Can we really stop it with the "Stephen Ireland is some modern day Edmundo" thing? His girlfriend miscarried so he made up a lie to try and cover up why he couldn't play for Ireland that week, and then he got some pink rims for his car. He's not exactly Margot Kidder.

that was more lol newcastle btw

i thought ahoyhoy just meant that lol @ the thought of newcastle doing psychological tests

xpost

in fact it had nothing to do with stephen ireland

In September 2007, Ireland was at the centre of controversy when, in the immediate aftermath of a Republic of Ireland international match and days before their crunch game against the Czechs, coach Steve Staunton informed him of a telephone call just received from his girlfriend reporting the death of his maternal grandmother. Staunton quickly consented to Ireland's compassionate leave on these grounds, a private jet was chartered for his return.

However the media quickly discovered that Ireland's grandmother was not dead, at which point Ireland announced it was his paternal grandmother who died but yet again, reporters discovered that Ireland's paternal grandmother was also still alive, and her relatives had threatened to sue one newspaper that reported her death. Ireland changed his story again, saying one of his grandfathers had divorced, and it was his second wife who had died. That was also quickly discovered to be untrue.[23]

Ireland eventually came out with the truth, admitting he had invented a reason to leave the Irish team in order to visit his girlfriend in Cork, who, he claimed, had had a miscarriage. "I decided at that stage that I must tell the truth and admit I had told lies," Ireland said. "I realise now it was a massive mistake to say my grandmothers had died and I deeply regret it."[24] However this too was found out to be another fabricated story. Stephen Ireland has to this day refused to comment (radio interview with 'bbc sport-talk') on why he couldn't control his lies. Further deception was invoked by the cork man when he refused to admit that he at the time did not even have a girlfriend or a grandmother or even an uncle to which he claimed was recently divorced from a grandmother in-law to which he also did not have.

tbh, fwiw, btw

OIC, nevermind

Not quite - the SPL deadline is 11pm, rest of the SFL is midnight.

And p much no one itt gives a shit about sfl tbh

So Charlie Adam to Utd is a thing, right?

carroll bid's been rejected according to my twitter timeline.

Championship top scorers last season:

1 Peter Whittingham 22 Cardiff City
2 Nicky Maynard 20 Bristol City
3 Gary Hooper 19 Scunthorpe United
3 Michael Chopra 19 Cardiff City
5 Charlie Adam 18 Blackpool
6 Andy Carroll 17 Newcastle United

Hooper cost us just over £2m iirc. Charlie Adam's current value is somewhere between £6-10m? Carroll for £35m looks all kinds of wrong for a big injured nutter.

big time charlie adam

Dudes its Liverpool, just because they got a manager who hasn't managed in 15 years and a CEO who was only introduced to football about 6 months ago and a captain who likes to beat up club DJs doesn't mean everything they do will be sane

Mike Hooper

to Liverpool

Image rights is the hold up according to BBC

Just let him have his obscure Spanish commercials and let it happen already!!!!!

False alarm! World class german full back seen at spurs lodge was really Hutton dressed as Lahm...

Twitter was made for shit like transfer deadline day.

Newcastle to apparently fill their striker gap by getting Crouch on loan. It truly is a day where everyone leaves with a worse squad than they started.

all of these people have done more than you ever will

xpost ahem chelsea won't

Yes I will never be involved in spending THIRTY FIVE MILLION POUNDS on Andy Carroll. What a waste of humanity I am Ronan. What a waste.

they should employ you as an adviser

You can still hope to get beaten by Gerrard.

xpost

I don't think they need to spend much on me to scribble a note to them in crayon saying R U FUCKIN MENTAL

You could get Pazzini and Suarez for less than one Carroll... Oh and Newcastle are now asking for me. If only I'd achieved as much in football as John Henry, I'd know what an ingenious move this is.

for more* lol odd freudian slip

Also love how you take everything I say about Liverpool as a personal insult dude. Calm down, its ok to lol at how fucking ridiculous this is.

Chelsea may be strengthened by the end of it

and Carroll could be an improvement on a sometimes off-form Torres!

and United could benefit from signing Adam

and West Ham are better than they were 24 hrs ago

what did whu do?

West Ham signed Robbie Keane on loan.

It feels weird to have a modern transfer deadline day without anyone mentioning Man City. At all.

That's more than £1m for every league goal Carroll has ever scored. And, assuming the transfer goes through - and apparently Carroll was being driven to Anfield by Kevin Nolan as the Fiver went to press - it could mean that come tonight the richest transfers in the history will read: 1) Cristiano Ronaldo, 2) Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 3) Fernando Torres, 4) Zinedine Zidane, 5) Luis Figo, 6) Hernan Crespo ... and, er, 7) Andy Carroll.

is kaka a figment of my imagination?

You forgot Kaka, in above Torres.

Sorry I should have read your last line really, but yeah £56m to Real wasn't it?

i didn't take anything as a personal insult, i just pointed out that you're a person on a messageboard. there are lots of you and not a great deal of difference in content.

Fernando Torres is a step up from that, of course, but the Fiver can't believe he's worth the £50m that Chelsea are ready to pay. Then again, given the choice between a striker who has won the World Cup, the European Championships and done it at Big Cup and international level versus one who has scored 34 goals in his career and whose knee-knack was once allegedly exacerbated after falling off a bar stool, we know who we'd chose.

Forgetting Kaka excepted, the Fiver killing it today.

Man City apparently had a 12m bid for PSV's Balázs Dzsudzsák rejected this morning. Dzsudzsák agreed to a renewed contract till 2015 hours later.

xpost at MattDC re: Man City

just got home, having heard none of today's events. um lol?

sky sports news is completely ridiculous right now. Adam apparently on way to Melwood.....or Old Trafford......or the moon.

adam to united means carrick back to the lane, i know that much.

HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT KESHA SUCKS - ID LIKE TO SEE YOU MAKE AN ALBUM

That bastion of reliable news reporting Fox News is now reporting that Newcastle have caved in on Carroll. If they sell him and get relegated then Ashley will look like one of the biggest numpties in Premiership history.

x-post i stopped believing that that argument was rubbish a long time ago, i suggest you do the same.

Also I'd like to think the great difference is that i'm not a racist or homophobe or sexist like seemingly most people on football message boards.

yeah - he handed in a transfer request about half an hour ago - being off sick from work on TDD is really great/awful.

Don't really get why LFC so desperate to spend their cash. We won't go down, we won't come 4th. If they've been evaluating things over the last few months and decided the way forward is Carroll and they desperately want him fair enough, but if it's more that they feel they have to show the fans something other then selling perhaps out best player then I wish they wouldn't bother.

1726: BREAKING NEWS: LIVERPOOL ANNOUNCE THEY HAVE AGREED A FEE FOR NEWCASTLE STRIKER ANDY CARROLL

Basically, I know I am just a person on a message board who will not make an ounce of difference. Doesn't mean I cannot criticise someone for an act of stupidity though. Or more importantly lol at it and encourage such ridiculous behaiviour for future lols.

Newcastle won't go down, come on. xpost.

Good move for Carroll I think, he needs to get away from the pressure cooker atmosphere of Newcastle and into a club where expectations are lower and his opportunities for partying and other shenanigans will be severely limited.

LOL
