16 year old Michael Noonan with Rovers' goal.

So where is this lad heading to? Do we have a chance of getting him?

He was making his debut so I don't know anything about him.

Newcastle have just signed an 18 year old winger from Galway United.

Spurs signed Mason Melia from St Pats in January for 1.5 million, a record for a League of Ireland player. Can't bring him over til he's 18 though, because of Brexit.

Ta. Maybe a nice little bounty of £1M will tempt Rovers to send him to a nice home in B6?

Think I'd hold off for the moment, till he scores a few more. https://x.com/reptracker/status/1890115103284240594

I have no idea what the Molde goalkeeper and defence were up to there.

Nicolas Jackson out for up to eight weeks with a hamstring injury. Just need a few Forest injuries now.

Chris Wood going down with Dutch elm for 3 months would be convenient.

People have said that about other players, but it doesn't seem to have happened yet.

Maybe the '3 year' tax law has an impact?

Hopefully Antony's renaissance is reflected by Rashford, scoring in his second match for at his new club and then on his European debut for them.

Has the official day of mourning been announced yet to commemorate Arsenals injury crisis?

I saw the desperately serious announcement of Havertz’ hammy on SSN. Before the presenter mentioned the player and what was wrong, I was convinced that someone hugely famous connected with Arsenal had died.
It was delivered at the same emotional/ empathetic level as, ‘ Are You OK?’

I’m sorry for anybody getting injured, especially our Villa lads, but top of the news? Way over the top.

Should get jail time.  Literally could’ve blinded the guy.

League of Ireland kicks off this weekend. However, because Dundalk are going through one of their periodic nervous breakdowns and got relegated, I’m in a huff and will not be paying attention. Some bunch of Dubs will probably win anyway.

That’s a shame. Madueke seems to be fucked for Chelsea. Hamstring injury likely misses our game next weekend.
