Rory Deacon earned himself a summer move. Decent little player.3

Anyone else just spot Chris Perry in the crowd?3
-
Yes I thought the same re CP.
Sutton did themselves proud. Shame they didn't score - would not have been undeserved.3 -
Remember that one as well. worthy of a straight red. I remember he also scythed down David Rocastle, who was in full flight when we lost 3-2 to Arsenal at Selhurst.AllHailTheHen said:

The fat goalkeeper on the bench who ate the pie for the bet/publicity stunt during the game.....what an absolute prat.
Hopefully Lincoln won't fall into the same trap of turning a great cup run into a mere publicity stunt3 -
That absolute helm with his banner what a prick1
-
Good luck to him. He wasn't going to come on. He was only on the bench due to their actual reserve goalkeeper being injured. He was brought to the club as the goalkeeping coach.cafctom said:The fat goalkeeper on the bench who ate the pie for the bet/publicity stunt during the game.....what an absolute prat.

I see the treatment of the competition by the 'big' clubs as a more productive means of venting my spleen, rather than digging out a non league fat bloke.6 -
Lighten up, the blokes 46 and was simply having a laugh and enjoying himself once he knew he wouldn't be required to come on as a sub. If he did it as a bet and made some money out of it then good luck to him.cafctom said:The fat goalkeeper on the bench who ate the pie for the bet/publicity stunt during the game.....what an absolute prat.

Nope, still standing by the opinion that it was the wrong thing to do. Regardless of whether he was coming on or not, I wouldn't want anyone on my team trying to steal the limelight and make it all about them whilst the game is still going on.3

i see there asking for 15% of whl what is the current capacity of whl? anyone know, there reasoning, its better to have people inside where the police can see them than outside causing trouble - before a ball has even been kicked they know theres gonna be playing up, to really annoy them id stick it on a monday night and whack it on tv or sunday at 12.0

I thought 15% was the standard allocation for FA Cup ties. Clubs will make excuses about segregation to get out of giving the proper allocation.
15% of the Valley is about 4,000, that's why we gave Brentford, I think, one block in the East Stand for a cup game years ago.1 -
All the unemployed Millwall fans will have a full day drinking if its Monday night. If its Sunday midday they may miss it due to attending church groups. Hard choice.palarsehater said:i see there asking for 15% of whl what is the current capacity of whl? anyone know, there reasoning, its better to have people inside where the police can see them than outside causing trouble - before a ball has even been kicked they know theres gonna be playing up, to really annoy them id stick it on a monday night and whack it on tv or sunday at 12.

If I was a fan I'd happily take a Monday night under the lights. Police will probably favour it too, so they can draw more resources.
They should get what Wycombe got (circa 4k) but Police could easily reduce it, but to be fair the clubs point is a valid one about better inside than out.0 -
http://news.sky.com/story/pie-eating-goalkeeper-wayne-shaw-resigns-from-sutton-utd-10776585
Wayne Shaw agrees to leave Sutton Utd after investigations are opened into his pie eating during the club's game against Arsenal.
The reserve goalkeeper admitted he knew Sun Bets were offering 8-1 odds on him eating the pastry prompting the Gambling Commission and the Football Association to look into whether the incident broke any rules.
Sutton United manager Paul Doswell told Sky News he had asked Shaw to leave the club and he had agreed.
Nicknamed the 'Roly Poly Goalie' because of his 20st weight, 46-year-old Shaw was also employed as part of the coaching team.
Look out for him in the next Sun Bets adverts I'm sure.1 -
Hopefully Sutton will be able to give him a pukka reference.4
-
Wow, this is shit.
- He knew odds were offered on him eating a pie
- He may or may not have known whether his mates had bet on it
- ^ He probably DID know
- He ate the pie
- He's had to resign
Basically, a bookie took the piss out of a fat guy and offered those odds based on that. He thought "haha fuck it why not, I'll have a pie", possibly/probably knowing there had been bets placed on it as a novelty.
Surely NOT eating the pie would also have been one form of collusion, if he suddenly were to be an arsehole to his mates, in the knowledge that they'd bet on it and he wanted them to lose a few quid?
Lose-lose situation all round for him. And really really shit from the S*n/S*n Bets.1 -
He made the night all about himself. No one is talking about Sutton's heroic performance. Only talking about him and his action.
In wrestling terms we would say he went into business for himself.

The Scum strikes again1

I think the media attention got to him. I have some sympathy, as it's a "once in a lifetime" situation for him, but he sadly went too far1

alan shearer - i followed my dreams to be a player he followed his dreams to the burger van,
hes the type of guy ( the goalie ) that loves the banter and that, but thought it was a bit unprofessional to say.0 - Sponsored links:

Shame that BT Sport have got the Non-League tie... Wonder who gets priority here.0

I know it's Man U again, but the Chelsea Man U game is clearly the pick of the round, I assume the BBC got first choiceForeverAddickted said:Shame that BT Sport have got the Non-League tie... Wonder who gets priority here.

To be fair though its the Quarters now so with all seven games now being shown on TV for the rest of the competition they will appear each time if they make the Finalkillerandflash said:

Wonder if they take it in turns then... i.e. BBC got first pick with the Chelsea game, BT Sport then took the Lincoln game leaving the BBC to then pick either the risk of Middlesbrough v Huddersfield or the guaranteed underdog Millwall fixture.0 -
