Quoted from Limerick Mariner


John Ward - Lincolnshire Poacher 91 goals in 240 games - I think we'd snap your hand off if we were offered a player with that strike rate...

That's two more title wins than we've had in my lifetime - is that 2 X Conference and 2 X 4th Division?


I was thinking more the big target man, rather than the sniffer/poacher alongside him.

Yes 2 of each, Div 4 - 75/76 & 18/19 and Conf/NL - 87/88 & 16/17.

Yours were 71/72 under McMenemy and 79/80 under Kerr (Div 3) if I'm not mistaken?

Got to take into account though, that we’ve played many seasons in, what is now the championship. Which is a tad more difficult to win than Division 2

Correct. I just caught the very end of the 71/72 season but I'm one of the lucky ones to have witnessed both our Championship wins, but with it being over 40 years now since our last title winning season, there will be a hell of a lot of Mariners fans never to have witnessed one in their lifetime.

I wonder how much longer we're going to have to wait for our next.

Just like watching England win the world cup and then wondering if will happen again in your lifetime, if ever.

but why do we need another ageing big lump? We've got 2 of those already, it's a fox in the box, little nippy poacher type we need to play alongside and off the Shop or Taylor

I'm hoping that during these extra days we've been given that the logjam will be broken at the top of the food chain and then moves can go ahead all along the line. It could be that a Dembele transfer would not only give us some cash and it'll be the catalyst for more transfers

Quoted from Garth
We don't need to sign has beens, spend big on a proven goal scorer from a foreign lower  league.



If possible, the club should check out a player from the second level of Norwegian football. He is a striker named Oscar Aga playing for a club called Grorud. The club is last in their league after 14 games played, but Oscar is still the leagues top goalscorer with 11 goals in 14 games. I think he is only 21 too. Last season he made 15 goals in 27 games.
Don`t know if someone like him would be of interest?

25 goals in 39 games for Groud and 20 years old. I'd imagine he would be on maybe 75k a year which probably wouldn't cover his wages in Norway, maybe too young to move abroad and of course I don't see how he would get a work permit now.

No, but they are part of the Schengen Area allowing freedom of movement for workers.

What level of football would Norwegian 2nd tier be compared to England? Would it be roughly equivalent of the national League?
