10 months all in, he had served 9 already when he was sentenced.

It's not so much that he was in the squad for Turrif that makes me think he might be away (though it defo doesn't help 2bf). It's the euro registration dilemma which I've been thinking about a lot, especially since the additions of Kjartansson and Aouchiche. If you recall my post from last week about how we couldn't register one off: "Suman, Nilsen, Polvara, Gueye, Palaversa, Yengi, Clarkson, Sokler, Morris, Rubezic, Topi, Milanovic, Molloy, Mitov, Gyamfi, Jensen, Knoester or Tobers." well add in the two new boys and that's 3 we can't register. When you look through that list of players the ones most likely to get the axe would seem to be Ruby, Sokler and sadly Polavara. Everyone else has either been signed by Thelin or contributed heavily for him last season and given that would anyone be surprised if the management were wondering if Polvaras wage could be better employed? I wouldn't, as fine a player as he is he hasn't played a great deal and doesn't seem a natural fit for any of the midfield positions we operate. All that said though it could be that KK doesn't get registered given there is a bit of a one for the future vibe about him and it's unlikely to affect his morale given his age and status. Also, on that note, I suppose all 3 players mentioned could be just as easily kept but just not registered for Europe. It's a bit of a slap in the face for them though if that's how it plays out.......

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6488510/2025/07/11/jay-emmanuel-thomas-released-on-parole/ It would appear even the jail couldn't make him see out a contract.....

I would genuinely be sad to see Dante go but I guess he's just not a natural fit for any standard role within Thelinball. I still think he could do a job at no 10 for us but it would be a wee bit of a square peg in a round hole.

I guess it depends on what clubs need and what we have to offer. I wouldn't rule out inverness being a contender for league one. Arbroath could be a good option for the championship, anyone we send there is likely to get a lot of game time and given they are part time and it's not too far away it would be easy for players to still train at cormack park also.

The absolute fucking state of that half time show. We are going to have a whole fucking world cup of this pish aren't we

There's a full replay up on RTV

Thanks Al

Aye i found it literally seconds after i posted that, turns out i just needed to scroll down a bit . I work in IT as well . In my defence it was the second anniversary of a close pal taking his own life yesterday and I am a bit delicate today...... and this heat can just fuck RIGHT off!

Yeah that's fucked isn't it

Maybe Topi just isn't a summer holiday kinda guy. Anyone know who To is? Last name on the sub bench.

Anyone going to this? I had hoped RTV might show it but apparently not.

What a complete and utter wasted opportunity.

Apologies Manc, just saw this. I would agree with that, every other position looks to be well stocked.

OK, see what you're doing here is projection. I didn't get angry, you did. I didn't get personal either, I called you out for misrepresenting what I said, lightly teased you to which you spat the fucking dummy like a wee bairn. Stop making shit up, that's what started all this in the first place!

I need to lighten up? Calm down Mr "I would debate more, but after your comment below I won't bother.". Incidently the comment that made you say that was said tongue in cheek. I appreciate it can be easy to misinterpret how something is meant from text only but maybe stop being so sensitive on a football forum where the default setting for most is to take the piss at every opportunity. As for big statement to make? Not really. As has been proven by the comments that have followed me saying that in the time since we have had a handful of players who you could call technically gifted. Anyone coming in with a high level of technical ability is going to fall into the afore mentioned category.

Are you? You might want to be a bit more careful with your language then. announce /əˈnaʊns/ verb verb: announce; 3rd person present: announces; past tense: announced; past participle: announced; gerund or present participle: announcing make a formal public statement about a fact, occurrence, or intention. I stated nothing as fact therefore I could not be announcing anything. Language is important. It's probably best you don't debate, you clearly spun what I said so you could challenge me on the point as if I had stated it as fact. You don't have much of a leg to stand on quite frankly.

Yeah in my head Madigol and Bojan were two big contenders for best technical players we have had the past few decades. Forgot about Christie 2bf, you could maybe bring Zerouali into that conversation as well i suppose

Do learn to read Panda. I posted a video and said "from the look of it he's one of the most technically gifted players we have signed in decades". I've not stated anything as a fact, far less "announced" it, only spoken my hunch from viewing a highlight reel (and, as a first impression, I stand by it btw). I know you work in sports journalism and spinning what someone has said must be second nature but that doesn't make it true.

Hard to say for sure without actually seeing him play a few games but probably the early 90's 2bh. That was the last time we could afford to sign genuinely technical players.

I also watched this and Ambrose never broke into the PSG first team at 17 2bf. From the look of it this boy is one of the most technically gifted player we have signed in decades. Add into that a good attitude and it's hard to see a player like that fail in our league.

Welcome! And thank you for your assessment, I've just spent the last ten minutes trying to find that kind of detail from a Mackem and then you just drop it here. FWIW I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Sunderland, one of the best bosses I ever had was a diehard Sunderland fan so I'm always pleased for him when you do well. The club statement has him down as a no 10 so i doubt he will ever be out wide unless it's an emergency. I can guarantee we will have plenty of runners for him though and my excitement at this signing is growing almost exponentially just that you say that. In Morris, Keskinen and Milanovic we have three of the quickest wingers in the league and with the kind of service you're implying they will have a field day.

I don't know about anyone else but I had to rub my eyes and re-read the first few paragraphs when I realised it said we had signed a 22yo that was able to break into the psg first team at 17 and manage a goal to.
