Morning all. Today I start my biennial orienteering adventure , the Scottish Six Days Orienteering event this time on Royal Deeside. Today and tomorrow it’s not far from Balmoral Castle, thankfully Big Orange is in another part of Aberdeenshire and won’t be around.

Damn, this is not the 1-8-1 formation I was expecting 🙁

You just know that when Tim is replaced it’ll be Onyango going to CB and not Thomas ☹️

Glad your blood results are going good blue. On our weather forecast it said that Finland had reached a record 14 consecutive days of 30deg C , incredible really . Our temperatures are normal , but I suspect that they’ll be elevated in the next few days with the Big Orange Blimp being in the...

Morning all, here’s my late night photo, about 1030 last night. It’s not often I get to sing “ With THREE cats in the yard , life used to be so hard, now everything is easy ‘ cos of you “ to Mrs bl 🙂

Yep , Broadhead is a persistent rumour that “ contact has been made” ( along with Kiefer Moore) guess we’ll wait and see.

Don’t think your crystal ball is working mate. I’d be surprised if Broadhead moved to Wrexham, apart from being nearly local it’s hard to see where he’d fit into Phil Parkinson’s system given their recent signings. A nice thought though.

Lots of “ what ifs “ and hindsight but I was wondering if he’d have been better having a loan into League 1 last year , Bradford obviously think he’s at least that level and with their ambitions probably potentially a Championship player. Water under the bridge, and me just speculating as he’d...

I always liked Metcalfe, him and Dixon made promising u21 debuts at a young age, like so many youngsters suffered with injury. I thought he may have kicked on to be of interest to Championship clubs but Bradford are ambitious so a good move for him.

That’s all very positive mate, great that you’re not getting the full blown headaches and having some headache free days 👍

Nothing has changed for me . He’d good enough to play in our current first team even if it means being on the bench initially. If it stays this way he’ll force himself into a starting role and play 20 PL games at least this season . At 18 then 19 he’ll start to make his mark this season. The...

Apparently Lynyrd Skynyrd are in the UK, a mate went to see them in Manchester this week , he posted a great video of “ Freebird”

Morning all, it was Mrs bl’s birthday yesterday so we had a nice family lunch out, and today we’re off to Munich with a visit to Salzburg thrown in, looks hot there 🌞🙂

It’s the “ no harm in making a fair offer” that is the problem .His talent had been identified early before he’d signed a Scholarship, so the potential was there for clubs to poach him on the cheap , usually with just a derisory compensation fee. U16s particularly are so variable, in recent...

It’s always a fraught area if you get it wrong but I thought it was Gospel-Eze.

Jonathan Nsangou there, confirming what someone posted a few days ago about him having a number and integrated into u18s already.

I partly agree with your sentiment about getting in a few more. However , I was actually pleased that Jeremy Monga has committed to Leicester for his Scholarship and apparently a pro deal when he’s 17. U16’s particularly seem to be targeted by the likes of City, United, RS and Spurs , they can...

We do shroud various aspects of our Scholars in mystery , particularly date of birth , so I’m not sure when his birthday is. Akarakiri is another one , his DoB is down as September when he’ll be 17 which is odd .

Seems a bit odd, he’d have signed a nearly two year Scholar contract when we signed him at 16, so a year to go on that and presumably when he’s 17 he’ll sign the pro contract . I’d have thought a 3 year pro contract would be on the cards, putting him in the same category as Graham.

How about something like people paying to get a title below your avatar like “ Forum Supporter”,” Player thread Sponsor” or the widely coveted but horrendously expensive “ Staff Member”?
