Another world record ... 4 pens?


Doubted this headline but looking like it's true ...

"TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY - BREAKING NEWS @scotlandsky@sky sports
The Rangers issue a hands-off warning to all clubs interested in John Beaton,
Bobby Madden, Willie Collum, Craig Thompson, Douglas Ross & ANDREW DALLAS,
all of whom are vital to their title challenge.

So Defoe gets away with it. Sly git knew exactly what he was doing - go down; jump up: pretend he's not interested in pen but knows he might fool the ref and of course Dallas was more than eager to oblige ...

"insufficient evidence" apparently. Were they expecting a signed confession?

Compare and contrast:

Aleksandar Tonev loses appeal against racial abuse ban
In making its findings public, the appeals tribunal pointed out that there were "two inconsistent accounts" and that the original panel had to decide who they considered to be right on "the balance of probabilities".

It's not the first time, so why are we surprised?

"I had spoken to Brendan [Rodgers] only last week and he had assured me that he was 100% committed to Watford FC and our plan for the future. But once Brendan had confirmed his desire to discuss the [managerial] opportunity and Reading had met a contractual compensation figure, we were powerless to prevent him doing so," said the Watford chairman Jimmy Russo.

We should have seen the signs, he's a mercenary plain and simple. I don't mind mercenaries as long as they are honest and forthright about their intentions but Brendan has shown his true colours so we are probably well shot of him.

I'm not as disappointed or angry as I should be, mostly because i'm pleased to see Lenny back at Celtic.

Agree and what concerns me most is the fact that there's a rebuilding job to be done in the summer. Cant be sure who exactly is to blame but with losing Benkovic, Toljan, Boyata, Burke & Weah at the end of the season (unless some of the loans can be extended) that seems far too many players to be replaced at one time. Also wouldn't be surprised to see Rodgers come sniffing around for the likes of McGregor, Tierney or Edouard - just hope Lawwell is so pissed with him he tells him where to go in no uncertain terms!

Well rumours are that Kieran Tierney told BR to **** off when he was told the news. Not a single Celtic player has tweeted good wished to BR which is unusual in this day and age.

Probably to do with the fact that BHEASTS are revolting and if any BHEAST players was to wish Brentan luck, they'd get the full ire of the BHEAST internet presence.

The rest of your story is made up nonsense though and you being in your 60's, it's actually embarrassing that you are posting such pish but it is your life I suppose.
