WHILE THE REST of the United Kingdom waits with bated breath to see how the nation’s messy Brexit plans turn out, Cardiff City’s Neil Warnock has affirmed that he “cannot wait” to get out of the European Union.
“I think once the country knows what they’re doing, it will be straightforward [to make signings] … Any transfer window is difficult for me, not just this one,” he told reporters when asked if Brexit made it more difficult for Cardiff to work in the transfer market.
“I don’t know why politicians don’t do what the country wants, if I’m honest.
“They had a referendum and now we see different politicians and everyone else trying to put their foot in it … why did we have a referendum in the first bloody place?
“I can’t wait to get out of it, if I’m honest. I think we’ll be far better out of the bloody thing. In every aspect.
“Football-wise as well, absolutely. To hell with the rest of the world.”
Back in the world of football, the Championship was rocked by espionage and intrigue on Friday when it emerged that Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa had sent a ‘spy’ to observe the training sessions of rival Derby County.
The Rams’ manager, Frank Lampard, failed to see the funny side, but Warnock takes a more relaxed attitutde to the practice, which Bielsa insists is “normal”.
“Funny, weren’t it?” the veteran manager added.
“I mean [Bielsa] says they do it all over the world. Listen, I hope they come and watch us, it will confuse them. They are quite welcome to come and watch us train.”
Cardiff sit 17th in the Premier League table, just one point clear of the bottom three.
Up the rebel’s
Two teams who play good football, should be a good game and hopefully a Dublin win.
As a Kerryman…I look forward to this game.
Should be a cracker alright
Always baffle by these things.
What’s the difference between looking forward to a game & looking forward to a game as a Kerry man?
Who are our two main rivals in history….?
Out of interest, why are subs never mentioned for Dublin?
They’re never released. They’ll be seen for the 1st time in the match programme.
A match program which is all over twitter
Haven’t seen it. Who are the subs then? Dubmatchtracker doesn’t even have them.
Subs. Currie, Andrews, Brady, David Byrne, Costello, Daly, Devereux, Fitzsimons, Emmet, Philly Ryan and small. No McAuley(yet)
McAuley injured. Saw a FB post from the Galway challenge game, said himself he was injured
