Aye, sounds like one of those "internal matters" that ends up in players disappearing from view.

Never believe anything McGhee says about injuries or transfers. He never gives anything away about either.

It's a shame if Laing feels we are treating him poorly, as one thing we have done well at over recent years is looking after players. Laing spoke really highly of the way he was treated by the club during his loan and was one of the reasons he cited for joining us permanently. It does seem out of character for our club, though.

Did you miss the part where McGhee said that the ambition is to bring the young players through and put us in a position where they will be winning every week? We can't have it both ways. If we are truly committed to a youth policy (which I am) we also need to accept inconsistent performances along the way. If it pays off, then it will be worth it. Hopefully a run of games will help us get back in the groove. Good to hear that our long term absentees are starting to return to fitness.

325 quid for a Forest Green Rovers Standard Season Ticket in their East Stand.

Unless his mum needs to clean the basement.

Given the signings we made, and some of McGhee's comments, I always assumed he just didn't rate Laing and was on the "to punt" list. I always liked the guy, but I guess with Kennedy on the way back, we have alternatives. Shame if he feels poorly treated, though.

Not going out on loan has really hurt his progress.

At the risk of attracting CMWellfan's wrath, that is bollocks. His brief is to not get relegated and to bring on young players. So far, he is doing both. Not to say there isn't huge room for improvement, but ditching him at this stage would be mental.

3 - 1 to the Asian Troll Cabal.

When the letters fall off the side, we'll be left with the "Sai r h*n " stand. EDIT: and that joke fails with the filter.

Hello, Sailor.

He did, but his deflected effort was slighltly eclipsed by Steve Sidwell's goal. https://youtu.be/5V4ZRSfh_5E

I get the feeling that the Pacific Coast is the closest he can be to any of his clients or colleagues without getting lamped.

More decent than Riordan, definitely. But his comments about our club after he moved on weren't exactly taking the high road.

Definitely. And closer to home, Brian Kerr was another frustrating example. Terrific talent who thought he'd cracked it when he started off with Newcastle and seemed to believe he just had to walk on the pitch to be lauded. He could have been, too, if it he applied himself, but far too often looked like he didn't give a toss. If you track his progress after Newcastle, it was pretty much a straight line downwards.

Just another example of how, at the top level, talent plays a small part in success. Hard work, dedication, professionalism and all those other clichés are what separates the stars from the drop-outs.

If you click on your user name at the top of the page (beside the Sign Out link), you will see a Manage Ignore Prefs option. On the Ignore page, if you start typing the name of the person you want to ignore it will bring up a list of matches, and you can select who you like.

Reminds me of my favourite Freedom of Speech explanation:

If he applied the same marketing talent to this site that he applies to marketing himself and his skills, this place would be 404'd in a week.

Correct.

Maybe CMWellFan is doing some A/B testing and on another site he is posting reasoned argument with an engaging persona.

Does anyone know if the Marvin and Pearson fees will contribute to that repayment? If so, that will give us a good start.

The Scotsman today has the following story: So Semple must be worth at least that, I'm guessing.

There's basically 3 options when it comes to moderation. 1) Low touch, depending on the posters to keep each other in check 2) High touch, which relies on a full time team of moderators reading every post as soon as it appears and moderating as they see fit 3) Pre-moderated, where every post is put into a queue until they are approved and published Number 1) is really the only workable option for a site like this. As for the moon howlers (btw, what happened to not liking abuse?) they have been killing groups, sites and services since the September that Never Ended. If there was a simple way to eliminate them, billion dollar companies would have found it by now.
