    Fans brand Scottish football stadium’s snack a ‘WAR CRIME’ and crown it the ‘most depressed burger ever’

    FOOTBALL fans have been left in a pickle at the state of Dundee United’s burger served at Tannadice.As the Scottish football season kicked off in earnest yesterday, it meant the first visit to a stadium for months for many punters.
    This burger felt the ire of football fans on social media
    And if you were at Tannadice this weekend for Dundee United against Arbroath, you’d have been in for a not-so-tasty treat if you felt peckish at half-time.
    The stadium’s burger offering has been laid into on social media after it was shared on the ‘Footy Scran’ Twitter page.
    Among other things, it’s been likened to a digestive biscuit, called out for not being cooked, and even branded so bad it’s akin to a war crime.
    Supporters from across the country raced to comment on the fare after a picture of it was posted on Twitter.

    One fan from England said: “How did the country that fries literally everything manage to produce a burger that looks like it was boiled in bog water.”
    In a similar vein, this punter said: “Good news: you can now buy food in Scotland that isn’t deep fried. Bad news: it’s this absolute war crime.”
    Another asked: “Do you have to pay extra for them to actually cook your burgers at Dundee?”
    Before a third joked: “Did it walk off and head back to the farm at full time?”

    The comparisons for the snack, which costs a heft £4.50, weren’t favourable in the slightest.
    One commented: “McVitie’s digestive in a bap.”
    Another observed: “Looks like a raw Rustler’s burger.”
    “Is that… still frozen?” asked another fan.
    It was then described as the “most depressed burger ever.”
    Another said simply: “That looks proper vile.”
    Then came this verdict: “That’s a crime against humanity.”
    Another fan described it as a “plastic bath mat” while one likened it to a beer coaster.
    One punter went fully against the grain, and in fact said that with a few simple toppings added, he’d happily order it.
    “Put some lettuce, tomato, pickle, peppers and onion on it and I actually would go for it… plain though is just very not scran,” he said.
    It’s not the first Scottish football food item to cause a stir in the last week either.

    All 20 drivers were invited to come along after qualifying on Saturday at Silverstone.
    Horner shares TWO stunning country homes with wife, Spice Girl Geri, in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire with both less than an hour away from the iconic British race track.
    The former property is, perhaps, the most lavish and most shared online – boasting its very own duck pond, which they use for boating.
    Their farm also houses three miniature donkeys, horses and goats in the estate’s stables.

    And it’s the property in Oxfordshire that gets the most love from Geri, 50, on Instagram, who regularly shares candid snaps of her family life.
    It remains unclear which drivers accepted his invitation, although Red Bull duo Verstappen and Sergio Perez are both likely to have attended.
    But Horner revealed that a number of their rivals opted to stay away despite him insisting that everybody was welcome.
    When asked if he was joined by all 20 drivers, Horner replied: “No, no, about half the grid.”

    That did not stop Horner from taking the role of head chef, but cheeky fans soon mocked him for cooking up a “bland and flavourless” BBQ.
    He shared a snap on Instagram of himself behind the BBQ, which was stacked with chicken, burgers, sweetcorn and other veg, with tongs in hand.
    But some of the comments left a nasty taste, with one saying: “Omg there’s no flavour there WTF.”
    Another troll said: “Is that chicken? It’s so pale hahaha.”
    A fellow cruel fan said: “All that money and no taste…”
    As another joked: “Married a Spice Girl yet there are no spices to be seen on that food.”

    Horner, who last year celebrated Verstappen regaining the F1 Championship, is stepdad to Geri’s daughter Bluebell Madonna, 17, and the couple share a son, Montague, who is 6.
    He also has another daughter, Olivia, 10, from a previous relationship with ex-partner Beverley Allen.
    Horner did also reveal how he was intrigued by the conversations of those that did attend as he spoke about the dramatic race on Sunday.
    Verstappen took the chequered flag to register his sixth straight victory despite the Dutchman being overtaken by his McLaren rival off the line.
    Horner said: “You could see that he [Verstappen] enjoyed racing with Lando today.

