I’ve been out in my little inflatable all afternoon and had a few stumpys whilst fishing and watching the black kites. I’ve also never seen so many swans in one place. We prepared the evening meal before going out on the boat. Put it on to cook and have run out of gas. 🤣🤣🤣 Having to settle...

He would have been even better if he knew the offside rule. 😜

We did this recently and I got a few shocked reactions when I mentioned Bernie Slaven. 😜

That might be the case for a journeyman footballer, but I would say manager influence plays a huge part in attracting young players. I know this was the case with my cousins lad and he went to a club for development rather than wages.

I agree that the location and salary plays a huge part in a player choosing a club, but also the chance to play for a manager who had played at the top level also is an influence on the players decision. Our own Tommy Conway jumped at the chance to play for Carrick and Liverpool were quoted in...

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. It is always difficult when you lose a parent and no words will take away the pain you are feeling. Look after yourself, give yourself time to grieve and remember, we are all here to support you in anyway possible.

I’ve got to agree and hope this is not the calibre of player we are going to buy.

An interesting and lesser-known fact about General George Armstrong Custer is that he graduated last in his class at West Point in 1861—34th out of 34 cadets—yet still rose to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers at just 23 years old during the Civil War.

He wasn’t a bad player Wyn Davies with over 611 league appearances to his name and capped 34 times for Wales. Thanks for the memories. RIP https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c89e291l80eo

A pretty honest interview and he seems focused on the season ahead. Let’s hope he can stay fit.

Am I right in saying it is already 16 in Scotland and has been since the referendum?

We will just have to wait and see. 🤷‍♂️

We’ve done that. 😜

There’s a local bar you should take in called the ‘WeeGord Arms.’ I’m told the landlord stocks various real ales with a good selection of music. 😜 If you are lucky, you can also take in a concert/folk night from the Bard of Northumberland. 😜

He did mention high intensity with a quick transition. That to me sounds like playing the long ball to the frontman. I could be wrong.
