Shooting from the hip

In a recent football match against Huddersfield Town, Gill Swerts, a Notts County football player, was sent off, no doubt for some kind of foul on the field.

I don't think it was this foul though.

They say that your predictive text is based on your own personal typing history, so someone at Sky Sports has a little explaining to do.

Rugby tackle

Some people argue that Jon Wells, one of the presenters on the Sky Sports Live Super League show, talks a load of bo--ocks when discussing tactics and patterns of play.

Looking at the back of his script, it's hard to disagree.

Expecting the unexpected

I like Brian McDermott. I really do. And, even though Dennis A sent me this, I'm guessing that he does too.

As Head Coach at Leeds Rhinos, BMcD is clearly inspirational, motivational and an all-round good egg.

Put him in front of a microphone, though, and the egg becomes decidedly scrambled.

This is his reaction to newly-recruited Tom Briscoe's hat-trick of tries on his debut.

Hmm. I'd stick to coaching, Brian. You're good at that.

Procrastination

It's all kicking off in the world of Rugby League. (Pun entirely intentional.)

In previous corporate lives I've attended meetings about meetings. You know the ones. Their sole purpose, or so it seems, is to arrange the time and date of the next meeting.

And we often hear, especially in diplomatic circles, of talks about talks.

But voting to vote? That's a new one on me.

Capital offence

Angie J was horrified to see the name of her country's largest city defiled the other week.

You really mustn't welsh on your spelling, Sky Sprots.

It should be a matter of principality.
