The BBC Gets a Bit Confused – Again

According to several sources, Bolton`s young defender Mark Connolly will be joining St Johnstone on loan for the rest of the season.

One of those sources is the BBC and as frequently happens, they`re not quite on the button.

‘The 18-year-old Irishman, who moved from Wolves to West Brom for £1m – could make his Saints debut against Rangers on Wednesday,` writes some unnamed scribe.

Ok, we get the Bolton, Wolves, St Johnstone and Rangers bits, but where do West Brom come into this?

The Beeb mixes up Bolton and Blackburn sometimes (it`s the Fat Sam connection) and up until recently they had someone called Ian Nolan playing for the Whites. This only stopped when ‘Ian` moved to Newcastle United.

But this is a new one. If anyone can suggest a link between Bolton and West Brom, however tenuous, please go ahead.

Oh, and best regards to turfmanphil, our pet Burnley supporter. We hope you`re soon feeling better.
