>>SimonM...I see killgallon has gone. A big loss? Nice to see another ex-Leeds academy product in the premiership though.<<


I think so. But he is in his prime at 26 & it has been clear for ages he wanted to leave, so ?2 million 21 games before he could have gone for nothing is not bad going. He turned down both Newcastle and Burnley before agreeing to Sunderland. I take it you realise Leeds get 20% of the fee? :))

Has to be said, every time I see Gary Co*k I like him less and less. A disgrace to the club he allegedly supports.

The Mad Hatter NY is the hq of MCFC Official Supporters Club NYC- there is a large fanbase there.

We get 400k....good stuff. Might come in handy for next season. Hope he does well at Sunderland.

I think just as many idiots follow Rugby it's just footy is more intense and perhaps brings rowdy behaviour quicker to the fore.

It's more to do with Rugby fans being more middle class than football fans. My wife used to live in Twickenham and got really fed up with Rugby fans weeing through her letter box

No Matthew - a much higher proportion of idiots follow football. Rugby is a bit more civilised, surely. I'm not aware that there has ever been violence between rugby fans - compared to the history of violence between football fans - surely that says it all.

I was part of a group of Moseley fans attacked by Leicester fans at the Cup Final at Twickenham as far back as 1979!! And from talking to colleagues who go to games regularly, it does seem to be creeping into fan behaviour as the game tries to attract a wider audience.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By first mate · Posted

      Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.

      Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
