How about we have a thread, maybe as a sticky (Biccys/Rob?) if its a good idea, just for all talk or mentions of ex players?
I can't be the only one bored by the weekly Peter Bore thread, the monthly Danny North update that descends into the same argument every time, a thread just to tell us that Steven Watt/Jamie Clarke/Danny Boshell/Michael Leary have signed for some ten-bob non-league team, or a thread to tell us that some player who played for us once (Wes Fletcher/those two clowns Newell brought in for his last game) has popped up on Gilette Soccer Saturday as scoring a goal for his new team.
Seen something similar on other boards and would improve this one I think.

Seen that Rob Jones scored for Sheff Wednesday today. I assume that's the same one. I didn't even know he'd signed for them to be honest.
Connell was a sub for Swindon and came on for the last 15minutes with the game already won.
Akpro started for Rochdale which I think was his first start for them since he went there last year.

Something like "ive never even heard of his name, I can't comment on someone I've never heard of. I've played in front of the Italian mafia so I'm definitely not concerned by someone I've never heard of. I laugh in the face of people like him like I laughed in front of 70,000 people at Old Trafford when I scored there"

I watched Jamie Clarke, Danny Boshell and Ciaran Toner play for Guiseley on Saturday.
Boshell played better than I ever saw him do for Town. They seem to look for him all the time, everything goes through him and his passing was very good.
Ciaran Toner who was with him in centre mid was fairly anonymous and I can't remember him doing anything of note except breaking up the odd attack.
Jamie Clarke played right back and was ok. Got forward well and whipped in a couple of decent crosses and looked fast. He definitely wasn't fast for us was he?! He got sent off for a second yellow.

bit over the top I think its all relative.Look at the facts for instance of those in pro youth teams on average from a squad of 15 only about 2 get taken on and sign professional deals.If they don't make the standard or the gaffers/management don't feel there good enough there released or let go early on.So in my opinion anyone who has played 5 to 10 times for the club has done well .To put it into further context as well you have to be half decent just to get into a professional youth side in the first place.Who I feel sorry for though are kids who give it their all and don't make the grade "dreams shattered at such a young age " .Some however do come back stronger and overcome early setbacks and the game is littered with examples eg Hansen,Keegan were released from youth clubs and they came back from disappointments to forge top level careers

Not exactly a great record is it? I remember gary jones scoring against wrexham at home in a 1-0 win, headed it in from about 6 yards, keeper and jones both went for it but Jones beat him to score

Not an amazing record no. However, in terms of overall play Lump was the best striker we've had for years.

Quality defender. Scored an own goal on his debut if i recall correctly but a very capable player
That was after 2 minutes Chris. He then gave away a penalty about 5 minutes later IIRC. We lost 2-0 to Oxford at home.

