Ban the Automaton!

Matt that is, not the bot. At least it's talking sense.......

Oooh, this is a good game. Troll the Bot. Basically, you get a point for every trigger word which gets a reply and lose one for every incorrect try. I'll go first with Solicitor.

Matt.

Reading that HE article, I fully expect Saah to secure a move to the London borough of Lincoln!

My attitude is i will just see who is in the yellow shirt come first pre-season game.

trouble is, its not a yellow shirt is it. its a poxy yellow and white one.
bloody sacrilege it is. i say bloody sacrilege. :no:

Agree, when I first saw him I couldn't believe my eyes at what I saw. I honestly thought he was horrific and then when he got his chance in the side he grabbed it with both hands and never looked back in my opinion. Ok so he has made a few gaffes but everyone does, he was overall reliable and consistent and that is what you need at this level. Perhaps he should be giving our Billy some pointers in those departments. Sad to see him go to be honest but we carry on and evolve and hopefully replace him with someone better.

Totaly agree with that Royal. There is no need to be harsh on saah because he has decided his future lie's elsewhere, I am not sure he ever settled in this area, often saw him on a Sunday morning checking his tyres and fueling up his car with the family, no doubt of up country.

Yes our back 4 often parted like the red sea, however I think that was more down to poor full back play, right hand side was just dreadful all season and no dissrespect meant to Nico but it was like having a canal barge on that side. If your full back goes missing the rest of the defence have to shuffle and thats where things can often go wrong. In Brain saah we had a centre back who was calm and capable of passing the ball, will be missed.

That said over the last few seasons, we have lost Robertson, Branno and Ellis and come up with the answer every time, I have no doubt once again the club will come with a good replacment.

Sad to see Saah go in the end, despite the obvious 'well he was rubbish' anyway posts the moment a player leaves a club, he wasn't rubbish at all in the end. i thought he was crud after the first few games of last season but that little break from the side seemed to do him the world of good. once he returned and from there on in he's been probably our most consistent player for the last year.

Was nice to have a centre half pretty confident and relaxed on the ball but capable of doing the horrible things as well, will miss Saah and I'm sure wherever he goes he'll do a decent job for someone.

since when is it acceptable to use the term 'roster' Kick the US out of soccer I mean football.

Secondly LOL @ 'roster of strikers' we have yeoman and that's it. Yeoooooooooooooooooooo

Saah definitely gone then:

Interesting to see that Knill describes some of his prospective signing are in 'advanced talks'

Also that there is no firm offer made for Benyon yet

I tell you what fella's, I wouldn't worry about what is happening or not happening.

My attitude is i will just see who is in the yellow shirt come first pre-season game.

Is there an argument here to change the way football contracts work? Maybe players are subject to agreed value and one year contacts from summer to summer? Quite an alteration, but might shake things up a little for the paying public.

Matt.

Fair enough Nick (and everyone else).

I suppose i'm just getting itchy feet and NEED info!

Andy, I'd rather the club stay quiet until things are confirmed. Only the other day this happened to Brizzle Rovers, which is shocking..

Obviously it's slightly different but it's still a case of them saying something, only for it not to be true.

Whats so special about June 11th??? The (few admittedly) footballists I know have contracts that run from 1st July to 30th Jun.

Its quite possible that players have come back and said "I want to stay here, but club xyz have offered more money/longer contract etc. What can you do?" And Knill has had to go back to the board. Its also possible that players have come back and said they want to sign, but are away, and club wont announce until the contract is signed. Thats just what I can think of off the top of my head. If the club announced signings that then backed out, theyd get all sorts of grief.
