WTF????????......

Found Brian Kilcline (although don't think he was ever lost)!

Scott Doe - Joined Dagenham from Weymouth after they hit financial turmoil.

Matt Bulman - At Supermarine now

Michael Pook - Saw him in old town, said he had a few offers but not in L1 or L2..... said he may join Oxford "if the money is good enough" no joke...

Fair enough. Its a proffesion. The man has to live

Fatbury always implied that Pook would go beyond L1 :)

Maybe its a smokescreen then? Perhaps to be unveiled as the next big signing for Newcastle United next week? Tozer said only good things about Pook I heard ;)

Pook will end up at Chippenscum i think.

Its his level.

Chippenham would be one hell of a drop for someone who was a regular in the FL.

Forest Green?

Pooks more than good enough for league 2. People slate him because its the fashionable thing to do, but his input in the season just gone was far better than that of say peacock.

Pook had his name circled around conference teams towards the end of last season with very little interest, conference south with be the very last resort, but i think he will get a conference club

Agreed.

peacock was dire

But still is here..while Pook is not.

peacock reaping the benefits of being a smashing chap and having a longer contract!

Wayne O' Sullivan is assistant manager for Wellington Phoenix in NZ

So he may get the boot this year then Arch.

I don't think he's there anymore. Could be wrong though.

Ace... :soapy tit wank:

Biggest fan of Peaks me...but end of shelflife im afraid...

Are you a fan of his ability or his personality though Flash?

Royce Brownlie is playing with his brother at Peninsula Power in the Brisbane Prem League.

simon cox is at wba

:D

Didn't know he had moved from Wellington, was hoping to catch him next time i visit, is that a recent move? Or am i completely behind the NZ times?

Been there a couple of seasons as far as im aware, as he left phoenix to return to play part time in oz, he also assistant coach there.

Jon Gittens just been promoted as manager with Blackfield & Langley to the Wessex Senior League.

That is just sick

Quality Quip as ever from Shop.....spat Ginger beer (the soft drink) all over the laptop!

Any news on Brezovan or Jack Smith if they found clubs? or talking to anyone?

Talking to each other about new careers.

Jack Smith is going to Cheltenham for pre season

I thought Jack Smith could still do well as a squad player for us.

He could certainly do better than 'Nam, I'd have thought

My dad saw Alan Reeeeeeeeeves at Euston station last Friday! he felt the need to go up to him and say "Im sure your Alan Reeves!"  :-[

apparently he made his day!

I think Frederic Darras is manager of AS Chablis in France

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Darras

I'll drink to that.

I read somewhere that Notts Co were interested in Brez.

Got to aim higher Gazza.

Wonder if Commingues would fancy comming back?

4 yellows and a red from just 10 appearances last season? Might be a bit frustrated?

10 appearances? Really, is that all? Christ you could probably find a thread on here with me going on about what a great success he'll be at Cardiff.

Perhaps my dad is right, I obviously don't know football from a pigs ass...

He didnt start well at Swindon though did he? Took him a good 3 months to get into it.

He was a liability at Port Vale in november (?), then our best player from christmas to the end of the season.

David Kerslake been confirmed as first team coach at Watford.

Jake Hyde joining Barnet

http://www.barnetfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10431~1711717,00.html

Jake Hyde, a blond 6 - feet tall striker from Swindon Town, is set to sign for Barnet.

Is this a football site or a dating agency?

Well if any club is to talk about hair - it'll be Barnet.

That made me laugh possibly more than it should have.

Me too, I don't laugh out loud too often at stuff I read on the net but I have to say that - rather embarassingly - got me good.

What ever happened to the foreign legion brought in by the Portugeezers?

Does anyone remember the Adver mentioning that there were Brazilian youth players arriving at the club during that era?  I always wondered if that was utter bollocks or if there was ever anything to it.

I think the whole thing was a bad dream that we all just happened to have at the same time, makes me shudder where we'd be now if they were in charge.

If it had been Edwards Hyde, we should have kept him.

Spoke to Jake 2 weeks ago he told me it was between Barnet and Wycombe, a lot closer to his home so less travelling, good luck to him, not the best player in the youth/reserves but could do well.

Any idea if Sam Parkin is training with anyone?? Not sugguesting he come back here..

Saw Ashan Holgate today in the town sitting on a bench

He has good experience of this.

Folawiyo "Fola" Onibuje was at Weymouth until the end of last season.  He has been with the following teams.

Preston North End
→ Huddersfield Town (loan)
Barnsley
Peterborough United
Cambridge United
Swindon Town
→ Brentford (loan)
→ Wycombe Wanderers (loan)
Wycombe Wanderers
Shrewsbury Town
St Albans City
Macclesfield Town
Accrington Stanley
Weymouth    

Poor lad, can't be much fun for him.  He'll allways be a figure of fun at all of those clubs mentioned however.

How many other players have played for that many clubs?  Trev Benjamin?  Steve Claridge?

I remember meeting a Brentford director a month or so after we loaned Fola to them, and asked how he was getting on there. He replied, with a grimace, "You really stitched us up there, didn't you?" (or words to that effect). I took that to mean he hadn't been a smash hit

Lloyd Opara's career still takes some beating...

Colchester United
Cambridge United
Stevenage Borough
→ Enfield (loan)
Braintree Town
Hornchurch
Grays Athletic
Swindon Town
St Albans City
Bishop's Stortford
Redbridge
→ Chelmsford City (loan)
Cheshunt
→ Peterborough United (loan)
Peterborough United
→ Burton Albion (loan)
Cheshunt
Windsor & Eton
Harlow Town
Potters Bar Town
Waltham Forest
Arlesey Town
Cheshunt
Broxbourne Borough

Cheshunt never learned...

Its a shame you didnt include his trial at Chelsea, which was sandwiched between stops at Cheshunt and Peterborough.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/chelsea-pluck-opara-from-obscurity-to-boost-striking-ranks-469256.html

Reads like a bleeding soap Opara.

I have no idea he got a trial at Chelsea, do you reckon he had a top quality brouchure like Michael Owen??

Shares an agent with Julien Faubert clearly. Either that, or Brian Howard put a good word in for him.

Took me a few re-reads, and by god leefer, that is appauling.

Sorry.

I feel bad now.

Is Craig Maskell still with Staines Town ?

Yeah...they have special goalposts that make a pinging sound when he curls em in....

I will never forget that goal......and the cushioned header versus Brum in the 6-4 comeback....

Amazing day and an amazing goal,one that stick's in you're memory forever,that goal and bodin's penalty are the only two i can remember from that day.

No hes not...but they kick off v Weston Super ex Swindon Mares.

Didn't realise it, but Iffy Onoura has been assistant to Peter Jackson at Lincoln City for a while.

He was stand in manager while Peter was getting over cancer earlier in the season for about 3 months I think.

Pook and Razak on trial with Crewe

Grunt Sniff on trial at Bradford

Ben Joyce at Yeovil.

Weston-super-Mare 2-2 Exeter City

Chris Allen scored a penalty for Exeter last night.

Ashan Holgate scored the final W-s-M equaliser.

[url width=480 height=640]http://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/javaImages/c7/aa/0,,10436~6400711,00.jpg[/url]

Corr didn't play.

Joyce has signed for Torquay now.

Joyce and Sturrock up front together?  Could be potent at that level I think.  (Has Sturrock signed there?)

He got a brace in a trial - Mustapha Carayol got a couple aswell.

Good for him...hope he does well.

Rory's leaving/left Plymouth

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

More than good enough for this level (he says, despite not seeing fallon play for 3 and a half seasons) SIGN HIM UP

Sturrock didn't get offered anything permanently at Torquay, Joyce is only on trial but scored twice in a PSF a couple of nights ago!

Chris Allen just about to sign for Exeter I hear!

Thanks Berniman, I've been wondering about Sturrock.  You can always rely on the TEF for info.

No worries, only going on a post from a gulls fan on TFF!

Was just wondering if any Swindon Fans could tell us anything about Ben Joyce, 19 year old striker you released this summer. He's on trial with us at the moment and scored 2 tonight in the first PSF.

Blair Sturrock looked ok whilst he was here, he was a clever player and had a good all round game, but was never outstanding. His partnership with Tim Sills didn't work as they both have no pace, so I was happy when we didn't go after him permanently.

injured ?

Jamie Vincent on (a football related) trial at Walsall.

http://www.themillers.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10360~1726420,00.html

are you Swindon in disguise!

What happened about Vincent's rumoured early hours fight with his Mrs?

Zaboub played for Hamilton Accies yesterday.

Sol Davis is on trial at Grimsby Town.

Jamie Taylor played against Supermarine for Bath City friday night, hes signed for them

Vincent won.

Jack Smith on trial with Millwall and is with them on their tour to Ireland.