ps ronald busscher our ex dutch reserve keeper retired from his dutch divison 4 club and is now a coach , doing his UEFA C license
. How exactly are you at Grimsby Town ended and what has moved you to make that step? "As a player of A-Feyenoord youth I was very late to hear that I have no contract was offered. late Ton van Dalen , my then agent, arranged for me a week's internship was at Liverpool. A week with the first team training, an unforgettable week. After that week I went a few days later on internship at Borussia Dortmund. This was a fantastic experience. Unfortunately yielded two internships for various reasons no contract. Grimsby Town was one of the clubs who had got wind of and offered me an internship. After that placement of two weeks I received a one-year contract offered. At that time I could choose between a contract with FC Dordrecht signs or Grimsby Town. I have chosen for the adventure. "
2. What is the biggest difference between the Dutch and the English League 1 and League 2? "Grimsby Town FC played in the First Division when I was there. That was a good level. We played against clubs like Manchester City, Coventry City, Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion. All clubs not much later in the Premier League came to play. The biggest difference is I think especially in the speed and hardness of the game. "
3. Was the difficult adjustment to the foreign clubs? "Not really, perhaps most strange. I was just 19 years, still lived at home and a week before my departure I got my license. So directly in another country, to myself and also again on the other side of the road. I have it all but just come to me. Fortunately Menno Willems also played at Grimsby Town. That he has caught me good on me, I also done well. "
4. What are the best memories during your foreign adventures? "It's actually quite a nice reminder that period. But if I should call it what it is the League Cup. I sat on the bench as a 19-year old when we in the 3rd round Liverpool played out. At Anfield, I met a number of acquaintances of the training period of several months earlier. We won that game even at 1-2 in extra time. This is still at Grimsby Town as the biggest victory in club history seen. And if it was not enough we then cast lots from Arsenal at Highbury .. Unfortunately we lost that game of ao. Bergkamp and Van Bronckhorst 2-0. "
5. If you follow the Dutch in the English league yet? "Neither more nor less than the Dutch in other foreign leagues."
6. Advise your young players already at early abroad to relocate? "I think that's a tough one. I have the steps put and although in retrospect perhaps not entirely gone is as I had hoped, I have no regrets. Each player must determine for themselves what is best. Let's face it, I had no talent as Drenthe or Bruma. I was a nice keeper for my age, who could choose between Dordrecht and Grimsby. If I had to choose between a good Premier League club Grimsby was or maybe I went for my opportunities in the Netherlands. But that has not been addressed. "
7. Are you in daily life is still active in football? "Yes, last year I got my playing career ended in ASWH (Saturday league). Now I'm assistant coach Alphense Boys (Sunday league) and I follow the UEFA C course at the KNVB. Last month my contract with Alphense Boys extended by one year. "

Just read this on the gimp forum re. Bore:
Quoted Text
Peter Bore is a former Grimsby Town player, but also a boyhood Imps fan (work that one out) He is a pacey player who is predominantly a right winger, he is also capable of filling in at full back should it be required. One word that would sum up Bores career so far at Sincil bank is inconsistent. In some games he has been brilliant, flying down the wing and terrorising fullbacks with his pace and skill. Where as in other games he has been anonymous and looks like he can barely kick a ball. There is a lot of talent there; it is up to Holdsworth to get it out of him on a consistent basis, if he can then bore has the potential to be on e of the better players in this league, let alone this side.
Made me smile, he is never going to be any different, Holdsworth won't change him, Ferguson wouldn't be able to. He'll go slowly down the leagues till eventually he has to sign on or get a factory job. His own fault but still a shame. But hey, at least he's now playing for his "boyhood team" :-/

Agreed, I did think after seeing him play and bang in a few goals the other pre-season that he would make it, or at least be an Andy Taylor-esque kind of player and float around for a few years. We loaned him out three or four times last year before he went to Trinity permanently, and although they released him in the summer, they obviously spotted something in him because they re-signed him in August...well I suppose only to loan him out themselves.

He scored 8 in 56 league appearances
Ronnie Moore said after his debut, he expects him to have at least 20 by the end of the season. And judging by his track record...
4 in 37 for Toulouse 2 in 15 for Stade Brest 0 in 3 for FC Brussels 8 in 56 for us 11 in 73 for Rochdale
...is a hell of big ask..but obviously its had a positive effect on him. Maybe thats what Newell and Woods should of done..if you don't score at least 20 goals this season you will be placed in front of the Pontoon to face a firing squad ;)

I liked him but he was frustrating as hell, for me he was a poor mans Michael Reddy..he used to make those darting runs and storm into the box from acute angles but the end product was usually Makofo-esque. However he did seem to have a lot of bad luck, I seem to recall the post being hit numerous times. He played like an out and out goal scorer but could never seem to find the net.

More background on the Town game at home to West Ham on 11 April 1981. We lost 5-1 in a promotion battle for the equivalent of the Premiership. David Cross got 4 goals, which finished off our challenge.
For those long in the tooth, the WHU team were household names, It is frightening to see the internationals, talented players and hard men throughout in this team. We were competing well against teams in this Division. Demonstrates hard far we have fallen. I doubt that I will know any of the Tamworth players in 30 years time.
There were West Ham fans around the stands. Maybe in small pockets and not all wearing colours because they wanted to see the game. West Ham were a very well supported club and they had an exceptional team. The crowd was an excellent 17,924.

