    Cheers bud. I will look into it.

    And as for Redmond. As my usual opinion:"I wish he was good enough for us. Starts in the Premiership for Saints, and gets an England call up, but still. Not good enough for Norwich City!

    I ALWAYS said. Redmond would be an England player. Shame he wasn't good enough to play for our team.

    I'm the same <ok>
    Fairly obvious that NCFC didn't get the best from him. For whatever reason(s) :emoticon-0112-wonde
    But I'm glad he's got a call up, hope he gets to appear / shine.

    I think he's playing more centrally at Saints (same as he did for England under 21s), but I would have liked to have seen him play more centrally when he was at CR, but of course we had Hoolahan playing there!!! <doh>

    This guy makes me laugh. He's so far up Delia's jacksy
    it must be a land of perpetual darkness <yikes>



    NCFC - no manager, no CEO having got shot of 2, one extremely good one, in a year.
    An aging, lacklustre squad in urgent need of revitalising and freshening up.
    Absolute stone-wall silence from the board to the loyal fans who keep the show on the road.
    And he calls Florist 'chaotic' ?? <doh>

    There's no doubting Mick's love of the club but his fierce loyalty to Delia and Michael is a little bit too obvious for him to be objective and balanced.

    He's SOOO biased, I've given up reading his articles!!!

    Edit - I've just got my tickets for the under 23 game 2 weeks tonight and REALLY looking forward to it, as we actually play attacking football and IF we win, then we're in the final against either Swansea or Porto. <ok>

    Did anyone see what happened in the Huddersfield game? Someone is being stretchered off.

    Looks like Huddersfield are blowing their chances for the 2nd automatic place - losing 2-0 at Bristol.

    I didn't see it, but a serious injury for the Huddersfield defender Hogg apparently.

    Thanks DH. A neck injury that caused a 14 minute delay. Sounds like Hogg is going to be O.K. I hope so.

    Probably too late for us now but defeats for both Huddersfield and the Wendies tonight.

    Think I saw on twitter that Glenn Middleton scored 2 and starred in a 6-1 win for Scotland U17s.

    Getting raved about. Hel be leaving on a free soon.

    Thanks FML. I saw both of his goals on a clip on twitter and his 1st was a belter from about 20 yards and the Montenegro keeper didn't even see it!!! His 2nd and Scotland's 6th he had no right to score, as he beat about 3 defenders single-handedly before slamming it into the net. He's on contract until the end of 2018, but I'm sure the vultures are already circling.
    I'd love to see more of him at CR, as he's been coached by our very own DH6 and has said how much he has influenced his development and you can see it in his play.
    I know RER has said he should be 'handled with care', but I'd love to see him at least on the bench next season, and he would scare the sh1t out of some of the older defenders in the Championship!!! #bringiton

    Edit -
    I'm p1553d off, as I could have watched the entire game last night on a live stream!!!!!
    I think you should be able to see both his goals here - https://twitter.com/ScottishFA. The commentator was REALLY impressed with GM!!!! <ok>

    As you say FML, he'll be leaving on a free and playing in the PL in the next couple of seasons, having never had a chance to play in the Championship!!! :emoticon-0121-angry <doh>

    If you want to see him actually play FML, get your ticket for the under 23 game against Sunderland on March 31st!!!
    Your gf would love such an exciting night out !! <laugh>

    I saw the second goal. He looked like Messi! I'm going to have a look for the first one. Could you post the tweet you watched the goals on on here mate?

    I do plan to get to a game, not sure I can drag the gf, unless I bribe her with a meal out.

    He could easily have gone down under one of the challenges for a penalty and one of the things I've been impressed with is his strength and determination.

    I saw them both on here and it's below his 2nd - https://twitter.com/ScottishFA
    You could bribe her with fish and chips in the Queen of Iceni AND a glass of wine for £8!! <laugh> #result
    Failing that, the fish and chips in the Wig and Pen for £10 is very good and about a 15-20 minute walk to the ground
