That new lad Dominic Scurr has got several stories in the Fail today that aren't lifted straight from the OS.

A Pools' 16-18 side are joining a new National League under-18s league along with York and Darlo (and some clubs in the Midlands)

Robbie Tinkler is the latest ex-Gateshead player to give Pools the bum's rush - he's joined Aldershot. Wonder if Scott Barrow will sign after all?

He's got an interview with Fraser Kerr (who did sign for us, but doesn't count because he's a Jock not a Geordie)

Also see that Graeme Lee is now the boss of the Borer's U-23 side.

He used to be the press officer/media bloke at Gateshead, he was let go along with the rest of there staff at the end of last season and now has found his way to the Fail.

Cini mod is Dominic spelt backwards, although Marcus is rather unflattering.

There was a guy called Scurrs doing the press role at Gateshead last season, maybe him.

5 things we need to know about Dominic Scurrs

I've done some digging and found this article.

Noticed the name Dominic Scurr who was at Gateshead last season, might be the same guy but not 100% sure.

So, the balance of probabilities suggests that Dominic Scurr really is the bloke from Gateshead. Has anybody checked with Tree that he is happy with this level of proof in answer to his question?

Still not convinced.

Don't blame you. In this era of fake news fake reporters can't be far behind. I think Liam 'mail spelled backwards' Donnelly might have just been a human sounding front for a list spewing bot. Now they've changes the settings and rebranded it as Scurr to explain the change in style.

*cough* Kennedy, FIVE reasons you shouldn’t forget his surname.

Donnelly could have been one as well though especially on that day at Orient when decided to try and knack the referee, an obvious sign of malfunction.

Probably, which also means he’s a child rapist and jihadist.

Clearly my brain won't accept that Kennedy is real so it opted for the nearest Pools related Liam. He's always on my mind because he features in my relegation nightmares chinning all sorts of people before disappearing into a theme park called Loid Blackwell's World of Hate and Stupidity.

I still haven't forgiven him for that day, utter bell end, if ever a footballer needed to apologise to a clubs fans it was him after that, yet nothing, no remorse.

Our paths will cross one day, and I'll remind him of it and demand my £10* entry fee back from him

*student prices, gotta love an associate student card.

I wouldn't get used to Dominic Scurr.

There's a press officer position at Gateshead that's just come up and I reckon he'd be perfect for it.

Does he have experience in that area?

Does he want to drop a level though, press officer in National League North or making LISTS with NUMBERS in the top tier of non league butchery?
It’s a tough call.
