Re: Ryan Bowman ?
Match fixing then! I've not seen anything about match-fixing, though spot betting against himself isn't a great look. 6,397 bets over an 8 year period is the sign of an addict though and I hope he gets the help he needs, for his family as much as anything. Indeed and when you can influence the outc...

Re: New Owner
Why ? What insight do you have on the thoughts and views of the board members? I can't quite remember the exact quote but what sprung to mind was the way they dismissed most (all?) of the trust's recommendations as "we've tried them before". Just feels very close minded to me. I think loo...

Re: New Owner
interesting comments, I do think the club is in desperate need of a fresh set of 'objective' eyes on it not prejudiced by any existing board members thoughts or views. Why ?

Re: Michael Flynn after Worcester
I read it as implied he had a small knock too, but you might be right. re-read - you are right Au contraire. Further down the interview, Flynn said: “Arkell had a little niggle, Jordan too, not worth risking.” So, NOT a deliberate non-selection, with implication JT is leaving. Unless (flipping it r...

Was just having a look at the Cliftonville site for any info on their match this week against st Joseph's.

Re: Michael Flynn after Worcester
What i don't get about the waiting game, is that if you are near the bottom of the payment league, you will still be that on August. It seems you have to hope that all the other teams have signed all the players they want by that time I also take it from that conversation, that Thomas is on his way...

But how would we know if we didn’t trial them?! That’s the whole point of a trial is it not?? Did you go today? Our youngsters looked much better than the trialists who'd probably not be guaranteed starters for Worcester. There is nothing wrong with trialing players but you have to be realistic and...

it was good to see the Albion has just become a bigger version of the Bayshill. Maybe a tad less character, but then the back room of the Bayshill did not have much character.

Yes, I fully understand thank you....and yes, it is UK residents who are now impacted.

You can thank the genius Lammy for this. And the planks who voted for Brexit... Nothing to do with Brexit. Everything to do with the planks that voted Labour.
