Steve Bruce defends under fire Northern Ireland goalkeeper: ‘He's been made a scapegoat'
Blackpool manager Steve Bruce has defended goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell after a tough to start to life at the League One club for the Northern Ireland international. Peacock-Farrell is currently on loan at the Seasiders from Birmingham City. However, the ex-Leeds United star has conceded ten goals in his opening four games of the season. Former Manchester United skipper Bruce has urged Blackpool fans to support their new shot stopper. 'We need them to get behind the goalkeeper. He's our player for a year, and he hasn't played for a while - he'll get better with a little bit of support and a pat on the back now and again. 'I feel as if he's been made the scapegoat a little bit. I understand people's frustrations. 'He's an established goalkeeper, who if we get behind, and he gets himself well, then he's very capable, so let's try to encourage him. We've got to get behind him and show a little bit of support. I feel like I need to defend him. We've all had a bad couple of weeks. "We've analysed the goals. He was at fault for one here, but he's bore the brunt of the frustration of everybody. Everyone needs a pat on the back sometimes, and other times you need a rocket up the backside. Blackpool boss Steve Bruce 'I know Bailey will be okay, he's shown enough in training. Technically he's very good - you never lose your ability.' In League One, Blackpool lost their first game of the season 3-2 to Stevenage before going down 4-1 against Exeter City. Last Saturday, the Seasiders beat Huddersfield Town 3-2 at Bloomfield Road. The 28 year-old made his Northern Ireland debut in 2018 and has since earned an impressive 48 caps, although he has not been selected to play since last September's Nations League loss to Bulgaria. Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Pierce Charles has since established himself as Michael O'Neill's first choice between the sticks.

Celebrity SAS' Troy Deeney kicked 'defenceless' student in the head as life unravelled
Celebrity SAS' Troy Deeney kicked 'defenceless' student in the head as life unravelled The former striker is among the final six contestants of the Channel 4 show Former Birmingham City captain Troy Deeney now works as a pundit (Image: Bradley Collyer/PA Wire.) Hit Channel 4 show 'Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins' is approaching its finale, with the list of contestants now whittled down to just six. Two more participants, Lady Leshurr and Rebecca Loos, handed their numbers in during the most recent episode, with the finishing line now in sight for those still in the process. Among the final six is former footballer Troy Deeney, who has relished the challenge from day one of the series. "I'm at a crossroads in my life, so I'm hoping the course can highlight the good and bad in me and hopefully we'll see at the end, that the good outweighs the bad," he said previously. "I'm sure the DS will get me irritated very quickly but they will also know how to nurture and to reshape and probably help me along the way." Boxer Conor Benn, Drag Race UK star Bimini, singer Lucy Spraggan, Love Island contestant Adam Collard and Michaella McCollum, who was one of the infamous 'Peru Two', are the other names still left in. Article continues below Deeney was known as a bruising presence on the football pitch, and was sometimes just as tempestuous in his private life. In 2012, after finishing his second season with Watford as their top goal-scorer, he was sentenced to 10 months in prison for kicking a man's head and breaking his jaw during a brawl on a night out. A 30-second CCTV clip played in court showed Deeney kicking out at a "defenceless" group of students outside a Birmingham nightclub, one of whom received repeated blows to the head as he lay injured. "My dad was diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus in February 2012, and finding that out really messed me up,' Deeney once recounted to The Guardian. "I went out for a friend's birthday not long after. I was angry and hurt and excessively drinking, and I was running around with people who weren't friendly. I got into a fight, which never should have happened. "I then got arrested and while the legal process was happening, I was losing my dad at the same time. My dad died in May, we buried him in June and it was three days after the funeral that I went to jail." It's an incident he said he regretted "massively". "Within five months I went from feeling like I was king of the world, playing football, making money and having all my friends love me, to going straight to jail," he said. The grief of losing his father has clearly affected the former striker, who previously admitted it's something he may never get over. Article continues below 'I woke up just yesterday and wanted to call my dad and have a chat with him," he said previously. "I should have done more for him; I could have taken him away from his life and shown him there was more to the world. "My dad was the strongest, fittest man I've ever met and if he died then, that only gives me, like, 15 years. If that's the case, I need to do something substantial to leave my mark on the world, so when people talk about me, it's not just: 'Troy the footballer.''
