I know Honduras isn't the biggest or best footballing nation in the world,
They have qualified for the last 2 world cups which is a damn site better than a nation closer to home.

We could't have black shorts as we have black shorts for the home kit. Socks and shorts must be a different colour from the first choice.

It's a cracker.

Big french lad .... striker ..... capped by Togo ..... Emmanuel Adeybayor

Magnay is interesting. Either Archie thought him to be not good enough and has let him go rather than make a panic purchase, which suggests that all is well and there are plans in the pipeline
or
Grimsby offered him a better deal and we have lost a key target and we are doomed !
My money is on the former.

And yet County suppprters seem more forgiving and patient compared with ours. I wonder why that's the case.
Are you suggesting that we sign up some sheep to put on the land between the ground and the canal ?
-
Aye, that's what I'm trying to say, FIFA consider it to be the same team playing under a different name, hence the team has won 4 world cups.
Struggling to think of an analogy in club football where a new club has taken over the history of a defunct one. Must be one somewhere, but I just can't for the life of me figure it out.

Call me a sad old pedant but .....
.... Why do all of the media call this Germany's 4th World Cup victory ? It is their first. 1954, 1974 and 1990 were all won by West Germany
I wish they would get it right as it pisses me off.

Gabby going on loan is intreguing. Like others have said it suggests that there are some deals that are close. Not sure that Cregg would be considered a central defender, so Magnay and one other perhaps.

Mustoe has had loans to Barnet, Morecambe, Carlisle, Bury, Wycombe amd Morecambe again, so he has experience at a reasonable level. I'll see if I can find out more as I know a few Wigan supporters.

My wife doesn't kick off as often as Brazil

We were a long way behind 6th last season and recovering that gap in 1 season may be too much. I would settle for 10th or better but closer to 6th than last season.
-
Francisco Sandaza ex Dundee Utd, St Johnstone and Rangers striker has left 2nd division Spanish club Deportivo Lugo. He says he has had interest from 3 Scottish Premiership clubs
I think we can count out Rangers and St. Johnstone. Probably burned his bridges there.
We could do worse

Awsome research must have gone into that. A great summer read.

I know it is not a great Brazil team, but I've not seen anyone in this World Cup who are much better. With home advantage I think they will probably win it.
As for Fred, he is not the best Brazilian striker ever (although I do think he could do a job in the SPL if he wants to join the Jags) but I don't think he is as bad as is being made out. What he does is keep a high line so that the defenders have to hold back and that makes a gap between midfield and defence for Neymar Jr to exploit. Look at what he does off the ball and not with it and you will see there is more to his game than just poking the ball in the net. (I still wouldn't pick him in my World Cup XI)

Know what. It doesn't actually matter if I (or anyone else on here) am impressed with Barr and Magnay. It doesn't matter how they got to where they are. What matters is what they do at the training camp, how they impress Archie, how they perform with the medical staff and, most importantly, whether Archie and Shaggy think that they will improve the squad. How ever much we like to think otherwise, our thoughts don't actually count for much. Archies job is on the line based on how the team performs, so I trust him to make decisions that will benefit the team and I welcome all he signs (even Luis Suarez if he were to bid) until they prove different on the pitch when the real action starts.

Got to be worth a look. Did he not get a cap for Scotland ?
I'd certainly want the physios to give him a thorough check to make sure he is fit as we can't afford a defender who is only fit for half the games
-
I think we also need a false number 9. Everyone has a false number 9 these days, so maybe we need one too. Then again, maybe Mukendi had that role last year.

Have to agree. We didn't miss out on Taylor. We never stood a chance. I'm not sure that of all the players being signed up by other clubs that we have "missed out" on anyone. We got the big prize we wanted in Stevenson and I fully expect a couple of players to come back from the training camp who will be able to talk to Gabby and Collina in their native tongue.
Archie will get it sorted.

It would probably sound better in our good lady Isobel's plumby accent but ...
I think that Luis Suarez conduct is an absulute disgrace. I have no idea what he said to Mr Chielini, but it is frightful bad manners to speak with your mouth full.
-
I would hace certainly included some sort of massive suspended sentence (maybe a 2 year global ban) to be effective on any repeat offence.
I think that the 4 month ban is a bit light, but FIFA could be open to a legal challenge from Liverpool if they come in too hard. Maybe add a lifetime International ban or a ban from 2018 qualifying/finals.
-
Also, if Uruguay lodge an appeal tomorrow, Suarez can still play on Saturday v Columbia
-
4 months total football ban and $112,000 fine.
Luis Suarez has disgraced himself and his country.
FIFA have got this one right.
Have they got it right ?
A 10 game ban for the second offense
A 9 game ban for the third offense
The ban should have been much longer. At this rate if he bites another 9 times he will get away totally free.

Is the pink on the collar and trim of the keepers jersey an indication of what we might see in the away kit ?

I expect he will have spoken to Izaguerri and will know what he is letting himself in for. As said, he needs first team football and he knows someone in the town.
