Signings.

Yummy yummy.

[BarnardFoxtonBarker..]

I think SNOT mentioned 2 in and 3 out this week. I make it 3 in and none out so far. Anyone know of any departures?.

[Rene Artois]

Shiver mi timbers…. a ‘striker’ (?)! with ONE goal in 64 games for Wrexham.

[BigLeftToe]

McAlinden played left wing-back for Wrexham.

Seems by info wasn’t exact, my figures on ins and outs were short on both counts, today will be interesting.

Easier to get ’em in than get ’em out. Does McAlinden indicate an exit for Whitehall or Elliott?

[Sanfran49]

Going to be interesting as to who goes out.

Let’s not. Many crimes are victimless, from begging to assisted suicide. If Sainsbury’s sells me a case of San Miguel at 09.55 on a Sunday, they’re breaking the law. And the victim is????

Many laws which make harmless behaviour illegal are simply based on opinions about morality, and petty, small-minded, religiously informed opinions at that.

Some on here are so quick to moralise about a footballer’s past and question his present, while cheerleading for some of the biggest political criminals around.

Do you remember the Eddie Murphy film; Trading Places.
Many ‘beggars’ have homes and indeed cars that they own!

Assisted Suicide is legal in some countries – we’ve all heard of Dignitas?

“including Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, parts of the United States and all six states of Australia.

The constitutional courts of Colombia, Germany and Italy legalized assisted suicide, but their governments have not legislated or regulated the practice yet.”

It’ll be legal in the UK in the not so distant future.

‘Many beggars have homes and cars’

Well, yes, I saw one near the station recently, there he was, bent double on his knees, with his plastic cup in supplication and with a small scribbled notepaper, pleading for a cup of coffee. I was immediately suspicious. I watched and waited, and soon he sprang to his feet and walked sprightly to his new Ferrari parked nearby. I flagged down a taxi, and followed him to his Georgian mansion in Scotter. He jumped out, carefully carrying the plastic cup, half full of brown shrapnel, and pulled out his top of the range mobile phone to de-activate his burglar alarm. Through the window, I could see a vast flat-screen tv, and numerous consumer durables of the highest standard, with another car – a capacious tourer – parked in the driveway! For that is the truth of how beggars in Scunthorpe live today.

(As seen in the Daily Mail)

The secretly wealthy beggar has been a trope put about by the authorities since the middle-ages, created to restrain the Samaritan’s hand and encourage victims to hide their poverty and shame.

Point is, that in many places begging is illegal but victimless.

As for assisted dying, it is indeed legal in many enlightened countries. But not here, yet. Again, it’s a victimless crime. There are loads of ‘em.

You seem to be wavering like Indecisive Dave…

It is but there need to be safeguards against coercion and exploitation of potential victims. Don’t want to end up with a Monty Python “not dead yet” scenario!

It does not matter who we sign,with this manager in charge it will not make the slightest difference

Decent signings; we have to remember we are plying our trade in the NLN so the days of over-priced performers being signed are well and truely in the past.

[Northumbiron]

Is Poulter to Cleggy counted as one of the outgoings?

True, and that’s what happens in other countries.
I’ll see you on the other side (non-football)!

Oh, and as for jonnie’s film, ‘Trading Places’ was made at the height of 80s Reaganomics, when creating comedy about a fake, disabled, black beggar suited the zeitgeist. Here too, with Bernard Manning, Bobby Davro and others. It’s no longer popular tho’ except amongst a small, elderly, right-wing demographic.

Liam McAlinden’s only 30yrs old, for some reason I thought he was a lot older. Regarding the out goings, I expect Beestin to go out on loan due to the fact we signed Clarke. Shrimpton to go and maybe Law on loan to get minutes ?

[BarnardFoxtonBarker..]

My guess at outgoings would be Shrimpton, Pugh and one of Elliott/Whitehall.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Appears it’s not today after all.
Seems nobody wants them!

[Iron-awe]

We would probably get more of a fee for Whitehall then Elliot, plus I’d rather Elliot stay out of the two anyway.

[cassidystash]

Should be clues in the squad tomorrow? Have to assume the 3 new boys will be in – interesting.

Peer pressure will see them sink to the level of the other squaddies.

[Awaywego]

Id rather Elliot stay over Whitehall, Whitehalls goal contribution as earned us only 31pts while Elliot’s have earned us 13pts, makes sence really.

[lesgeo]

Doubt that the young lad will start.

[64]

One in 64? I’d wager on Douglas Bader doing better

Rather like your spelling.

What, this one? Must be catching.

[Heath]

Is he related to Len Badger? Fine full-back.

[Iron-awe]

Brock Badger would be a good signing, he would at least dig in for 90 minutes.

[64]

Bloody good joke too, ruined by predictive text

[Iron-awe]

Your phone constantly stymies you 64, just when your on the verge of greatness.
