I was thinking it was a mirror of the France game - poor performance from England, awful officiating, outclassed. Then things started going in our favour once Kelly came on. Never seen a ref getting in the way and flattened twice in one game before. The penalties couldn't have been more telegraphed,...

Shade

Or now Matty Taylor's wages have freed up a chunk, there may be one or two that we can get over the line. Not expecting any imminently though, as JP is usually ahead of these things.

Shade

The club have confirmed Matty Taylor has left on a permanent transfer to Salisbury. Assume no fee, just wages off the bill.

Shade

The best argument against it that I've heard actually came from Farage in ITV News - at 16 you can't stand for election, so you shouldn't be able to vote either. The chances are the votes of 16 and 17 year olds who do choose to vote won't make any difference anyway. It just seems like such a despera...

Shade

Agreed with you both that it won't benefit Labour. But the point of principle of lowering the voting age is still the right thing to do, imho. I don't see how you can have a say on who runs the country if you can't legally buy alcohol. Yeah, we trust you to choose who runs the country, but we don't...

Shade

I think this will backfire on Labour big time. The youth are as unhappy with the state of the country as the rest of us.

I'm sure there are some pensioners for whom their only source of income is their state pension. I must say, however, I don't know any of them. Most of the pensioners I know have three foreign holidays a year and live extremely comfortably - but the idea of means-testing the state pension would prob...

Shade

And owned by a Kuwaiti.

Shade

I dunno about 'modest income' but I do know that 'high income' is absolutely nowhere near as high as most people might perceive - which will likely make 'modest' 30ish-49kpa. [/guesswork] think you are in the right ball park. We are in the region of what people get in benefits for sitting contempla...

Shade

I'd imagine we will still be paying part of his salary then, unless it's some monied non-league club.

Shade

Mine arrived last Wednesday. Nah nah nah nah naaah nah.

Shade

Why would we need to play away from Whaddon Road? The ground holds 5000 without that side it's just about enough for a full season whilst the new main stand is built. Also I don't think there has ever been a precedent of a club playing elsehwere whilst they redevelop once side of the ground? Becaus...

Shade

I've been told a rumour today that Harry Burgoyne, Morecambe keeper, is hoping to join us.

If so, we'll have the last and first lines of a relegated team in our ranks...

Shade

That black badge is superior, unfortunately. Someone saw what we have, and mocked up that better version within a few hours. Did the club pay someone to design that yellow badge? And presumably at least a couple of ppl at the club thought, "yeah, that's the best version" and signed off on ...

I agree, although I wouldn't say it's ruined. Just...I'll be getting the red felt tip pens out...

Shade

Being shown off today, but they're teasing it out...video yesterday, showing the '99 white shirt this morning... https://x.com/CTFCofficial/status/1943256391436657077

Shade

Didn't realise Broom had been released. What a stellar stint he had at Fleetwood... God forbid we get him back here, playing his best football again, just so that he can look for another club to join.

Not sure any on that list are going to improve us but they would bolster the ranks at least.

Shade

What was it Flynn said? All of the trialists would have to stand out a lot more than they did if they want a deal?
Like anyone would have a trial at a higher level, and then fend off clubs to go back to Gloucester

It will be over 50%.

Shade

The Garlick situation muddies things but it still feels like mixed messages - Miller on the transfer list but we don't want him to go and it would take a significant offer to be accepted. Bit odd. Reading between the lines Flynn never transfer listed him but our Director of Football was shopping hi...

Both in League 1? Strange. I guess the boy wants to be closer to home.

Shade

Maybe that's why Gav Crowe has moved on - we need some kind of miracle worker to come in. A godly person who can lay their hands on the injured and heal them.

Shade

Another reminder that life can end just like that, no matter who you are or how successful you are. RIP to a man who was just 28, with three kids, married less than two weeks ago, current Premier League and Nations League champion, and is gone just like that, along with his brother.

Shade

Kinsella seems like the kinda guy who would be up doing 5km runs at 6am every morning of his summer break.

Shade

Want to support a club that punches above its weight and spends far more than it should on wages, plans a new stadium and hires high profile head coaches? Well there's one not too far from here that fits the bill nicely. I really think if they start to build that thing, that really may start to cau...

Shade

Savage confirmed. So much about this is comical.

Jerry St Clair wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025, 18:31 Confirmed. But, the most important question:

An-gol, An-jol, Ayn-gol, Ayn-jol?

Or something else?

An-gol every time I've heard him mentioned before.

Hopefully he will soon be known as Lee An-goals.

Heh.

Do you think he will provide Money For Nothing...?

The new owner isn't one of these Sultans of Swing, like a lot of the clubs get these days, so I can't see that happening.

I'll get my...not coat. Too hot.

Shade

8 goals for a relegated side last season isn't bad. Hopefully get 10+ for us.

Shade

My point is WHY would we need one? It's only a few of you here that are getting stressed about it. The contract is signed, the player is ours, he just hasn't been registered with the EFL yet in order to be confirmed, and that doesn't matter as we don't have a game he would need to be registered for ...

Shade

A few people saying, as if it's fact, the striker we've signed subject to Monday's medical is Andy Carroll.

Shade

Given he's the club secretary and this is obviously his job, and given we have a bare bones staff behind the scenes in order to squeeze every last penny we can into the playing budget, it's hardly surprising the club don't want to leave the registering of players to someone else who might make a mis...

Shade

I'm really not sure what the arguments are about here. We need investment in the team and a new main stand. Obviously we need the priority to be the shorter term investment in the team, and as a longer term investment, the main stand to be looked at in time. Anyway, my post was merely to show MG's h...

Shade

Any possibility to send some of our fringe players there on loan do you think? You will need to clear that with Spanish government and Spanish border patrol :( Why exactly would that be needed? Well, they control the border now (I'm not sure if it has already started), so presumably they can deny e...

Shade

And he appears to have grown his hair, so he's even less aerodynamic than he used to be.

Right...how many ex-Cheltenham employees, on and off the pitch, have they got now? It's getting a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
