What a bunch of absolute toss pots!

Scott is easily the top goalkeeper playing at local level, nobody else even comes close to him! If you'd watched local football you'd know that! He's had offers from bigger clubs than Watcombe, the likes of Bideford and so on, but wanted to stay loyal to his club.

Scott has been on the books at Wycombe, Bristol, Clevedon, Taunton and even Perth Glory, so he is no run of the mill SDL player. Yes he's overweight, he knows that, and he is desperate to get it off and is working hard on it, but he's a former trainer here, from the good days!!! Give him a chance for gods sake!

His shot stopping and distribution are first class and if he gets his chance I guarantee he will give 100% for the club, he bleeds yellow!

Insensitive pricks

However, if the club finds itself in a situation where it needs to sign an emergency keeper during the next two weeks one would hope that KN already has a keeper lined up for such an eventuality. The question then is, having signed up this local keeper, will KN be allowed to sign the emergency keeper? Common sense says yes, but what are the rules?

I don't understand why Tqy need a goalkeeping coach, surely they could share one with Exeter & ( or ) Plymouth for specialist sessions.

I wish people would stop using this 'he bleeds yellow' cliche as though it qualifies someone to do a job they are not cut out to do.

They are either good enough or they are not. Whether they 'bleed yellow' matters not one jot.

Why are we looking in South Devon league? And you can't have people playing for you who are blatently out of shape as it makes the whole thing look a farce.

As for him being the best goalie in SDL? Really? Kingsteignton Athletics keeper is better than him. At least he looks the part.

As for Corderoy having offers left right and centre, I had trials with Stockport County, Tottenham and Inter Milan. But I played for Shaldon cos it suited me better.

OK, look around the local leagues, but why not 3 or 4 tiers up?

Just hope lavercombe stays fit.

My blood is red but it doesn't mean I would be any use to Liverpool so I see what you mean. Interestingly though my piss can be yellow on occasion

My bad. Forgot Briscoe. Bloody Gulls Player. Didn't count the players and thought Fisher was the last man in the lineup

Good to see Smith back and hopefully a fit Carmichael as we need them both COYY

Oh FFASKE !!!!!

flipen eck. Ross Hannah. 15 seconds. that's an uphill battle from the off. gee do we ever get any breaks. Shame we couldn't have singed him when he was able to be signed. wow that was close nearly 2-0 down inside the first minute. is that some sort of record

FFS

One down in fifteen seconds!

And they've hit the post now as well. Quick get big Scott on, least he'd fill the goal up.
