Barnard & McCormack

[OldBlueLady]

Something that's been pointed out on SOL which hadn't occurred to me, but maybe has to some of you more cynical types - by sitting out Saturday would NOT be cup tied were they to leave in January.

Oh dear, I feel quite gloomy. :darkcloud:

However a run in the FA Cup and the chance to prove themselves against a big team in the 3rd Round at the beginning of January would have increased their stock....I personally don't buy into any conspiracy theories.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Personally, I'd be looking at the possibility of selling Barnard in January. His contract is up in the Summer, and we certainly can't afford another Peter Clarke fiasco. If he continues this hot streak and it becomes clear he's unlikely to sign a new deal, then I'd be looking to offload him for a massive profit and bring in someone else.

i think players being cup tied is only a big deal if its the champions league not the fa cup.

I think it's more likely that they got themselves booked to miss the cup game so they didn't miss any league games. After all, we could have drawn or won on Saturday and then they'd have played in the replay or round 2.

I don't buy that conspiracy theory.

This is rubbish. If Barney wanted to get booked he'd have fouled someone rather than rely on the ineptitude of a referee cautioning him for being fouled !

My understanding was that the caution was for the subsequent dissent?

The way the referee was pointing around the pitch suggested persistent infringement.

was just about to post this, agreed.

 

[Pubey]

Not sure that they're be much interest in Macca from teams still in the FA cup at Christmas.... although I suppose Northwich Victoria and Kettering are still in there...

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Nah just your imagination running away with you OBL, now if they'd both been injured before the weekend game then it might be a different story.

Any chance of an English translation?

Exactly. At this level I doubt that any Club ever thinks twice about whether or not a player is cup tied.

guise

• False appearance; pretense: spoke to me under the guise of friendship. Scots: Guising, going in disguise.

Seems to me the most likely meaning. In this case, it is clearly the English language that he is guising.
