We're going to have to rename throwing an intercept as throwing a marshall at this stage The intercept was a specul...

Rory Scholes' move seems to really not have worked out for the lad. Has he even played a game for Edinburgh yet? Last I saw he was playing in the Scottish Premiership Very good player.
