Grown-up footballers, Mourinho accused of cheating, Linfield lucre

371

When did footballers get all grown-up? Jonny Hayes offer to pay for new Aberdeen strips which had his name emblazoned on them, before his transfer to Celtic, is just such a thoroughly decent thing to do. He added a condition that the strips he bought back were donated to a worthy cause.

Small gestures go a long way in the game. I suspect this guy will surprise a few on the upside.

Linfield want to face Celtic at an early kick-off on 11 July for financial reasons, instead of taking the second leg to Belfast a week later, when, you have to assume, they expect the competitive element to have gone from the tie. 11 July is no less combustible in Belfast than the 12th (it is technically more combustible).

Kick-off at 9am, let the football fans watch their team in without the distraction of Belfast’s nocturnal July activates, or switch the first leg to Glasgow. And then hold the second leg at 9am in Belfast.

Jose Mourinho was thing morning accused of being a cheat! The Spanish tax authorities are 14 years and one month behind Celtic fans. Pay your tax or Karma will get you every time.

    Can we not judge people by their religion or nationality on here please? Sounds a wee bit racist….

    Tell you what.

     

    The huns have got a fair whack of pallets for their big fire.

     

    Maybe they should sell them and buy Jamie Walker:)

    Does anyone know the story about Efrain Juarez. Looked a good wee player but disappeared after about 20 games. Always found it strange.

    Thanks for the focus, back to what matters

     

     

    Anything official at any courts?

    Dave King will be hoping that the proceeds from any unused pallets can be used to fix the roof, and buy another eight players:)

    They pallets are about a score a piece. How do the monkeys get them? Buy, thieve or borrow? :)

  11. Fascinating piece by John Sweeney on Northern Ireland and the DUP on Newsnight there.

    I saw the cryptic David Low stuff, not quite sure what it means.

     

     

    Maybe given his background he’s ahead of the game, or are SMSM just not cognisant of Craig Whyte who is now officially…….. off the radar?

  13. weebobbycollins on

    TGM…Doubt we will ever see a mexican flag at the dump nor an italian one…too similar…and if the red starts to fade? omg!

  14. ” David Low @Heavidor·

     

    3h…I’m expecting big fights over both clubs this year as well as a Dave K share switcheroo. ”

     

    ……………………………………………..

     

    BTW, I noticed that Luca Moderic was getting done for telling porkies in court and he may well get jail time, it’s just as well he wisny in scotland telling lies in court, they would be throwing the book at him, wouldn’t they Sir MInty.

  15. Interesting that two of the Barclays executives have been charged with ‘financial assistance’. Similar charge as CW.

    They have been stockpiling them.

     

    Making them themselves.

     

    Silly, those pallets could have bought a David Heely or a Kyle Laughatme:)

  17. Poor old Efrain Juarez. Looked the part. Yeah he really did. But then a party involving some of central americas best party starters and ladies of the night day and some who were confused of gendar got in the way.

     

     

    His Mexican team mates were lonely I London right enough and he was only being a good egg….

    An Ivory Coast player and his flag would be welcome in the bigot dome, I am sure. :)

    Don’t think the scottish weather suited Efrain Juarez…always seemed to have a runny nose…

  24. Sunderland continue to pay the price for more than 10 years of mismanagement

    The Guardian, 20 June 2017

     

     

    Some extracts; can you join up the dots, chums, to reveal an old, disreputable favourite?

     

     

    After a decade spent in the Premier League, the newly relegated Wearside club somehow find themselves at least £110m in debt…

     

    …Martin Bain, Sunderland’s chief executive, having spent weeks courting McInnes it was an embarrassing rebuff…

     

    …Short – who has invested around £200m of his personal fortune in Sunderland since 2008 – is understood to have rejected a £50m bid…

     

    ….Sunderland have just sold Jordan Pickford to Everton for £30m and will receive £47m worth of parachute payments this season…

     

    …it seems hard to credit precisely how Sunderland are in such a mess after 10 years in the world’s wealthiest league. As their Sweden Under-21 striker Joel Asoro recently put it: “Sunderland received £93m for finishing bottom of the Premier League. It’s crazy. Why don’t they have the money? …

     

    ….the suspicion is that Bain – advised by his fellow Scots Walter Smith and Graeme Souness – lacks imagination in the recruitment sphere…
