Regardless of what the club have said regards the signing of Luaki, IMO he is almost certainly seen as a replacement for Crocker. When you look at the reasons for others not been granted a visa, I can't imagine this application result to be any different to the previous.

Correct. Bird is an innocent man and got turned down. Claiming he's coming is all just mischief-making IMO.  |

Does anybody else think that should Crocker join us that this wait will lead to completely unrealistic exceptions from certain fans?
I think some are expecting him to come, get the ball and run through the middle of the defence every time. Or that ever tackle he makes will be awesome in some way.

Some people were probably always thinking that regardless of the delay, but not that many. Most will be hoping that should he arrive he will bring a winning mentality (yes we still need it  ) and a good work ethic on the pitch together with a presence. Someone for younger players to watch and learn from. An international class player. Some expectations might be inflated but the majority will be realistic. |

The UKBA would say that every application is treated on it's own merits.  I think the first refusal (if on the basis of his conviction) was a reaction to the apparent clampdown by the new entry clearance manager.
There is an element of discretion in the rule that we think was used and a better made case, supported by the club and relevant bodies in Aus should therefore have a better chance of success. Nothing guaranteed, mind. As I've said elsewhere if this gets turned down again, I'd recommend the club contact Bradford about Bird then challenge the refusal through every means possible, involving MPs and Ministers if necessary. |

Think it's starting to affect results. 
I agree with you let's have it sorted now one way or t'other. |

Agreed - then we can all get back to discussing why we got rid of Briscoe and kept Tony... |
