    Pagan, my thinking was that Shaw could still have come on during the game – wasn’t aware that was the case mate with the 3 subs already been used.

    Maybe I’m in exaggeration thinking of this as some kind of a rule which I don’t believe there isn’t but more of good practice and regime, my belief is that you’d only be refuelling/hydrading yourself with water or like an isotonik drink.

    I know at half-time, you can have like a piece of fruit, and I know in the past some have had Jaffa Cakes, but what I’m saying is that it’s all down to a carefully planned regime.

    So ideally, Shaw could have had the Pasty/Pie as a ‘pre-match’ meal rather than during the game. Even if he wasn’t ultimately going to get on the pitch, his actions took the gloss of the rest of the other fellas putting in a great effort.

    On the bet in inself, that was just pure silliness that allowed itself to get out of hand.

    S7, lets face it, this was the goalkeeper coach of a semi pro club, who was also named as the keeper sub as there probably wasn’t anyone else.
    Given the recent controversy surrounding football and the FA, the speed in which they started an investigation is bordering on farcical.
    As for taking the gloss off it, if the “easily offended” brigade got themselves a sense of humour and stopped being outraged for the rest of us who actually have one, no one would have batted an eye lid. We just need a pathetic apology from the BBC for broadcasting such abhorrent images and a helpline number for anyone affected by it to top it off….Pagan

    Pagan, totally with you in the second part of you post mate.

    The angle I was coming from related to the timing and approach. If shaw had got himself dressed (knowing he wasn’t going to get a run out) and started chewing away at the Pasty, then I don’t think such fuss would have been made (I’m not even taking the bet into consideration). At least from a visible point of view, people would assume he himself is done for the day and ready to wind down.

    As it happens, the moment saw him with a kit with is totally at the level of a kickabout with your mates. Why I’ve reasonated with the figure of speech in ‘taking the gloss off’ is because that moment (in my view) brought right back the perception of Sutton United – ‘pub team’ and all the other lark coming with it.

    Even from a natural David-Goliath, Sutton deserved the credit in the account put up from them plus above all, for a non-league outfit, they’ve reached even further than Liverpool. My own thinking is that the focus of merit has otherwise switched to a moment of Wayne Shaw and eating a Pie/Pasty (whatever it was) during the game (reason why I’ve highlighted this in bold and why it’s caused a frenzy).

    In context, it’s refreshing to see the minnows and generally teams outside the Prem excel and be given (by rights) the recognition and the media coverage.

    Cheers

    Sutton could have done with Shaw today as their only other goalkeeper got injured after 16 mins and they had to put an outfield player in goal.

    Alfie haha, you just knew something like that would happen 🙂 – saw that on the BBC Red button earlier this afternoon.

    They managed to get over the finishing line, though can’t see Shaw being reinstated sadly.

    Cheers