Always thoughT Flash would make it at Town after his first season, I thought he would go on to bigger and better things, but I also though Jonny Rowan would as well..but at least Rowan had injury as his excuse..can't believe Mansaram's demise, incidentally if anyone is interested since leaving Town in 04/05 he has played for..

I still remember that goal that "Flash" scored against Burnley, where he got the ball on the wing and preceded to take it all the way along the edge of the area skipping past a few Burnley challenges. It looked liked he'd gone far too far and people inside the ground were groaning before he suddenly cut back inside and lashed a ferocious shot past the startled Burnley keeper.

Ryan Bennett played 90 mins in a winning Norwich team. He made one critical, goal-saving tackle. My Chelsea mate said that he played well against Chelsea early in the season.
Not Town, but a "Grimsby born player", Duncan McKenzie had a large article about him in The Times football supplement last Mon. He was a talented player who played for Leeds, Everton and Chelsea. Never quite had the discipline or consistency to go with his skills and ability. He never played for Town either. He was something of a brainbox as a well getting a stack of O levels.
He was more famous for non-football achievements. The Times have a picture pf Duncan jumping a mini on the pitch. It said that this was from a standing start, but I do not remember this even more impressive aspect of the jump. He was not a big bloke and must have had a lot of strength, agility and flexibility. I think that he first did it for a bet. What a party trick!
He also threw a golf ball more than the length of a football pitch. Also for a bet I think and another incredible and unusual achievement.
Mention of our friends up the road also shows how far we have fallen in comparison. Their ex striker Gary Hooper scored the goal for Celtic that got them to the knock-out stages of the Champions League.

Duncan was an amazingly skilful player but never quite understood the work ethic [he smoked like a chimney];which was a shame because he was a naturally gifted athlete! I would say that he was on a par with Dimitar Berbatov in terms of skill although rather more mobile [when he felt like it!] During his time at Forest a leading Russian ballet company came to the city. Ticket sales were a little slow so they sent their leading male dancer down to the City Ground to see if he could outleap Duncan as a publicity gimmick. Of course he couldn't and there was a photo in the next day's Evening Post of Duncan's 'winning leap'; head and shoulders above the crossbar!! After retiring he became a sub-postmaster on Merseyside, I think, and forged a lucrative career as an after-dinner speaker.

Peter Till has indirectly performed a very valuable service for Town yesterday. The Wrexham captain (Dean Keates) was sent off after getting 2 yellows. The final card was incurred tackling Till.
Source NLP today.
Andy Morrell was incensed and confronted the referee at the end of the game at the (quote) "An horrendous decision. It was not a sending off and changed the game. He looked to have won the ball. Even if it was a full-blooded tackle. Keates had passed the ball and they collided. This might be an important point at the end of the season.". The Ref was Anthony Backhouse.
The sending off was attributed by Morrell as the reason for not all 3 points. Wrexham ended drawing game 2-2 at home to Tamworth. 2 points dropped.

Aaron, thats probably one of your more stupid comments. All players go down hill for numerous reasons... injuries, age, personal life, drinking problems etc etc. Some players peak early, around this level look at the likes of Paul Mayo and Trevor Benjamin, or more close to home Adam Proudlock. He's only 31, and was a handy Championship striker only a few years ago, now he plays for a club in a lower league than Cleethorpes Town. Jamie Green has injury issues, which probably means unless he regains form he probably won't play as a full time pro again.
If class is permanent, then Michael Johnson still has a chance in the Premier League then??

Im sure any half decent pro who was playing at our level a year ago should really rip it up in the tenth tier of football. The reason why he is playing at that level, lets not forget is because of his injuries, else Im sure he would be still with us.

