Academy Shenanigans

[Blade58]

I've heard a little snippet that something went off at the academy yesterday and wondered if anyone else has heard anything?

Apparently someone placed high up was marched off the premises but don't know who.

The source is very reliable.

Anyone?

 

[Bladesman]

McCabe?

 

[s4-blade]

I suspect Ball_Sup (Phil) would be the most likely to know if anything happened.

 

[Barney]

Top of the league, flying high. Always something to rock the boat isn't there.

 

[Superblades]

Without naming your source, you going to share the rumour?

 

[ThatJa]

Is this the spanner that helps take the wheel off the cart?

 

[Ball_Sup (Phil)]

All sweetness & light away at Bolton's Academy this am. With lots of key personnel in attendance. I'll tell you what. If the OP names names I'll say whether he/she was present at Bolton.

Otherwise, I know far more about this Cloudwater IPL Vic Secret, Comet at 6.2% on keg that I'm ploughing thru.

Carr to explain how this actually rocks any type of boat?

Don't over dramatise a poxy academy rumour ffs

As I said in my op, I don't know who.
The person who told me didn't know who, or decided not to say, only that something had gone off.

He's right though. Always something.

And as for over dramatising, wasn't it you that posted the OP?

 

[nopigfansintown]

Heard nothing.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

McCabe took the piss out of Knill's blue suit.
Knill decked him.

Yes it was Swiss,but I take exception to a post that came across as if it was having a go at me rather than the actual content. If I misconstrued Barneys post then I apologise.

Something happened don't know what and this came from the same source as to thread I stuck up way before the official announcement that Nick Cox had left academy for Man U

If this rumour turns out to be bollox then fair enough again I apologise, but then that's why I put it on the rumour board. What I don't like is clever arse replies as if it's some type of shit stirring post. I don't work like that.

[The_Green_Man]

There has been a few swaps and changes in the Academy recently and an advertisement went out for a new head of academy recruitment etc.

But I reckon this is a nowt story.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Maybe it's catching, sounds very similar to a story on Porktalk.
David Hirst apparently told to leave their academy after some kind of bust up about his son. Apparently Premiership clubs(Everton being one) are sniffing round young Hirst.
All rumours on Porktalk.

Kudos for posting it in the correct section, but what is the point in posting it at all?

But posts like the op will attract criticism. I'm not saying you are guilty of this Blade58 so don't take it the wrong way but too many post bullshit attention seeking shit in this section that all posts genuine or otherwise are questioned or taken with a pinch of salt. Take it on the chin it's only a forum.

Only to ask the question if anyone else had heard anything hence the last word in my op

I didn't have any details names etc. I'm in Dublin on a jolly boys outing

 

[Dkc]

McCabe showed up like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? He wanted to grab half the academy kids and flog them to Man U to fund his evil property empire?

Binnion, Geary, Annerson, Wadsworth, Me, Mrs Ball_Sup & four Carrier Bag Firm big hitters - all spotted at Bolton U18 away yesterday. So, if we've had a bust up, no one has told us.

Nice blog as always pal, is Cloudberry the brewery that have said they won't make cask anymore, only keg? I am sure I read a few disgruntled drinkers complain that the reason is because they charge more for keg?

Cloudwater have gone Keg only. Like Camden & Brewdog before them. I love cask ales & I love keg ales. I think there is a place for them both. I'm a CAMRA Member & a Brewdog Equity shareholder. I have the opportunity to travel a lot. And, I'm never happier than when I'm supping & ticking local, independent Craft Keg Beers. It is very rare to get cask conditioned beers outside the UK. Point being - I've supped a lot of keg beers in my time & they hold no fear for me. My favourite beer style (currently) would be a 7+% double or imperial IPA - intense tobacco/ginger bitterness, rather than citrus - red rather than yellow. Those are in my opinion far more suited to keg than cask. Chilled, fresh, effervescent. I'm drooling now.

I don't really know about price. Because it's not like with like is it. You're gonna get "twice as pissed" on a pint of 7.6% goo than a pint of 3.8% session wallop. My system is Little & Often. I used to be an ALECART. I still have mates who are ALECARTS. All hail ALECARTS. I'm not one. Because I don't have mammoth Gallon sessions any more, I'll be honest, I don't notice price as much. If I'm only having three. And, the IPAs, etc are lighting up. Three Dart Finish abvs. Then I pay what it is - and I don't think "oohh that's steep for a pint". Might as well be honest....

I can understand why a few disgruntled drinkers complain that keg is pricier. But, Cloudwater, etc don't go Keg to make more money. Tomorrow is Monday. At your Wetherspoons of choice, a pint of cask will be (say) £2.35 on the clip. Reduced to (say) £1.99 as it's Monday Club. I'll use my CAMRA 50p voucher & get it for £1.49. Room for us all....

Don't mind Keg at all, although I still sometimes find it a bit "fizzy", depending on what I am drinking. Had a pint of Rednik stout on keg last night, after two pints of cask, and it was nice, but tasted cold and slightly fizzy. Anyway, as you say, room for all of us.

That's actually true. The Hirsts demanded a big money contract due to George playing for England, and his apparent amazing talent (of which no one seems to see). Tuna man, i suspect rather more eloquently, told them to fuck off and that the lad would never play for the first team. Sad when I'm more "in the know" (hate that phrase) when it comes to the pork than ourselves.

Absolutely no idea Sheffielder

I was sat in a boozer in Dublin when told, but unfortunately all that was said was in my op which I admit wasn't very much
