I think this got renamed the 'Mark Marshall' award.

 

Just saw this on the official website. Interesting a comment such as “will remain until at least the end of the 19/20 season” is made.

I’m not necessarily wanting him away. I’d be more than happy to see him fulfil his apparent potential and show us what the hype was all about. However strange that a comment that is essentially saying his future for this season is guaranteed with Bradford City, is surprising to see. Basically, if someone came in for him he won’t be leaving.

Am I misinterpreting this?

 

I read it as. If you want him we wont be paying a chunk of his wages for you to have him. wed rather keep him

 

What's the situation with Colville? He played in the pr-season matches but then what??

 

Still waiting for him to sign.

Seems like one of the reasons we want him to sign is we would benefit from future compo but I don't now the delay n his side but it's gone on for long enough.

 

Why's that, Fordy ?
If he's not signed, then we're not paying him ...... An' he's not exactly the first name on the team sheet, is he ?
No pressure or harm to City in any way ....... It's all Colvilles to carry - So why fret ?

 

Spot on.

 

The best guide to future performance is past performance. In this instance they'll be a bit of a rest now and then pick it up again in time for next years friendlies.

 

Alleluia

 

Youngster? He's 22. Should just about be reaching his prime. We can cajole, teach/influence to try and illicit something from him or we can concentrate on those like Lewis OBrien (2 years younger) that just seem to know what's expected and just get on with it.

 

Did I?

but the difference was Edin Rahic, I blame the players under the Rahic era a lot less because he made it a miserable place to work, to train, to play, to be around. we were tinpot and run by a deluded conman, with wacky ideas, and who undermined and hamstrung a very popular manager.

but after December he wasn't here anymore was he, and the likes of O'Connor and Joe Riley and the rest should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

 

Well said !

On a tangent (unlike me !! ) .........
Many of us EVERY year Pressure clean the Patio in early Spring. God knows what happened LAST year - But it's a mess. We hope it will last until NEXT year - but anything can happen, at any time, even early on
The FACT remains ..... It's a clean slate (Patio ) and a good starting point.

 

I just find the whole situation bizarre. Open abuse, booing and heckling was the norm in the midst of battle last year when there was still time for them to pull themselves up and get themselves out of it. (like the wombles did). Nothing was wrong with that, in fact if you weren't gorging on abusing them like everyone else you were attacked for not doing so. One of the players decides to run about a bit in some friendlies and suddenly he becomes a protected species. Got to nurture him and find the footballer we all know is there. Now dissent is not allowed, the slate has to be clean and no-ones allowed to go off-message. The fact is you're all getting too giddy about Riley. Those pointing this out are not some traitors undermining project Bowyer. They're just pointing it out.

 

LOL ...... I actually bought a JCB one (equally as good, IMO - and saved £100+ in so buying )

 

Errrrrrr ... Please point to ONE post which suggests any 'giddyness'.
All some are saying is it's a new season, so a new beginning.
Hell - Have you got the relegation 'cooking sherry' out already ?
We too are 'just pointing it out'

 

Errrrrrr where does it say I think we'll get relegated

 

Out for season. Bad injury. Cruciate ligament

 

Very bad injury, hope he recovers. I expect it will be next season if he recovers well, but no guarantee’s with that type of injury.

 

Don't be so stupid

 

me too ...good luck mate
