    I wonder if he'll do his Clough impression.

    (He will do his Clough impression.)

    Not the podcast in question but I'd not heard this anecdote before.

    I think that's the same interview where he did an extended bit on Justin Fashanu's departure. Which happened in 1982, when Norm was 13.

    He's definitely from the old 'after dinner' tradition of fitting new names to old anecdotes.

    Wilson signed a year before Norm as well, so yep.

    True, but Wilson could have told him this was how the contract talks played out. Nobody listening would expect that Crossley was in the room at the time.

    Or it could be a load of recycled bollocks for the podcast circuit. Remains an amusing yarn - probably for me because of Crossley's north-east Yorkshire accent being on-point as ever.

    I'm sure there's an element of truth and it's dressed up admirably with Norm's ability to enhance the story and, as you say, his spot on Clough.

    This has to be lost in translation between Yuri and the Rovers media team...
    “I was here three years ago and I remember telling my friends and family that I’d like to come back one day at a club like Rovers."

    Aaron Donnelly has had an interesting start to his (second) Dundee career...
    D1-1 with Rangers, D3-3 (and scored) with Celtic and then beat Dundee United 1-0 in the Scottish FA Cup.
    They've then lost the last two games 6-0.

    I'm a better person now. Now that I've been caught, that is. Wasn't it always thus?

    I met JJ once (after he'd stopped playing) in a professional capacity and he was a bit of a prick.

    That's all I've got.

    Like I said at the time.. we (well, the media and wotnot) not to stop indulging these twats who need six months therapy and reflection to figure out that you shouldn’t send pictures of your cock to people who haven’t asked for them.

    Are we really so short of people wanting to get paid to talk about football that he needs another gig? About time it’s ’one and done’ on shit like that. Go get a job mopping floors after hours at Ingo-corp, if you can convince him to let a wrong-un in.

    Turned on the Birmingham v Newcastle game and discovered that Kieran Dowell plays for Birmingham - on loan from Rangers.

    Tomoki Iwata (on loan from Celtic) has just scored an absolute ripper to level it up at 2-2 just before half-time. Decent game.
