He's calling you a girl.

**SkStu** · 27/04/2015, 8:46 PM

Stutts isn't a girl.

He's a lady.

Really, so you don't think scouts notice these things when appraising a player they haven't seen before?

He's a great player boss.
Is he tall? Is he strong?
Dunno, I didn't notice.

I think it's okay once you don't say he has a lovely figure.

Not sure from the clip which one he is. The first defender had it pretty tied till the cover showed up, upon first view, anyway.

Rodgers praises O'Connell after assured performance v Leicester.

Could start tomorrow v Astana due to a raft of injuries.

according to Brendan Rodgers (source the42.ie, quoted above by my reliable ally TOWK) "he's a good size".

Obviously his stature, and the importance of it, has made an impression on someone whose opinion is a bit more important than mine.

**Charlie Darwin** · 26/07/2016, 10:06 PM

To be fair, there's very little Brendan Rodgers says that isn't a bit odd. I get the feeling he could turn small talk about the weather into something quite unpleasant.

**tetsujin1979** · 26/07/2016, 11:07 PM

they got it from twitter: https://twitter.com/celticfc/status/757931656984551428

Yeah but you did say, if I remember correctly, that he has "a great arse". It's a bit different.
