Figures 1-0 Football

Defoe has confirmed that he's off to Bournemouth, £60k p/w according to SSN which is someway short of the £100k+ that was previously reported.

Oh fucking hell :'(

Not cool man. What happened? Rafa'll be fewmin'. No, it's not happened yet. I was meaning if we fail to sign him. Sorry.

Cant wait for the mass hysteria when we dont sign this chap.

Decent game that, might have to go.

Fucking precious little twats, emailing every single media outlet that they can think of to try and demonise a fan raising money for a flag. Cannot believe that they are still going on as if they have the sole right to fundraise for and display a flag, twats. A total embarrassment to our fanbase on a sad, sad day.

Aye, this conversation has run it's course. Back to talking about this incredible man :'(

And the response? Not sure it's even relevant. They clearly stated they "hadn't been asked" - which is a downright lie. The chap was more than open in his JustGiving page and states that if Gallowgate Flags don't wish to be involved, he'll display it on his own. He didn't suggest that they were involved in it, merely stated that if they want it - they can have it because of their already established links and resources.

Luke Edwards outing someone as a fucking fraudster based on a DM from one person. Fucking embarrassing that like, appalling from Gallowgate Flags to be phoning the police and sending messages like that to reporters because they think they own the stadium and every single thing that goes on in it. Fucking idiots. A 30 year old player has just lost his life, give your fucking heads a wobble.

Exactly my thoughts. Piss poor from Gallowgate Flags, especially in this incredibly sad situation.

https://twitter.com/LukeEdwardsTele/status/871810209806733313 Am I missing something, the bloke clearly says in his page that the flag/money raised will be donated straight to Gallowgate Flags or he'll display it himself if they don't want it.

No idea why Gallowgate Flags have posted those tweets like, not impressed with that at all.

Yes, it concerns us all. But don't mention it again, ever.

Mad to think that I was stood watching him at Birmingham away in January, less than 5 months later and this has happened. Don't dare watch the Sky tribute, not until I'm alone.

Maybe it was Semedo or Lejeune, rather than both.

Gallowgate blocks R, U and V have very few season ticket holders in. A few more in S and T but assuming it's going to be the Gallowgate, which would be the best place for a singing section, the Upper tier makes most sense. See I think the opposite end of the ground to the Strawberry corner would be most effective, otherwise we'll end up with a good atmosphere at one end and it'll struggle to travel across the rest of the ground. Maybe the corner of the East/Leazes stand.

Whilst of course not the right time to speculate, but I cant stop wondering if whatever the cause of this was had anything to do with why he failed medicals before leaving us. I just find it incredibly hard to accept that someone of his age and fitness and just collapse and die whilst at work.

Is it not going to just be the Strawberry corner?

Not like they only have 15 days annual leave is it? They have more days off then they have at work, and even training days are usually half days. I think you totally underestimate how hard some of them work like. Clubs often train twice a day, with lunch and tactical sessions in between. They also have many media, charity, sponsorship events that they have to attend. Throw into that the possible two games a week (in the EFL/in European competition) and you'll find out they have few days off (in comparison to the 2 days we get a week).

I'm sure all of you would totally love your jobs if you were only given 15 days annual leave a year like. Not saying it's right, but it's an obvious reason why players aren't too disappointed if they don't have to play in it.

Due to their Europa League campaign, Rangers resumed training today at 05:30 They only finished their season 15 days ago It's no surprise teams aren't arsed about that competition when it's like this.

He was quite clearly upset as he broke the news like, was very sad to watch. Still completely numb by this, feel absolutely gutted.

SSN reporting it as confirmed. Confirmed by his agent.
