This is interesting despite the fact the writer of the article can't spell. See here.

Or even doing a John Motson and saying that all these coloured footballers look so much alike.

Yes, but their comments didn't go out on air - nor were they intended to. These comments were probably only heard by a handful of people inside the Sky studio - one of whom then nastily, spitefully and vindictively decided to record them and make them public. Career over. End of.

I'm an eternal optimist but I couldn't help noticing Hamilton have made a couple of decent looking signings today. Their squad is now considerably larger than ours, and they appear to well enough equipped to avoid relegation. I'd hate to see any of our key players picking up an injury over the next few weeks. It could cause considerable damage - there are several key positions where we are completely short of meaningful cover.

It is complete madness.... I just hope he finds out who it was who recorded his off guard, private comments and then made them public.

They were discussing the footie. As CaleyD said on a previous post these "offensive comments" were actually part of a private conversation between the two of them - they weren't aimed at a world-wide audience. Who cares what they say or do or even think in private? I don't.

Would anyone have believed him if he had said he wanted to stay? Eh yes , why wouldn't they ? Cause they all say things like that.... Who will ever forget Old Grandpa Broon, one of the most honest and trusted men in the game, telling the world how much Motherwell FC meant to him - everyone from the chairman down to the tea-lady was just so special - the players the fans - everyone. There was no way he was ever going to leave a club like that. 24 hours later he was unveiled as Aberdeen's new manager!

Would anyone have believed him if he had said he wanted to stay?

Jazz singer George Melly was once asked if it had been the love of a good woman that changed him from homo to heterosexual. No, he replied, it was several bad ones!

Rooney's favourite song.

This story seems to have died a death.... Now looking unlikely that Adam Rooney will be joining Hibs, who've just signed Martin Scott from County.

Wish Walter had booted him up here instead of Gil Blumenshtein.

Yeah, sporting superstars.... No doubt our very own Charles Bannerman will be hovering around in the hope of picking up Colin Montgomery's autograph....

As it happened that lady was absolutely fine on the day - no mistakes recorded. How many male assist refs have we seen up here that we could say the same for?

I thought ICT threw him on the scrapheap.

Suspended for making sexist remarks about the lady assist ref on duty at the Liverpool v wolves game. What a pair of plonkers!

I think we'll finish higher than tenth, and will continue to hold out hope of a Top 6 place. I accept your comments re depth of squad. Interesting to note that even lowly Hamilton have a squad of 29. The team we played yesterday had no fewer than 5 changes from the one we played at NDP. I thought Hamilton looked quite a decent side on Saturday - their defence was excellent - they were effective on the break and a draw was a probably a fair result. I really can't see them being relegated. As far as squad size goes we really have to keep our fingers crossed regarding fitness, injuries etc.... Hardly an ideal situation to be in. Time is running out on the transfer window too, but can we afford to bring anyone else in without someone going out? .

Great news for golf fans! Just been announced that the Scottish Open - July 7th to 12th - is moving from Loch Lomond to Castle Stuart. Phil Mickelson has hailed Castle Stuart as a great golf course, and one which will prepare golfers better for the British Open, which takes place the following week. Good chance that Tiger(Shagger) Woods will make an appearance in this one, too.... So lock up your daughters.

Yeah, I was surprised SMEE was aware of it, but not surprised to hear it set off his smoke alarms.

My wife mentioned she felt the earth move around 6.05am this morning. I just assumed it was something to do with me.

How many were tipping ICT to win the SFL title around this time last year? In fact how many honestly thought we'd a achieve a Top 6 finish in the SFL one year ago? I rest my case.

I genuinely believe wee Johnny Hayes will be the difference between a Top 6 and a bottom six finish. He was only on for ten minutes yesterday, but still managed create a couple of chances in that time - but much more significantly - he gave the whole team a real lift. Our next 6 games will decide whether we make it or not - With Hayes back in the frame you've surely got to fancy our chances against the likes of : Aberdeen home Dundee Utd home St Mirren away St Johnstone home Hibs away Motherwell home I would fancy ICT to take at least 12 points from that lot which should be good enough for the Top 6. . .

Very negative comment! As long as Jonny Hayes remains injury free we will soon start picking up points again and we will be in the hunt for a top 6 finish.

Agree with OP, but maybe with Nick Ross more in central midfield and Foran wide left,

I didn't see that tackle as anything more than a click of the heels from a defender who was obviously skinned for pace. JH didn't make an issue of it - he just picked himself up and got on with the game - no harm done.
