That could be Briedl too 2bf

I think you're right. I've said for years that we (AFC) need to have a well developed and publicised strategy for bringing through young players. Making fans aware that we're going to give guys minutes that we wouldn't otherwise in order to accelerate their development. That there may be better players, but that we believe that taking the short term pain is better for everyone in the long run. Build an understanding between the board and fans and get the manager to continually hammer it home. There's a double standard at play too. We've given Aremu six months to get up to speed, and there has been hints that he can be a good player now. We pick and choose who we offer that experience to.

That is nae really what I getting at, but hey what the fk I think that is a better approach than my initial reason for the post. COYR let's do this It's match day here we go 😃

Kevin Ayers And The Whole World - Shooting at The Moon

Showaddywaddy - Under the Moon of Love

While I completely agree with your principle point here, I'm not sure who the "we" that you think has any patience to develop a player like Yogane is. It certainly isn't the majority of our "online" fan base, that's for sure. It would be nice if the club itself had the strength to ignore public feeling and spend some time developing any player that they think is going to be worth it but I'm not convinced that they do either.

I know, I'm eager to start the celebrations for our win tonight as well.

Agree Rico, I think we should definitely be giving Marshall an opportunity (not just one game or the last 15 minutes). There is just as much chance that he will be a success when the options are taking some unknown from englandshire. That would also send a signal to our other youths that they could be given a chance as there hasn't been much evidence of that lately. If Boyd had been given decent time he might have been persuaded to stay.

Is it nae Thursday yet.

We. Me and you. Everyone else. In theory this guy is a public servant. He has been fairly open about his opinions on health care, sick pay etc. Do you not think the that the people who elected him deserve some kind of representation? How long should they go without? At best, he’s incapable of doing the job. The reason the conspiracy theory exists is because of how his party are handling it. Nobody, including the governor, can get in touch with him.

The Drifters - Under The Boardwalk

The problem with Maddison, and Clarkson, or most young loanees is that they're rarely ready for regular first team minutes, in the same way that our own young players aren't. That can be overcome by getting a good box to box midfielder in alongside Aremu, but the same thing could be said about Armstrong, Marshall*, Ronan etc. Similarly, we'd have the time and patience to develop Yogane if we didn't have Olusanya to work with on the opposing side. We're going to have to pick up an exceptional young talent in order to make it worthwhile, otherwise we're going to end up with another squad filler as competition to our existing squad fillers, replacing the exiting squad fillers. Obviously, that could apply to any signing, but we should at least attempt to get a very good starter in place before Friday. We should be quickly accepting that Briedl isn't going to be the guy to perform the expected role, and sign a replacement. It's not a role we can afford to give someone time in. *Edit: if, as expected, Marshall goes out on loan again, then it's simply replacing our own young player with someone else's to do exactly the same thing. If Marshall had been given two athletic midfielders to work with, he'd have managed, I'm certain.

Who's we? A quick glance at the BBC shows there were updates on his condition a few weeks ago and a photo of him and his wife a month ago. What do you need as confirmation that an old man is unwell and taking a while to get better? Do you think that reporters/you should be given access to his bedside to quell online rumours? Or should he just be left in peace with his family to recover, or otherwise? What's the conspiracy here? It seems extremely likely that an 84 year old man could still be unwell after pneumonia. It wasn't that long ago that there were stories of Trump not being seen, then, previously, Biden. When the truth is both plausible and quite mundane, it's probably safe to say that there isn't much in the way of conspiracy.

We can but hope for a Maddison type loan rather than the vast majority of duds that have disgraced the shirt in recent years. Was there not talk of some guy from Liverpool earlier in the window (until Iraola saw our style of fitba)?

If that was the story, we would know about it. We don’t.

Sounds like conspiracy balls to me. Old man has fallen and is taking longer than expected to get better is hardly a story.

Paul Simon - Under African Skies

76 days since anyone has seen Mitch McConnell Quite something that not one journalist has wondered if a sitting US senator is an animal, vegetable or mineral in that whole time

Toto - Africa

Burning Spear - African Postman

No idea about that, but was something doing the rounds yesterday about Miovski away to Feyenoord for £10 million. Imagine having players worth £10 million that can't even make their bench. 🤣

Did I read he’d turned down a move to Germany? Muppet.
