You mean shamed because they shop in ASDA right ?

Technically they don't shop at all. As no money has exchanged hands it's classed as stealing

Scan or no scan, he clearly aint gonna be match fit to play anyway, especially at Wembley with a larger pitch, but then the only option is Straker in which case id much rather see a streaker play left back :winking:

Reminds me of an old sketch in Not The Nine O'Clock News.....very hazy but Rowan Atkinson (or maybe Mel Smith..it was years ago) is in a supermarket shoplifting...he slides something up his coat and sneaks off towards the door, then sees the same product on special offer by the door so takes original from his coat and replaces with the cheaper one.

I thought it was funny anyway :dim:
