Worried about the injury Ross Stewart has. Looks to be his only major injury in his career so far? Still, concerned about how a medical could reliably be done, his signing, regardless of past form represents a gamble.
-
But, maybe Stuey has that lined up as a plan B. Diamond Lights mk. 2.
-
At least they only do Man to Man marking rather then Zonal.
-
What about the teachers? No one reads the game like a teacher.
-
She's coming home. The Lionesses We're signing Alessia Russo. The COT never fails.
-
Some more wages off the book.
-
Depends on the percentage of the wages we agreed to pay. Doubt we are paying all of it.
-
Well played chap!
-
Don't really feel anything about this one. We never got the best from him in our colours and he turned a profit. Let's move on.
-
It's a game changer for cooking for the kids, just takes ten minutes now rather then half an hour. Hang on, have I ended up in the wrong forum?
-
No Butterscotch, no dice.
-
No. Martin clearly has him fully, 100% stamped as our no1 keeper. His poor form last year should be enough to stop anyone sniffing.
-
Not today he wasn't. He has rightly received criticism in the past, but today he did well. Long may that continue.
-
Doubt Sporting Lisbon would be too happy about that.
-
Amo-Ameyaw starts. Fraser, Downes and ABK on the bench.
-
Yeah, pointless if they go into administration while the terms are unfulfilled. Not saying that would happen, but looking at how they must be hemorrhaging money right now.
-
Considering he's from Newcastle, buying property to rent in East Anglia is a bold strategy on that basis.
-
Well, here are the videos: Hearts (SPL): Ayr (SD1/SC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s41JM-feRpg To me, he can create and latch onto those made for him. Very versatile.
-
Watching the customary youtube compilations. Shankland scores a nice variety of goals, not all of them especially clean finishes. In particular several where his first effort isn't great but it deflects back to him and in. Whether he could do that in a more competitive league is another question, but his movement off a defensive line reminds me a bit of Ings. Depending on price he could be worth a go.
-
Thanks for the link. Yeah, that's shady. So, the questions are. Do we think he has at any point shown any contrition? Is there any possibility he can change for the better? Pragmatically I know the club will want to avoid drama, he will never come here. But should he be denied a chance to continue his career if those two questions have been positively answered?
-
A possibility. But that's just one interpretation and as we are neither Greenwood or his partner, we won't ever know for sure.
-
No idea, that would be key to any decision for me. If he hasn't, then he shouldn't be anywhere near a return to football.

I'm in two minds on this. By very nature this is going to be emotive and i'm trying to avoid a knee jerk reaction. Firstly, our justice system is based on the chance of rehabilitation. This is a man who has been convicted of no crime and therefore he shouldn't have his livelihood taken away. It seems like he has reconciled with his partner, who is now pregnant? (Stand to be corrected here) And he could definitely offer something to a club at our level. However, he has been recorded exhibiting extremely aggressive, misogynistic behaviour towards his partner and while there has been no conviction it can be considered abusive. No conviction does not mean innocent. His presence at the club could be divisive in the dressing room and quite horrifying on the same basis to many in our fanbase. If not entirely alienating. This however assumes that he will never change, or has not learned from his experiences as a young man. And let's make no mistake, he is just a step or two on from childhood. I would be inclined to give him a chance on the basis of a chance for redemption. But, It would bring a storm of negativity with it.
-
No. Says a lot about the fanbase's current mentality that this is the reaction. The club have a lot of work to do.

We better be beyond busy over the next ten days.
