Matthew Lowton

[peter w]

Message to Mrs Lowton: Insist your husband demands a move back to Sheffield United. I'm sure the subsequent huge drop in salary from Premier League level to that of League One would be a small price to pay to have your Matty closer at hand. Alternatively, fucking move house to the Birmingham area. Your husband is on a million pound salary - you can afford it!

Perhaps a woman of (and I'm guessing) around 22 with her first pregnancy prefers to be near her parents than in a new city where she doesn't know many people, and her husband not only works but is busy every weekend?

Just a thought.

You come across as a very understanding man Matt, and your points are valid. However Mrs Lowton entered a relationship with a footballer. She, I assume, decided to have a child with a footballer. Footballers have always had to go to work at weekends. They also invariably change employer every few years. She should be very grateful her husband got a huge career move with the new employer being only 60 miles away.

Indeed. If it had have been atletico Madrid had have signed him I'm pretty sure she'd be chilling in Plaza Major and not stuck in Yorkshire.

Bowery's with them as well. It looks like they got freebies from Dafabet who are sponsoring the competition.

Do the Dutch even play snooker?  Vlaar must be bored to tears.

The only way you could get me to watch a game of snooker would be to kidnap my family and hold them hostage. Even then I'd have a good think about it

I've seen him at snooker before watching jimmy white at bedworth civic hall- seems to be a big fan.

[Duncan Shaw]

Any idea if the fact Dafabet sponsoring the snooker meant we sent players there officially as part of our deal, or whether they were just taking advantage of freebies?  Hope it doesn't make them late tomorrow!

Maybe Mrs Lowton might be happier if her husband packed up playing this nasty football malarkey and went to work driving a van, his employer might still not take kindly to him turning up late mind, and she might need to swap the Gucci bags for George at Asda ones, and no one would give fuck about her bleatings on Twitter. Still I'm sure it will  all be worth it.

TBF, if the M1 is closed/jammed then what's he supposed to do? I'm sure plenty of posters on here have set off to work to find their route buggered and all you can do is phone and give your apologies. It's a bit different to turning up late because he stayed in bed or simply couldn't be arsed.

The manager will probably point out that it wouldn't have happened if he lived down here. I know I would.

Live closer like the rest of the players, then he would have been on time like they were. 

You can't have one rule for one and one rule for the rest.

I just googled Vlaar snooker, and there's a lot of evidence that he's snooker nuts.

[PeterWithe]

Snooker loopy if you will.

[adrenachrome]

The Dutch are gagging for it.

Looks more like a court room trial than entertainment. All so bloody serious.