The reason he was released is even more bizarre. Apparently since dropping out of professional football he signed up for a uni course, understandable really as he may need something to fall back on to. He would go to Uni once a week on a thursday evening, and although this was fine with the last manager Jason Lee, the current manager Graham Drury released him because he reckons its imperative he needs all his players available for training on thursday evenings.

can't really remember him tbh, remember having 'Shaleum Logan' ? at a similar time and he was much better than Vidal
Buckley signed him just before he got the boot. Logan was 11 months beforehand and yeah, he was good (and plays regularly in League 1 now).

Stuart Watkiss has left his role as Stockport assistant manager by mutual consent after less than 2 months at the club, apparently he was off sick for two of the 6 weeks he was there, and County saw it as a chance for him to spend time away from the game and regain his health, hope its not to serious. Get well soon Big Stu !

On the theme of ex defenders called Rob...I noticed Rob Jones got in to the PFA League 1 Team. Good achievement to be recognised by fellow professionals.
Well pleased for the stick too with his Donny side getting their promotion...did anyone see him on the FL show absolutely buzzing with their win at Brentford? If only we could have been celebrating like that this season :-/

I thought he might have been sent off for that....not saying that it was totally deliberate but I think the ref showed a bit of leniency
I suppose he may have thought the keeper was going to save it, which could be why he didn't give a red, but he didn't even book him! Got away with a pretty bad looking tackle late on too.

At first I don't think the ref really noticed it but then saw the assistant had so no option but to give the spot kick
Maybe it was because it was near the six yard box that McCrory wasn't punished more than just giving away the penalty but a bit closer to the goal line and it might have to have been a red card
Agree he got off lightly too with the tackle when he jumped in a bit recklessly...maybe not malicious but two yellows and the outcome might have been a bit different.
Still the ex Iron player scoring for Bradford's second sets up the return nicely.....could be a good game to watch for the neutral as I think the tie has a few more goals in it but which way? Could be anyone's game imho

Funny old game. Bradford can see off Wigan, Arsenal and Villa but can't beat Burton Albion at home.
And what a crying shame to see Alan Connell reduced to a bit part substitute, only coming on in the 88th minute.
I don't know the circumstances of his contract with Bradford but could see him moving on because surely he'd rather be elsewhere getting a regular game instead of just being a bit part sub with them

Extra time in their play off game with Swindon - seconds away from going through in normal time Brentford then conceded in the 95th minute to make it 3-3 on the night and 4-4 on aggregate
Feel a bit sorry for them being so close against Donny last week too...15 mins to get a winner (against 10 men) and then it's pens and anyone's game. Who dares wins...

I wouldn't mind if Devitt came here. Although he was rather disappointing in his latest loan spell here he showed enough in his first stay to suggest he has got the ability to be a very good winger. He does need to beef up a bit though but I'd like to see us give him a chance to show that he can live up to his early potential.

I like Wells as a forward....parallels with Hearn maybe (although Wells is now a League 1 player and surely will be a target higher up the ladder if he carries on scoring as he does)
I was surprised when I heard him speak post match...I just couldn't recognise his accent.
Sounded a bit American so had to check it out and he's from Bermuda. As they say you learn something new every day....

Wasn't Newey their player of the season though? Maybe the best of a bad bunch or was it just a rumour about him being their best player last season?

Must be some sort of record. A keeper at a club for 5 years without making a single first team appearance.
At least one player in that transfer deal when Forecast joined Southampton went on to make a name for himself. ;)
Spurs got Gareth Bale and Southampton got Forecast. (Plus a few million quid)
I always forget he was part of that deal, I bet Forecast himself wasn't on a bad little earner, paid probably more than what we get a week to warm the reserves bench and occasionally go out on loan ;) apparently Gillingham want to sign him permanently :-/

Probably because he wasn't! Bale moved in 2007, Forecast a year later.
I've always been under the impression that he was a makeweight in the Bale deal. Obviously not then. An even more idiotic decision from Southampton to give him a 5 year contract then.