A good move for him if it comes off, close to home and in the same division....good luck Smiffy.

who is jamie taylor?

Ex Swindon Town Player

Of all the players we released Smith is the one I would bet on doing well in his career.

Not to mention a better team :)

Only due to mathamatical order ;-)

Alphabetical, surely.

Haha what a dick

kanyuka's on trial at motherwell according to SSN

John Butty&Egg managing Malta...

http://www.uefa.com/competitions/worldcup/news/kind=1/newsid=852675.html

The head waiter at a hotel I was at played for Malta.  He was on the bench when they played Spain in a WCC whilst we were over.  Went to the match.  It was rubbish.

John "Butty from Greggs" was one of the singularly rubbishest(!) footballers ever to wear our shirt, even if it was for a total of about 90 minutes in total that he played for us.

Sturrock Jr on trial tonight against Wolves for, you've guessed it.  Walsall

chris taylor and kyle lapham both play for marine i think i remeber lapham playing a few games not sure about taylor though

Yeah Chris Taylor played a few then disappeared. Lapham got the Young Player of the Year did he not? Then didn't get a look in the following season.

Charlie Comyn-Platt is now playing for ECU Joondalup in the Western Australia State Premier Division.

they also both work with Bennett; he'd have a pretty good work 5-a-side team...

Charlie Henry was at the Steam Train last night... erm I mean the Manor!

Where does Bennett actually work???
Johno is back at the sports centre today which is great news!!
He was asking me which saddo brought the 5 years season ticket!! tee hee!!

i'm not allowed to say...

...but its Nationwide.

He hacks into peoples accounts then tells them how much money they've got.

How much have you got in there these days DV?

ask Bennett I suppose.

that reminds me, pay day today....

If you need reminding that its payday today then you have indeed got millions stashed away

 ;)

Maybe he is a thick cunt.

this time next year we'll be millionaires.

18.25  Torquay boss Paul Buckle is monitoring trialist Blair Sturrock's performances as he mulls over offering the free agent a contract.

Neale McDermott - released by La Louvière in the Belgian third division. Currently on trial with Gateshead.

O'Hanlon out of action till next year according to Beeb. Shame

think i  may have posted this in another thread a few weeks ago, crutiate operation

good.

hopefully he becomes a cripple.. ;)

Sol Davis looks like signing for the Franchise.

Sure this has already been posted by Lillian Nalis has signed for CA Bastiain in the French Leagues. I thought he was retiring?

It was assumed... Bastia is his local club so why not? Didn't we get Frederic Darras from Bastia?

[url width=700 height=253]http://www.ca-bastia-football.com/images/grandes-equipes/cfa-grande.jpg[/url]

Darras is another best forgotten - pure Gallic crap.

He wasn't that bad, remember Gary Elkins, pure toilet. :)

Went on to manage Didcot Town I think, dunno if hes still there though.

Darras was better in a back three than a back four, he wasn't really a full back.

Granted he was better than Gary Elkins but the bar is set so low that only a snake could get underneath it. He was shit.

just caught the end of the football league and saw mustafa carayol and jake hyde scored for their respected teams

The "CA Bastia" team that Nalis signed for is an amateur side - the second division side are "SC Bastia".

Here are a few other random ones I found when updating my site recently:

Chris Hamon:    paramedic in Jersey (and Afghanistan!)    http://www.thisisjersey.com/2009/02/18/medic-on-a-mission/

Micky Hazard:    signed for Dunton Green in the Sevenoaks & District League at the age of 49... http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/sport/Spurs-ace-joins-Dunton-Green/article-1202398-detail/article.html

Kim Heiselberg:    is a pig farmer:  http://www.erhvervssiden.dk/Kim-Heiselberg-460927.html

Petr Mikolanda:    if my understanding of the Google translation is correct - he dropped out of football due to illness - has had heart operations & two strokes, is on dialysis and is waiting for a kidney transplant:  http://fotbal.sport.cz/fotbal/ostatni/153291-mikolanda-ceka-na-ledvinu-a-touzi-po-navratu-do-velkeho-fotbalu.html

What a shame. Wasn't good for us but to have his career cut short like that is tragic.

He had a sports shop in the town for a while, but that went tits up.

Served him in Travis Perkins in Didcot about 4 years ago. Plasterer.

Albert Jarrett at Barnet.


Torquay   0 - 1   Barnet

Albert Adomah's audacious free-kick and a superb display by keeper Jake Cole earned Barnet victory at Torquay.

Adomah struck in the 27th minute, curling in a free-kick from wide out on the left following a foul by Chris Todd on Albert Jarrett.

Cole kept out winger Mustapha Carayol's shot and made a spectacular stop from Nicky Wroe's goal-bound effort.

The Bees keeper then stopped Carayol's in his tracks before tipping Wroe's 83rd minute 25-yarder on to the post.

Mustapha Carayol is at Torquay United :D

Also, David Duke is now playing for AFC Consett.

http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/non-league-football/2009/08/14/time-for-consett-to-get-out-of-blocks-says-lindoe-72703-24441309/

played against him a few times going back a couple of years (he has piled on some timber I tell thee) - he was playing for AFC Wallingford and his boy was in the same team

Hameur Bouazza just walked out of Turkish club after just 7 days and had his contract cancelled by mutual consent.  Didn't like Turkey apparently.

Gobble gobble indeed

So does that mean a French or English team want him?

The Turkish club in question is Sivasspor, who finished 2nd in their top flight last season - quite impressive for them.

Bobby Howe is doing up a house in newcastle

Fola Onion Banjo has had a trial game at Salisbury yesterday, he was fucking awful.

Should get a contract then!

Salisbury dont have any players do they???

Enough not to have to sign that useless lump. He played in the reserves and still looked out of his depth.

They will be raiding Victoria Hotel for talent at this rate!

Just had a look at the Gazette and it says Ady Williams has signed for Supermarine. Anyone heard this? or have I just missed another thread again?  :)

was in yesterdays adver

:)

I notice Chris Allen is now at Weymouth... Unsure as to whether it's been mentioned on here already.

Last word I think was on trial at Exeter City.

He was, but now with Weymouth on non-contract terms.

http://www.bluesqsouth.com/story/0,20970,6373_5502409,00.html

Big bad barry scored for exeter on saturday

Ex trialist yan kluklowski played for chippenham on saturday.  Word is he was shit.

4-4 draw wasn't it?

Apparently.  I was in the county ground.  Went today.  2 nil win.  Kluklowski on the bench and didnt get on.

He's THAT good :)

Yup.  He's got trials with melksham and biddestone lined up.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/mansfield_town/8231309.stm

Blair joins Mansfield.

"natural goalscorer"

hahahahahaha

And just after that the article says, "Sturrock, 28, had loan spells at both Bournemouth and Torquay United last season, scoring twice in 24 games."

I always liked Sturrock. He's honest, intelligent and hard-working. A "natural goalscorer" he is not.

Was Blair Sturrock at the County Ground on Saturday? I saw him get the train to Swindon on Friday night - thought maybe he was going to be our new 30-goals-a-season striker.

Good luck to him, I reckon he might do alright at Mansfield.

: Drop into League One and John Barnes' Tranmere Rovers have completed the signing of 30-year-old defender Marlon Broomes until June 2010.

Adi Williams was in Halfords about an hour ago.

Interesting they regard Swindon as 'a very high level'.

Think they might have some respect for us after that game at the CG in 2007? Fans, ground, team, support everything was good that day. We looked 4 leagues apart from Mansfield.

Good luck to Blair. Not many other players have played for Swindon for free in recent years. Part of a Promotion winning Swindon team!

Jake Hyde's just scored again...4 goals this season now

Saw a corking quote in one of the red tops at the weekend regarding the Barnes and McAteer combo at Tranmere.

Collectively known in the dressing room as Dumber and Dumber

Did anyone see the story in the Oxford Mail about J Beauchamp a week or two ago? I haven't seen it mentioned on here. I don't know how to put a link in either  ???

Getting tooled up?  ;)

He was with a bird and bought a foot shaped air freshener. stalkertastic.

There was a thread on it somewhere... I shall have a dig...

Edit: http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,35374.msg729616.html#msg729616

Thanks R4E....this thread passed me by. The story I saw was in the Oxford Mail and goes into a bit more detail etc.

Good luck Blair, hope you do well there.

Rhys Evans loan extended at Bristol Rovers, won't be wishing him luck.

Battery operated.

This is ace!!! this is the kind of thing JFW loves!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/lincoln_city/8233702.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/lincoln_city/8233702.stm)

Iffy sacked again. Shame for him, always seems a really likeable, smart guy who just got overpromoted to save money.

Patrick Noubissie is playing for Kettering Town.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/forest_green_rovers/8247103.stm

Dave Hockaday new manager of Forest Green. Good luck to him.

