Great shout ‘Nipper’ Lawrence was it ?
I stand corrected on Mike/Martin, thanks.
Don’t recall the others you mention. Maybe the family Robinson ?
I get confused with some of the RotR characters, like the GK Stewart ? Was there a little rotund fella ? |

Before Roy of the Rovers went off to his own comic, he was in Tiger & Scorcher, which featured other sports/racing, like
Mike's Marvellous Minis
Billy’s Boots (Billy Dane)
Hot Shot Hamish
Skid Solo (motor racing)
Blake Edmonds (disfigured masked ex motor racing champion, with a deathwish !)
Johnny Cougar (wrestling)
Struggling to think of others…..? |

City break in Lisbon late Summer then Ashes trip in December. 2 Tests & 2 weeks+ in Oz with a Bali & Kuala Lumpar stopovers each way. Gonna be epic (I hope).
Fairly Sure it’ll beat the Norwich away on Boxing Day. |

Reply | Varane being sold?
at 15:43 2 Jun 2025
As always, the ball is in the players side of the court, much depends on his ‘new’ contract. Offers from Spain or over £5m and he’s free to speak to them.
Never accept the first offer, tell them it needs to be higher with add ons/sell on clauses like Eze.
Equally, I’d be happy to see him here for another season after which, (with the right manager/coach who rates him ?) his value may well increase…..?
We probably should be looking to sell on for optimum profit by the time they hit 25 in most cases. |

He’s had a good season 2 divisions below us, so possibly a little premature to suggest we need him right now. I’m sure we’ll get a RB or 2 in once Dunne & Ashby go, but not convinced AJB would be 3rd choice even.
Fair play to him though. |

Very pleased for him.
Very useful at that level, but sadly, not the Championship. |

Saiko, Edwards, Ashby, Yang loans.
Aren’t they normally until End of May, so they can play in any potential Playoff matches ? So may be waved farewell next week ?
I know our season was over weeks ago, but that ‘might’ be why…..?
Bob or No Hope of getting Edwards back I fear.
Saiko, I’m hopeful, if his parent club contract ends too.
Yang, was there a rumour of an 18 month loan ?
Ashby, can return with thanks. Average at best and we can’t afford Premiership wages.
Of those released,
Paal is a shame, but we’ll find another with Esquerdinha a youthful replacement and Vale ?
Petrie & Murphy both 21+ I think, thus under Nourry’s rules, should be knocking on the 1st team door by now (I kind of agree they should) If there was a chance the powers that be think they might, I’m sure a 6 month or 1 year extension would have been considered. Maybe Both wanted Longer deals or have been offered longer elsewhere ?
Dunne, if all he wants is an additional year, I’d give it him, but I suspect Sheff Utd will get him, they seem keener on him than us.
Coleback, 1 year, reduced wages. He’s a good squad player and he can’t get so many injuries or bookings starting on the bench.
Anderson & Fox, thanks and goodbye. There’s better out there.
Manager/Head Coach, Yes Please….. |

5th decade of S/T’s and not renewed yet. Nor have the 2 I go with. All pay full price.
I will renew, but not until a new Manager/Head Coach is appointed.
Probably end of next month. |

Reply | Henderson penalty save
at 01:27 18 May 2025
For me Yes.
His feet were in the penalty area, he swiped at the ball not knowing it was outside the area.
Var showed it was outside, but didn’t even give a free kick !
The rules back up the outcome, but for me common sense would have been a free kick and a yellow card. But hey, who cares ? Eze has made history. Now lets hope someone Bigger signs him, sharpish, coz in a year or so his value will start to decrease with age. |

Good to hear that the Op is soon. Fingers crossed all successful and a speedy recovery Vic. I too remember many away trips with the LSA, Trevor, Pete, Vic, Doig, Gus and many others. Great days and I hope he gets to see many more. |

Absolutely not.
Even from a level headed statistical point of view, what has he done since walking out on us at the 3rd attempt ? He’s failed at both clubs, which takes some doing, especially coming 3rd in a 2 horse race in Scotland ! |
