Teamgers 1,214 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 ESPN have called a staff meeting for 9am Tuesday morning when they will make "a major announcement" it is expected that ESPN will inform its staff that BT Sport have bought ESPN's UK operation including rights for the FA Cup, Europa League, Scottish football and the BundesligaIt is not known how many of the ESPN team will transfer to BT. But highly rated reporter / presenter Rebecca Lowe has impressed both ESPN’s American network chiefs and NBC, who have the US Premier League rights. Lowe’s possible move across the Atlantic might be connected to her partner, football manager Paul Buckle, leaving non-League Luton Town for personal reasons.

Iron Curtain 60 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Good timing for this thread , they milked the singing today and I was half-thinking of cancelling my account after Stubbs outburst. The club dealt with this promptly and it should have been left at that.Wouldn't get rid of it before the Derby della Madonnina later right enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen anything like it.I think I'd be giving my permanent address as C/O Strathclyde Police Office if I still lived in Scotland.As to your question about getting grief in pubs for singing our songs? the answer is only if I stumbled into Bairds pished But seriously; we used to get into a few scraps with tarriers, but nothing we couldn't handle.The Polis never seemed to bother us too much either except if we were involved in a riot, but certainly not for fucking singing,because we never complained about the tarriers singing and they didn't complain about us.The country has gone fucking soft these days.