I wish him good luck too, brave choice as they've had an awful start, only way is up in the conference i suppose for them from where they are now (unless they get relegated at the end of the season).

Few ex-Town players mentioned in this article as a reporter has a trial with Gurney's Weston...

http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/content/twm/news/story.aspx?brand=Westonmercury&category=news&tBrand=westonmercury&tCategory=znews&itemid=WeED09%20Sep%202009%2015%3A15%3A17%3A837

No Paul Gadd spotted.

Jim Whitley - who had a short loan period with us - has been forced to hang up his boots after a serious knee injury.  Taken up show business and he is now touring the country in a musical "The Rat Pack Vegas Spectacular" where he performs as Sammy Davis Jnr.

i so want that to be true ronnie :)

100% true http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7255311.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7255311.stm)

That is the best 'ex player where are they now' story I've heard. The others will have to go some way to beat that.

You must believe KOT!!

fair play, dont think anyone will top that, wasnt he a central midfielder?

Didn't Roy Wegerle become a professional golfer?

Yup. Had a brother, Jeff, too, who also played for Man City I believe. No idea what happened to him since...

Edit: Wiki says he's still playing, at Northwich Victoria. Seems he fell quite a way in the latter part of his career.

Good to read that Jerel Ifil put in a Man of the Match perfomance against St. Mirren yesterday.

He's helped Aberdeen to 4 clean sheets in a row now.

Fair play to the Beast.

I could play in a back 4 with Mrs Goggins, Pob and Tinky Winky and keep a clean sheet against St Mirren though to be fair

Fairly Bob, I properly laughed at that!

The idea that Tinky Winky can defend to save his life is ridiculous at least  8)

They quite like our ex-captain ( :eek:) on their forum http://www.afc-chat.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24843 (http://www.afc-chat.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24843) though they appear to have noticed he can't pass much. We should have copyrighted "Beast".

Ben Tozer starting for Newcastle tonight. losing 2-0.

Hopefully we get 50 grand or the like for him playing. Although as the old board did that deal, he'll probably have to play 500 games before we get a fiver.

It's Tozer who has to captain England for the final payment isn't it?

And getting absolutely battered. Posh hit the woodwork 4 times, all over them, should have been about 8-0 if they could finish consistently.

Andy Caton back at North Leigh.

Again.

I used to enjoy watching Jon Gittens playing alongside Colin Calderwood. Interesting read on Wiki; I never did follow what he did after he left us to join Saints.

Jack Smith playing against us on Sat for Millwall, been doing quite well - didn't someone mention he was playing centre half for them ?

He played centre-back for the first game of the season, don't know about since then though.  Seems an odd move to me.

A bit short for that, surely?

yes he is still playing centre half and according to my millwall season ticket holding mate has been excellent.

He must be the shortest centre half in league football then.

Did Chris Allen sign for anyone after being released?

Weymouth.

Brez on trial with Crewe...

http://www.crewe.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=173581

Probably as close to Everton as he'll ever get!  Good luck to him though and I hope he gets a contract there.

Can't beleive Brezovan is struggling to get a club (unless its him being fussy)  According to the radio seems to spend most Saturday afternoon watching Swindon

We all know he's got some talent. Must be his attitude.

wasn't there a rumour he has a drinking problem?

anyway, john's spot on - he's not a great keeper but he's good enough to find a club somewhere. i wish him luck.

I must be getting quite slow these days, this post has just explained the name jayohaitchenn to me.  Its not exactly enigma coding but its foxed me up until this point.

Good luck to Brez, before the shoulder injury he was immense. 

I'd never really considered it before, I just assumed it was some strange Oyrish name or something, like Jay O'Haitchenn.  Whale Oil Beef Hooked. :-[

This forum is full of bopards.

Pat Kanyuka has joined Northampton for the 3 months

Brez didn't get a deal with Crewe, they are now trialing other keepers

Oh God. Do Northampton know what they are getting into with Kanyuka or are they just preparing for League Two mediocrity...

Northampton have confirmed they have signed Pat Kanyuka on 3 month deal ;D

He played well at Luton, once...

I also remember him looking rather offended when being asked to mark players at Huddersfield once also...

Just looking at Woking FC and happened to see that Wayne O'Sullivan was in the Hendon side that lost 5-0 to Woking in the last FA Cup round

"Sam-Yorke had another effort stopped by Reading before lively substitute Wayne O’Sullivan was sent clear for the home side. He managed to round Worner before tumbling over and the referee awarded another penalty, letting Worner off lightly by only booking him. However, O’Sullivan hit the top of the crossbar having sent Worner the wrong way."

He came through our youth team, made 80-90 appearances for us (and then similar amounts for Cardiff and Plymuff) before heading out to Australia and NZ.  He's been back here a couple of years and is obviously winding down

He was quite promising and skilful and already strating to lose his hair on leaving the youth team -  not a MacMahon type if I recall and probably played a little above his ability or confidence level.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_O'Sullivan

Hes still in Aus i think last i heard he was with our old striker Mitchell.

I thought he was too Leefer, i knew he was working over there for a while (after playing).

Having checked out the websites for the teams over there though, he's not with them.

And if this is correct seems to show that he is back in the country.

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=5952

It's not completely up to date but other google searches suggest he's moved back to Hendon, this only goes up to 2008.

Ok, i take that back.

http://www.hendonfc.net/servlet/Squad?method=view&id=33

This shows it's not him at all. Soccerbase.com is completely unrealiable then...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendon_F.C.#First_team

Also Bedford this has him as a forward...think its a different fella.....note Daniel Dyer in the team...cant be THAT one can it?

I don't think so somehow leefer... :D

[url width=160 height=200]http://www.hendonfc.net/images/staff/7.jpg[/url]

Cheers Sam!

One of my mates really doesn't like Wayne O'Sullivan....something to do with a girl.

He'd be very interested to hear if he's back in the country.

Looks like I've looked at Wiki and Soccernet to verify Wayne was indeed playing for Hendon and added to the sum of S**t on the net...so well checked.

Christy, if your mate is still worried about a problem about a girl, it looks like there might be some more probs in Newcastle, Australia where it appears Wayne is managing in women's soccer in the W-League at a televised level.

"ABC TV Match of the Day: Live ABC1 and ABC HD

Perth Glory v Newcastle Jets, Saturday October 10, 3:00pm (AEDT), Members Equity Stadium

Sparks are sure to fly in Perth on Saturday with the Glory and Jets to go head-to-head in round two.............................In the Newcastle camp, coach Wayne O'Sullivan is bringing in a number of new faces but the side has lost striker Tara Andrews, who is also away on international duty."

I read elsewhere that he had earned a 2 year contract as one of a number of coaches in I believe the A league which was due to expire last May.

Could be more shit reserach but on reflection a bit more plausible than turning up at Hendon as a striker!

Apprently Dave Mitchell is in Perth coaching too - relatives who have just moved out there Emailed me especially to tell me!!

Mitchell has been there a while.

jack smith signed a new 2 year deal at millwall

Paul Evans is moonlighting as an oompa loompa.

Pook scored a screamer on saturday apparently.

Where's Fatbury when you need him!

He was the screamer Pook scored!

Knowing Pook he was probably trying to bring a ball under control.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but Bobby Barnes is now deputy chief executive of the PFA

Hibs vs Aberdeen (Ifil playing and booked) from today is being re-run on BBC Alba (Sky Channel 168) for those who are a bit bored.

Just seen the Hibs goals on Sky. Check out Ifil's feeble effort for Nish's header.

Yep. Same old Ifil we knew.

Noticed when he did one of his darting runs out of defence before firing the ball into the crowd.

Did a Ian Herring play for us? Is it the same one that is playing for Northwich today?

Yeah he is, hes a top lad, he will get booked today!

Yeah they mentioned Herring in the commentry yesterday.

Saw a few familiar names yesterday, Mohamed at Bath City and Noubissie at Kettering

Got a long throw apparently.

Didn't have much else from the little I saw of him.

Thought he played well tbf considering he started his career as a left back back i thought he battled well.

He was my MotM.

That whole team did well, quite shocking that they are a blue sq north team. Got a tidy little ground there. The charlton keeper pull out one outstanding save!

Heard a rumour (texted from a number my phone doesn't recognise) that Commingues was at the game last night, talking about coming back on loan?

Anyone else see him there? (And if so, did you just text me?!)

Kaid Mohammed is currently missing chances from two yards and generally looking out of his depth for Bath City

Gnapka scored for Luton today

Carrick scored as well..

where is carrick nowadays?

Up north somewhere I think

Just some mickey mouse team.

Just seen Ben Joyce has gone on loan from Torquay to Forest Green.

