Agreed mate he was outstanding I’m sure he played for England amateurs? Ye Chris Hartley very good player too Garry bratton was another He got to city reserves but just couldn’t break into it. I don’t know why he didn’t. Done well for himself out in Oz I think . Neil went and played for brid town when the dodgy racehorse owner owned them and was earning a pretty penny there Chris hartley went there too and Steve Brentano
Agree. Although I knew he’d go for another wildcard than a safe option, but I think this one is as safe a wildcard as you can get really, other than someone like Marco Silva who has had some decent level of success in another country.
Ken Richardson of Flockton Grey fame? Famously and allegedly when chairman of Doncaster Rovers paid someone to set fire to the main stand for the insurance payout, and the 'arsonist' left his phone behind with Richardson's number the last call on it! As for young players, do you remember one called Kirk or was it Kerr? played in midfield for the reserves a few times? Saw him play for us against Everton at Boothferry Park one night and they fielded a near full strength team for some reason or another and every one of them applauded the young lad off the field at the end, Kevin Ratcliffe the Everton captain? in particular walked him off the pitch with his arm around him. The poor lad suffered a serious injury soon after and disappeared.
There's no allegedly, he got a four year prison term for it. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Yep that was him Quite a character I do remember now you say it going to that ressies game but can’t remember a Kerr or Kirk! Was he a local lad? Al rawdah might know? Also went to the ressies one night at B P when we played Man U and Bryan robson played a comeback game against us. Steve Brenner was trying to man mark him in midfield but couldn’t get near him and he was only playing at 50% You see how good they really are at times like that.
I remember the Flockton Grey 'sting' and I'm pretty sure one the the 'Wiles' family from Driffield was involved in some way.
Just listened to the 1904 podcast and the full press conference, I thought all 3 of therm came across really well. At the end it was asked if we’d try for any Reading players, Dublin said it’s something we’d try for in the next 12 months (or something like that). I’m not really sure what he ment
I thought he was basically confirming the clause by saying it would be something we could look at over 12 months as opposed to the next window. It was a weird way for him to answer the question though.
I took it that this January wasn't possible (as others said earlier) but we could well be back calling after that. It was a bit cryptic, not sure why he couldn't just have said it as it was
The league is probably on track for a record low points total to stay up just because of how **** everyone is
Yeh John Ex posted it two pages ago, had a listen, and when you hear the stats I can understand why, sadly there's lies, damn lies and statistics.
Maybe Selles had targets at Reading within a budget that he would have tried to get in January that he would now want here..
Nice to see two people know what they are talking about, not them two idiots of that other Twitter feed whose name escapes me.
we cant buy Reading players. But no doubt Selles had scouted players for January if he was still there. So now doubt he will have given recommendations to the brains trust.
