This is fucking appalling cheating. Madden cheat. Morelos cheat. One yellow card for Logan??? Game is fucked.

That’s Cossie and Lewis off. Didn’t see what happened with Cosgrove, Lewis clattered his head off the post. Deep slice in his head assume it’ll need stitches.

IF we do get a Euro place we’re pretty fucked for the qualifiers. Lewis McKenna Devlin Logan Ferguson Gleeson Campbell McGinn McLennan Ross Wright May Cosgrove Anderson

Lost one of my Under 14's (mixed team) girls in the summer to Bristol City. She is now playing for England U16's. Her older sister was already part of the Bristol City set up and I have it on good authority from the lad I coach Under 12's (girls) with that she was better than every player in her school year (he's a PE teacher there). I picked up a goalie (who is also part of the Bristol City set up for my Under 14's) in the summer. They train 3 times a week there and as she is one of 3 keepers, is encouraged to play mixed too. In order to help her improve. I think she is almost as good a shot stopper as the lad I have, her distribution is better. She's still too stuck in her penalty area for my liking though. We have two girls in our Under 12 (girls) side, who I think will end up at Bristol City or similar, in the near future. They play for one of the local multi-side per age group clubs for their A team. One is a keeper, probably the best I've seen at that level boy or girl locally. An opinion shared by a coach of another local girls team, who also coaches in Swindon Town Academy set up. The other has the potential to be better than the one I lost from my Under 14's. Anyway point is girls up until 5 years ago could only play mixed till Under 8 or maybe even younger and only in the last season increased beyond Under 16. Beyond that it was girls only and that was stiffling development. They were hardly being challenged by other girls (often just starting out) when they had come from dominating in the mixed game. In addition the only further development they could get was playing County, although it was bringing together the best from that area it was maybe once a week to once a month, this has increased in quantity and I think quality in recent years. Plus we are seeing these academy set ups which are mirroring the boys. Personally I can only see the improving drastically in the next 5 to 10 years.

Seen this on Twitter with a few huns (as per) commenting shit on his value. Never really got why? jealousy? Then it occurred to me £5 million is more than their stadium, training facilities and playing squad were worth in 2012.

Can’t see why english championship sides wouldn’t be looking to sign him. Big, strong, clever, now scoring all sorts of goals. Type of forward from up here that would do well. Plus he’s a Nigel too, bound to increase interest and value. That said, if tattie heed at the huns is worth £8 million. Cossie is worth that and more. Can’t see the clubs mentioned ponying up that.

Suspended and unlikely to take charge again, following an exchange with other employees. Sounds like they’re going to try to punt him using disciplinary measures to avoid giving him a pay-off.

Must be un-named Chinese clubs ready with £20 million bids for Cosgrove by now.

Reads as though contract was terminated at his request. Not sure how strong a bargaining position that puts him in? There’s a possibility we might have given him something to protect ourselves against him turning up tomorrow having signed for Scunthorpe but would hope that original contract and subsequent termination agreement would leave us well protected against that. So not beyond the realms that it was just essentially ripped up.

Not sure if you’re trying to stir things up but some of your recent posts seem to go against sensible consensus, just because. Cummings “mercurial’ He’s a fat, lazy, waste of space with an over inflated sense of worth. Never a footballer. If not, I’ll have whatever you are. Oh and whoever made up the McKenna nonsense can fuck off, unless the made up deal involves a 100% sell on clause. ?

Doesn't look great for them. Tim's supposedly looking to loan out Mulumbu. If true, while I'd still like him to come here, I'd imagine he'll be back to Clarke. If they can screw the sevco for some money for Jones to go now, I'd imagine Clarke will be able to bring in adequate replacements for him and Stewart.

Aye, if I was a player with relative ability like GMS and my options were here or shit-hole towns in England playing second tier fitba, and NYC came offering an opportunity, I'd be off like a shot.

Is it Frank Carson?

To replace Rowett is what is being suggested.

Gloucestershire sports journalist, who's usually spot on, says he's back to FGR training today. Bolton's transfer embargo means he cannot sign there. Also reading murmurings on twitter that McInnes has had a chat with the Stoke board...

Hilarious, that these cunts are signing for them then pander to their moronic support without the self awareness to realise why they are being signed. :D

They’ll be able to name a match day squad of all midfielders with the first team entirely made up of CM’s.

