At least they pay tax in the UK to fund the NHS etc instead of slithering off to Monaco or Singapore to pay their greatly reduced dues like some of our ‘patriots’.

The report the government commissioned several years ago clearly identifies that the gambling industry preys on certain sectors of our society, but what have they done about it, sweet FA.

Now the constant adverts are whitewashed with ‘know your limit’ or gamble aware’ It’s like a drug dealer waving heroin under your nose 24/7 and saying, just have one.

Not a former player, but it's good to see that Lamberk has found his rightfull place in footy being a pundit for Lad-brokes*, drivelling on about his best XI of players he's managed.

I've listerned to the video three times but I can't understand a word of it. He sounds like a piss-head trying to order a curry. Something about David Fox being a class act. I would have included Jonnie Jackson myself.

It's funny, because if I had to choose my team of the biggest w@n#ers that had soiled our club, I'd be hard pushed to choose between him and Mick 'bigger bastard than....'

*Gamble Aware - Please be aware that the bosses of gambling firms tend to get very, very rich, whilst:

I guess a lot of people would say 'a fool and their money - they deserve it' but according to the UK government, the biggest fools are Joe Public who end up paying for it.

....but if some D-lister is desperate for a new Masersharti, then what does it matter whose shilling they take.

“It’s really helpful of the EFL to give us a three-game week in the last week of the transfer window – we’re so thankful for that!

“I don’t know who makes these decisions, not football people because it just blows my mind but it is what it is.

He also said “We hope everyone gets caught up with their fixtures and forgets about our players because we’d like to keep the group together, if we could but we know that that’s going to be a challenge.”

and

“We have to thank Robbie to this point, because we’ve had some unbelievable offers for some of our players and as everyone knows, he’s a guy who is selling the club”.

Now, now Danny, let's not be sarcastic!

Listerning to you, anyone would think the people at the top of football only care about ££££

I'm a little puzzled that we are looking to loan a midfielder? What's happened to young Ronnie?

Can we just fast forward to the 3rd Feb please.

The real shame is that we had to sell him in the first place, just to help pay for the ‘white elephant’ . Let’s hope Lisbie doesn’t go the same way.

I'm just gobsmacked by this, I mean, why FFS?????

They struggle to get a crowd of 300, they get about an hour and a half of sunshine a year and the only time it stops raining is when it's going to snow.

Ya cannie understand half of what they say and their main rivals are a team called Hill of Beath Hawthorn FC. No, seriously, that's their bitter rivals!

If you were a yank with too much money, why wouldn't you buy a club:

a) nearer to home.

b) somewhere warmer

c) somewhere where they spoke English

d) somewhere where the prematch entertainment consisted of more than watching a dog take a dump in the centre circle.

In the US, college American Football gets crowds of +40,000, so what's the attraction of Kelty Hearts?

....and finally, why would you need a consortium to aford it? Have they each chipped in a fiver or have they paid through the nose for it (hopefully the latter)?

If there's any Americans reading that are desparate for a little slice of cute little Great Britland, I have some old bone china cups and saucers, pre-loved baked bean cans, and a roll of toilet paper that's only been used on one side, you can have the lot for £250,000. I'll even spend half an hour speaking Mockney to you, just for authenticity.

Did they think they were buying Hearts? I mean, why would you bother with the hassle?

Seriously, what the chuff is going on in the UK? Is there no one left in the country with a few quid? (Apart from betting firm owners). The vultures are down to the bones now.

The Russians have pulled the strings of leading Tories and Nigel Manfrog for years and we jump everytime America blinks, I guess it's only a matter of time before old jug ears turns up for trooping of the colour with a waistcoat stating 'Sponsored by Emirates'.

Not one of his best, but there should always be room for a little 'Bob'.

'A Complete Unknown' is another film well worth watching.

Let's hope it's got some legs. Those Brazilian lads are in for a treat when they see Essex girls! Far better than anything they see back home!

If RC is not content with the money that an Englishman can offer, and we have to be the play thing of a bunch of foreigners, I would much rather it be from an emerging country like Brazil, than a bunch of backstabbing US bastards that forget who their friends are.

Late for two world wars, they're hell bent on starting the next one.

"Maybe as a manager" doesn't sound to reassuring!

We've already got a good one of those and decent training facilities, we just need a bigger budget and someone who knows how to run a football club.

I see the tractor girls are violating the Community Stadium again today and (OK the spelling is wrong but…) I notice they have a player called J. Dear.

Here’s hoping they’ll sign a Mandy Fergusson and a Nancy Holland.
