    Why on Earth QPR decided to give Dyer a year long contract is beyond me. I would imagine it was for a pretty penny too. Anyone could have predicted what would happen, but maybe not as soon as it actually did. He's 'out for the season' again, by the way.

    How long did his QPR career last? 7 minutes of the opening game. And what did he get paid for the year long contract? Dunno, but more than most lottery jackpot winners would have been happy to receive.

    I can't understand it either, I sometimes think that managers are a bit daft cause it's somebody elses money and chairman just haven't got a clue about football. No wonder football is in such a state.

    Basically you've no idea what his contract terms are and no idea how much he is getting paid

    Nailed on contract clause that reduces his salary if crocked.

    But reduces to what? Still a kings ransom in our world. Why take a chance on a player who had his injury problems.

    Some clubs will think they can change it. They will think it's down to training methods, diets and those kind of things so have a thought they can change the habit of a lifetime. Players can be injury prone at a club, move places and every changes. Look at us with say Mcnulty. Many fans of Brighton probably expected him back on the shelf by now, but he's been in good nick form and fitness wise.

    Out of sheer boredom

    I am going to take up mugging.
    Its easy.
    Stand near a bank.
    Wait for someone to laugh their way to it.
    Steal their money.

    A simple, but brilliant, plan of genius.

    Ah- ha ... but what if he laughing all the way to the bank because his money has been transferred electronically ? I'd wait until he'd drawn money from the bank... hadn't thought of that eh laddie ?

    You speak in riddles.
    What is this electronic banking of which you speak?

    I use Dirk Hartogs corpse to store my cash.
    Its like a dirty old wrinkly manky clap riddled wallet.

    Yep, back down the club with his mates to spend his £30k-£40k-£50k-£who knows per week.

    To say that Kieran Dyer is a good reflection of what is wrong with football is an understatement. Bobby Robson realised he was out of touch when they had to turn the club coach round and travel 30 miles back to the team they had just played (Ipswich I think) because Dyer had left his very expensive earrings in the dressing room!

    I wonder what the sick pay policy is at a Premier League club these days. 4 weeks full pay then on to state benefits like many places? I would certainly imagine that Dyer's annual insurance premiums are more than most of us get paid. Do you think footballers have to fill in application forms like us, every time they get a new job. I bet Dyer sweats when he gets to the 'how many days sick have you had in the past two years' bit.

    Some clubs are just mugs for signing players who are already one step away from being retired on medical grounds...d'oh!

    Richard Kell (couldn't play in winter because the blu-tac holding his legs together used to freeze)
    Janne Salli ("Give him a medical, no, I'll take him on a session round tarn!")
    Marlon Beresford ("Don't let him bend over to pick the ball up")
    Kevin Donovan (his sole intention at Barnsley was to avoid getting that one last injury that would have ended his career)
    That lad from Leeds (I can't even remember his name!)

    There must be more.

    I think the only success we've had when taking on someone after a lengthy injury was Ian Evans.
