Thanks for the explanation, Si!

I obviously misinterpreted your use of the word 'odd'. World is still spinning

Ihearye

Personally don't find it offensive or odd, not just because it is quite a pleasant tipple, but if any item is openly on sale in every supermarket in the country. It strikes me as slightly churlish to suggest that a random advert should be banned. I would doubt your average alcoholic is bingeing on a...

Just seen a blatant piece of advertising by the official Facebook account for Jameson Black Barrel whiskey. Struck me as very odd and I've never seen that before from CTFC. Not entirely sure it's appropriate? Not necessarily because it's alcohol, just because I didn't think the club would be doing ...

Do you recall how back in the day Luke was the worst keeper we ever had LMAO

Ihearye

Why would an ineligible player in an FA Cup game lead to a points deduction in the EFL? I don't know if it will but, as above, if it's to do with the keeper, presumably they've also been using the "emergency" keeper in L2 when they shouldn't have and they will have broken League rules too...

One of the theories from their forum is that they fielded their emergency loan keeper - but named their 'injured' keeper on the bench. That might explain why it's not so cut and dried as the Barnsley case. Weird I can't remember which club it was, but I recall someone falling foul of playing an eme...

Ihearye

They’ve done one of two things wrong: 1) played an ineligible player due to complexity of loanees. Wouldn’t be first club to do that, rare but not unheard of 2) more seriously, manipulated the ‘emergency loan’ of their goalkeeper. You’re allowed to get an emergency loan keeper if you have no other ...

Ihearye

wouldn't be surprised if it was their flag flying antics

Ihearye

Reading back under a EFL embargo for failure to pay HMRC bill Is that another automatic point deduction? No. Because players have been paid 100% of wages, while club staff have been paid 50%. So, no points sanction because it only applies to non-payment of playing staff. As such, low paid office st...

The improvement is almost beyond belief however the bookies still have us as 1-5 favorites to go down which shows the extent of the mountain we need to climb. Clarke has installed an us against the world mentality in the players who appear to be willing to run through brick walls for him, if he can...

Didn't say he did it didn't need to be one, just wondering would he be DC choice next year if still here

Ihearye

Superb performance from everyone today. Like most others feared the worst when Street got sent off, but the shift from everyone else was fantastic. Thought Tom Pett was superb again, why Port Vale let him go baffles me more each game. Curtis Davies was immense too and probably shaded MOM for me (fi...

First match back from hols and we win, so no connection at all. Enjoyed that, pretty solid performance all round. Lloyd a lot more active than AK.
Second goal, I think the linesman originally thought Goodwin and headed the ball, when in fact he got nowhere near it, so Lloyd was OK yards ahead

Ihearye

Rugby Union has been in a financial mess all the time it has been a professional sport. It has made the mistake of paying the players too much money well beyond the income generated. Hence the demise of many a club in recent times. I would expect the sport to follow cricket and go for the cash offe...

Ihearye

Well he went on the Monday after our first friendly, so it was no later the first week of July. As already mentioned, he spent a couple of days with Derby, but their financial rules stopped them being able to bid so it wasn't just Charlton he was interested in. In fact, it was Gillingham that he or...

The problem with any valuation is that it is tied to the length of the outstanding contract. Within 12 months, Alfie's transfer value would be down to zero. All the advantages are with the buying club. Do you accept what is offered knowing full well that in a year you are going to miss out on £250 ...

Ihearye

I thought the debate was a bit daft but I see Si's point. The club set the min price and there was only one bid of this price so they could of cost themselves money. Who knows? Should of started at a higher price or just stated open to offers. Who knows what May or his agent told any other clubs to...

Ihearye

It was, but then a massive part of me thinks we should have held our ground. He effectively had two years left on his deal (1 year plus our option) but the minute he’s kicked his toys out of the pram we’ve backed down. I know contracts are almost not worth the paper they’re written on these days, b...

As far as I am concerned he can play Snoopy as a roving #10 as long as it keeps us up

It's a bizarre thing... I have a few friends who swear by them - uncoincidentally, they all live alone and generally cook for one. They're not friers in any way, shape or form - they're just really small (and very efficient) fan ovens. I am of a similar mindset. Am strongly in the opinion they must...

Odd one this, I have no doubt the welcomed the chance to play for DC again. However that would seem to suggest offers from others have only come in just as we approached him and not at Any other time during his free proof. Either way not too bothered just glad to have him here and hope he does enoug...

Well he says they will be development players, some would argue that narrows it down to around 25

But would seem to look like Keena is safe, for now - of he doesn't fall into the 'not professional every day with right attitude'

Ihearye

asl wrote: ↑10 Nov 2023, 14:20 I'll be disappointed, but I bet Keena's one of them.

Robin will probably be disappointed if Goodwin isn't another!

I think he may stay, we need more than 2 forwards contesting for the Bench slots. Unless Young King steps up of coure.

Ihearye

So that is actually 4 who can go straight away. Presuming it will be added to come January

Next thing you know, Norton will be banging in hat-tricks.

The only people getting their noses rubbed in anything, are the ejits who came up with the £250k price tag. Football geniuses will point out it may rise to as much as £300k - WOW

The Echo up to its usual standard and has a pic of May when you go on to the CTFC page. If only they could employ someone who can change the web pages (they still have a story for Christmas last year as 'latest news') Quite ironic when you're still calling it The Echo. Must be nearly 15 years since...

Ihearye

I assume given the status of the game that DC was more concerned about giving certain players certain minutes - which meant playing some out of position. For all we know DC may have said to Chapman “you are never going to play in centre mid so we will only keep you as a versatile back up for other ...

Why did we play a forward with limited left foot ability at left wing back and Chapman out of position? It was 11 against 9 on the pitch.

They won't take Cotts there, his style of play is the total opposite of what Manning has them playing. Could see the Cowley's being interested but also being overlooked for a more progressive younger coach. Also I heard Cotts had applied for the Bristol Rovers job, could certainly see that happenin...
