It was just SO contrived for the cameras, the way he stepped forward out of the dugout to cram that thing into his gaping maw, to make sure everyone could see. At first I just assumed it was to show what a hilarious "character" he is, so he could get on a Football Focus montage or something. But to hear it was just so he could cash in at 8/1 with some piece of filth rag and its betting subsidiary ? Magic of the Cup eh.
I wish that fat prick had CHOKED on it.
Ha...but he's a "character". You can't kill off a character.
What's also quite distasteful (excuse) is that the tv production would probably have been in on it all as well. It hardly looked like a pie yet lo and behold the media all knew what was going on before anyone else could register he had anything in his hand. That bet thing is disgusting.
Also, how about that emotional pitch invasion of pride. Again, the commentary team knew about it when it seemed like that was probably the least appropriate thing to do after losing 0-2...it's almost as if they were all encouraged at the final whistle by pa's and runners to suggest the cup has some magic and that they're real fans. "Hey idiots, please run on the pitch now..." Even more confusing when, if we have a solitary pitch invader the cameras don't show so as to dissuade anyone else, but when there's a few hundred of them they'll film that all night, as long as the TV decides when it goes to script. Not nice pitch invaders either. The type of people that act like they've never seen a camera before yet also feel compelled to swear at it. You know, I really questioned whether any of them had been to a Sutton match before...