Patrick Noubissie, Sol davis and moses ashikodi lining up for kettering against leeds

Ashikodi just threw a great little strop after he got subbed :)

See Nicholas give a pen away by fouling Hulbert?

It was Gnapka wasnt it?

No it was Andy Nicholas who looks about 38!!

i can see how u got the 2 mixed up, they look a like

yeah-my mistake,Hulbert won a pen against the pox.

From what i've heard, Tom Jones will become manager of West African national side Benin.

It's not unusual.

It's what beer and fags do to you...

Late night sessions and 5am driving escapades don't help either...

Brez is on a weeks trial at Brighton.

Lonergan has just let one it after 20 seconds against Blackpool!!


...and Bouazza just scored but was about 6 yards offside so didnt count!

So, you look 38 now Reg?

Hope he does better than at City - I saw this go in live...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6LchHkG-_8

I feel quite sorry for him seeing that.

I like the "oh no"

He's still better than Kuipers.

Goal Kuipers ?

Brez saved a penalty (which he also gave away) on his debt and kept a clean sheet!

familiar!

I wonder if Aberdeen speak so well of Ifill now.

From their official site in case anyone was wondering. I think Jerald must be his brother!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNjMilV-QCM

Didnt realise that 30 years ago this week when the Town drubbed Bury 8-0 a young midfielder gave a penalty away early in the match playing for Bury......Danny Wilson.

Jeez i feel old, i remember that game, and then travelling up to the wolves SF on the coach and laughing at a bury supporting lorry driver in the services.

Same as....took about 10,000 fans to Wolves.

I thought it was more? I can remember climbing a big chain fence to avoid a kicking after the game!

Another one like Bolton that got away.

Stefani Miglioranzi is now with the new MLS team Philadelphia Union

http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/Content3.aspx?cid=1.10.1

Does anyone know what happened to Anthony MacNamee?

[url width=357 height=480]http://www.sunday.ru/gmmfan/Coleman-Hasselhoff.jpg[/url]

Norwich thrashed Colchester yesterday and he still didn't get a couple minutes.

The Brazilian midfielder in the Philadelphia "roster" thought long and hard about his Brazilian nickname didn't he....

FRED

Not even Fredinio or Fredillia just plain old Fred :D

There was a Brazilian that played for Lyon who was called Fred. Wonder if it is the same player?

no, that fred is playing for fluminense in brazil

Shame Migz was so injury prone -

He signed for Swindon Town of the English Division Two in July 2002, after a successful trial spell earned him a contract. He appeared in 126 league games including playoffs (136 in all competitions), with Swindon Town in four seasons with the club. Miglioranzi scored nine career goals for the club before heading to the Galaxy in the summer of 2006. 1999-2002: Miglioranzi signed with Portsmouth of English Division One and spent three seasons at Fratton Park. He appeared in just 25 games during an injury-plagued tenure with the club, scoring twice. Prior to signing with Portsmouth, Miglioranzi had a three-month trial with Everton of the English Premier League

 :)

Only just spotted this Leefer....had no idea Wilson played in this game, what a great shout :)

A great week for Town fans as this game on the Saturday was sandwiched between drawing away to the Arse and beating the Arse at the CG. Good days.

What a great time that was and what a night beating the Gunners.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HBUUA2zYK8

I was there


that has just got me all emotional

Me too...my favourite home match of all time,the atmosphere was fukin incredible..fights kicking off all round the ground two...when Rowlands bundled that winner in is engraved on my brain and will be till i die...................the away match 1-1 was quality too.

Moses to Fatbury FC:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/ebbsfleet/8467407.stm

The Arsenal replay was the night before my Chartered Accountancy final exam, so I missed both games and 12 goals

Why?

Has Fatbury defected to his own FC?

And my fave game ever too! stunning game, full of emotion and atmosphere, god I really miss those great nights at the CG, I hope we get them back in the near future.

Brilliant night

Yep I was in the Town end like a sardine. Brill

I was too young to actually go to the game, but remember listening to it on the radio whilst in bed. I had my window open and could hear the noise from the CG at my house, which was in Coleview!

I actually went into the Stratton Bank for that game as it was a smaller queue, I asked a steward could I go into the Shrivvy Road Stand and he said yes and I worked my way round and finished the game watching under the floodlight in the Town End...happy days.

OTJ begins to get the hint that he probably isn't wanted at Carrow Road anymore....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/norwich/8470668.stm

A measure in the improvement in our side is that he wouldn't get in it now!

I thought he was crap when he was hear, and despite Welsh football being dire, was amazed he'd ever been considered for International duty!

Really, I thought he did a good job for us.

That said, that was the and this is now. As pointed out he wouldn't get into our team now.

He was better than Pook... that's the nicest thing i can say about him! :)

The Wales international, 25, was signed by former boss Bryan Gunn in the summer from Swansea but has been hampered with calf and groin injuries.



Says it all really


look forward not back

My favourite too, made all the better as it was my birthday :)

Not a player but Martyn Starnes off to Brentford

http://www.ciderspace.co.uk/ASP/news/news.asp?NewsItemId=11480

Wow! Transfer rumours for suits. The Wdp break all the big news don't they?

Ol Piss head Nicho has joined Mansfield from Rotherham.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/mansfield_town/8504340.stm

Didn't he have a loan spell at Mansfield while with us?

Nope it was Chester with us.

See that Cox was being played in a midfield role on Sat for WBA, and they have just bought in a striker from West Ham on loan, he must have done something to p off di matteo

Cox wasn't signed really signed by Di Matteo - he approved the deal when he took over but WBA were managerless when the deal was being done. Or have I got that all wrong?

That's how I remember it.  Not sure how much Cox would offer playing from midfield - not a lot I'd guess. 

Midfield being Centre mid or on the wing. I seem to remember him being a winger as well as a striker.

I suppose to be fair Sat & last night he setup their goals, he's been playing as part of a 5 man midfield in the centre I beleive - not sure how he's playing overall in that position though or why he's not up front

The ball he put through for last nights 2nd goal was sublime

'Pologies if this has already been posted elsewhere

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/shrewsbury/8508481.stm

bleugh

Pixie Bastard!

Jon Stevenson played football with me yesterday.

Peacock scored twice today, Obadeyi got one and best of all Tom Heaton saved a Neil Harris penalty.

you missed out ricky shakes and moses ashikodi for ebbsfleet

I felt neither were worth mentioning.

All the same.....

see Brez throw out cost Virgo a red card :-)....not sure if that puts him out of our visit the WD

Apologies if already posted.

Aaron Brown is currently without a club having recently been released from Lincoln City. He is currently on trial at Wrexham FC.

Aaron Brown just took a bus out of town
But i'm hoping that you'll stick around

Trevor Benjamin has signed for Bedlington Terriers.

Fola Onibuje has signed for Southport.

Just when it was going so well for Port - point off top with two games in hand. Ah well

Still got a soft spot for the homeland then Paul?

You can take the boy out of Merseyside .... I'd like to see Southport back in the Conference, yeah. Don't see them doing much once there, but you know.

Pook!

Fucking hell a hattrick!

But he'll still 'borrow' the contents of your home ?

Just read the match report on bbc - the most bizarre thing I've ever read.  Pook score a ten minute hat trick.

Cue Fatbury...

fatbury's probably wanked himself to death (hopefully)

I doubt if he has a cock, classical enuch syndrome candidate.

Saw the goals on SSN this morning, there was a couple of good strikes in there.

I still can't fucking believe he scored a hat-trick tho'.

All from outside the box!

There's a interview with him on SSN just coming up

Pook did have a decent shot on him (if fuck-all else), I remember a corker at Boston (think it was there). 3 in 10 minutes though?!?!

This thread is fucking ace.

That wasnt a shot.....just his first touch!!

Still better than Timlin or Easton ... glad to see he has showed what he can do in what can only be described as a difficult time at a struggling Cheltenham

second was an OG!!

better than Easton, unlikely.

It did take a massive deflection, but I would hardly call it an own goal. The winner was a fucking cracker.

obviously not.
There still here and youre human cum dump isn't....

timlin's shite end of pook was shite end of easton wont be here come end of the season so who cares

fatbury

 :cunt:

 :D  Very harsh.

The only other thing I remember him doing well was scoffing in a KFC in Bournemouth with Sean O Hanlon, about an hour after losing a game to the Cherries. I remember being pleased that they looked really fucked off - you do wonder how much they really care sometimes don't you, well certainly in those days.

Peter Thorne released by Bradford -apparently very popular there.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bradford_city/8570302.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bradford_city/8570302.stm)

A sad day - I love that man

Pook has found his level at a poor League Two club. It can be argued that his best season at Swindon was in the 4th Division.

However, it's March and this is pretty much the first time this season that Pook has done anything of note despite playing a decent amound of games.