Teenage full-back Conor Marshall joined Boston United in January 2012 from Evo-Stik Division One South outfit Brigg Town. The right-sided defender had been in impressive form for the Zebras after joining Brigg from Grimsby Town earlier in the campaign. Marshall was close to being awarded a professional contract by Grimsby bosses Rob Scott and Paul Hurst in the summer of 2011, but he was released from Blundell Park at the end of August. He signed a new deal at The Jakemans Stadium in May 2012.

I only knew he played when I read the report later on! Didn't even get the half-hearted boos aimed at Widdowson.
And yes, that was a good goal. Left foot volley IIRC.
Scott Kerr was talking about RR before the game...seem to have some history over the years (not in a bad way, which is surprising given RR's temperament and habit of picking up red cards)
And you're right his goal was a good volley - any other game it would have been applauded but as I recall it was barely acknowledged
Too little too late from both him and Rodger....

It was RR that gave away the free kick that led to Pearsons goal. Apparently Buckley commented that RR gave away too many free kicks in dangerous positions and was one of the main reasons he was moved on.

Makes you wonder how we'd have done if his loan had been a bit longer, although maybe it wasn't so much between the sticks that our problems came from. It was a general lack of belief and commitment to seeing out games that cost us a fair few points that could have seen us stay up
The only time I saw him in his spell was at home to Darlington which was again a game we really should have won too...they had nothing to show that day apart from Devitt yet still got back in to the game in the last 10 minutes despite being a man down

Apparently at 1-1 in stoppage time Andy D'Urso awarded Exeter a penalty. The Morecambe players surrounded the ref complaining and some Exeter players then got involved and it all kicked off. The ref then consulted his assistant, sent Devitt off and changed his mind over the penalty, booked the Exeter player for diving, and awarded a free kick to Morecambe!!

He is one of many who looked way out of their depth for us then went on to have decent career in the league whilst we floundered in the conference.
Wonder whether Steve Mildenhalll will stay with Brizzle Rovers now that they've fallen through the trap door?
Not meaning he was one that floundered of course - I'd just have thought that someone in the FL will snap him up
But then again just checked and he's now 36 (today actually according to Town's Twitter) so maybe he might be ready to hang up his boots (even though lots of keepers older than that still play on)

Graham Taylor
It's his birthday today - 70 years old - so wish him well with the celebrations
Two games stand out for me as a young lad watching him in the Black & White stripes..
I remember the first goal he scored of his career in a 4-1 win (v Darlington I think it was)
I was in the boys enclosure in the Barratts and as he was left back, when he took his place back alongside us on the touchline, you could see he was made up with his effort - only scored one more for us after that so not what you'd call prolific!
The other one not such a good day...although we won, last game of the season v Swindon, we got relegated on goal average and his playing career with us ended as he moved on to Lincoln
Anyway Many Happy Returns - not quite what I'd call a legend but when he was with us I don't think many would have guessed he'd be a future England manager (with one of our own ex managers alongside him)

* Jean-Paul Kalala - not heard of since released by Southend in 2012 * Simon Ford - not heard of since released by us in 2013. * Lewis Gobern - not heard of since released by Notts County in 2011. * Iain Anderson - not heard of since released by Elgin City in 2009. * Marlon Broomes - not heard of since released by Altrincham in 2012. * Nick Fenton - not heard of since released by Alfreton in the summer * Ronnie Bull - not heard of since released by Hayes and Yeading in 2012. * Ben Chapman - not heard of since playing for Bottesford Town in 2013. * Grant Normington - not heard of since playing for Hall Road Rangers in 2012. * Jason Crowe - not heard of since playing for Corby Town in 2013. * Terry Cooke - not heard of since playing for Gabala and retiring in 2011.
Terry Cooke has lived in Denver for the last few years where he still does a bit of coaching.cant do a link on this but Google terry Cooke n Manchester evening news I'm sure grant normington was playing Sunday morning football in ull last season

