Playing Nitten, moral high ground and Gar’s birthday as the bell rings.
July 28, 2008
First - we are playing Newtongrange in a pre-season friendly this Saturday (2nd August) at City Park with a 2.00 Kick Off. They have a better park but I’d like the new guys to get a “home” game under their belts before the season starts. The earlier KO is to help captain courageous.
Secondly the Robbie Ross story won’t disappear and this time I back City and the EOS all the way. City are meant to be denying the lad a chance to step up - eh!!! More money doesn’t mean more class. Senior to Junior could never ever be classed as stepping up. Going to a better team is a different matter but that’s a different matter.
City are seemingly denying him the chance to move by pricing him out the market thus giving them the moral low ground. I wonder if City were approached before the player? I doubt it. The same manager tapped my striker on three occasions since last season ended only to be told no thanks. Was anyone at our club approached? What do you think.
Don’t get me wrong all managers talk to players from other clubs. I do so no moral high ground for me. I say “if you fancy a move once you’re out of contract I’d be delighted if you’d like to come and play for me” That’s it - no more phone-calls, no pressure. I just wait and let it develop.
I’m not saying City are whiter than white either. We could have held out for a lot more for Naomi but it’s not our style.
What about Man U and moral high ground. Explain to me the difference between the Ronaldo and Berbatov situation.
Thirdly and on a lighter note how many Garfield’s do you know?
Like me it’s probably two. Sir Garfield Sobers and Garfield the cat.
Did you know that Sir Garfield Sobers was born on this day in 1936 and Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield the cat was born on this day in 1945. It’s a strange world.
Finally my daughter Gemma has been asked to fly down to London on Thursday for a Disney workshop to decide who’s getting the new parts in “As The Bell Rings”. That’s a thousand down to around half a dozen and considering she’s into song ad dance rather than acting the girl done good.
You can guess I’m proud of her.