Craig Easton was and still is a better player than Michael Pook.

hasn't pook had injuries this season?
i have no idea how well he's done, but his touch was always good.
his distribution let him down at times, which was his only real flaw.

All players go some time...he's had a decent run, and been around long enough and at a time where he probably won't need to work again.  So it's not really that sad.

Im in the facebook group "Peter Thorne can shag my mum" although to be honest Im not sure he would want to!!

You'd be jealous if he ever did... maybe he'd eye up a mother/daughter combo - major bloke points.

Said by someone who has clearly not met my 61 year old mother!!

She'll thank you for putting this thought in everyone's mind.  :-[

I thinks that's called a 'sportsman's double'

Is she on facebook? :D

No! She wouldn't even know how to switch on a computer!'

wow - she was only 17 when you were born?

to continue the trend of odd players getting hat tricks.

Claude Gnakpa scored one today for Luton!!

hopefully against the pox

In delightfully random news, Matt Hewlett came into my work today to talk to my boss, who's a Bristol City fan. After he left, I asked my boss why he was there and apparently he now runs a Sandwich store and delivery service in Bristol with his brother.

I told my boss the story about him leaving, but couldn't remember which way round the alleged issue between Gurney and Hewlett was- am I correct in thinking it was the way round you wouldn't expect? He (boss, not Hewlett) found it hilarious in any case.

From what I remember, Gurney was doing Mrs Helwett and then Matt Hewlett found out and then beat up Gurney and broke Gurneys wrist!

Which, made no sense.

i heard gurney did mrs heywood aswell saw them having a slagging match over the oasis

So that's where John Terry got the idea then

I love this story!

Ady Williams has today taken over as Bedford Town's manager. Brave move as they have no money and look to be going down from the southern league premier. Wasn't he as Supermarine? Only asking cause they won at Bedford last night so i guess the talking/offers went on then.

I went to the Dominos in Bedford a few weeks back!

Wow you live it up! Did you take in any of the other outstanding bits of Bedford whilst you were there? (the river is nice, the embankment part anyway).

Went to a gig in Bedford a few years ago, can't remember the place, but it was small, only could've held about 200 (if that).

Probably Esquires? It's the only decent venue we have, and it is small.

That's the chap.  Thanks. :)

No - Dominos was in a 70s style shopping precint with a market.

Luc Nijholt is now coaching the Qatar national team, this is probably the most interesting out of all the ex Prem players that I just looked at...

Matt Heywood has just been brought in to replace my wife's cousin's husband, following an op to play a seven a side league in Leeds.  I have no idea what job he does.

Jeril Ifil being led a merry dance playing at right back vs Rangers

Adam Willis is now a P.E teacher at Trinity Catholic School, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

Ifil picture in today's defeat.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/8609806.stm

He also has a kid with Danielle Bux (well, Lineker now, I think)

I bet the bitch makes him pay loads of dosh...

,,,,im not bitter!

Perfect description of Ifil here: http://www.bsad.org/gone/ifil.html

What the Dons fans think of him: http://www.afc-chat.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=28677

And finally something i'd pay serious wonga to see: http://www.afc-chat.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=29105&st=0

haha, poor Jerel.

Love this comment. Perfect Ifil:

"Everytime Ifil recieves the ball, the crowd groans, casps of 'oh sh1te' and within seconds the balls out of play for a opposition throw in and Ifil just lumped the ball back to one of their players."

I've never understood why Jerel's managers haven't had one member of the midfield whose job was specifically to go and get the ball from him.

Something along the lines of "right Dave, under no circumstances allow Jerel to play the ball more than 4 feet."

You've go to wonder what goes through his mind just before one of his punts "this has never worked before, but what the hell!"

50p toe capped boots!

Kevin Horlock is playing for a club called Needham Market who are just outside Ipswich where I live, they currently lie first in the Ridgeons Premier League.

ifil was always going to be found out.his distribution and touch was never going to improve.

I see Miglioranzi has joined new MLS club Philedelpia Union :

http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/Content3.aspx?cid=1.10.1

He's better than Zidane, he plays for Swindon Town.

STEFAAAAANI OOOH.

Matt Ritchie is making his debut tonight for Portsmouth.

Other than its his second appearance!

Jamie Vincent playing for tomorrows opponents Walsall, wasn't Sophie Zaboobie also playing for them ?

What about Super Sam?

oh right, bbc live text said it was his debut but may just have been his first start.

fucked off (in a huff unsurprisingly) to Scotland I think.

Sure i read somewhere, he didn't get on in Scotland and is now back in France.

He turned down a contract with Walsall as it was only a year to go on trial at a SPL side but didnt get taken on. He then went back to Walsall saying he would accept the contract they offered him originally but Walsall said "fuck off you didnt want to be here, we only want people who want to be here" and he has dissapeared

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/funny_old_game/6540901.stm

Spot the Zaboob reference.

"Take your gloves off for the lads."
Hereford fans to Swindon's Sofine Zaaboub. On a blazing hot day when players were stopping frequently for drinks, he was possibly the only player in the country to be wearing gloves! (David Tingle, England).

On the 7th July 2009 Walsall manager Chris Hutchings revealed that Zaaboub had left the club. Hutchings told the official website: ""I received a phone call late on Wednesday from Sofiene informing me that another club wanted to take him on a three-day trial. He was told that if he did not report for training as agreed his contract offer would be taken away as I only want people here who are committed to the club." 

The rest is history, as is Zaaboub's football career.

Boobie "currently unattached". Ohhh dear........

He didn't consistently produce did he. The game that stands out for me was Cheltnum away, I think it was our 1st away game the season after promotion, the Town fans were boisterous (still celebrating re-joining lge 1) & Sofi was really turning it on. I remember we were saying on the way out of that game that we'd never keep hold of him if he kept that form up. He didn't.

He had some dodgy skin condition on his hands apparently...

A bit off topic, but I think the way Sam's career has panned out is a real shame.  The player we saw had so much potential, he exuded class beyond his years and the level he was playing at.  I think early injury problems at Ipswich really ruined a great opportunity for him, and perhaps he has never really recovered from that.

I hope he gets on tomorrow, even if only for his usual 5 minutes. Think I'm right in saying it would be his first competitive return to the CG?

I'll give the bloke a standing ovation. Fucking legend and I'm genuinely gutted at how rotten his luck has been since leaving us.

I'd echo that. Sadly, it could be the last chance he gets to come back as a player. All the more reason to show our appreciation.

Yeh you're right, it's been a long time coming.

3 points for the Town tomorrow, and a Kammy-sized ovation for SSP would be just perfect.

Who you on aboot?

Depending on where your confusion lies, either Chris Kamara or Sam Parkin.

Well the thread had moved on to Sam Parkin..........and that's as much help as I'm going to give you.

Sod Parkin. I hope Vincent plays

Cox, Paynter and Austin have made the Parkin era quite distant for me now.

Parkin was both brilliant and committed to Swindon - but even he must wonder what the hell happened.

I think for me I will always remember the Parkin era. He was one of very few players that actually gave a shit about this club during some dark days under the old ownership. We weren't really very successful at all (except the play-off season in 2004) but he stuck with us for 3 years and kept banging in the goals. His attitude was top notch. I'm sure he'll get a superb reception today but let's hope he doesn't fucking score.

I hope Super Sam comes on - when we are ideally 3 nil up so theres no risk of him coming on and scoring a winner or salvaging a point!

Was it ever proved vincent slapped his missus about?

If so, cue the wifebeater chants

Like something has to be proven for a Football Crowd to chant it.

true

to the tune of 'where's you momma gone'

vincent beats his wife,vincent beats his wife!

Bermudan Kyle Lightbourne is currently player/manager of the Bermuda Hogges in the USL Second Division in the U.S.A.


Lightbourne's international cricket career consisted of 5 ICC Trophy games, during which he took 11 wickets at an average of 16.81.

For Parkin to hang around at STFC for 3 seasons, and bang in over 20 goals every season when the Club was in the state that it was in....

Until the current team started to get together over the last year and a bit (& Cox last season), Parkin stood out absolutely head & shoulders on his own when you look at the last decade or so. Not one single other player in a Town shirt has come even close to being called anything like memorable in a long long time. What Mooney did for that 1 season was (in my mind) completely nullified by his next 'career' decision. Some people say that Invincibile is a legend for THAT goal vs Peterborough, but he was an inconsistent, lazy fucking crim most of the time, and judging by what I saw on tv the other day (Kilmarnock/Aberdeen) he hasn't changed one bit.

Parkin gave us 1 thing to smile about - for a significant amount of time - during some grim ol' days.

Matt Ritchie's just come on for Pompey :)

If you haven't watched, his performance against Boro looked very good. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8628504.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8628504.stm)

Good goal he scored

Paul Edwards, who let us not forget was clearly too good for us, is now turning out for Barrow.

