Has this story been confirmed anywhere else? Not to question Cov Mad, but I'd like to see the story in more than one place.

There's no way Quirke was selected with the hope that he'd have a terrible game.

There was never going to be much change within a year; if this campaign is to bear fruit they have to be looking at a gradual long-term change. One thing I agree about is that players continue to get away with 'little' things like manhandling players and mouthing off. I wonder if an edict was...

He's one of the best keepers I've seen represent us and I'll be sorry to see him go. I agree with macca's point that a striker is harder to replace though, so if it was a straight choice between keeping Westwood and King I'd keep King.

No truce needed! We weren't exactly arguing or screaming abuse.

I agree. The notion that Westwood doesn't want to play for us is an insult to a player who's given his all whilst honouring his contract with us, and seems hypocritical if it gets as far as turning on a player due to a perceived lack of 'loyalty'.

I'm sure that was their original plan, but such plans need money and with crowds dwindling and the entire planet going into financial meltdown, their football expertise doesn't really bear much relevance when they're having to recoup money from player sales and prop up the club itself. Put Pele...

There's a sense of inevitability to all such sales, but if they're being down to preserve the football club then I'll grudgingly accept them. I just don't think SISU are somehow trying to sabotage the club or doing anything out of spite or similar. I'm sure there's truth in that we had...

Who says Westwood doesn't want to play for us?

That is my logic. Ranson was being lumped in with big bad SISU as someone who's not to be trusted and isn't telling the truth, and suddenly he's gone and telling us about these potential transfers we heard NOTHING about and yet the same people take it as gospel, seemingly because it allows...

I think there's a bit of that. It seems suspicious to me that the outgoing chairman who's open to a return on the good ship Hoffman tells the fans the kind of thing that makes him a valiant superhero and the owners comic book villains. People who were highly sceptical of anything Ranson said as...

Whilst we're concocting fantasies, in travel news the magical road made of pixie dust that leads to Carrow Road is freshly relaid ready for us to drive our robot cars with free petrol.

Wickham's already been linked with the likes of Spurs and multi-million pound transfers, he's long since disappeared from our radar. If we're talking reasonable, I'd be looking towards players wanting out of their relegated sides so Lonergan and Murphy stand out. I like Josh Wright at...

I always thought the same, until I found out the exact measurement and instantly lost an inch, something that usually only happens when I've been in a cold swimming pool.

Remember how any time our manager would win the monthly award it'd pretty much guarantee our downfall? Maybe King missing out is a prelude to him signing that contract. If so I hope we never win any of these awards ever again.

1ft = 30.48cm, which would make him a shade under 6ft. http://www.ukmicentral.nhs.uk/resource/calcs/feet2mtrs.htm?feet=6&inches=0&convert=Convert Result: 6 feet 0 inche(s) = 182.88 cm(s). http://www.simetric.co.uk/metres_to_feet.php 182.2 cm =5.9776176ft (decimal) = 5' - 11 (7/10)" (feet...

If you were to ditch all youth players who you didn't know for sure would be great, who'd you be left with? Who would anyone be left with? The idea that Michael Quirke should be thrown by the wayside as a young goalkeeper is bewildering. Campos was good enough to gain over 100 international...

I don't doubt he's leaving, but I've heard theories on him not playing going from Thorn spitefully leaving him out if he didn't sign the contract to Westwood pretending to be hurt. Both theories insulting to either Thorn, Westwood or both.

He's also out of the Ireland squad now, so hopefully that puts paid to the speculation of his exclusion on Saturday being anything but a legitimate injury.

Jorge Campos was 5'6".
