stokes joins charlton according to sky sports. (1 Viewer)

[Gino Padula]

Yeah, fuck Sunderland.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Yeah, fuck Sunderland.

And I see you have moved to France Gino, good luck with that!

 

[Gino Padula]

He was cool alright. Very complimentary about the Rs.

Winning promotion with QPR was the highlight of my time in England.

The Rangers fans were great to me and I will always remember them and miss them very much. I still believe that one day the club will get back to the Premiership.

I also wish Forest the best. The manager Colin Calderwood is a good man and a good manager and I hope they go up.

Good that Jones signed up. What do you think of that Finnish player? Time will tell, I suppose. Bircham still there, although January is long.

 

[Stan Bowles]

What finnish lad is this now? I must keep up.

Great news about Jones though. For the first time in years we have a number of good YOUNG strikers. I reckon Blackstock and Jones are the way forward.

i wouldn't be opposed to this idea of an Irish side in the lower leagues at all, except that it's a graveyard for outstandingly mediocre journeymen so far. not a great influence on stokes, elliot and the like.

cripes, is miller a journeyman already?

 

[Jerry Twig]

cripes, is miller a journeyman already?

fuckin right he is

Sampsa Timoska.

The 27 year-old Finland international has put pen to paper on an 18 month contract with the Club.

Rated highly in his homeland having accrued a wealth of experience in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup and Finnish Veikkausliiga, Timoska is set to go straight into the R's squad for the FA Cup third round tie against Luton Town on Saturday afternoon, subject to receiving international clearance.

Gaffer John Gregory revealed his delight at securing the services of the versatile international: "He's a neat and tidy footballer, who is very versatile and can play across the back four, or in midfield.

This is a photo of him:

Only joking! This is him here (sitting down):

Miller isn't the guy who was at Celtic and then Man Utd and then somewhere else on loan? He's a bit disappointing. Good skill but not much character.

saw stokes play for ireland u16 (i think it was under 16 anyway) about 2 years ago in cork. he was outstanding.he had it all - pace, skill, strength.... ireland beat italy 4-1 on the night. remember reading he was at arsenal in the programme and raving about him to arsenal supporting friends of mine.

best of luck to him. we need decent players for the national team fast.

 

[Jerry Twig]

John Gregory is managing QPR?! Ye poor bastards.

 

[Stan Bowles]

John Gregory is managing QPR?! Ye poor bastards.

Well considering the muppet we had in charge before he is actually an improvement.

I'm still no wiser as to who the finnish lad is.

i thought youse like holloway?

way off the mark ain't i?

 

[Stan Bowles]

It wasn't Holloway he took over from, it was Gary Waddock. The only caretaker manager in the history of football to win only one game in eleven and still be hired for the full time job.

And to be honest Holloway annoyed me towards the end of his time in charge, seemed more interested in coming up with funny post-match comments than picking a decent team.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Gary Waddock?! ah fer fuck sake

 

[Stan Bowles]

Gary Waddock?! ah fer fuck sake

He was even worse than you could possibly imagine.

 

[Jerry Twig]

bloody hell.

 

[evil bandit]

So how many irish players at sundireland now, i make it

murphy
elliott
stokes
clarke
delap
kavanagh
miller
connoly

crap move for stokes, would have liked to see him go to a lower level premier club (not charlton) rather than sunderland.

Here's another one, he's my mates cousin from Portmarnock. I used to play 5 a side with him back in the day......... pissed all over him I did

Ward joins McCarthy at Wolves
Thursday, 11 January 2007 1:45

Stephen Ward will join former Ireland boss Mick McCarthy at Wolves
Ireland Under-21 international Stephen Ward should finalise a move to Coca-Cola Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers today after Bohemians accepted what they've described as an eircom League record fee for the striker.
It's believed the club will receive an initial E250,000 with bonus payments in the region of E150,000 depending on Ward's progression.
Ward is now discussing personal terms with Wolves who are currently managed by former Ireland captain Mick McCarthy.

 

[kevin gallen]

Keane recently had a 1 million bid rejected for an irish player at celtic called o dea. bizzare that he wants to sign any irish player that shows promise, id be worried if i was a sunderland fan.

in other news it looks like kevin gallen is on his way to plymouth. looks like a few qpr usernames are going out of date here

 

[Gino Padula]

Surprising about Kevin Gallen alright. I suppose it should improve morale not having so many players sitting around reading the paper etc. I like Gregory, although I do agree that Waddock was awful. Shocking stuff.

Leeds are in serious trouble, aren't they? That's a bit of shock too. They seemed to have turned it around last season.

Hull have sold their only decent player to Birmingham, so hopefully that'll drop them into the relegation zone.

So that's nice.

Holloway is an annoying cunt, and always laughing at his own shit jokes. The minute he got branded as 'ecentric', he started going out of his way to act the tit.
