I thought Paul Hardcastle was a reference to an old player!

He was, he was a s-s-s-striker.

We send these kids out on loan but when they come back, none of them receive a hero's welcome.

Surely you remember Paul Hardcastle, CL? Apologies if you're like 23 or something.

I do now thanks, I hated that song so never listened to the words. Sadly my being 23 has passed sometime ago.

[pauliewalnuts]

It was pretty amazing stuff at the time.

All those who remember the Moores, they won't forget what they've seen.  Destruction of men in their prime.

Excellent work.
I can't be the only one that sang those lines in my head then added, De De De De De, De De, De Destruction..

Suicide Aston.  Suicide Aston.

Did you know that the former (and dead since 1998) French midday news presenter Yves Mourousi did a French version of Paul Hardcastle's 19, called, er, Dix-neuf?

When Full Metal Jacket came out I was working in Andorra, in a swish complex that had a cinema. I used to watch the films with the projectionist and get pissed up and inhale alternative tobacco products. He would blast this out in the auditorium before each showing of FMJ.

No, the most famous footballing Hardcastle is Michael Hardcastle.

No, the most famous footballing Hardcastle is Michael Hardcastle.

Nah, Paul Rocastle is the man.

Almost scored a clever goal in the play-offs, ball cleared off the line from a lovely chip. Salford losing to Stockport in extra-time.

[Smirker]

Do you think he's got a future with us? Seems like he's stalled a bit.

I watched that game and he seemed a lot stronger now and not so easily knocked off the ball.  It could work out for him.

Interesting interview with Rory Wilson in the Scotsman. He was asked whether he would go out on loan next season. He said it was too soon and he needed to spend more time in the gym to build his strength before he could go out on loan.

[Flamingo Lane]

Took his penalty well today, the only Salford player to score his penalty.  I thought he looked decent when he came on.

[SaddVillan]

Contract extension signed (period not specified).
Off to Stockport County for a season long loan.
He turned 20 at the beginning of June, so still has time to breakthrough, but his progress appears to have stalled.
