I wouldn't necessarily read anything into that. Maybe Adkins just wants to get a decent look at Reeves.

You have written a lot of nonsense on this thread.

I think I will go down next Saturday morning, or failing that, will phone up in the week after. Don't really fancy queing for hours for no obvious reason!

Yes, expect that's true! And a drinking competition!

Let's be honest - the Open is a bit of a joke tournament. If it was held in another country we would dismiss it as farcical. No one in their right mind would play golf by the seaside today. It's a complete lottery.

I agree, and I think there are a few things we have done over the last couple of years that have been experimental. It's nice to be in the financial position where we have the luxury to try things that depart slightly from the traditional football model. It always makes me chuckle when people point at an aspect of our commercial activities and say "99% of other clubs do it differently". Yes, and 99% of those clubs have terrible finances.

They wouldn't stand a chance against modern professionals. They would look like slow, amateurish, chuggers.

I've just seen a picture of them and to put the icing on the cake, they are fat! Lower classes shouldn't be able to afford to be fat. It makes my stomach churn (in the same way their deep fried mars bars make theirs, no doubt). The sooner we cut Scotland adrift, the better.

Shame it's ****ing it down if you're queing. Bloody Cortese and his bad weather.

I think they were talking about Tom Coull, Sibley's dog's body.

Really? I must've missed that one last year. I did enjoy Wally Downes naked hangliding though.

Oh, it's not at all. I was fully expecting a local person called Bruno to turn up and give us two ice sculptures. Nothing strange at all.

I'm from Safmpton mush. And I like football.

I think the gutter press is disgusting, so I don't buy it. I will happily pay for Sky Sports though.

Have they got Hexalite?

Are they on benefits? That is shocking. They should be forced to pay back every penny they've ever claimed and from now on, you should have to prove you're not on benefits to buy a ticket.

Apologise for asking a question? No. I will apologise if anyone read into ky post an implication that you did that though. Sorry.

Forte certainly isn't a wide right player. I agree, it's a pointless comparison. I think Forte will only ever be a sub or a player who starts league cup matches etc. But he is lightening quick so is a useful squad player in certain situations. He probably knows that, Adkins probably knows that. Everyone knows that. Doesn't mean we can't sign another fast player.

Did some kids have to have a stand-in teacher so that this chap could buy his ST then?

Agreeing to pay all small creditors under an arbitrary threshold in full is just as laaughable as being compelled to pay all football debts in full. Legally it is a mess. Why should someone owed £2.6k be in a materially worse position than someone owed £2.4k? Nice one Chinny! PMSL etc....

Not sure. I reckon Forte is probably on about £3k p/wk, maybe £4k. Dickson similar. Harding maybe slightly more. Martin last season was probably on about £600-700 per week. Hard to say now; it depends how seriously other clubs were interested in him. If we really rate him and the likes of West Ham were interested then who knows... could be on more than the others.

Window Cleaner thinks that the notion of any Championship player earning £1k or £2k per week is ridiculous and that the PFA wouldn't allow it?!

Yeah, no sympathy there. If there is a period explicitly for renewals and renewals are discounted the natural assumption ought to be that you might not get the discount at the end of the period.

Ah, MLG just the man. Please confirm that there are plenty of Championship players who earn less than £4k per week. Thanks.
