i remember you saying to my face a few years ago "hahaha cas have signed korky , hes a *******, wouldnt pay him in brass buttons" then low and behold hes back at wakey giving away penalties galore.... bet hes best thing since sliced bread now though... kettle , frying pan.....you dont half talk excrement...

What's Korky got to do with McGouldrick?

I don't know, maybe he's confused, i did quite cleary said RM not MK.

Agree. To me whilst i accept the squad we have is limited due to the financial constraints we were operating under at the time it was assembled, the imbalance in it (ie lacking props etc) is Kears fault as he should have used the money to ensure we had players in the key positions rather than a load of utility backs. Our poor defense especially out wide is down to Kear as well. He needs to go for me, we won't improve with him in charge and he won't develop the young players we now are relying on for the future.

Oh and Hyde is not good enough to play half back in SL.

Hyde has also only played 1 game of sl at hb so maybe judgement should be kept in reserve

If he goes on to prove me wrong I will gladly eat humble pie but to be honest when Jeffries is fit and if smiths visa ever gets sorted, I don't think he will be getting many more opportunities in that position.

we are not short of props because of the financial crisis. it is because Kear preferred to sign players who have failed at other clubs like jeremy smth , kevin penny, and tommy lee..their wages would have got a half decent prop.I am sick of this myth that Kear can make a success out of every player who has failed elsewhere. his successes are far outweighed by his failures and the fact that he did not pick Penny yesterday speaks volumes.

Totally agree and that was the point I was making. We knew we wouldn't have much money and he did not spend it wisely.

By all accounts we had at least one prop lined up to come in but the situation I.E. not getting the planning permission meaning the short fall in funding meant that we could not sign them.

I reckon that within the next couple of weeks we will have signed at least one prop and also Gledhill will be fit and he will hopefully carry on from the promise he showed last season.

I thought Paul Johnson was excellent yesterday would have loved to see his stats...he tooks lots of ball for his first spell making yards all the time...
And second was just as good..
Very impressed with this Kid..
As for Korkidas..penalty machine, slow play of the ball, sloppy in defence, his time is up for me...

Agree with all of that. Korky is a great guy but look at what he gives compared to Johnson both in contribution and minutes on the field and there is no comparison.
