Hector played a great game last night for Jamaica, McCleary was his usual self, a little bit in and out of the game.

Re: Thai owners

Has anyone considered the possibility that these people have never owned a football club before, and are still getting used to the process of dealing with agents, familiarising themselves with contractual laws and procedures, and just generally doing a lot of this stuff for the first time?

Re: RUMOUR - Eric Bautheac

LoyalRoyal22 If he is any good, we wont get him. Cant remember the last time this club made an exciting signing. Daniel Carrico?

I can remember when the local papers headline Reading sign England international" Turned out it was Bobby Ayres (Amateur Internation)
Now all say WHO?
