    Once again we selectively believe the media when it suits us. This'll be the media which you slaughter for being full of *. The media which you think WGS is correct to treat with contempt.

    We don't know if he is banned from every club in Edinburgh (I am quite sure that Riordan could get a drink in an Edinburgh nightclub if he really wanted), and we don't know (my original point) what happened behind the scenes between him and WGS. It could be Riordan's fault, it could be WGS's fault, it could be a bit of both. But you choose to believe that it's all Riordan's fault when in reality we don't know.

    I must say Martin, I'm usually in awe of your ability to argue your way out of ANY thread but the past week you've pretty much tied yourself in knots in every debate you've put yourself into.

    He's banned from every nightclub in Edinburgh, don't give me any bullshit about not believing the media or anything like that. Will I go hunt for a BBC link just so I can prove it is unbiased? or will you just simply hold your hands up and admit being a smart * has just bit you on the backside?

    I would take Strachans side over Riordon anyday of the week, i saw him in a club just before he signed for celtic, he was a joke, think its the people he keeps company with when out is also the problem.

    Who cares about Riordon anyway. done nothing since going back to hibs.

    It is one thing to be critical of the media, especially when their reports are based primarily on opinion. But I believe the nightclub ban is more a statement of fact as widely reported by several media sources.

    The nightclub ban was imposed by a court and therefore freely available to the media.

    The speculation in the media about Gravesens wages in the tabloids is just that - speculation.

    Mix the 2 at your own peril :50:

    Presumably because they don't read them. Doesn't detract from the fact that it's FAR from a revelation, and does not require anyone to be "in the know" to find out.

    This whole thing has been blown out of proportion. He was signed as a player who would take a while before he would get his first-team chance and the only reason he hasn't yet is because he was injured. If he wasn't he would of been in for the Falkirk game instead of Koki

    riordan,ned and a lazy sh*te,not interested in training and never took his chance when given it,and strachan had no reason to drop someone for a waster.strachan is the boss end of story for me,mccourt,possibly not good enough,not his fault.dont want someone in the team because he is irish,dont care were the players are from as long as they can play and contribute to the cause

    What's Martin been banned for? Christ, when he's sniffing around you're guaranteed at least five pages.

    He's been signed in the hope that full time training from top coaches will make him a better player. Maybe it's not working out as planned and that's why we've not seen him.

    Either way, he's not getting a game for a reason.