Malpas's Inverness Caley Thistle have won promotion back to the SPL at the first time of asking.

That must be an omen....

i thought he wanted to live up north, to be nearer family.

I think you are right Arriba, he couldnt settle in the south.

I also remember this being said at the time.

Tony Thorpe is at Halesowen Town in the same league as Chippenham and Supermarine, whereas Jamie Cureton's spell at Shrewsbury has yielded no goals in twelve appearances.  Cureton was an unused sub against Northampton on Saturday.  Shrewsbury's poor run of form this year has seen them go from play off contenders to mid table obscurity.

Oh is it the same bloke, I keep seeing his name in the papers up here and wondered whethered it was - could have looked on net but wasn't that bothered!

Andy Gurney has just been sacked as manager of Weston-super-Mare following their relegation from the Blue Square South.

Frazer McHugh is with Gedling Town in the East Midlands Counties Football League, where he plays as a midfielder.

Is it true that David Duke couldn't cut it at Highworth??

James Milner won PFA young player of the year award. His spell here must have helped!!

As he moved to Darlington after he left here then stayed in the North East to go part-time with Durham, no I very much doubt it

i see parkin's been released early from walsall.

http://www.saddlers.co.uk/page/News/0,,10428~2043258,00.html

since he left us he's scored 18 goals in 100 odd appearances over the past 5 years. whoever would have thought his career would go downhill like that?

Conference now for Parkin? :(

An unfulfilled talent.  Its a real shame.

This is true...... has never really felt at "home" anywhere else..... Maybe if he started somewhere and got a few he would get back in form. Sadly I think his career is near an end

perhaps the fact his ankle is fucked is more likely the cause of his downturn in fortunes rather than not feeling at home.

Yeh it's the sequence of injuries that have done for the poor sod. Ipswich's home fans thought he was a joke before he broke his ankle, but he'd had a decent start overall because but he'd banged in a few goals away from home. Without that terrible injury there's nothing to suggest that he wouldn't have been a hero for Ipswich & gone on from there - guess we'll never know for sure.

Gutted for him.

Fuck him. Greedy cunt.

 :D You never let me down.

Brezovan gets a 2 year deal at Brighton..
http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/Latest/0,,10433~2043525,00.html

Pleased for Brez - top bloke. Hope he's sussed out what the rainbow-signs mean above the pub-doors......

Mr Parkin has his fingers in many pies outside of football he's a sensible chap

He looks like he needs to lay off the pies tbh

With only Austin and Pericard (!!!) signed up for next seaon, we should most definitely bring Parkin home.

When he was warming up against Walsall, he looked trimmer than at any time here, no way is he a lardy these days.

Never go back. We're better than Sam Parkin now.

Aljofree's been released by Oldham after 1 sub appearance in 3 months.

Thats a pity, I didnt think Ajolfree was too bad before he was injured.

I'm sure he will find his level for next season

tee hee Im taking this happened after he boasted on FB about how great his life is and how it's " all coming together"

he'll get a club pretty easliy i'd think

are you friends with him?

I see that Jukebox scored a cracker for Motherwell last night, he wants to leave Everton and sign permanently for Motherwell as he only has a year left on his contract and hopes that Everton does not want too much for him, he has scored quite a few now and is really rated, looks like he has found his confidence

I can testify to that...he has been a huge success up here, and he wants to stay....Looks like Mulgrew is leaving Aberdeen...we were in for him a couple of seasons ago.  Assuming we won't keep Darby, Mulgrew would be a good replacement....tho it is said that rangers are after him.

A day of good new/bad news for ex-swindon players... Mostly bad...

SSP - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/walsall/8660511.stm

Maybe Amankawaah will have something to say about that

Cureton and Jokefree........ha ha!!

And his level. Hes done OK at the well this season TBF.

If he leaves for cheap then we have shit out as we has a sell on clause in his contract I understand.

Mulgrew is a left back, or was down here anyway.

He still is a left back and has played there all season for Aberdeen in that position, has been a massive success up in Scotland, his set pieces are excellent.  Would sign him if hes available and willing to come here for sure.

Whoops...thought he was right back...but then there's Caddis.  He seesm to have dropped out of the reckoning at Celtic again since lennon took over.  Not trying to undermine Manks who has had an excellent season by all accounts...but two decent right backs (including caddis who is flexible I think) would be good for the championship.

not really - he used to be my sisters neighbour so she was more friends with him than me but he added me on FB and Im a nosey cow! :)

Paul Sturrock being linked with the Shrewsbury Town job. Would have thought he'd take Ajofree with him if he got it.

That's a good shout, Large-Robert.

Neale McDermott been released by Gateshead

Good on him for his goal vs Shitty in the live game. Fucking worshipped his Dad when I was a kid, too.

That was a great finish - and a terrific game all round.

The BBC have the wrong picture of Cureton, that's Rowan Atkinson performing as Mr. Bean.

Kaid Mohammed apparently scored the penalty which sent Bath City into the Blue Square Prem. Woul be good seeing them against pox next season!

Ha, ha, only just seen this but yes the resemblance is uncanny. Still keen, JFW?

Wasn't he a STFC youth player? Sure he had dreads. Think I saw him play when my nephew was at AFCB

You're thinking of Ashan Holgate.

That's the one soapy tit wank

Anyone not at Millwall watch the FA Trophy final? Charlie Griffin playing for Stevenage and Robin Hulburt and Paul Edwards playing for Barrow. Griffin was stretched off after a Hulburt elbow, not sure how he is.

 :girlgiggle:

This is what the kids would look like.

Jesus that's scary!

Anyone see the League show coverage of Grimsbys last game?

Peacock looked gutted.

Poor sod.

Apparently Lee is contracted until the end of next season.

Rhys Evans released by Rovers.

Alan Sheehan offered up for nothing by Leeds.

I wonder if any ex players are going tonight?

At a guess i'd say Cox and Pook wil probably be there.

Paul Bodin?

Pkil King :)

Harold Fleming in spirit !......Nicky Summerbee drinking spirit !

I know he wasnt a player but...John Gorman has got a new job at the Dongs.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/milton_keynes_dons/8681348.stm

Don Rogers might be there tonight too.

How is the poor soul? Looked weak when I saw him last.

Barry Corr has been released by Exeter, Also Steve Adams & Ben Joyce have been released by Torquay.

Perhaps it should be the Don Rogers Sit  then ?

Sol davis out of MK.

Calum Antell is...

We often see him after a home game. He obviously hobbles (due to the hip problem that forced his early retirement), but I tell you what, it's a pretty fucking fast hobble! I enjoyed these comments from Palace fans re Sir Don, after only previously hearing/reading comments from Town fans about the Great man;

http://www.cpfc.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-43100.html

don is ok.apart from having fucked hips.
reckon ledly king will be in a worse state come dons age.plenty of ex foootballers end up as near cripples

Ralphy, I certainly wouldn't call the Don weak.  He is at most matches and does limp a bit but he is certainly not weak.

He's in the board room at all games and sits with Andrew Fitton and Jeremy Wray in the Directors Box.

Odd that his daughter and grandson sit in the Don Rogers...

I know I saw him play a few times but I can't remember it

David Moss is currently Chief Scout of Liverpool's Academy.

I think that Fitton gave Don an ambassador role etc on matchday's so he would be entitled to sit in the exec area, and have you thought his daughter and grandchild may want to sit in the DR stand .

Personally I think it is about time that Don was give some sort of official regcognition for what he done for the town all those years ago, his commitment to youth football now and to the town with business that he runs in the town.

I'd say naming a stand after him is a pretty big honour

Which stand is that?

C&D Town end

Barry Corr released by Exeter
Ben Joyce released by Torquay

That was quick work commemorating Friday's scorers.  ;)

That's nothing, BP has a whole gulf named after him.

Alex Revell still has L1 clubs who rate him then
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leyton_orient/8691971.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leyton_orient/8691971.stm)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/shrewsbury/8691880.stm

Ossie in Shrewsbury job hoax.

Mustafa Carayol signs for Lincoln.

On an unrelated night MK Mongs have signed Didi Hamman. Not played for a year as not had a club :D

Robin Hulbert

"On 8th May 2010, Hulbert played in the FA Trophy Final for Barrow AFC. He was sent off for a challenge on Stevenage Borough's Charlie Griffin at the end of normal time, in which he allegedly led into the challenge with his elbow, knocking out Griffin. Hulbert stated leading with elbows is "just a part of his game" – leaving Griffin with a needing stitches around his left eye, a broken nose and broken cheekbone"

Hal Robson-Kanu is on the bench for Wales in Croatia right this very minute (channel 134 on Sky, for anyone that's in need of a football fix).

Agreed but that is only recognised by STFC - I was suggesting him being recognised by the wider community

Wider community?

