5 Facts, Findings & Thoughts About: Mariners, Damari Rejected & Bellamy Balls

1) It took so long for the signing of Kelvin Wilson to go through that his Man Of The Match award from the official site was expected and could have almost been written into his contract.

2) The game was marred by 11 arrests after numerous failed pitch invasions during the half time interval. Is this some Aussie extreme sport or just drunken over exuberance? Whatever it was it was embarrassment and should probably make Celtic consider these trips more carefully.

If our games become high risk then sponsors and teams will be less likely to invite us to play as the costs involved in the Policing could make our fee less attainable. Remember, we are only there for the money. Let’s call a summit. Paul Hogan is available for a photocall with Alex Slamond.

3) Transfer madness over the weekend saw Omer Damari get his move to Hapoel Tel Aviv. This comes after we rejected his clubs valuation and terms and conditions. Plus the dealings with a wankstain of a chairman with all the manners of an STD didn’t help matters.

The word rejected has been the cause of much mirth recently after it was spun as being a dignified response to a clubs valuation, which is bollocks. Off course.

Though the club involved did reject using the same logic as we did (though not the same factors that we did).

It’s part of the game. Clubs reject other clubs valuations of players everyday when the transfer window is open. You also have to deal with hyperbolic uber cockified chairmen or, worse still, Arry Redknapp, who like the sound of their own voice that much that they listen to their own interviews on their Ipods. I have no problem with this. At least we have the money to pay our fees up front unlike some others.

4) Since we have rejected Damari and looks like we will be rejected by Boothroyd (how can we compete with West Brom and such?) the attention, seemingly, turns to Huskelpp (problem high wages, dodgy agent) and the summer favourite, like sunburn, cider and pishy shorts, Craig Bellamy.

Please forgive me if I don’t believe that we are top of Bellamy’s Bucket List of things to do before his knees give way. There is around £60,000 notes a week and the fact that we are not close to Wales for me to consider first. Again, I feel the age old: “We done our best but….” lines that we became accustomed to last season will come out again.

I question also whether the conditions that would be attached and circus that would surround such a box office signing would be the best for the club.

5) Are David Haye and Shaun Maloney related? They both seem to use lame injuries as excuses for performance issues.
