Wonder why the bookies have James Beattie as the second favourite for the Blackpool managers job. Bearing in mind the last time he came to Bloomfield Road he was Royally boo'ed and is seen as one of the reasons why we lost our place at the Prem, he'd be about as welcome as KOKO would at Raggy's wedding! |  |

Was just reading up on Beattie's time with us . anyone remember this story and what happened?
James Beattie: I will save the day for Blackpool... by donning the goalkeeping gloves
Ian Holloway claims it would be 'an absolute joke' if the Premier League refuse Blackpool permission to sign an emergency goalkeeper and avoid the possibility of striker James Beattie wearing the gloves against Aston Villa tomorrow.
Blackpool appealed to the League yesterday after Paul Rachubka damaged the cartilage in his right knee during training. Matt Gilks is still six weeks away from returning after breaking his kneecap in November, meaning the club's only available keeper is Richard Kingson, who has also been injured recently.
Holloway is now relying on a favour from the same Premier League bosses he criticised for fining his club £25,000 after he fielded a weakened team when Blackpool last played Villa in November.
He said: 'Hopefully we'll get a sub goalie, otherwise at this level it will be an absolute joke. I'm sure the other managers will understand.'
If permission is refused, former Manchester United keeper Roy Carroll - a free agent after leaving Danish side Odense - is a potential option. Or Beattie could take over if Kingson is injured again. | |

For reference we drew 1-1 with Kingson in goal and they had a man sent off on 70 mins - if you want to remind yourself why Ollie would be great to come back just watch his 4 mins video on this page - stirring stuff!
