Anyone given this a go and if so, was it worth it?

It's almost as exciting as waiting for the fixture list to be announced!

He obviously hasn’t resigned… but guess what a three day old tweet of a quote from weeks ago means bugger all.

I can easily accept him idolising Wharton too. But he has a Rovers shirt with him on, and an England shirt with him on. I don't get what he wants a Palace one for. I can sort of see why people might collect signed memorabilia in glass displays too, maybe I was slightly harsh on that count. But I can't imagine why you'd go to another club's website and give them money to plonk a player's name on it, and then, presumably, wear it. It's always been bizarre to me to see Rovers fans in another team's shirt. And yes idolising players is part of football, but not idolising the teams they play for too, which is what the vast majority of a shirt is about. The main thing about being a football fan, if you're not a neutral, is loyalty to your club. The main reason for buying what are now obscenely overpriced shirts is that loyalty.

As soon as they come up with Mannequins that can move these lads will be out of a job!

I often thought when watching those behind the scenes training clips that get released as to who these lads are in the sticks because they look useless. Half the time just stick a hand or foot out or nothing at all and i'm like why the #### aren't you trying to save these shots you are supposed to be training to improve right ? Seems maybe not, just pay some to put the gloves on everyday eh, nice work and i think i'd do better than some of them, genuinely.

Those would be brilliant from now on it's THE TONY PARKES STAND

That's a great token mate

I watch every Palace game I can just because of Wharton and the fact they give English players a chance. I think Palace had the most players from one club at the last euros

Going on holiday to Spain and coming home with a Barca shirt is standard 12 year old behaviour (often a knock off one from a market stall 😄). But a Crystal Palace shirt? Hmm…

He's a training keeper, at our level you have to contract lads to do this. Up and down the land clubs from Step 2 through 5 will have keepers who are paid expenses (or contracted) to purely be a body in training, both to support the keepers and lighten the load on keepers for finishing work to give the Pro's a rest. This lad will be no different, Eastham and Hilton have been fulfilling the role for us for years.

might be useful for you to post the link so that we can determine one way or the other 😉

Don't know if it is a fake but just seen a report Ishmael has left

I still don’t get it. Part of loving football is idolising players. I have R9, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and Buffon shirts from when I was a lad. I also have Duff and Friedel international shirts. Don’t see anything odd about it. I sort of get why the Palace Wharton shirt might be odd, but when it’s one of our own, I can easily accept a 12yo idolising them wherever they go in addition to his love of Rovers.

"Find your own way there"

I bloody well hope not. And if it was, I'd hope he was advised that it shouldn't be!

When was the last time we managed to tie down a player with a new contract who was entering there final year? It just doesn't happen here.

Thanks for the update and the reply I would keep Michalski as the third keeper personally deffo, we need New contracts for Batth, Brittain, Tronstad and Travis shortly at least most of them will

I wonder if he thought it was his responsibility to help save the Club?

Given that he has played for under 18's shows he has the talent but now we need to develop and bring him through. I would have as third keeper next season with Pears going and number 2 keeper with experience with Toth as number 1. Barrett will probably be first choice with the under 23's if we decide to loan out Michalski we need to make sure he is playing regular and good standard. maybe look a loan deal with Stanley or Fleetwood or Barrow. I think Brittain and Tronstad will sign new contracts whilst Travis will test the water next summer and Hyam either way
