a fairly soulless publicity stunt that overshadowed the evening a bit
some of the reaction today though? Po-faced, to say the least

He's a 45 year old backup keeper playing in the national league. He probably made more last night from the sun paying him to do it than playing for years for them. As well as the publicity today as well.
He made his team look like a bunch of twats and the whole league look like you just have to turn up to play in it. It's not a pub league on a Sunday, people work hard to get to that level.

Only thing missing was the Wealdstone raider. Has he retired now?

How has it damaged the image of the league or the team?
He's a 46 year old 23 stone bloke. Who's looking at him thinking he's an inspirational figure for football youngsters? Sutton have continued to employ him despite his obvious flaws for however long he's been there. They haven't had an image concern about it, at least enough to part ways.
Sunbets mocked him by putting a "Will the fatty eat a pie?" market. He called their bluff. Whether it's coordinated, whether he's made money from it or whether they've laid out 5 figures, making it out that it's somehow damaged the image of anything is absurd.
Team looked fit, sharp and well organised yesterday. He probably took some notes about how to drift along and make a fortune from the away dressing room.

And all anyone today has talked about is a fat bloke eating a pie. Hardly a mention of an admirable performance from the team. There's lads who train hard to get to national league level. The majority of the country now thinks that you just have to turn up and you're in a team, and that eating pies on the bench is fine. (Well maybe not that last bit because he's not a keeper any more...) Fair point that they continued to employ him so he obviously did something for the team, but it's made them all look like a pub team

Can you imagine the response if you called them up and wanted £500 on the pie-prop?
Five-figure sum my arse.

so we know know the answer to the much asked from the terraces, "wayne shaw ate all the pies"

If anyone was open to the suggestion that the 45 year old 23 stone backup keepers eating habits in the last 10 minutes when all the subs have been used as a barometer for athletic ability then they didn't have a clue before and they don't have a clue now. I don't really see the problem.

It gave me some amusement, not as much as the BBC team mind - they fair wet their pants. That amused me too.

That's the annoying thing, the fat bloke is being made out to be the news in all this with the gambling commission investigating betting irregularities - what about some shite newspaper's bookmakers offering odds on the fat bloke eating a pie during the match? They should be investigated.
I'm guessing the big guy knew what he was doing and whilst it's "all a laugh" it's a sad way to bow out of your footballing career.
