[Shrimp and two veg]

Old Blue Lady dancing up and down Victoria Av i reckon.
Fiver says he gets a red card first game.
Cmon you Blues

If someone gets in there first before her they’ll need to sleep with one eye open.

I'd better give Dan a call at TPC and tell him not to add to his roster

 

[palexander]

15 March 2005 he first signed on loan for us..... Many of us weren’t born then .......

well, that's a horrible thought thanks! :(

Really could be the turning point if his fitness holds up.Nice to have some positive news after yesterday.Will definitely help the youngsters and set a standard for them.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Another good reason to get an ifollow pass this weekend cant wait for his first tackle

 

[amsemp]

If he stays fit I’m over the moon. Absolutely loved him first time round and was gutted when he left. Met him out in Southend just after he joined Charlton and drunkenly told him as much too ??‍

Absolutely everything we needed. Make him captain immediately.

I've heard Rush had been unregistered to free up a space. I'm happy with the return of the Mac though.

 

[Welly7]

A few reservations about the signing for me. Age, injuries and Ron's obvious involvement. However, looking at the short term future of the club (both on and off the field such is our predicament) then Macca re-signing does improve the 11 so that has to be a positive.

We’ve said before we shouldn’t sign ex hero’s who are ‘past it’... what’s different now?

Small flood has blocked the Rayleigh Weir. OBL denies everything.

Steer clear of the lift in Roots Hall

I’d fear for his cars at TPC!

 

[MisterStubbs]

Exactly the type of player we’ve been crying out for. Really pleased with this signing, as am I with the Alkinola arrival. What a difference 24 hours makes.

 

[Shrimper]

Was it Macca who lived in Great Wakering or someone else?

 

[Ted]

To confirm, is he allowed to play?

We have a very youthful team that needs a little injection of experience and he's only on a deal until January, rather than being given a 3 year contract.

We’ve said before we shouldn’t sign ex hero’s who are ‘past it’... what’s different now?

I'm normally in the same boat but he's not an aged (ex-)player with a terrible record in the years before signing back up with us, e.g Eastwood and Barnard, and he's got the sort of positional versatility we currently need given there's a dearth in experience or similar aged pros without poor injury records, and he should be a good voice to have around the dressing room who's been here in near-similarly cruddy times. Wasn't top of anyone's list but wouldn't say no to him either right now!

 

[Ricey]

To confirm, is he allowed to play?

He is.

The average age of 17 and a half in our first team squad.

I've been going for over 35 years now and never have I seen such a terrible squad/team. We literally have children playing for us. Forget who the player is and ask does this player improve our chance of scraping survival this season... The clear r answer is yes, this player just happens to be macca... In his last few seasons has had success after success a serial winner at this stage of his career..... Yes please all day long and twice on Sundays.
