Anyone notice Mark Wright (Towie fame) made his debut today for Crawley?

All 3 minutes of it, can't believe the fuss that was made, you'd think it was David Beckham.

strawberry floating hilarious that a team who used one of their match day squad slots for a publicity stunt beat Leeds 3-0 though.

I had no idea just who that guy was that was being made a fuss of on BBC TV, etc. I just assumed he was some lower leagues veteran!

His brother, Josh Wright, is lower league veteran and joined Crawley this month as well. Was also on bench.

Surprised they didn't bring both of them on. They'd have been flying if they had....

Leeds :lol:

Hopefully that performance will go some way to stopping the media wanking themselves off about them constantly.

And there've been a few bad dives lately, but this is the worst I've seen, from Lukaku:



No punishment for trying to cheat, of course. :fp:

Celtic went to Dubai for a mid-season holiday and as expected the squad have all come back to the U.K. with Coronavirus. Honestly, you have to laugh at the incompetence on display for there. I hope all the players get well soon but I’ve no sympathy whatsoever for the club’s staff who have made their imbecilic beds and must now lie in them. :lol:

Isn't it just one player who has tested positive?

One player confirmed but it seems they've identified 13 other players as close contacts who must self isolate. So overall it seems it was a silly idea to flyout to Dubai for a training camp.

Two now, they've identified David Turnbull and another player allegedly, but yeah thirteen needing to self isolate alongside the manager and assistant manager, so our youth squad will be playing Hibs tonight. Rocsteady will be strawberry floating buzzing :lol:

A bunch WSL clubs did the same thing with similar results. Idiots, the lot of 'em. And you just know it was more than training – there had to have been some money spinning aspect to it as well.

With the state of infection in the UK, getting your players out of here is probably a good idea. ;)