And another one for Southwell today, his total this season at the moment 19. Well done Lad.
Pleased that he's doing well
Quite liked him when he was with us - seemed an honest trier if nothing else and you could see he would beat himself up if he didn't get things right so shows he cares
I'd argue that even though he was clearly not good enough to hold down a regular spot in the team while here, with him getting older and wiser, he's only going to improve his all round game, so if he applies himself should do well in the near future and of course all the goals he's scored will be good for his confidence
Could see him back at Conference Prem level next season with someone like Alfreton but unless he's really come on this season that would be about the best he can aspire to

Possibly one of the worst strikers I've seen in a Grimsby Town shirt during his brief spell here, but as you say, he gone on to make a decent career in Scotland.
I remember he scored against us for Notts County just before we signed him but the only decent thing I remember him doing during his time here is setting up a goal (for Jamie Lawrence I think) in a 4-4 draw at Chesterfield.

I sincerely doubt La Berichonne are getting more than an average of 4,000 in the French 3rd division. The French third division is similar to the Conference - it is a mixture of full and part-time teams.

Serge Makofo scores 2 for Tooting & Mitcham United who beat Guernsey 4-1 in a game that I was at.
I though a few of you might like to read the story of my day.
Quoted Text
Tooting & Mitcham 4 Guernsey 1. Isthmian (Ryman) Division One South. Entrance £10. Attendance 221 ( Est 50 Guernsey fans) Ground number 164 (only 7 of which have not been for a Grimsby Town game) Having originally planned a few months ago to visit relatives to take in our away game at Woking that game was called off due to our involvement in The FA Trophy but thought I would take the opportunity to visit a new ground. I did have the offer of going to Chelsea but as I have been there before chose to go and watch Guernsey whose progress I have loosely follow since they came into the league pyramid.A bet a London based Grimsby fan Baz in Wetherspoons in Wimbledon and had a couple of pints in there before heading off to get closer to the ground. Having been told that there were a few pubs around Mitcham Cricket Green we headed there after getting off the tram at Mitcham.
We came to the first pub, the strangely named Burn Bullock but this was closed and fenced off, however there was another pub across the road but this was closed down too. We then saw another pub sign at the other end of the cricket green, The Queens Head but as we got nearer we saw that this pub was closed and boarded up too. We then decided to walk the 10 minutes to the ground but on the way came across a thai restaurant which also had a public bar, so we nipped in there for a couple before making the short walk to the sports complex where Tooting & Mitcham play. I was very surprised at the set up there and the ground itself was quite good and on a par with some grounds in The National League and definitely better that Guiseley! We found the club bar and got chatting to a couple of Guernsey directors, one of which was Matt Le Tissier's older brother. They told us that their players do not get paid at all and that they still have to cover the costs of visiting teams. About 20 Guernsey fans had come over with the team on the plane but there must have been about 50 Guernsey fans there as there was obviously quite a few now living on the mainland. I was pleasantly surprised when in their bar a pint of lager and a pint of cider was only £6 which was very reasonable for the London area. I was also pleasantly surprised when the barman informed us that we could take our drinks into the ground if we put them in a plastic glass, which we did. I'm not sure at what level the law comes into force that you cannot drink in view of the pitch but as you are not allowed to at a Cleethorpes Town of Grimsby Borough game I was surprised that you could here which (I think) is 2 levels above.
Although Tooting & Mitcham play in black and white I was cheering on Guernsey and they started the game well and took a deserved lead. Tooting soon equalised though with a goal by an ex-Mariner Serge Makofo and at half-time the score was 1 all with Guernsey being the better team. The second half was a different story though and T&M dominated and scored 3 more goals, including another one from Makofo who had a decent game to be fair. After the game we went back into the club bar and spoke with the Guernsey directors again and a few fans.The game was very entertaining (it received a 5 star rating in the NPL this morning and I was quite impressed at the quality of some of the football on show. All in all a great day out apart from the fact we came across 3 pubs all within a couple of hundred yards of each other that were all closed down. Maybe a trip to Guernsey itself beckons sometime.

