Rossiter Comes Out Swinging

Land Rovers Chairman Dean Rossiter today said the club had become embroiled in an argument over intellectual property rights with the Hurricanes, over the use of stories involving hand bags. “As can be clearly seen from our web site, Rovers came up with the story about swinging a handbag a good two days before the Hurricanes” said Rossiter “so we think the Hurricanes stole the idea from us and should be looking to compensate us with loads of cash”

Rovers manager Hall said his Mum was gutted by the whole experience. “She’s off to Portsmouth on Saturday and was looking to be signed as a bag swinging striker for Pompey” said Hall “and along comes Tana Umaga and steals the idea and uses it in the Jolly Poacher”. Hall said that Umaga had undermined the chances of his Mum signing for Portsmouth by hitting his own player. “The handbag was originally envisaged as an offensive weapon against the opposition defence” said Hall “but this hitting your own player stuff brings the art into disrepute”. Hall said that his Mum might still be signed by Pompey, but it was now looking like her Premier League career would be cut short before it had even started.
