While waiting for belated confirmation and comment from the official SAFC site – imminent surely – on our capture of Craig Gordon, and indeed while clinging to the hope that more news on the transfer front still lies between now and 12.45pm on Saturday, the temptation to add two more pictures from the Irish tour was irresistible.
And if you are thinking to yourself, “but I see four photographs”, you are right. There is a very good reason for the third and fourth, which I’ll come to in a second.
First things first. Pete Horan, who guided Salut! Sunderland‘s Pete Sixsmith around Ireland sent me an e-mail attaching, as he puts it, “a photo of two dummies” whereas I swear I can count four.
“The photo was taken at Galway Races on Tuesday evening where Sixer’s proven system was to put all of our money on the first race which had a runner called Mr Bones,” Pete (H) reports. “Unfortunately, Mr Bones was as slow as the ‘Flying Pig’ himself, to be sure. I took over betting responsibility after that and we made a modest recovery.”
Both Petes, and a third SAFC follower, can also be seen at the Cliffs of Moher. Look closely, says Pete (H), and you can just about make out Craggy Island in the background.