Perhaps a statue of Don Rogers covered in toffee.

jamie vincent just signed for another year at walsall

On a Walsall related note, does anyone know if any club has picked up Sam Parkin?

Parkin is still a free agent.

You don't have 5 shit seasons then find a club easily unfortunately.

I can see him ending up somewhere like Wrexham or Mansfield in the Conference.

I wonder if Sam could cut it as a coach with particular responsibility for strikers? If so, would STFC be interested? Might be a good appointment for PR as well as keeping all the "Bring back Sam'ers" happy, always providing that he was primarily useful as part of the coaching team. 

I'm pretty sure he doesn't think his playing career is over yet!

How old is Sam now?

He's 30

Just like you then love.

Probably mentioned in here somewhere even if it is old new. Christian Roberts was/is at Maesteg Park in the Welsh Leagues now.

Sammy Igoe has signed for Havent & Waterlooville

Jamie Vincent has now signed for Aldershot after being released from his contract at Walsall in order so he can be close to his family home in Berkshire.

I know someone else on here who would also love to play their football at Aldershot.

Good ground, Aldershot.

It has a terrace after all.

It's certainly the only ground where I've seen the Town players given a guard of honour by our opposing team. It was the next game after we'd sealed the 85-86 Div 4 title at Mansfield..........just looked that game up out of interest, and I note that Bobby Barnes and Gary Johnson were in the Aldershot team that night.

I remember that night well, a lovely touch by Aldershot, and IIRC they played Queen, "We are the champions" for us too on a warm early summers evening.

You have an impressive memory. I remember the sunshine and some good banter with the Aldershot fans through a big wire fence behind the goal.

Sam Parkin linked with St. Johnstone and says he may sign today.

http://www.web-fans.com/walsall/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=768%3Aformer-walsall-swindon-and-luton-forward-headed-for-scotland&catid=1%3Aas-it-happens

http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/output/2010/07/08/story15344826t0.shtm

Meanwhile Barry Corr has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Luggy at Southend once their embargo is lifted.

Hope he doesn't try to help lifting anything as his back is sure to go.

Akinfenwa is also signing apparently (ok he never played a game etc and failed his medical but....)

Alex Meechan is currently training with AFC Telford, having been released by Droylsden.

Can't believe he's 29 where has the time gone.

Hope he does well there next season.  He deserves a couple of years of playing regular football.

Mildenhall has just signed for the 'wall

Easton, Zaaboub and Sturrock jr. all officially joined Barry Corr at Southend today.

That squad is going to look a LOT like the squad we had when Sturrock got us promoted if he carries on the way he's going. This means Southend should do ok next year methinks.

Stevenage Borough have to have a youth set-up now that they're a Football League club - and Jimmy Gilligan is heading up the whole shabang.

In the biggest non shock story ever. apparently Blair is turning out in a friendly for them tonight!

And it's probably been mentioned before, but so is Easton.

Yes, in the post you replied to 8)

Fair play to Easton. Clearly left to play football

Yeah don't blame him. Did well here under Sturrock as well so obviously wanted to link up with him again.

Paynter scored his first Leeds goal today in their pre-season friendly on their tour.

Duh. I blame the pub.

Kicking off in half an hour, Stephen Darby is in Liverpool's starting 11 in the friendly vs Al-Hilal.

For anyone who's interested, it's live on Liverpool FC TV (Sky channel 434).

Edit: Match cancelled after a fuck-off downpour in Austria! Fingers crossed for Weds & Fri....

Only one? He'll be getting booed next match then. Not good enough for the mighty Leeds.

Incidentally, I couldn't help laughing at the fact that upon entering the Leeds website, I was met by Jonny Howson telling me that when you think of all white you think of Leeds United. Would that be the all white kit they copied from Real Madrid Jonny?

Nicky Summerbee playing for Man City in the Masters football tonight

And Fitzroy Simpson.

And Steve Lomas!!

Interesting piece on Hasney.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11979_6269099,00.html

Indeed. And a good example of why just about any player in Greer's position would have done exactly what he did.

He didn't fucking score for us in May when we were in all white

Absolutely.  Two people trying, ultimately, to look after themselves and their family - as we all do.

That piece about Aljofree had a link to the PFA list of free transfers.

Some interesting names in there - Joe Ayinsah anyone??

Anyinsah wants to move back to the West County too.

I'm surprised nobody has signed him yet, he was linked to Bristol Rovers.

That list is clearly a few days behind "real time", but it also includes Fabian Brandy and Liam Chilvers, so we could sort out a wide player, a striker and a centre back, just like that.

Step aside danny ;)

Easton as been made captain at Southend. Corr has also injured his back...

Unsurprisingly Rovers and Yeovil are after him.

http://www.southendunited.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10444~2094534,00.html

A bit like De ja vue  at Southend for Sturrock, players that dont want to play,no money,a dodgy board and Barry Corr has a bad back.

SO far the ex Swindon Town contingent at Southend

- Sofiene Zaaboub
- Barry Corr
- Blair Sturrock
- Craig Easton

Rhys Evans was in goal for Southend's 2-0 loss to Dartford over the weekend.

"Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade is running the rule over trialist Ben Tozer ahead of the new season"

Not a change of location, but Pook has been named as the new Cheltenham skipper, after the previous one fucked off somewhere else.

When he left here I said his football league career was over.  Its nice to see him proving me, and many others, wrong.

To be fair to Pook he looked pretty good for us when we were in League Two. Remember the goal he scored at Grimsby?

Well, not sure about the 'many others' bit  :)

 

I remember a top volley away at Boston that year, great move and a class finish

One thing that is without question is his attitude - something that I'm sure his manager is expecting to rub off on his teammates.

True - but I've always felt that the right attitude or work-rate shouldn't really be used as an attribute - it should be the bare minimum, a "given" as it were.  To me its just professionalism - trying your best to do your job to the best of your abilities.

Quite a few players seem to get by on this for a while.  Believe me, put me in a town shirt and my attitude and work rate will be fucking brilliant.  You won't like me though, because I'm shit at football.

That was the one I meant!

It may seem like a bare minimum to you and i, but the fact that we're debating whether or not it is a good attribute to have in a player means it isn't always there. I bet I can list as many talented players who haven't "made it" as you can list shit players with a decent attitude that have.

Remember footballers are people too, and playing football is their job. Everyone is different.

Strange. I always thought it was Pooks attitude that let him down to be honest.

To be fair it seems he has grown up alot since leaving us.

misplaced passes and dwelling on the ball were his faults.great workrate and attitude,and has found his level.

Lukas joining Coventry on loan with a view to a permanent deal, will be an interesting one to follow.

cool, i was planning to go to watch a game or two at the ricoh arena

My Cov supporting colleagues in Warwick are not renewing their season tickets this time around. They reckon it would be too expensive on neck braces now that Boothroyd is in charge.

Ex-Loanee Andrew Lonergan is wanted by West Brom, but PNE have valued him at £20m!!

Wasn't he shit in his one game for us (or something)?

No, common misperception

Yup, the 1-0 loss to Hereford was followed by a Wiltshire Premier Shield match, he claimed that his eyes went blurry and returned to PNE.

So, the answer is two shit games for Swindon :)

Isn't he partially colourblind or something?

Brilliant!

lukas won't be joining coventry it seems.

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/coventry-city-fc/coventry-city-fc-news/2010/07/22/everton-fc-reject-coventry-city-loan-bid-for-lukas-jutkiewicz-92746-26907864/

Mark Marshall is apparently joining Swindon Town Masters, I mean Southend United on trial.

Just watched that video of LJ's equaliser. Maybe we can get him back and forget any money etc the Toffees still owe us.

Tom jakulawski ( or something like that, was on trial with us last season) currently on trial with bath city

klukowski

Jon Stewart (GK) broke his leg on Pompey's tour of Canada

Ol' Klukowski started his career with Bath.

Rhys Evans has signed a one year pre contract agreement with Southend,

ben joyce has signed on at salisbury

the dole ?

might aswell be

i see you have not had a proper TEF welcome.

you cunt  :clap:

Why thankyou Carbonwhite, have you been here long ?

Seemed like the "in" place to be seen so I thought "why the hell not" !

fuck off fred thought you had gone.

about a year now  :beers:

I only came back to annoy the fuck out of you, you cunt

Matt Heywood spent some of the summer on trial with Gateshead.

Where all the swindon rejects are ending up

Blair Sturrock  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: bet he get's a 2 year deal

James Williams of Ipswich on TV fame is currently playing for Kendall Town..he is still only 28?
Think its the same guy anyway.

I see Southend have released their two french one. Laurent and thing-Christophe

Isnt one of them pretty decent?

Yeah, I can't remember which though. Laurent I think.

thing Christophe was sent off against us recently IIRC?