When do teams report for pre-season? Our friendlies start 6 July so i would think next week or so. I think we will see player movement will really pick up over the next couple of weeks.

poor old Aldershot - not only have they lost Rhys Browne to us, they've got the added problem of having re-signed Town legend Anthony Straker. unbelievably they've given him a whole year's contract!

I'm going to stand up for Straker here, I watched the reserves match a few weeks ago and Straker played at LB and I have to admit he looked the best player on the park .

It's happened quite often in the last few seasons where players after June get released at the end of the season. It's almost become the curse of the calendar where you can just about predict who'll get the boot or leave at the end of the season. ;)

I seem to think they released a calendar starting from August a few years ago so all the players were still here but I can only imagine sales dropped as people usually purchase calendars at Christmas time

Granted Jackson didn't score as many as we hoped or expected after a bright start, but Bignot was notorious for playing loanees out of position - surely you can remember Comley, Gunning and Jackson popping up all over the place?? So basically Jackson said goals instead of goal in that quote, but otherwise he's right.

Tommy Wright's Darlington lost 3-1 away to Gainsborough today who have Terry Fleming as Assistant Manager. Nathan Jarman scored the third.
It really was a game of two halves. Darlington were reduced to 10 men late in the first half and could easily have been down to 9. So bad was the first half performance that they made a double substitution about 20 minutes in and their third substitution just before half time.
Second half Gainsborough went with a flat back 5 against 10 men and Darlington took the game to them! Hope Darlington improve and get back into the league sooner rather than later.

His authority and influence in the few games he played for us - fairly remarkable in one so young - made it evident that, with a bit of luck, he was destined for big things. Nothing seems yet to have altered his path.
Could he ultimately follow Joe Hart's path of Shrewsbury to England.....?

Luckily missed out on going to Bury yesterday due to working in Liverpool until 2 but went along to Warrington Town vs Burscough in the FA Cup qualifying rounds. Jack Mackreth scored for Warrington as did second half substitute Richard Brodie who was also booked for kicking off at the linesman.
Textbook Richard Brodie. Played a couple of games, sent off, leaves.

Hoban missed a chunk of pre-season due to a thigh injury and took some time to find his match fitness in the opening fixtures of the 2018 campaign.
However, he bagged a brace in the 8-0 drubbing at home to Limerick at the end of February, and hasn’t looked back since. 21 goals in 25 league games mean he’s the most prolific finisher in the top flight by some distance this term, and the player himself believes he has become a much more rounded footballer at the age 26.

Let the contract run down until it has finished and then make them an offer that is almost certain to be beaten by another club. Surely that’s the way forward 😎

I watched Salisbury and Braintree in the FA Trophy last night with Ben Killip in goal as captain. Very vocal at the start until Braintree went behind to a soft near post goal, then he went quiet. Braintree was very poor and you can see why they are bottom of the conference. Killip could not command his area but made a couple of good saves. He is not league 2 level in my opinion and Conference is a step too far at this stage.

Pompey have signed striker Omar Bogle on loan from Cardiff for the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old – who spent the first half of the campaign at Birmingham – will wear the number 22 shirt during his time at Fratton Park. Blues boss Kenny Jackett said: “We’re very pleased to have Omar and he’s someone that we’ve followed from his early days at Grimsby. “He’s got pace, he’s got power and a strong left-foot to score goals, so I’m looking forward to working with him. “It strengthens an area of the pitch where we were lacking in options and he makes a good addition to our front line.” Bogle began his career in the non-league game with Hinckley and Solihull before signing for Grimsby and netting 38 goals in 78 games. The former England ‘C’ international then had a short stint with Wigan before Cardiff brought him to Wales in the summer of 2017. Bogle is the third arrival at Pompey during the January transfer window, following the permanent captures of Andy Cannon and Bryn Morris.
