Think of a player who leaves his foot in to hit a goalie with force on the head in order to simulate a dive, claim and then get a penalty with red card dished out. Flann O'Brien couldn't script it better.Quote:

McClean transfer fee agreed @ 6.45pm. He's a Pulis type player, should do well, great move for him and well deserved.
Stutts, Stutts, Stutts. I wasn't trying to apply any sort of impartial or neutral logic in that instance. You must have had me mistaken!Quote:

McClean deal expected to go through on Monday after cooler heads prevailed; opted against MLS move.

I would be happy if Brady joins him. Quinn, McShane or Hendrick would be a bonus.
Arter, Hoban, Hoolahan, Brady & McClean in and Dunne, Ward, Quinn, McShane and Meyler out.
Balances out.
If O'Kane or Murray get any Premier League football that would just be another bonus.
Yea I actually quite like Naismith as a player, I always remember one incident where he was laughing at a player who got sent off, it was kind of funny, it was the sort of thing a 9 year old would do,Quote:

However he is also pretty sporting, congratulating the opposition keeper on a good save, which is more than de Gea's Man U team mates did, he seems to play with a good competitive spirit.
He also does more than most for charity, seem a good character, note he also goes to look after his injured team mate too.
I would have rathered out of all the Scottish player that he was not playing against us.

Don't know if he intended this but it is quite funny!!
I'd say he did intend it but didn't expect it to work!

This is what I was thinking off earlier ( you might have to watch on youtube if it freezes).

I am not too sure exactly what happen but Tomkins tried to get player sent off

It says a lot about the Irish team at the moment when we are discussing the merits of a competitive, irritating in a good way if he is in our team type of player.
The Scots have always produced this type of Player. Maybe not so obvious these days with cameras everywhere to keep an eye on them.
Osman is even funnier than Naismith in that picture.

Positive words in the most part, although Pulis refers to his years at Wigan as "indifferent."
Great move. I'm delighted for him.

Great move, hope it works out well for him.
Back on the telly!!! :encouragement:
If there was (I saw a few tweets but I don't think anything widespread, thankfully), the predictable Belfast Telegraph were certainly more than happy to indulge it. Wrote a bit on it here: https://danieldcollins.wordpress.com...d-poppy-issue/Quote:

A member of the West Brom boards referred to West Brom being a "Protestant" club and an affinity to Rangers. You really can't make it up.Quote:

I feel like they don't fancy you chaps much in general. Guess I'm a little late to that party. How anyone would fail to appreciate the jovial irishman is beyond my purview.
