What site did you use? I too like it, but not enough to fork out £70 

Send me your email address and I’ll share a link that should give you an additional discount.

Following on from the Caravan Park sponsors of training kit the gift that keeps on giving have released these strips.

 

That purple mess isn’t their keeper strip it’s actually their away strip. 

I genuinely thought it was their keepers shirt. Ouch.

Not a bad gig that

Cove have tickets on sale on website for friendly on the 12th. 

Should I convince the boss that this is a sensible idea, what are the transport options from Edinburgh? Would likely need to bring the boys along

No need for any maroon on our tops. White would have been fine. At least it’s not orange or green I suppose. 

There we go, there’s the new positive Jute Baby steps eh

I like it. The stripes though will be barely noticeable. Nix had a similar attempt in yellow and it failed miserably. But yeah, I don’t mind it in all honesty. It’s not like it’s a maroon kit, jute 

Anyone started the latest handmaids tale? Not quite ready for the depression.

Italy were really unlucky not to hold out although German 3rd was a great strike.

Couldn’t believe that was the scoreline. I went to bed just before Italy scored their first. The first half was enough to induce the jet lag.

You able to convince your wife that Cove is a suburb of Edinburgh yet?

Saving it for the flight over

Did wonder about a Cup winners play off away to a Palace on 19th as trip to Charlton a couple of years was a good laugh until I got pished and missed flight home. 

Now this would be fantastic. Last weekend in London too

Is this the glamour tie?

Ouch, that was a sore one

10-0 

In all honesty, it’s worse than I expected but not by much. It’s a completely different ball game here. The countries two pro clubs aren’t allowed to play in the comp because they play in the a league. Ironically they can’t play in the Asian cup either because they’re NZ based  

The domestic league is pish and they are all amateurs. Hard to have seen any other outcome imo. One that they should never have had to be exposed to.

There is a ripple of interest here due to Auckland City participating, and football in general, having a bit more of a media interest. Kiwi teams, despite being the only amateur sides to take part, don’t often embarrass themselves on this stage, but I doubt the new format will suit them. 
 

regardless, I hope it fails. Fuck FIFA.

He's done okay when he's had a chance. Has hardly set the heather alight, and that's evident by his lack of callup to the All Whites, neither whilst with us nor whilst with AEK Athens - believe me, it doesn't take much to get into the All Whites squad 

In fairness, he’d never get a shot at LB with Cacace on the scene. He’d be one id love us to sign but I think he’ll be staying in Italy. Other LB being de vries who had a pretty solid season with them

Club world cup would be under FIFA rules not Uefa.  

 

Pedantic points aside that's pretty scandalous.  Hope they win at CAS

Completely ridiculous given bigger sides have multi club ownership. If they really saw it as a problem, tackle multi club ownership first.

Badge looks the right way up to Reekie, Scotfree and Me  

I’m sure he’d rather play in Europe

Kusini Yengi according to folk on the socials. Was well thought of in the A league, helped Pompey get promoted from league 1 but had an injury hit season and not been re-signed. Interesting one and not one I’d have picked, but that’s also not my job. Obviously seeing something that will work with how Jimmy wants to play, and obviously free.

I was kinda hoping Trump would just pass away from obesity, COVID, tanning oils. But if this is his downfall from the POTUS Pedestal, this is waaaaaay better.

Now, where's that popcorn?

The far right always tear themselves apart. This is the world “righting” itself

Wee assist here from Dabbagh.

I said it on another thread, I think he's worth another season..

Agreed, definitely a player in there

You think Knoester is Cloggy? Before I say anthing further can define by what you mean by that Manc as my definition of a cloggy CB would be more in zander diamond mould..... 

Just simply, Dutch. Nothing deeper than that 

Great news, although I think he might do well there. Whether the support let him is another

Very pleased with the Knoester news. Our good teams should always have a cloggy element  

I’d be happy with Morris signing on again, unless we get money for him. Regardless, he’s a good option off the bench and you can’t argue with those stats.

Great interview with Spiers on here

I’d completely forgotten about Molloy. Think of the two, I’d keep him over Rubi. Not sure it felt like Rubi learned, but maybe that’s unfair and he’d have done better with someone more experienced alongside him, rather than Molloy. Do we loan both out and see if we need one of them in the future? Molloy seemed to have more in his locker already than Rubi.