    “There was a lot of respect between the two. He’s a racer, he likes to race.
    “I had all the drivers at my house for a barbecue last night and you immediately see that they immediately start talking about the moments on the track, what happened here and there, even about what happened in Formula Three or in karting.”

    And Fury underwent a strenuous no carb diet to make sure he looked in beautiful shape for the shoot.
    But after the snaps were taken and the shots were filmed, the hungry light-heavyweight went to town.
    Fury, 24, started off light with some chocolate fingers and parma ham rolls from the photo shoot buffet.
    It set him up nicely for a Five Guys, ordering a double cheeseburger, a side of chips and TWO milkshakes, taking his calorie count to 5,500.

    After dinner, he admitted: “I’m definitely, 100 per cent going to throw up.”

    The undefeated heavyweight has not stepped into the ring since beating Derek Chisora for a third time at the end of last year.
    And, more than six months on from that bout, no fight has been announced for Fury as talks around an undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk continue to stall.
    Promoter Frank Warren has now hinted at a potential crossover bout with UFC stars Jon Jones or Francis Ngannou.

    After an underwhelming first year at the Etihad, Grealish has begun to live up to his £100million price tag by becoming a regular starter for the English champions.
    And he is also box office away from the field – as was demonstrated by his chaotic celebrations after the Champions League final.
    But Grealish’s unique persona does not stop there.
    The ex-Aston Villa forward also has some rather bizarre eating habits.
    READ MORE ON JACK GREALISH
    When asked to name his favourite pre-match meal earlier this month, he gave a remarkably basic answer.
    Grealish said: “I eat anything really. But recently I have been having beans on toast, a bit English.”
    However, that’s not where the Birmingham-born star’s intriguing food preferences end.
    Beans on toast might be a rather unimaginative option, but he also knows how to splash out on a big cheat meal.

    SunSport revealed that Grealish enjoys gorging on FIVE Chinese takeaway dishes after a match.
    The mammoth dinner is said to set him back £53.50 every time he orders it.
    Speaking about the meal, he said: “Yeah, I love Chinese, man. After every game I get one. I go to Wing’s in Manchester.
    “I usually get a takeaway. I have Singapore chow mein, I have egged fried rice, I have salt and pepper chips, I have salt and pepper prawns and then curry sauce.
    “I then mix it all in and have a big free for all.” More

    Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, was also slammed for his “shameless” stunt of handing University students a 30 per cent discount at the Boston chain of Nusr-Et.

    The establishment is believed to have been Neville’s favourite chipper growing up in the local area.
    The 48-year-old brought his Sky Sports punditry colleagues Keane and Carragher around his local area as part of a new TV show.
    Part of this tour involved going to the Stephen Street Chippery, at which Neville was reportedly invited to try his hand at making fish and chips.
    Judging by photos of the three of them tucking into the food on a bench nearby, his attempt was not entirely unsuccessful.

    A photo of the three men outside the chipper was shared to Facebook by Megan Postle, who is employed there.
    And speaking to Manchester Evening News, James Kilgariff, who owns the chipper with his wife, Rebecca, explained the story behind the episode.
    He said: “We knew about the visit about a month ago but they asked us to keep it hush-hush because they didn’t want mobbing outside.
    “Apparently Gary used to come in here with his mum and grandmother and it was their favourite chippy.

    “They were quite chatty and there was a bit of banter going. They were like every other customer that comes in.
    “There was no airs and graces with them, they were pretty down to earth.
    “They cajoled Gary into cooking fish and chips for all three of them. They were here for about 45 minutes in total.”
    BACK TO HIS ROOTS
    In a post on Instagram, Gary Neville revealed that their visit to the chipper – as well as his childhood home on Ainsworth Road – was for an upcoming episode of The Overlap.
    Alongside of his childhood home, he said: “So today I went back to my roots for the Overlap on Tour!
    “This is the house I grew up in for the first 11 years of my life.
    “To go inside it again was a great thing to do and meet Lorraine who lives there now.
    “The fireplace in the front room still the same. Oh if you could go back in time for a day to experience it again.
