It turns out that Rammell had the snip last week and still managed to put in a performance like that at Luton. Perhaps, with the swelling that (apparently) goes with this op, we should refer to him as Big Andy from now. Neil Pointon lost his father during last week and not only played on Saturday but was man of the match. This is a credit to both of them as professional footballers. Being at Walsall is obviously a step backwards on the career path for both of them but for both to turn out in such circumstances says a hell of a lot about the pair of them. Indeed, if only there were more of them.
It looks as if they’re going to throw the book at ref pusher Paulo Di Canio. But will it be the jottings of Hoddle, Adams or Doug Ellis? Maybe they could throw Paul Dirkin’s notebook at Paulo and see if he needs to take take thirty seven paces backwards before doing a Klinsmann. I reckon Dirkin lost balance after having the chip on his shoulder dislodged. Nob.
