    What would the consequences be for getting caught?
    Probably lose your job and get deported, could also be jailed/get lashes.

    I’m not a lager drinker, but I remember it was really popular and a ‘go to’ for a lot of folk. It’s maybe a ‘fashion’ thing now to not like it, even although it’s still a good lager. A bit like the trend to like Chardonnay wine till it went out of fashion. It’s still a good wine and underrated because of trends. I prefer Sauvignon Blanc, but really enjoy a Chardonnay on the odd occasion.

    Chardonnay drinker here and have been for years but I must say that Sauvignon Blanc is growing on me. I did have a beer at a BBQ last week and immediately remembered why I don't like the stuff lol....

    For westerners it's normally deportation, if Asian there will probably be lashing first.

    Buy 24 cans of non alcoholic beer.
    Put 20 cans into large demi john/container.
    Put remaining cans plus 2 kilos of sugar in a pot and heat till sugar dissolves.
    Pour into container with the 20 cans and add 2 teaspoons of yeast (bakers yeast sold everywhere)
    2 weeks later siphon out your beer, leaving the dregs.
    Everybody in Saudi can have a beer, it's alarmingly simple.
    You get well paid to counteract the boredom of the place, thousands of folk manage it and I imagine Martin will manage just fine, with or without the beer.
    Bakers yeast dies at 3% alcohol. That's why the guy I knew got deported for trying to bring in brewers yeast. Unless you like drinking kestrel lager
    Also you can't buy no alcoholic lager there, as all non alcoholic lager has a slight amount of alcohol in it.

    Loads of people work away from their families eg the rigs or army.

    Difference is with his money he'll be able to fly back regularly and Rachel puts on social media her going over regularly.

    The biggest difference is, him working there for a couple of years means him and his family won't have to work after football. He'll spend as much time as he wants after that. All of us would do it if we had the chance, good luck to him.
    We wouldn't, and much better players than MB were able to avoid the temptation.

    Is it not the case that returning to the UK beyond a set number of days, will trigger UK tax implications?

    Yes that is the case. He can spend so many days a year. 90 days maximum or 30 work days maximum.

    Easy to say you'd turn down going from a few grand to 20 grand when it isn't a real option. The better players probably had big money offers in other nations. No shortage of sportsmen have performed in the middle east

    Not point in getting a big contract if they aren’t going to pay you, Martin! Come on home!

    I think they actually do

    "Demoted"
    Expungulated mate, I'm sure that's what Mrs doctor Budge's estate agent adviser told her had happened as a result of finishing in the relegation slot when the season ended.

    Hearts league reconstruction campaign has gone *strangely* quiet.

    I thought it was for the good of the game?

    They should really have folk questioning Budgie on that in the media

    Made an absolute farce of our league for a couple of months, made it look highly unprofessional and tried to force through a chance that would have been to the detriment of our league for years to come purely so they could avoid relegation because they couldn’t take it.

    An Aberdeen supporting friend of mine texted me to say he was sat next to Boyle at their game today. Asked him why he wasn't over in Saudi and MB replied saying things were complicated... Make of that what you will.

    Also mentioned that Boyler was at the game with Charles Dunne, the st mirren centre half, which slightly surprised me. Couldn't think what the connection between those might be?

    You’d have thought he’s maybe up seeing family, as I think the season has finished in Saudi?
    Aberdeen had an interest in Dunne, but he played for Saints yesterday

    Their season finished weeks ago, he’s been on holiday with his family. Seems weird he’d not say that and instead leave it all cryptic perfect for fan speculation….

    Boyle was at our game against Morton too. Seems to be over here and taking in a few matches at the same time? Intriguing 🤔

    He’ll be heading over again soon then, unless he’s not been paid in full

    Perhaps just a polite way of saying none of your business