Terrible dive for a second yellow after a silly shirt pull - at home last year

Matthew "Monster" Heywood has signed a one year deal with Barrow.

http://www.barrowafc.com/newsite/club/news.php?article=614

Tudor-Jones has signed for Plymuff...

You may remember Simon Ferry, last years loanee. He has now signed for....Swindon Town. Wahey.

Solid player but never set the world alight for me and i did think that Narich would bomb him if they went up!

Or if he played! His Norwich career died with Gunn's departure.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_6295750,00.html

Gary Alexander has joined Brentford

Monster? The only thing monster about him is his man boobs. No doubt his pal Robin Hulbert had something to with this. I hated Matt Heywood...probably because he started on me in the Casbah for no reason once.

A bit like my grandfather then. That would be your great grandfather. :D

What the fuck are you babbling about you fucking bopard?

:gay:

McNamee's on the bench for Norwich tonight.

I see Norwich are making their normal start to the season...

Andy Nicholas has joint Matty Heywood at conference side Barrow

Beer sales in Barrow will go up then....

Should that be Barrow, or Barrel ?

Barrow eh...maybe they will wheel away in triumph if they ever score.
Incidently Barrow in Furness has got to be the most depressing place i have ever delivered to....hang on though there is Workington up the road that might just shade it.

Barrel in the Furnace..

BTW Leefer it's in Furness...

Thats what i said Reg!.....though there could be a few foundary's there.

Indeed...quite likely. I've never been to Barrow, I'd like to go one day, as I understand it, some of it is on an island...Walney island.

Down the years I've tried to collect as many British Isles as I can....not sure how many there are must be hundreds if not thousands...I've done a fair few, but some glaring omissions.

I've been there. It was cold, but fairly pretty for a northern town. Houses are fucking cheap up that way too. I saw one for less than £10k and this was around 2001.

Didn't realise that Reg...of course going back centuries there were alot more islands i presume especially the east coast ware the sea used to invade the land.....modern landscaping has aloud us to dam the dodgy coastlines now.

Were you on a Space Odyssey?  See Hawking has said mankind and womankind I suppose must move to space, within the next century, or our species will die out...

You're weird.

Chris Allen has joined Supermarine, how this guys career slumped.... He was "the next big thing" at one stage.

Not half as weird as Stephen Hawking...

Has just scored on his debut against Hearts for St.Johnstone.

this is a good post for the ex swindon players where are they now thread.

Hearts are winning 1-0?

He plays for St.Johnstone, just made it 1-1

I know who he plays for.

Hadnt come up on Sky Sports when I posted that. My first point still stands though.

I hope he has a good season. Can see him going to a non-league team otherwise.

According to Sky, St Johnstone scored first and Hearts equalised straight away. Right on the stroke of half time. Not that you I or anyone else cares ::)

Is there going to be a thread everytime SSP scores?

knowing crispy yes!

Does it fucking matter? There seems to be a thread every time someone makes a sandwich or fancies posting their top 5 fruits.

I would be in agreement if there was 10 threads on the same subject on the go, but there isn't.

I'm making ten threads to piss you off

 :D

Well I think it's good that people like Crispy can still be enthusiastic about football even when we're not playing very well. Sure, he sometimes seems a bit over-excitable but he's hardly a spastic cunt who posts in text speak.

stfu kk?

Lukas Scores for coventry

Jukebox just scored a late equaliser for Cov

BBC Alba (Sky channel 168) are re-running the game in full now.

Greer was sent off,apparently

Cox on the bench for Baggies v Chelsea.

wrong way round, good header

sign him up

Yeah, just saw the goals and realised I should have been reading it from bottom to top ::)

Pompey and Leicester are leading the way to get Frank Nouble from West Ham on a season long loan.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6318065,00.html

They can have him!

I heard Swansea were after him too, what with Brendan Rodgers having him when he was in the Chelsea management team.

My mate who had cash on Parkin to score first did!

Heh! heh!

Never mind ;)

They must be fucking desperate !!!

Nouble will score goals. I stand by that.

He done well for the U-21's scoring a few - he may have looked like dogshit here but he may be able to crack it elsewhere

Lincoln have just agreed a fee of up to £35,OOO for Mustafa Caroyal from Torquay.Think he was a Dennis Wise signing

Once he gets a football brain he will probably be a class player.  Unfortunately we got sent a couple of good young prospects last year who had power, pace and a certain amount of skill yet need to be sharpened up in terms of footballing brain.

Now thats fine for a team in mid table safety but not for a team who were pushing for promotion.

He was shit for us.

He's obviously not that bad, Chelsea signed him on, then he went to the Ammers

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/8925044.stm

"Meanwhile, Lennon revealed that striker Ben Hutchinson could be going on loan to Lincoln City. "

He'll love that.

Cant even see him doing much of a job in League 2

Parkin vs Ifil in Scotland today

Charlie Griffin just scored for Stevenage

On BBC Alba (Sky Channel 168) for anyone interested.

watched a bit of it, what dire quality football, heard Swindon mentioned a couple of times tho.

This is shit

Scott Dobie, Scott vernon, jerel ifil, sam parkin, jody morris, michael dubbery, peter enckleman

It really is a place mediocre football league players go to die

And earn easy peasy money.

Is Danny Invincibile still at Kilmarnock?

Yep

On BBC Alba Jerel Ifil is up Sam Parkin with St Johnstone taking on Aberdeen.

Also playing is Peter Enckleman, Michael Duberry and Jody Morris.

I bet scott dobie comes on half way through the second half...

Aaron Brown vs. Lee Peacock in the Blue Square this evening.

Easton equalised for Southend vs Wolves.

Robson-Kanu scores for Reading

Paul Ince was at Hartlepool's game tonight... Surely not set for the job?

Wigan job...maybe?

Marshall scores for Barnet and the best player on the pitch according to SkySportsNews.
Hutchinson also scores for Lincoln.

Glad for Marshall....always had a good attitude for me.
Think the unfortuanate death in his family probably set him back at Swindon,didn't really get a look in here but good on him.

Scored one made one.  Really happy for the guy.  I always thought he was better than macnamee. More business like.  Talking of the step over king does he get a game for norwich?

An unfortunate death? Very sad to hear,I never knew that, do you know who? Macnamee is usually used as an "impact sub", I was talking to some Norwich fans and their still not sure about him after all the time he's been there. This season he's either come on around the 70 minute mark or been an unused sub.

It was his mother if I remember correctly

Fuck, had no idea that happened to Marshall :( I was pleased to see he'd scored. Great attitude, shame he left.

Robson-Kanu scored for Wales U21

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bolton_wanderers/8976863.stm

Ward signs a new 3 year deal at Bolton

As an unofficial king of cool... I'm currently at Newcastle reserves vs. Liverpool reserves.

Stephen Darby is starting. Ben Tozer misses out to Sol Campbell.

greer out for 2 weeks with calf strain :)

Hahahahahahahahahahahah

His Brighton career is going well then

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/coventry_city/8988031.stm

Ward has finally signed for Coventry. I reckon he's stalking me.

Brian Howard with his missis shoppping in Asda Walmart Swindon.

I believe Frank Nouble is joining Plymouth on loan.

1. How does a youth loan  compare to a normal one?
2. If it doesn't count towards your loan count did we do that with a few players last year?

yeah i found that strange as  hes 18 and can sign a full time contract, if he signed on a youth loan then when he was with us that must have been what we did as he was only 17 when he joined

According to the local rag, he played started wide right and ended up in central midfield for Coventry at the weekend

McNamee starting for Norwich tonight.

Got MOM v Barnsley at the weekend.

Ward was taken off with an injury after half an hour tonight.

From what I've read the player can be recalled to play in the parent clubs reserves, whilst on loan. Not too sure if it counts towards your loans for the season though.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3135547/Glenn-Hoddle-and-the-Spanish-team-thats-full-of-Englishmen.html

Good article on Hoddle's Academy.

Good read that.

Fook me he's gotten old quickly.

Was speaking to Hoddle at Wentworth(golf) this year,was with his agent and didn't think he would bother chatting to little ol me.
What a nice suprise when he gave me two mins and told me he has great memories of his time at the Town.
Still seemed to be dressed for the 80's though!

Now going to Swansea for 3 months

http://forum.planetswans.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=83764

Anyone would think they've just signed Ronaldo

When they activate my account I'll tell them how shit and lazy he was

It seems that just about every player that left Swindon during the summer is now injured.  The curse of leaving the County Ground!

Has Greer managed a full 90 minutes yet?

Not that I know of. He's earning his money!

They're all in cloud cuckoo land. I bet Swansea won't extend the loan in the new year.

I've just told them he's crap and lazy

It's not even confirmed anyway

He was at West Brom before us and apparently he was crap there also, so he's got history.
