Things I'd love to know: was it Ron or MM who pushed for Ranger to sign?
In a few months time when the dust has settled and the wounds aren't so raw, I hope Mark Molesley appears on the Custard Splat and gives the full lowdown on how that disastrous signing happened.
The decision on not signing him will have had very little to do with a driving offence. If we wanted him that wouldn't get in the way. More to do with PB sating thanks and no thanks for footballing reasons..I don’t know anyone else in the footballing world that has had more chances than Nile Ranger. Could of been a fantastic player for us next year if he worked hard to get fit. I guess some people never change, and he won’t be signing for another team anytime soon.
Oh, we can talk about it finally.
He didn’t tell the club straight away, despite his first court hearing being scheduled for just a few after he’d signed (officially).
Not sure when he eventually told them, but you’ve got to wonder that if he’d performed well, scored goals and kept us up, would this indiscretion have been overlooked by Ron?
A wasted talent and troubled individual, who is inexplicably destined to make the same mistakes again and again. A shame, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
The man GBJ?!! Where have you been good sir
Feel like you haven't posted on here in some time

I’ve been incomprehensibly busy with work, mate.
