I`m looking forward to seeing more of Morton.
Remember how many wrote Sainsbury off on his first few performances.(Hang your heads in shame...lol)

Caceras is another that i`d like to see more of.
I had a beer with his father on G/F day, he comes from good stock.

Hurry up Oct 12. I started planning for the opening game today with a couple of friends confirming they`ll be there.
I`m tipping a full house for the season opener !!

Agree with most of this however I think Simon will be a definite starter when fit so take out caceras and put in Simon either up top or move Duke out wide and that will be about right.

I also keep forgetting we have Kwasaldinho and Bozanic in the midfield/forward bracket so plenty of cover there.

Just need one more CB/RB (Neill, Wilko fit that well) and we're looking good.

Agree with Ancient Mariner. Nothing irritates we oldies more than bad grammar.

If you are unattached I may have a partner for you ...


'I won't date men who can't spell,' writes Alison Urquhart

LOVE may be blind, but bad grammar and a poor grasp of pronouns are deal-breakers for Alison Urquhart.
Earlier this year, I had a boyfriend who I liked quite a bit. He was funny, natural, nice and smart. But there was one serious flaw: He could neither spell nor punctuate, and it drove me bonkers.

I hadn't realised this until he was overseas and sending me emails. A friend generously suggested it could be the fault of dodgy Central American keyboards but I knew it wasn't; I should have guessed from his texts.
"How can someone put a space before a comma?" I'd yell. "What on earth are you doing?" I facepalmed so much I bruised.

When he called time on our relationship, he did it via email. But after the shock, came the suspicion - the spelling was perfect and all the commas and full stops were where they should be. As this realisation dawned, I realised I'd very likely dodged a bullet because, unless he'd snuck in a quick grammar course, someone had written it for him. The thing with being a stickler for good spelling is you notice these things quickly, so the 'Dear Jane letter' was consigned to the bin with a snort of derision.

A few weeks later, a girlfriend urged me to try getting over my ex by joining the modern world in the online dating game. She opened her profile, we trawled the site for a while and I was horrified - bad spellers, I've found your community. However, my friend wore me down (with wine) and I finally took a deep breath and made the leap online. I lasted a week.

It wasn't just the typos; there were other ghastly facts about online dating that didn't help. People lie a lot, people LOL a lot, people use lazy text speak (and too many men list The Shawshank Redemption as their all-time favourite film). But I finally lost it when one guy emailed me entirely in phonetic spelling. "I can't go on like this!" I wailed to my friend, who sternly told me I had to get over my grammar gripes. The problem is, I can't.

It doesn't just apply to potential partners; friends need to be able to correctly construct a sentence, too. I can't love people who don't understand the pain of a misused apostrophe. Happily, a few of them share these feelings.
But how do I get around this problem? Perhaps I could employ a friend to be my proxy and trawl dating sites on my behalf. Or I could just go back to the good old days of meeting blokes at pubs or parties.

Some friends have had good experiences online, and one even overcame the spelling hell that is a dating site by using it to filter prospects. Buoyed by this idea, I decided to give it one last crack and jumped back online, only to discover the first face staring out at me was the person who started this whole process, my ex-boyfriend - complete with a limp profile with spaces around the commas, misspelt author names and a photo of him without a shirt on (a common feature of these sites, and often shown astride a motorbike).

Realising I'd come full circle, I laughed and logged off. I think I'll take my chances with meeting men the tried and tested ways, such as in the aisles of the bookshop. By the time I've smirked at his 'Bad spellers of the world untie' T-shirt and we've chatted about relative pronouns and the abomination that is the erroneous use of ellipses, I'll feel a lot better. And we'll walk off into the sunset of spelling happiness, with matching dictionaries under our arms.

As my online dating dreams disappear, I only have one other thing to share from the experience... Actually, it's probably best you don't get me started on men who write in caps lock.

It's only taken 7 years and 1,000 posts and I've finally been yelled at. Thank you.

Anyway, what did I say that was incorrect? I was saying that we need a new rb/cb and that an off-contracted Australian captain and a former Mariners captain both fit that description. Any disagreement?

It bothers me. His lack of attention to detail, to me, shows a lack of respect for the other forumites that have to read his posts. Seriously, reading some of his posts makes my eyes bleed. How hard is it to take the time to check the spelling? We all make grammatical errors and spelling mistakes, but either english isn't his first language or he's simply taking the piss.
