Someone who knows MG told me earlier in the week his heart wasn't 100% in it last season. Commuting from Lincoln where his kids are still at school etc.

Very happy to be coming to us and I think we'll see one quality season from MG - hopefully the second season too.

I was surprised he agreed to go to Salford but I imagine he was paid well.
He was also never starting a game, and was behind Rhead and others on the bench too, so hardly played for us.

I liked him as a player, and if you accept that he will miss chances that he should score then you will like him, he will score goals at L2 I am sure - I wish him well, he wasn't going to get game time at our place so its good for him to play as much as possible before he retires.

He has some pedigree in that he scored for Mansfield against Liverpool  in the FA Cup a few years ago.  Not many players can say that they scored against Liverpool these days. 😀

He's now 32 years old, played nearly all his football at either Conference or Div 4 level and supposed to be seen as as a good signing, well people are really clutching at straws now, he may still have enough in him to do okay when fit, but really is this the sort of player that is building for the future, that is going to take us up out of this horrible division, club going nowhere except struggle on...

Now steady on lad! It doesn't do to dent Fishy optimism in June. At least wait for August.  

In any case Ronaldo was 33 when he signed for Juventus and some would seem to rate our bloke's ability only slightly below that level.

Sadly I think he's the best we're going to get. Any young, keen up and coming lads with good scoring records in the Conference ain't coming to BP.

30+ with lots of previous clubs and only a smattering of goals at those clubs is going to be the par for Grimsby Town's course (yet again) I'm afraid

I certainly am Les. As with all signings, I’ll have my initial thoughts about them when they sign, but judge them when they’ve played a few LEAGUE games.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
