Mowbray said from the start signings would be coming in around the 1st of August. I was genuinely surprised at the level of moaning and panic, enough for the trust to make a statement!
I still can't get over that they actually made a statement because we sold a 25k player

Been chatting with a Bradford supporting mate lately. He had tis to say about Reid:

'Reid is a bit of a cult hero, tons of pace and a decent strike on him, he can weigh in with a few goals. Be prepared, however, to be frustrated with his hit and miss crossing after he's beaten his man and his occasional dips in form.

In short, a very good winger for this level, i would've been happy to keep him.'

Good signing for me, some of the goals I just watched from him are pretty special.

Seen plenty of Bradford posts a bit gutted to not have gone for him. Good signing with reports there may well be more tomorrow.

Bradford fan here, just thought i'd give my two cents on Reid.

He was well liked by most fans despite being entertaining and frustrating in equal measure.

Yes he's very good at beating defences and getting to the byline, but his crossing isn't just hit and miss, it's atrocious. Prepare to be amazed as he skins two or three defenders to get to the byline...only to cross it into row z missing an unmarked striker in the box.

A good winger for this level.

I'd like another striker, although we don't know what K Thomas is like. If we're intent on playing wing backs I think we need one each side.
If we don't give George Thomas some time this season, he will be off just like Sambou was.

Sounds like the sort of player that the brain dead element in our support will be booing before the autumns out

You mean the building 'firm' I own? Right, what we doing then......Basements, Extensions, Bricklaying, Plastering, I tell you what Samo, I reckon he's fucked!

Wow! You own a firm? We're all soooo impressed. I bet you don't have as many suits as SBK though?

You're not very good at it either are you Samo. Guess you're more of a caddy too. Never mind pal, I'm sure you'll find your calling one day. In the meantime, keep stalking me and you never know, you might get to kiss my hand one day.

I own 1 suite(8 seater leather corner Suite, very comfortable too) Samo, but I did own 9 suits till they were auctioned off to help a family that lost their young soldier son who drowned.
Anything else you'd like to know "Gattling Gob"?

Seriously though Gent, tell us more stories of the noble savage rampaging through city streets with his club at heart and his comrade by his side. Ah the loyalty, the honour... It puts those Tommy's in the Somme trenches to shame. :smuggrin:

Fine.....It was on this day in 1898 when we were playing the Sherbert Dib Dabs, a well known firm from down the lane and up the road a bit. The were well known for swinging from the rafters of the stands and were led into battle by a big white but very hairy man called Monkey Belly. His arms were 4 metres long (something to do with all the swinging i reckon) and he would swing along the roof and then drop down shouting "The Dib Dabs are gonna get ya". Anyway, we were playing them at our place with (which incidentally had no roof so straight away we thought we had them) and they thought they would catch us on the hop by turning up early. But we had an ace up our sleeve, we went over to their place and followed them here and when they came running out of the station we opened fire with all of the muskets we had, once we had used all of our shots, our leader (a very big very handsome man who only went by the name of 'The Gentleman') (oh and can I say very well hung too) shouted "Fix bayonets" and then we charged right into them, scattering them everywhere, which was a good thing as there was 12 of them and we only had 450. And that is how we got the name 'Legion', not because of the heroic Foreign Legion or any other Legion you can think of but because this all happened next to the British Legion. Come back next week for another tale.

That took a lot of effort... are you sure I was worth it? :p

Very happy about this signing.

He kept ripping us apart when we played at Bradford. IIRC he also put in a cross after yet another good run down the left wing to an unmarked player when RCC saved us.

His crosses might not be on the button each time. But if they were he would be playing at a higher level. I can see him being one of them players that could have done better but still becomes a player we love to watch. His runs will create panic in our opponents. And if we have a player or two that knows where the back of the net is I can see us having a big season.

This is the quality signing that I have been waiting for to go with Sordell. I have just put money on us E/W 16/1 to win this division. I have also taken us @ 5/1 to get promoted.

No effort at all Samo, just took it from a chapter that I wrote for Cass Pennants 1036th book on hooligans. Besides, it'd be cruel not to give one of my stalkers what they want.

Anyway, as much as I've enjoyed this evening girls, I've stuff to do so speak soon

Nah you wrote it just now because you got a bit cross. Bless.
