    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    To me, it just felt like a PR exercise in touting their player, when Red Star ‘confirmed’ Stamenic was coming to us. Hence why other offers suddenly came in and trumped ours.

    Things that annoy you

    No apologies required, mate. I was just clarifying that some instances of people switching from English to Welsh in front of predominantly English speakers, can be a cultural thing or a dialectic thing. 👍🏻 However, yes, sometimes it is intentional and ignorant. Luckily I know enough basic Welsh...

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    As for ‘bedwetting’, no, me neither. It’s irked me a lot, just on the fact he’s clearly a very, very good footballer, and would have been a brilliant addition to the team, yet he’s potentially chosen some vague PL ‘prestige’ with Forest over a promotion push with us. Irritating, to say the least.

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    I’ll be honest, viewing his highlights reels again, and other sources of his performances last season (and if he has indeed opted to go to Forest), we’ve missed out on a real talent, here. This lad is the real deal, and will go to the top, if his development isn’t stunted in any way.

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    So we had him, then it didn’t seem likely, then suddenly Forest nabbed him and wanted him out on loan to Olympiakos, then we had him again and pipped them, and now he’s in Greece finalising a loan move… …bet he ends up at Stoke, after all this horse shit.

    Just waiting for someone to pipe up with a Hamer/Greece/Kebab quip…

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    Certain things that are beyond my actual sphere of control, yes. Other than that, my head is like an internet browser with 25 tabs open - 20 have crashed, 4 are loading constantly, and there’s music playing from somewhere. (ADHD is most certainly not a superpower 🤣)

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    I’ll just set my brain to disappointed and ‘He’s off to Forest’ so that IF he has signed for us, it’ll be great. 👍🏻

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    In all fairness, to Stamenic, he’s a very, very good player. Unfortunately, the lure of the PL and its riches are too great. Especially with a club and agent touting such talent like a disingenuous pimp.

    Transfer Rumour Marko Stamenic

    Well, well, well. If true, 100% expected, personally. In fact, I tried to convey this possibility, earlier in the thread. If we were even interested in the first place, who knows. The club didn’t confirm any interest? Maybe this was a tactic by his club to drum up business with a premier...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    I would imagine a retreating army, employing Scorched Earth tactics, would indeed make any scenery a tad smokey. 🤣 I didn’t read the synopsis for the film, yet when I saw the introduction and context, I was half hoping the film was about Simo Hayha the legendary Finnish sniper. But the lead...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    I was bored on Saturday, so I watched Sisu. 🤣 Funnily enough, not a hedge fund in sight. Enjoyable, well shot, the lead actor was excellent, as was Aksel Hennie (of Headhunters fame). 7.5/10. Not quite Scandinavian Noir, but enthralling at times, nonetheless.

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    I genuinely hope that some of these youngsters have the ability to push on and make an impression, with us. There’s nothing better than cultivating a young player, and watching him break into the first team. 👏 Admittedly, judging by some comments on this thread, our current crop are more miss...

    Ex Player Watch

    Personally, I think it would be a brilliant move, for Gus. If the rumour has legs, so to speak. If he plays for them anything near what he did for us for 22/23, they will idolise him.

    Things that annoy you

    If it was deliberate, then that’s quite unusual for people from South Wales. Of course, there are exceptions. Like I mentioned, the South dialect is very Anglicised (the North call it ‘slang Welsh’) and I often hear a break in the conversation, where the people will suddenly switch to English...

    Things that annoy you

    Don’t quite get this, I apologise. It’s probably me. My perspective was from an Englishman’s, IN Wales. Not abroad. Besides, there has to be a differentiation between South and North Welsh speakers. The North tend to be more militantly Welsh speaking, whereas in the South they switch between...

    CCFC Serbian Fan Club?

    There’s a Serbian guy who always comments on the clubs uploads on YouTube. Seems to have supported us for over 20 years. 🇷🇸

    Things that annoy you

    Don’t mean to hijack, but as someone who lives in Carmarthenshire, I’ve experienced what could be considered disrespectful behaviour on a few occasions. I’ve basically picked up a rudimentary grasp of Welsh, from working in local care homes (the oldies speak nothing but Welsh) but nothing on a...
