That's because I'm always right. Don't you know anything about women?

I agree with most of that, and think Tickle deserves more credit for his efforts last night.
Tickle was running really strong and effective lines out wide last night whereas Radders did more of it down the middle, where he likes to do it, IMO Tickle was as good as Radders.

I must be missing more as I get older

Great game by Radders, led from the front. Can't wait to see Crocker (hopefully) and Moa adding a bit of fire power. Berro had a good game I thought. Hes class.

I think you will have to subscribe to Setanta then my friend if you want to watch Crocks !
If Eastwood can be rejected for a driving offence Crocks dont stand a chance. I fear Moa may be having some sort of problems too !
Never mind though a wise man once said "You cant miss what youve never had !"

I agree the chances of getting Crocker must be fading now, but would have thought Sam Moa would have applied later than Eastwood who's only just been rejected.

He wasn't.

He was rejected for a [istring[/i of driving offences, all before his 21st birthday. I think it's fair to say that fails the 'reformed character' test rather spectacularly.

Crocker still has a chance if his subsequent good behaviour gets taken into account.

Wasn't that taken into account this time though???

Come on, I know your keeping the faith an all that but it just aint gonna happen !
Its driving offences at the end of the day and not violence related no matter how long your string is !
Really cant see it now Im afraid.

They really seem to have clamped down hard on who they are letting in this fine country !

We dont know do we, depends what paperwork was submitted and what additional paperwork we are able to submit this time to answer their concerns. No one knows though is the answer.

No we dont know, you are right.
You never know he could have a master card up his sleeve which may sway it in his favour !

No idea. But the statements surrounding his new application seem to indicate that it wasn't for some reason.

But statements from Mr Rule at the fans forum indicate it was.

No they didn't. In fact he specifically said that they had no information whatsoever.

He [idid[/i say that character references had been [isubmitted[/i. This does not mean that they were considered or taken into account.

you really do seem to be clutching at straws



Anyways thread drift.........

One of us certainly is.

For the record, I think Crocker is unlikely to succeed as the borders agency seems determined to send out a message about how tough the new rules are. That doesn't mean that he's [icertain[/i to fail though.

Thats it,I have seen everything now, bring on the fat lady.

Believe me matey they look down more on repeat driving offenders than someone who caused affray once, affray is only threatening violence! Have you ever threatened to thump someone? And does that mean you shouldn't be able to work in this country?

Wrong !

ok, what I actually meant was he was only ever charged with threatening violence!

He was charged with Affray my friend which is the same charge if he used or threatened violence. It makes no difference it is still classed as a violence offence which cannot bode well with the immigration services new protocol.

Radford was outstanding. Led from the front, put some cracking hits in and always made great yards with the ball, and also he seemed to play just about the full game great effort from him.. His best game in a FC shirt imo

an affray alone will not stop him getting a visa, it is a complicated law with many levels, reading into stories of that night it seems he may of actually assaulted someone and had the charge lessened to affray. This often happens and can suit both parties. Which would also explain why they asked to see the case papers. You do know that if you use violence to make people fear for there safety it doesn't mean you have actually hit someone?

I don't want this thread locked so it will be the last I mention on the visa thingy. Radders was great Friday as was danny tickle my motm would of been cusack though. Let's just hope they can keep it up for the rest of the season, it will be difficult.

I am mereley saying that he has been charged with a 'violence offence' which from media reports was allegedly from a 'drink fuelled evening' and which if true will certainly be frowned upon. I hope he does come but if driving offences have put stop to one application If the above is true i personally cant see Crocks application being succesful.Time will tell.
Anyhow thread drift.........
