nd his ability to wind up every other diddy outfit is his best quality.

Rangers keep tweeting about him with Colombia flags too, which presumably winds up some.

Sutton is a wind up merchant that loves the sound of his own voice, he is employed to annoy.

Good to know that in an ever decreasing readership papers can afford to annoy their punters.

I think ultimately that approach might not really work though.

But still you read every word.

If you could fking read you'd see that I picked it up in the barbers. I haven't bought a paper for years. I don't tend to consume any Scottish media off or online, as it's parochial grievance based bks typified by that prick Sutton and more often that prick Sturgeon.

I blame your education.

No need to get all defrosted,maybe it's you that has some learning difficulties in the comprehension department?
Where did I say or imply you bought a newspaper?

[technodup]

I read your 'read' as 'reed', not 'red', which would imply I read the st on an ongoing basis. I didn't even read the whole article, he lost me after 'SFA conspiracy'. Maybe you should choose your words more carefully.

Either way your rolling smiley isn't appropriate. Not sure they're ever appropriate, the mark of a moron imo.

His goal tally is good as his positional awareness. But watch him off the ball.

Do you mean that in a positive or negative sense?

Allan Johnston parts company with Dunfermline

So they're looking like having a below average season instead the usual playoff/promotion kind of level. Never understood the fashion for chopping management when things aren't going as well as previous seasons. Not as if they'll get dragged into relegation.

Magic and Clark did brilliantly at QoS then moved to Killie doing not so well. Seems to be the way for management/coaching to leave QoS and fail for want of a better word rather than push on. They seemed to be doing solid enough and Dunfermline, no need for a panic change there imho.

"That’s about getting specialist help and lying low and focussing on the simple things in your life that will allow you to be better.“

A peculiar insight as this story takes another turn. I would have thought that the club and manager would be supportive of their troubled player living life ‘normally’ and not entering some sort of monk-like existence. I could see HR getting involved in other organisations if a manager accused a staff member with health problems of acting like they were “on holiday”.

Is it ok not to be ok, or not?

We'll never know the whole story to make that judgement.

If he does have a gambling problem as suggested, despite his denial, being seen at a race meeting is just pretty stupid.

Sounds like Sutty has the WUM precision of a laser guided missile, managing a permarage factor of 12 every 6 weeks with one shot

"Reed" "red" "moron" "choose words more carefully"

Yes, a noticeable amount of airtime and internet bandwidth is taken up by trolls in every area of life these days.

I find it weird that BR is even talking about it at all in a media interview tbh. I won’t be surprised if something random happens and, for example, he’s loaned out to Hibs at the end of January or has his contract terminated.

Negative. He's poor off the ball. Watch him.

You don't consume any media, yet you swan around NP&E putting the world to rights?! Even though you're completely out of touch?!

I can see him at Hibs soon. Especially with our changes up front, Lennon likes him, and the fact he's a Hibbee.

Lets see if Griffiths can get his act together first before we start fantasising about Celtic writing off a lost transfer fee, Leigh having to rip up a multi-million contract so that Hibs can get a player they wouldn't otherwise have a chance of getting until 2022 at the earliest (when his contract ends)

Don't think Celtic would be too keen to do Hibs any favours after the McGinn debacle either

Only time will tell but I can see Leigh finishing his career at Easter Road.

McGinn debacle? You mean when the Celtic board tried to get him on the cheap and refused to consider Hibs asking price until after Aston Villa did? McGinn chose Aston Villa - and it was his decision - this was not a debacle and was no fault of Hibs.

I don't doubt Leigh won't end up at Easter Road, however it won't be as "soon" as you alluded too in your earlier post

Re McGinn, Celtic where quoted £4m, Aston Villa where quoted £3m, he ended up going for £2.7m

[DocJock]

The deciding factor though was that McGinn will earn at least double the salary at Villa.
