The build up to tonights game on SSN includes a trip to a pub in Featherstone where there's a guy with a ferret.

Just the sort of image the game needs.

Yeah I saw that too

I assumed that I'd accidentally tuned the TV to 1976, but then I realised I hadn't and thought WTF?

Was was that bloke thinking?

There's nothing wrong in having a ferret as a pet, but who takes it to the pub

not ashamed to say it, but me n our maud take our 4 ferrets to mesnes park and haigh hall and i can honestly say people love seeing them and due to people (mostly kids) wanting to stroke them and look at them and frequently have their pictures taken with them
does that make me a wierdo cos if it does thereare lots of people out there who do the same, although i have never taken any of my ferrets in to a pub

No but it doesnt help break down stereotypes.

Be great if he lived on a cobbled street and smoked woodbines too.

Didn't see it, but was he wearing a flat cap and also suffering from rickets?

they had to use the man with the ferret because the man with the whippet was still at work down the mines

Nothing wrong with ferrets as pets but we will always carry the flat cap and whippet stereotype as this type of interview is broadcast.

At least it shows Fev fans are up ferret.

the flatcappers, that's the reason why.

The name was actually an insult to start with, Cas fans used to call us it. Our original nickname was "The Colliers".

Once the pits closed this didn't apply anymore, so we took ownership of the Cas insult and made it our own, rather like we'll be doing with their license in a couple of years time

Ah didn't know that mate, thanks for the info.

Weasel see won't we?

I mink so aye.

You otter be careful making predictions like that

You've missed the stoat on this one.

I think you're cap's too tight mate.

Id be more worried about the ferrett supping me under the table live on TV than anything
