    Racism

    Don't have a problem with it personally, if my kids come home asking questions i'll answer them. One of the key reasons to teach history is to explain the modern world more fully by describing its past and how it has come to be that way. If kids better understand that then hopefully there's a...

    Strikers Who Came Good

    Amazing really, that if you play someone out of position they generally aren't so effective! Did we even have Hughes playing right midfield at times, or have i imagined that? Having said all that, i don't think AM did much after leaving us either, other than one good season with Blackpool...

    Strikers Who Came Good

    Andy Morrell was another striker that we kept playing as a winger for some unknown reason. From what i recall he was a very hard working player but not especially skillful and i dont think he ever broke double figures in a season for us (plenty more strikers like that over the Championship years...

    Joyce v Zhang

    He looked off just walking to the ring, i just dont think he's got the skill to compete at this level sadly. I hope he calls it a day now, he's durable but being so easy to hit is not good long-term

    Joyce v Zhang

    I don't much like the look of this

    Joyce v Zhang

    Joyce looked like he had absolitely no idea what to do with him last time, going to need a huge improvement to win (which i hope he finds). I've repeatedly doubted Joyce and hope he proves me wrong again tonight, i just fear he's too slow and way too easy to hit, granite jaw or not.

    Joyce v Zhang

    Crunching uppercut from Itauma on the undercard there. He looks quite the prospect at 18.

    Ellis Simms Going Forward

    Robins made some comments about Simms needing to work a bit harder (or maybe adapt something in his game I can't remember exactly) almost immediately after we'd signed him didn't he? That may be affecting him a bit whilst he gets used to what Robins and Viveash want him to do for us and he will...

    WW2. War started for Britain on this day.

    Sanghera's book is indeed worth a read, i'd also recommend the Empire podcast by Anita Anand and William Dalrymple, the first series focuses on the British involvement in India but they've covered the Ottomans, the Slave Trade (from pre-historic societies right through to the trans-atlantic...

    Expect another delay

    Nothing for us but i do know someone that ordered on the 14th and received their shirts. I think they arrived last week, regardless there are certainly some being delivered.

    Parking

    It's a fiver 'on the gate' at St Finbarr's. Bit of a walk but will be cheaper than anything else i am aware of closer to the ground.

    Wages

    I can't imagine our income (outside of exceptional player sales revenue so far this summer) will have risen in line with the wages we are presumably now paying both on and off-field so yeah, bigger losses unless we continue to make mega-profits on players. I don't recall if King said loans would...

    Transfer Rumour Simon Moore

    Really depends where his head is at. Technically he'd be a real asset at that level but if his confidence is shot he may need to drop lower (but his wage demands might be an issue in that case). Difficult situation for all concerned really, he needs a move and a decent run somewhere but he's a...

    Chief Operating Officer

    A brief look online seems to put the position in the 80+ per year bracket, some more like 150k too. My assumption earlier looks way off the mark and probably stems from the club being run on a shoestring for so long (on and off the field)

    Chief Operating Officer

    I think it will be less than that but complete guesswork on my part, 60-70 maybe? Which wouldnt be enough for me to want to do it to be fair, sounds like it would take a huge time commitment.

    Boxing 2023

    Seems he got alot closer than i thought he would. All the controversy inspired me to watch Golota smashing Riddick Bowe's ballbag to bits (twice). Absolute masterclass in that, admittedly niche, area of boxing 🤣

    Chief Operating Officer

    I hate job adverts that don't feature a salary. "Competitive"....tell me what it is and i'll be the judge of that. Job sounds pretty full-on.

    Howley to Dundee on loan

    Looks a good loan for him if he can get a decent number of games. Given the number of players ahead of him in midfield he's far more likely to get a look-in at Dundee and it's about the right level to see him progress.

    Player ratings v Sunderland

    Which i feel sums him up so far, plenty of time for improvement if he can get a decent amount of time on the pitch but that's getting tougher this season i think. The timing of some of his tackles is impressive, good squad player at this stage.
