I disagree, however..

Do you honestly think people try and make grammar or spelling errors?

People who use their phones to post often make mistakes as their phone recognises frequently used text speak and changes it for you. So unless you proof read it there are often little errors.

We all ( well most ) know what they are trying to say, the error of spelling rarely changes the point they are trying to make.

If you picked apart every post, lots would contain some sort of error.

If it angers you that much, I think it says more about you as a person than them.

He knows where the net is alright.

- though when Harry scores at 3.28 the goalkeeper is wearing spectacles.. :shock:

I think I heard 36 uses of the F word in just seven minutes.

I hope we haven't put our foot in it with this one. It's all very well offering a helping hand to the club and giving this lad a leg up into the football league but I hope the members of our board haven't given away a 5 digit sum when they needn't have given anything. I know it won't arm us but some will point the finger and ask the question, can he go toe to toe with what we already have?

I tried to resist, I really did :D

Get him up to speed on the training etc of full time football and then as soon as he is ready (maybe twelve months later) get him out on loan playing competitve games to learn his trade, don't want another player not improving and then finally being binned off at the age of 21/22.

Good luck young man.

What impressed me from the goal clips was the ease at which he scored. There was minimal effort involved and he naturally plays off the last defenders shoulder. Predominantly right footed but scored a few with his left and not too bad in the air. Has time on his side and if he develops will undoubtedly be one for the future if not sooner.

l've never seen a man look less excited about scoring. Even his hat-trick goal at the end. More of a "ho hum, there's another one" sort of attitude.

Good. There's far too much prima donna-ing silly goal celebrations.

Are they using him in the under 19s tournament? Some good teams in it so might think we have a better chance with him in the team.

He wasn't on the list of players to go to the tournament that I saw. It is going to be a tough tournament for us because we are going to be the youngest team there.