Hear what your saying but assume there will be championship clubs willing to pay more than £25k p/w.

Aye. The two city goals were something else. Both finishes millimetre perfect. Some of the one-touch triangles when being pressed by, at times 5 Liverpool players, particularity in the first 20 minutes. Sane and Fernandinho, in a game where there were so many brilliant performances. I'll often stick games on nowadays and view them glancing up from my phone, not last night.

If true, have to assume some folk are away and any money made pissed up the wall on this vanity project. £14.2 million losses last year already an increased playing budget this year. The Mexican lads back from their loans, too. You'd imagine the huns would be paying at least 50% of his supposed +/- £100k p/w wages. Won't solve their inability to create effective chances and I can't remember Defoe being the type of player to drop deep to create his own. Will sell shirts with his name on the back though, I suppose. If it happens, along with other rumours, it has to be a final roll of the dice. One last go at stopping the Tim's winning the title this season because they know they're heading for an insolvency event that could result in this club going the way of the last incarnation.

Doidge went to Bolton on loan till Jan on the basis they bought him now for reportedly 7 figures... I see Exeter have signed Bowman and Stockley's release clause of £750k has been triggered. Would be typical of the odd way the world works if we had a sell-on fee, Preston signed Stockley and we used said sell on fee to bring in Moult from Preston.

Their back four/five if you want to include Gordon are suspect. Rogers seems to want to play out from the back. One of his first signings was De Vries whom he saw as a ball playing "sweeper" keeper. None look comfortable with ball at feet under pressure. They look even more suspect this season with Brown now half a yard off the pace. They are getting away with it at the minute because they have relative quality in the final third. As said, if you sit back and invite them on they have the quality to nick a goal or two. Rogers now seems to be in a position where he is unsure of the style of football he wants/has the players to play. He doesn't have the quality to do what he started off doing. He either does not possess the tactical nous or is too arrogant in his selections to beat teams at their own game and/or set up to make effective changes if teams do surprise him tactically. You could see in our game we initially set up to play as we did in the cup final, which he was expecting, hence the first goal. McInnes then changed it, but because they hadn't shoe horned McGregor in at LB he was able to make effective changes. Perhaps he thought his masterstroke in our game was just the Hayes for Izzaguirre, and he thought if he swapped Ralston for Lustig it would have a similar effect, I dunno. I think it shows that Rogers got lucky in our game and perhaps was too arrogant in his team selection against the huns. If we set up properly we can beat them, I think McInnes has the ability to out think Rogers. But, as you say, does he have the bottle or confidence/trust in himself and his own players to take the game to them and do so?

Wonder if Murty had any input into yesterday’s tactics. Essentially same game plan as last years game at the same time of the year, and an equally inept response from Rogers. The high press is beaten by long balls to a player that can hold it up and move the game up the field stretching the opposition. The young lad up front is not that player. Sinclair was a waste of a jersey which I doubt helped him. Brown was utterly shite, he looks to be done. Too many issues to change with the subs Rogers had. Bizarre team selection given how they finished the game against us.

Cosgrove looked like a striker tonight. Just needed a third with his left for the perfect hat-trick. Likely would have got it if he’d had 90 minutes, too. No coincidence he’s coming into form at the same time as May, McLennan and McGinn now we are playing 2 up front and two wingers. Don’t think May is too far off a few things coming off for him and hitting top form. Substitutions baffling. Ball for May? At 4-0? Why not a straight swap for Anderson? Wilson for McGinn? Surely Wright? Cosgrove for Forrester? If you’ve got to make it then maybe Wilson (based on my earlier changes) but I’d rather one of our young ones had been on the bench. Great shift from Ferguson and McKenna and as already said May, McLennan with an assist (or was it two) and goal, McGinn with two assists but had to be Cossie MoM. Hope he kicks on for 15-20 goals this season now.

Not really what I said. Rumours at the time she wanted him to sign for Don's. So, I assume, she is Aberdonian. If she is, then hopefully she/he/they realise that signing for huns means, should they so wish, moving back to the city in the near future would be difficult. Then again if she is a psycho, maybe she couldn't give a fuck and he'll do whatever he's told.
