Bristol Rob Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Jailed for 10 weeks for failing to provide a specimen of breath. Maybe he'll use this time to work on a new 'after dinner' routine, rather than the entirely fictional account of when Brian Clough apparently tried to sign him, which turns in to 15 minute routine that seemingly mocks an addict.

Does not sound to me that he's mocking him. Sounds like he's merely telling a funny story. I do think he's a bit of a c**k tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Clough was a larger than life eccentric with a drink problem who despite all that achieved miracles at, not one , but two unfashionable provincial clubs . He deserves more respect from a bloke who isn’t fit to tie the great man’s bootlaces . His story makes BC out to be a complete clown and a fool and he only uses it because people are still interested in the legend that was Cloughie years after his death. I don’t find the story funny at all and I’m sure that if BC were alive today then he wouldn’t dare tell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing funny about it regardless: Dean Saunders and Brian Clough – a story that went viral but doesn’t finish there https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/sep/07/brian-clough-dean-saunders-nottingham-forest?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I see he tried the same defence as that Homes under the Hammer bloke (no, not Dion Dublin): I have asthma so can't blow into the machine and the medication affects my blood sample.

1960maaan Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 There are few things that get me to turn off, turn over. Love Island , Eastenders , Britains got talent or similar, and Dean ****** Saunders. Annoying, odious man, doesn't surprise me he did this.

That’s why I’m not being a judgemental bastard The key element is that the person he ridicules is no longer here to defend himself and even if it were true it is no different to poking fun at disabled people. Alcoholism is an illness. I am being a judgmental bastard because I find it highly distasteful. There are hundreds of ‘ funny ‘ stories told about BC , this one is excruciatingly painful . Still I suppose when Saunders is released from his cell he can go back to organising trips to Bedlam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Awful pundit and manager - was a good player though. He failed to take a breath test 3 times and even pleaded not guilty after until today court date. He deserves his jail time. Everyone makes mistakes but this is a serious one which he has shown no remorse and is even now trying to get his sentences reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
