Quoted from 137
Any news on Otis Khan?
Yes changed his name by deed poll. When asked, Otis said “ it just makes me sound more unique”

You can’t be ‘more unique’. You’re unique, or you’re not. Just saying. 🙃

I know someone can’t be very unique but is it not possible to be more unique than not unique?

No, course not. You can be more rare. But if you are unique, you are one of a kind. There’s no gradations in it.

Well, if that’s true, it’s a f••k of a long way round the world to drag a person because of a HR/admin error. If I was Otis, or in the Town management I’d be pretty dam pi$$ed off.

See, if his request to change his name to Hkan, all would be fine.
It seems that his grandfather was born in Delhi. His qualification to play for Pakistan is dependent on his grandfather.
For those Geography students, Delhi is now in India, but was in India prior to 1947 partition. Sorry to be a historical nerd but since I have been challenged on pedantry, I thought I should clear that up.
Sorry to spoil your day….

Hmmm…if Otis had been representing one of the petrostates, FIFA would have turned a blind eye, or opened another Swiss bank account for the ‘solidarity donation’.

Otis must be pretty Wilde by now…
Well he was Grimsby based He had a Fishy wife He used to play weekends It was the easy life But then it turned around And he began to change She didn't wonder then She didn't think it strange But then he got a call He had to leave that night He couldn't say too much But it would be alright He didn't need to pack They'd meet the next night He had a job to do Flying to Cambodia
And as the nights passed by She tried to trace the past The way he used to look The way he used to laugh I guess she'll never know What got inside his belly She couldn't make it out His Grandad from Delhi He had the saddest eyes The girl had ever seen He used to cry some nights As though he lived a dream And as she held him close He used to search her face As though she knew the truth Lost inside Cambodia
But then a call came through FIFA said he'd soon be home She had to pack a case And they would make a rendezvous But now a season has passed And not a single word And all the love she knew Has disappeared out in the haze
(Cambodia, don't cry now, no tears now) And now the years have passed With not a single word But there is only one thing left I know for sure She won't see his face again

Embarrassing nonsense from Fifa messing him around like this. The day before the match they were using his story for their own PR purposes ( https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/.....orld-cup-26-pakistan), and then two hours before kick off he's given some rubbish rationale that where his Grandfather was born affects his eligibility? He's got a Pakistan passport and his granddad was a Pakistan national, what more should even be required?

I'm not usually keen to defend FIFA, but this is surely on the Pakistan FA rather than FIFA?
I think it's just unfortunate timing that FIFA put out an article the day before it was identified his Pakistani heritage is in doubt. I can't imagine the Comms team at FIFA have it in their remit to check passports before doing an interview.

Khan's story is now on the main BBC news website. How can he have a Pakistani passport but not represent them? He's already played for them FFS.

Wasn't the criteria then if you had been to Dublin and drank a pint of Guinness you qualified for the Republic of Ireland team.

Eligibility confirmed: Tweet 1722196729599267067 will appear here... Very pleased for him, must have been spectacularly frustrating to miss their previous set of fixtures because of some overly officious FIFA jobsworths.

What exactly are we paying his wages for, so he can Swan off and go play for a team that's one of the worst in the world. He will miss more games for town and run the risk of coming back injured. They never have and probably never will qualify for a major tournament.

As far as I'm aware Pakistan will pay compensation to Grimsby for Otis whilst he's not available to us. And regardless of what you think, Khan will see it as lot bigger a deal/honour playing for his national team than Grimsby Town FC.

No doubt its good for Khan and its certainly raising his social media presence, is it really 'his' national team though. If he had got an England call up do you think he would be saying that he would rather help his team pakistan?

You could also have said that about Harry when he was called up for the Welsh squad, but nobody did and they aren't tearing up trees on the international scene. It is good for Khan and good for Town to have an international player in our ranks.

I'd sooner khan was playing for us tbh but even if he was playing for England I'd feel the same way.

