also : " while director of football Martin Hall is in Spain on business, and has been since before Ostick joined the club at Easter."

question is what the hell is Martin Hall supposed to be doing for OUR club ? is he getting paid still while he's away ?

All I seem to read on here now is rallying calls for the team, doesn't that tell a story. Didnt someone post a stat a month ago that shows since a certain date last year we have only won 55% of games or something, was on those lines I remember, only a month ago it was posted. I also noticed a post made in last hour on here with someone making a rallying call and saying "to the large sector of fans that want Calland out", so it's not a small section then, again does that tell a story.

Interesting on boots n all last night Eddie agreed with me in that the player must surely have known and Calland should have asked him and checked anyhow, in training perhaps.

See what happens Sunday.

Phil Clarke also said last night that he'd heard that Ostick had said he thought the Swinton match was a league game and they were in our division! If true, who said props are stupid?

lol that was rubbish, I've been playing for 20 years and knew when it was a cup game every time, it gets mentioned weeks prior, in training, on the day, during the game.

I agree. Prehaps the player was under the impression that the club must have known he had played in the previous round (which they should have been) and they were ok to pick him.
