AthleticoSpizz Not the ideal start for our ex reps at Hibs (Alf, Obita and B Mac), lost at home to the mighty St Mirren and have lost to some Andorran park team (who I guess, they finally beat on aggregate later).

Thread, back on track 8)


Great headline on bbc: "St Mirren snatch a dramatic point in a five-goal thriller in Edinburgh" - I was puzzled how you could snatch a point in a 5 goal thriller ...

He was shocking. Had a good highlights reel but made a brand new Tom Holmes look like Zanetti.

And that's less than half a Puscas.

I’m sure his vastly superior pay cheque made him feel warm and fuzzy.

And his superior league career over the last few years.

One time Reading liability, Mamadou Loum, has joined the Saudi revolution and left Porto for al-Raed :lol:

And Nahum Melvin-Lambert has signed for Weymouth.

Loum was ok to start with, then went to Qatar where he was inexplicably traded for a donkey.

I suspect the real Mamadou Loum is now plying his trade as a hod carrier somewhere in Doha.

Loum was one of those players who too big risks and playrd on the edge. When it came off he looked like a world beater, when it didn't he looked like a clown.

I think when it came off was more luck than judgement.

That's a brilliant reference. The big writing is for the oldies.

Seems like the Palace fanbase are now in the same circular argument that the Reading fan base is in over Olise - but with obviously higher figures involved.