Khan is just another in a long line of wide players who start off quite well then drift off into obscurity, so it hasn't been the loss it could have been.
I'm hoping a new manager can get our wide men operating effectively where they can be most use and not be used as auxiliary full backs.

Mentions Otis Khan and Grimsby Town in this article, also Easah Suliman who was on loan here I think around the Jolley era? Posted late last night - Link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-67427645Main part of the article is about a midfielder Harun Hamid, 19-year-old was released by English second-tier side QPR at the end of last season and currently doesn't play for a professional side. He came on at half-time and his goal was enough to beat Cambodia 1-0 for their first win in five years - putting them through to the second round of qualifying for football's biggest tournament for the first time.

Khan is just another in a long line of wide players who start off quite well then drift off into obscurity, so it hasn't been the loss it could have been.
I'm hoping a new manager can get our wide men operating effectively where they can be most use and not be used as auxiliary full backs.
I would have agreed up until Morecambe He really stepped up his game , to the point I am sad we are without him Saturday . If Glennon is on the front foot he seems quite good , as he is a relatively intelligent player and uses his overlaps well . We need more of the same from them both and be playing on the attack for them to work , let's face it they can't defend but Shaun and Ben seem to have at least realised we need to play to strengths more than just trying to negate the opposition so we might get some better fare even when we lose .

Abo Eisa came on at half time to win his first Sudan cap, replacing his brother Mo. They're drawing 1-1 against Togo.

Conceded 2 in second half stoppage time, sounds like a very creditable performance by Pakistan against one of the best sides in Asia considering how junk their national team setup has been for the last decade. Seems to be a fair bit of praise for Khan's performance on twitter.

Looks like they conceded two goals in added time at the end of the game, along with an early goal about 6 mins in. A 2-0 defeat would have been very respectable…

this, indeed. A very creditable performance. Constantine is a bit 'up his own backside' but he is a very effective coach. Think this means Otis becomes, with the legendary Pat Glover, our most capped player

Lost 6-1 at home to Tajikistan today, in their latest qualifier.
Otis played the full game as far as I can see.

OUCH. That's av. bad result, especially coming after such a good performance v. the Saudis. It does mean, however, that Otis becomes Grimsby Town's most capped ever player Congratulations Otis

Away to Kuzikystan, though it looks as though that game will have to be played at a neutral stadium after a peaceful demonstration turned to bloodshed, as members of the Tzilly tribe flooded Kenpau Square in remembrance of the third aniversary of the Hormsburg massacre. But finally, some good news out of neighbouring Canduzi, as locals there have reached an uneasy alliance with the bordering Trilicabubsywubsydal. From BBC World Service

Poojah, you must think we were born yesterday. This is clearly made up as there is just no such thing as a "peaceful demonstration" is these far-flung 'Stans!

Sorry Poojah but you've spelt Trilicabbubsywubsydal wrong. Obviously you didn't do geography at school.

I can't have this counted as our all time most capped Mariner record. Given the opposition and results something needs changing in the recording of these records. Our all-time leading goalscorer guided Wales to the home Nations title. That record cannot be overwritten by this (as much as an achievement it is for Otis). Can we have two records? Am I over-reacting? LOL

It's nothing to do with the opposition or results, it's most capped, end of story. Are you over-reacting? I would say yes.

Love this tune while waiting at away games at Notts county Bradford Stockport Tranmere Swindon Doncaster Slough Forest Green and oh Wrexham I'm re writing the lyrics on Otis Khan adventures from this song great 60's song take my mind off a few defensive mistakes ....
Where Do You Go to My Lovely / Lyrics You talk like Marlene Dietrich And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire Your clothes are all made by Balmain And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes, there are You live in a fancy apartment Off the Boulevard St. Michel Where you keep your Rolling Stones records And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes, you do But where do you my lovely Your name it is heard in high places You know the Aga Khan He sent you a race horse for Christmas And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha They say that when you get married It'll be to a millionaire But they don't realize where you came from And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn Where do you go to, my lovely When you're alone in your bed?
