Just ordered tickets for the Bury match and the Sheffield match. It looks like a big crowd for the Bury match, the NW was nearly sold out.
Arsene Wenger has stuck a big 2 fingers up at the BBC and the FA with that line up tonight. It's more a 3rd team than a reserve team.
Sutton Utd reserve goalkeeper Wayne Shaw was forced to resign today, after reportedly backing himself to win a massive....£160 by eating a pie during the match. Bookmakers - taking the p1ss out of his size - had offered special bets. The 41 year old fatty had dedicated his life to Sutton, and had performed just about every role at the Club although he was never trusted to be Club Chef. He had also slept on a sofa at the club 3 nights a week during hard times. If the goalie's name was Al-Wayni al Shawi and he had been pictured snuffling some halal meat on the bench from behind his burka, I somehow doubt he would have got the same rough treatment?
Harsh on him, but not sure its a racial matter? Sad way for it to end. Too many people over reacted and ultimately helped force the clubs decisions. He'll be on im a celebrity next year, no doubt.
Judging by social media (not always wise, I know) Wayne was an easy target for some. I think they would have given someone who was not a fat red blooded Englishman an easier time. We need another keeper with Rudd only a loan...
If bookies throw up comical bets like that - and are more than happy to collect the money on it - then they should have a sense of humour when he calls them out on it. The whole thing is pathetic. He'll go on yo make money though so good for him
Gillingham have signed Ollie Muldoon Thoughts @DickPlumb @ForestHillBilly @AllHellLetLoose They must see something Robinson doesn't.
He was on their books for a while. I last saw him 2 or 3 years ago, as an 18-year-old with good potential who took a great free-kick. Since then I can't give an informed opinion.
Once Shaw knew about the bet he was screwed. Surely if he decided not to eat a pie then he was also breaking the rules and influencing the outcome? I think Sutton got nervous and acted before the FA/Commission had a chance to, silly decision.
Ollie was on loan at the Gills last season I think and did quite well, my guess is that Ollie saw that there were too many young CM's in front of him and asked to be released, he is a good footballer and a very nice young man so I assume the Club let him go so he could continue to develop at a new club...
Ranieri sacked by Leicester after all he did for them. Ungrateful (*edit) idiot owners. Hope they get relegated now.
Disgusting. Ranieri being moved to tears when Bocelli (sp) sang at the KP stadium will be a memory that will forever stay with me. No words in truth.
After 25 years of life and football obsession Roland had almost killed my enjoyment of it, these moronic Thai owners have sealed the deal
Very classy - something these Thais with their pathetic fawning to the Thai "royal family" wouldn't comprehend. I read earlier about how the Chairman made his billion - a Thai version of the Chelsea owner in many ways. Awful, awful people.
