as it stands (i think)

Mills

Knew id missed someone, but to be fair to me, he is very forgettable.

2 year deal was a "mistake" by Morgan that has been "rectified" according to GML.

All clubs sign 'mistakes', but at the time he was an improvement for us, now he is not good enough. I think Mills and Fisher are on too long a deal, its preventing us bringing in better.

Mills was rewarded with a 2 year deal on the back of playing every league and cup game for us in 2008. Some record for a prop and the contract was well deserved.
However, since been rewarded with the contract his form has gone backwards at a rate that must even impress Chris Thorman.

Graeme Horne very rarely misses any games with injury....



Surely good form should have been the preferred indicator?

Now thats thinking outside of the box!

Quality.

And how many years did he play for fc?

That wasnt my choice....



Rob Nolan had an amazing injury free run for us as well back in the day!

GML was hinting that it wasn't though, as the mistake had been "rectified", perhaps implying he's been paid out?

He said 'rectifies' iirc. Changing the tense removes the possibility that he meant simply, that IHO, it'll be rectified passively - that is the mistake won't be repeated/compounded. Whichever he meant, I guess he'd be happy to leave it ambiguous - to avoid being wrong or it being a leak. If I didn't know better I'd say that you are, very elegantly, trying to make mischieve (sp?).

We could do it on the monthly .......not a King's ransom, i suppose

Why thank you, sir.



He said of Morgan "He does make mistakes like Mills getting 2 years but then he rectifies them." So if the mistake was a 2 year deal, and he's completed one year, how would the mistake become rectified unless he's shipped out?

Interesting. "...he rectifies them." in this sentence could mean Justine is going to rectify the mistake, but could also mean she already has done so.

Present tense could mean past or future.

I just think GML likes to keep us all guessing.

The little tease.

Utterly marvellous grammatical case building. This really is top drawer work Mild Rover and if you don't win poster of the year [ipurely[/i for this, then this fair Isle will be all the worse.

Madam Barista, you need to polish those shoes up to a brighter sheen.

Would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for that meddling Mild Rover.

I've downgraded us from Malmaison to The Sheraton Piccadilly just from this, any more slips and it's a ruddy Travelodge! Shape up, for god's sake.

Too kind. You can tell it has turned nasty when it gets polite.

The Grand Final is 12 months away yet, as is David Mills leaving Rovers. I think. Staying/leaving/released/paid off/told he can speak to other clubs/integral cog in the Rovers machine..The "Mills Mind Games" - it's all too much.

Classic Coffee person diversion of thread, in fact, I'd lay money that you couldn't tell a Jamaican High Mountain from a MochaChoccaSkinnyLatté.

Premier Lodge a' beckons...

85k over 2 years

New swear filter in operation, I see.



The topic is Rovers 2010 if you're getting huffy about thread drift. I see electronic turnstiles, hideous away shirts, suboptimal retail operations, 2 more derby wins and a 5th place finish. And Cooke's contract not being renewed.
