Yeah I was sent a pic of Evan... not great

His father needs to give him an unmerciful boot up the behind

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers - and tiny baby! - also got into a selfie with McGregor. You'd think he, at least, would have a bit more wit:

Bizarre.

That is actually shocking from Rodgers - you can understand what are effectively a bunch for overpaid kids hanging around with this ****** - but Rodgers should have known better.

You wouldn't see Chris Hughton at that kind of carry on, no no.

The only thing which might explain it is that BR just happened to be holidaying nearby with his family, McGregor bumped into him, asked for a selfie and BR just thought it easier/quicker to pose for a few seconds than tell him to push off?

But if not something like that, then what else was BR thinking, as you say.

Agree and I think there is, similarly, more chance that Ferguson bumped into MacGregor and his cohort in Pacha out of coincidence and the overlapping social circles than anything more nefarious. MacGregor asks him for a photo, whats he going to say? I think the lad is allowed to go wherever he likes in the off season as long as he behaves himself and then gets focused for the season ahead when he has to. Much ado about nothing...

I know it takes all sorts and maybe it's not so bad, but I often think if more of our players eschewed the party scene (even in the off-season), they'd be playing at a higher level for better teams. James McClean is a great example of someone who works and works and works to get the most out of their abilities. While some lads are out partying over the summer, McClean's Instagram shows him in the boxing ring, in the gym or spending time with his family. It's why he's the captain of Wrexham and back in the Championship, raring to go again at the age of 36.

No player's as Keen as James McClean !

[Eirambler]

McClean was lucky he didn't kill himself in that self inflicted car crash a few months ago. Sounded like he went for a crazy overtaking move in bad weather and was lucky not to crash into others. I'm not 100% sure he'd be the first choice of role model I'd go for.

which photo is really worse at the end of the day? Stevies or Fergies

Lets hope Evans career goes better than that knob

Quite possible, especially with Rodgers being a former Liverpool manager and McGregor being a big Liverpool fan.

McGregor is a big United fan. https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detai...ted-allegiance

Off the mark for the season, with AZ's opener against Lives Tampere in the Conference League tonight

[Acornvilla]

It's unlikely to last but they're 2-1 down!

The wonderfully named Roope Riski with a brace.

[Crosby87]

It doesn't get much better than AZ Vs Ilves Tampereen
