Hope he resists it,but I think he is nailedon to be courted by the russian in the summer.
"A process has been agreed with a long-standing supplier and there are costs associated with the staff provided to safely manage the activity."
God forbid the activity of displaying a flag should be carried out in an unsafe manner! What is this country coming to?
Exactly. I know from getting (slightly) involved with flags at Sunderland games that the flags have to meet various health and safety standards (and fair enough I suppose, it'd be ironic if a flag for those who died in the Bradford fire was unsafe and went up in flames, however unlikely it is) but once the flag has been made and someone has looked at it and said "yep, that's fine" then there's really very little that can go wrong. You unfurl the flag and pass it across the stand. If you want it on the pitch you get 8 people to walk about with it, they hardly need a PhD to be able to carry a flag. Sometimes I think this country is going utterly mental.

Wonder if he's free from May 2014
Laudrup has already been linked strongly with Real Madrid, I think he'll be there sooner rather than later
"...staff provided to safely manage the activity."
Dear Christ, I thought Oireland had gone mental with the fucking health and safety bollocks but that is fucking hilarious for all the wrong reasons.
"Ok people, let's get this flag unfurled in a safe manner now. Timothy! For fucks sake wait for it!! That flappy bit could chaff someone's hand!!!"
Anygee, the game was disapointing but fair play to Bradford getting that far. SlyNews did their usual make a huge story out of nothing last night, showing Dyer arguing with De Guzman over the penno and then not celebrating with his team mates after De Guzman scored. Of course they "forgot" to show Dyer going over and hugging De Guzman oh about 30 seconds later. Fucking shit news channel.
BRADFORD City celebrated its 5-0 thrashing yesterday by comparing its season to Arsenal’s.
As the Yorkshire club was battered like its supporter’s average dinner, the players reflected on the fact that at least none of them were or ever will be Gervinho.
Manager Phil Parkinson said: “Even as the fifth goal whizzed past our keeper I turned to my assistant and said ‘Piers Morgan doesn’t support us. Never forget that’.
“The supporters we do have were actually audible, didn’t need prostitution to afford their season ticket and were sat at Wembley watching their side compete, to some degree, in a cup final.”
Bradford fans will spend the rest of the season not watching their ex-players win league and European titles, although they conceded they do still have George Galloway as their MP.
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers told Swansea fans they are very welcome for their victory after taking all the credit for it.
Speaking in front of a large whiteboard filled with incomprehensible quadratic equations, the Liverpool manager credited his mastery of Chaos Theory for each of Swansea’s five goals.
Rodgers said: “The ink I used in my resignation from Swansea was made by the left bladder of the male Two-Spot octopus.
“The eddies of causality this sent out into the universe ensured a Swansea victory just as surely as a butterfly beating its wings in China is the reason Joe Allen can’t currently pass for shit.”
