    International duty

    Against us. Roy Carroll for Notts Co, after returning from Romania. https://metro.co.uk/2014/11/16/former-manchester-united-goalkeeper-roy-carroll-plays-two-games-in-less-than-24-hours-4950241/amp/ A return from Bucharest is different to a transatlantic flight however.

    Evan Ferguson

    Me neither but as I say much of the Irish media (still sore about losing Rice and Grealish who they thought had chosen Ireland) making it a story ahead of the next internationals. Apparently the convention is he can swap if he plays no more than 3 times for the senior squad. I suspect it’s a...

    Evan Ferguson

    Transfer Rumour David Brekalo

    Brekalo does seem like a fantastic bloke: Given this interview to Norwegian press today “ David Brekalo about staying: - I'm even hungrier now No signs of disappointment at not being sold - David Brekalo emphasizes that he is very keen on the autumn Viking is ahead..”

    Yep. You could say he vindicated the policy as he demonstrated a recovery from his knee injury and played for Reading, Bolton etc after leaving us. Hartson too proved his fitness with us after we could initially get insurance for his move from Wimbledon until it was too late to save our season

    Transfer Rumour David Brekalo

    Hmm but two days ago they were boasting of having turned down bids from Mityyland. Seems to me it’s easy to disbelieve everything that comes out of our club and believe everything that is said by others.

    Aha I just suspected that tonight’s opening was the perfect opportunity for the local radio station to arrange an interview for broadcast the next morning. Maybe it’s live prior to his flight to Stavanger to fetch the new Slovenian King.
