Only On The Dark Side...

As much as I like to laugh at our neighbours I'm afraid I think the lad's been hard done by. The substance, ephedrine, which he claims was in a bottle of cough medicine, is present in many cold remedies as a decongestant. It is a slight derivative of amphetamine (speed) and has similar properties. These include appetite suppressant and concentration aid. Anecdotal evidence claims that ephidrine is a greater aid to concentration than caffeine. Its most common doping use is by bodybuilders before a workout for the increase in energy levels. However common side effects are an increased heart rate (so much so that all efforts at concentration would be useless), confusion, mania, hallucinations, paranoia, hostlity, agitation and panic. That's before you get on to the other potential medical implications (which can range from mild dizziness to pulmonary edema and collapse). Anyone would have to be mad to take such a drug to improve sporting performance. Sorry but I don't believe Paddy is mad, stupid or naive maybe but not mad. Isn't it more likely that he woke up with a cough or sore throat and decided to take some covonia or something?

haha, 3 serious posts followed by smiggy's "and on that bombshell" comment. Hilarious! Although he's a blade it does sound suspiciously harsh, it did raise an eyebrow when I read it.... or should that be raised a half-chewed eyebrow.

i thought ephidrine were herbal pills?(ecstacy), lol did wonder why he shifted all the weight so quick, who'd have thought we'd see the day Sheffield United cheat? Preston should sue it cost them promotion

Total agree skeggy with every word you've said, come on Preston its up to you to sue, £50m will about do it, well you piggy 8astards started it.

Folks, just removed one comment and edited another. We rarely do this but we've got to take into account the legalities of calling people cheats etc as nothing has been proved until the investigation results are done. Go easy on us, our hearts couldn't take the strain of legal action! What you THINK and what is FACT at the moment are two different things! Cheers folks.

no, you are typical cheating swines! get it right!

Admin please send me an explanation as to why my comment was edited. What I said wasnt libellous and I certainly didnt refer to him as a 'cheat'.

Well lads I think you’ve cracked it without knowing it, he took the pills because he caught swine flu down at pigsty lane lol.

skegg-pig - he's been found guilty of nothing yet. Buy the looks of things it is an innocent act meaning a fine for him and the club will most likely than not be the outcome. there are no signs of intent according to alot of facts stated. but all will be revealed soon. you lot want to calm down, mind you - you lot call only gloat and enjoy our bad outcomes - after all we are the city's 'BIG BROTHER'!! nothing is happening with your scrubby club and nothing ever will - keep on dreaming that one day you might just might be on an even keel as us!! muppets!!

I dont think Im being harsh at all. What I am saying is Paddy SHOULD have gone to the medical team at Bumhole Lane. IF they told him what to take then THEY are just as much to blame. If he didnt go to them then, like everyone is saying, he was very stupid indeed. Oh and PFL go and find someone that cares about what you say, you are becoming repetative and boring.

robc well said, glad to see someone had brains and can comment fairly for once. skeg-pig - get back in that dole queue that's a good little snout sniffler!!

robc are you a pig in disguise, cos i'm with skeggy on this one, one thing you never do as a wednesday fan is feel sorry for anybody who plays in a pig shirt, its only going to attrack scum like pig4life on this site, try putting the boot on the other foot, do you really think they'd feel sorry for us if was one of ours, they'd have him hung drawn and quartered by now.

if kenny is telling the truth he will be fine, if he's not then he's going to get stung big style which will probably end his career as he's already 31 now. the club had no option to suspend him as this is standard protocol with any employer pending investigations.

Well put robc. I agree with everything you said.

I like paddy think he should be back in irish team dont like some of the posts im reading hear lads even if some are jokes can we not wait till it is proved before haveing a go .. and im not trying to step on anyones toes here
