Jeremy beagle Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 From the Scotsman, "DEREK Riordan was last night on the verge of a stunning career move after flying to China for talks with Super League outfit Shaanxi Chanba." The Chinese Rat Boy though is not sounding too sure, "I'm looking forward to possibly trying something different and we'll see how it goes before I decide what I'm going to do." 30k a week. Someone should tell poor Chanba about what they are letting themselves in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get hassled by people. "Being a Hibs fan I get Hearts fans coming up to me. Coming from Edinburgh doesn't help. It's the same for Celtic and Rangers players when they go out in Glasgow, they get it hard. "But for me I'm not allowed in nightclubs, basically. You still try and go into pubs or bars but they just give you an excuse and knock you back. There isn't anything you can do - and I get the blame for it. "I'm 28 and, like anybody at my age, I'd like to go out for a quiet pint now and again. "Whether you play football or do any other job, sometimes you want to go out at night for drinks. At the end of the day there are players who do a lot worse than me and don't get recognised. "That's part of my thinking with this move. It would be great to go somewhere no one knows me. I could maybe then go out in the town or city and do what I want. "Edinburgh is just a wee place and everybody knows everybody's business."

Tasavallan Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 30k a week. I thought china was still Communist? Looks like they've gone Capitalist if they are willing to pay the likes of Ratboy that sort of money. Just a joke, as Ratboy couldn't even handle a move along the M8 never mind a move half way across the world. Not as good as the money he is looking for. I still believe (like the Houston offer) that they are being spun by his agent to try and drum up interest nearer home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
