Reminds of the story Tony Jacklin told I think when Peter Oosterhuis asked him for assistance in reading the line of a putt during a Ryder Cup game and when Jacklin leaned down behind him Oosterhuis pointed out some blonde in the gallery

Barnes joined Rovers after leaving his post as manager of Jamaica in July

Tranmere have terminated the contracts of manager John Barnes and assistant boss Jason McAteer after a run of just two league wins from 11 matches.

The club are 22nd in League One and were knocked out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Tuesday in Barnes' last match in charge.

John Barnes is a bombscare of a manager, he was absolutely atrocious at Celtic.
McAteer should have avoided working with him, tough lesson.

Ooooohhhh . . . Digger was as class an act as I've ever seen on a soccer pitch. But I still laughed. Sorry, John.

Ur ok, Bruce Forsythe would probably say something like sure we always called 'em that in the good old days & it was all good craic.

As a Tranmere supporter....Thank god those fools are gone. Dumb and Dumber they have been known as. John Barnes would be lynched if he ever showed his face around Glasgow and i say it's going to be the same around Birkenhead....

What did Trigger say....the page "doesnt exist" apparently

Jason McAteer's nickname before he went to Liverpool football club was 'Trigger' - after the Only Fools And Horses character because Jason isn't very bright. However at Liverpool they give the least bright person in the team the nickname 'Trigger' and the person who had that name when McAteer arrived was Rob Jones. So after a short while at Anfield the players found out what Jason was like and decided to give him the nickname of 'Double Trigger'



There are a couple of stories about Jason McAteer's exploits. Apparently Jason was in a Dublin nightclub and saw Jimmy White and decided to say hello by yelling a catchphrase that Jimmy would instantly recognize and so Jason yelled out the cry of - 'One hundred and eighty'



Another rumour is that Jason was filling out a credit card application and is confused as to what to put in the space marked 'Position In Company' his source of confusion is revealed when he says to a Liverpool team mate - 'I'm a central midfielder but the boss is playing me at right wing back'



Another story has Alan Thompson an ex-Bolton team mate of Jason asking Jason to - 'pass the tomato ketchup' and the answer Alan gets back from Jason is - 'Red or brown'

talk about lifting the spirits

There's another story does the rounds of Limerick whereby he was down at a training camp in UL before one of the world cups. Went into a pizza joint and asked for a medium pepperoni or whatever. The waitress asked him would he like it cut into 4 or 8 slices, and he said 'Ooh, better make it 4 love, I don't think I'm hungry enough for 8'

McAteer is good craic.
