aka The Amateur.

On the back of last night's performance, he is now my favourite player.

He is the new Miguel Comminges.

JFL/LJF is a trialist that has come good.

Does anyone actually know if he LJF or JFL??

I'm glad he's doing well anyway.

Think it's LJF...

Haiti. The home of voodoo.

It's LJ-F.

Can we just call him John?

Or lezza.

Oi, Lesc-a that

I hope it is LJF or LJ-F..I'd be disappointed now if it turned out to be JFL or J-FL  and it was all just an administrative cock up by STFC (perish the thought)

Haiti sounds like an interesting place, not that I know much about it. The BBC repeated Alan Whicker's classic 70's documentary recently when he went to see Papa Doc Duvalier. I have a feeling his son was Baby Doc Duvalier. That may be wrong but I really hope it's not. Haiti were in the 1974 World Cup and lost 7-0 to some one. Steely Dan had a hit with Haitian Divorce.

There you go. That's all I know about Haiti.

Oh yeah, they all practice Voodoo.

That's it.

I'm sure we must be able to come up with a decent song for LJF. Trouble is I'm not sure how you pronounce 'Lescinel'?

Just because i like to post pointless shit, but Voodoo isn't to do with torture by pins in dolls. That was merely propaganda that was started by early Christians to rubbish a competing religion and make people reject it and in turn accept the more friendly religion. Oh the irony.

'Less-ih-null' is how I'd say it

i hope he becomes known simply as les

Nah, 'Lesh-in-el' I reckon.

I propose Le - seen - el ... almost palindromic.

No it isnt (in a Monty Python stylee)

I've always said "less-kin-all"

I think he looks like he could turn into a bit of a bonus.  I do think he could pick up the odd red card during the season though, he does have a tendancy to jump in a bit, but I do like the look of him all the same!

 :diespam:

The lads call him Lex

Danny Wilson always calls him Less-Kin-Hell :) in his after match interviews.

Perhaps we should call him Foo as in Foo-Kin-Hell :D

Those lads are a joke a minute

The Haitian...isn't he the guy from Heroes ?!

Yes he is. He can erase your memories.

he can also 'block' nearby peoples abilities, which could be a useful talent for a defender.

He must of been sat in the Town end for most of last season then

according to an article on guingamp's website, his prénom (given name/first name/christian name) is Lescinel and his nom de familie (surname, i presume?) is Jean-François.

my french is non-existant though, so i may be wrong.

You are correct Sonic.

Given they asked this question it seems  even the French were a little confused!

Bit like Stern John then

Trivia question what is the origin of the term "Steely Dan"?

Is Yinka under a Voodoo spell?

And Furious George

If I remember correctly was Steely Dan the name of a Dildo from a novel?

Yes..From a strap on dildo in the Edgar Rice Borroughs novel, The Naked Lunch.

Apparently.

William Burroughs wrote naked lunch not edgar.

Sorry. 

However it was who wrote it had a wicked imagination, it makes one fucking bizarre movie.

Once again the TEF is truly Araldite.

i wasn't too impressed with this chappy today for about ten seconds when he let fallon have a free header from a corner, then i remembered he's fun and ace and got over it. then he got subbed and i was sad again

Wasn't his best game today but he did well against Cardiff and WBA so I'd be happy enough for him to start next week

Meh! A dildo's a dildo.

I haven't seen the film but the book is impossible and nasty.I've tried to read it but its very strange and a hard slog.Kerouac is far more readable.

I read it many years ago, so many I can't remember much about it, other than it juxtaposes Burrough's preoccupation with good and evil, human passion and sensuality.

The Soft Machine also gave its name to an interesting band...who've been lost in the sands of time.

SY good find about Lesc....Guingamp produce some very decent players for somewhere the size of Highworth...I've a mate who supports them, he was well excited as they won the French Cup earlier in the summer.

I might be getting myself into a sticky situation (Get it?) but don't you mean erudite?

Big throw, pace, power, good engine, cool temperment - JFL has the lot.

Surely only a matter of time now until DW receives a call from Jairo Rios Rendon, the Haiti national coach.

Cult Hero.

Decent "JFL Watch" feature there.

Here is an extract:

29th Aug: Another all action performance from the fans favourite in the 2-1 victory over Southend United. JFL watch..
8 mins: Perfectly weighted one-two with goalkeeper Lucas.
25ish min: A surging run down the left which saw at least 3 step-overs, a shimmy and a dummy.
28 mins: JFL is booked after a penalty area scuffle.
34 mins : In an attempt to get the dangerman sent off, Jean-Francois Christophe dives and earns a second yellow card himself.
68ish min: Having been penned in the corner and appearing to have nowhere to go, JFL produces a nonchalant flick/scoop.
92 mins: With Swindon defending a 2-1 lead, left-back Jean-Francois finds himself in the opposition's penalty area and unleashes a rasping shot which is well parried by Mildenhall.
93 mins: Fans sing his name, final whistle blows, another job done for Jean Francois.

hehehehe perfectly weighted back pass!

Ah, yes, that angry mob, pitchforks a-ready that gathered behind the Jack Hayward stand :)

8th Aug: 5-0 defeat at Gillingham, Jean-Francois emerges blameless..

Hahah.
