Tyrone Shoelaces

I've come across one or two nasty, arrogant, dog breaths in my time but Cummings seems to be in a lack of class all on his own.

I hardly watch much football under normal circumstances these days unless it's Rovers. I won't be watching any games played behind closed days. It'll be like kissing your sister.

I broke my leg twice as a young player. Physically I was fine afterwards, just as fast on my feet etc but mentally I wasn't the same ever again. Following the second break I retired from serious football after a few months of trying to get back to my best. I just wasn't prepared to play at that lower level.

Lots of Premier League clubs are pleading poverty in my paper this morning because it looks like they are going to have to pay back some of the TV money. Regarding Dack, when you've had a serious injury like that the recovery is 50% physical and 50% mental. Nobody will know if he's back to his best until he's played a few games. We all thought Jansen was going to recover 100% but he never did.

" Get tested just for the fun of it . " It doesn't sound like much fun to me. They played a recording of somebody having the swab rubbed on their tonsils this morning and it sounded like they were throwing up !

I think any club that took that approach would be on a sticky wicket legally speaking. Plus the damage that would be done to player morale would be massive.

No.

I saw him once a year ago. I was impressed on that one showing. Would I sign a player off one showing, no, not unless it was Pele. I'd have definitely watched him again though. Maybe we have.

That's Mrs Shoelaces theory. They are quite busy.

I don't what the back story is but in the last year or so here in Rochdale we have had barber's shop opening up at a rate of about 1 every couple of months. There was a stabbing outside one about a month ago. There was about 5 police cars and vans at the incident plus an ambulance and another 3 police cars hemming in the get-away car just around the corner. I never knew we had so many coppers on duty !

Let's hope we are both around to see it .

I look at it like this - is he better than what we've already got ? I think he is. We're not talking " class ", we don't sign " class " any more.

According to my paper this morning - " The Premier League has said fans may not be able to return to matches for a year, even if it's Project Restart is successful."

That must have been the high point of his career. He just faded out after that.

Yeah, Jim Arnold hadn't even played a game in the football league at 29 - he turned out crap didn't he. Same with Sir Roger Jones, we signed him from 3rd Division Bournemouth, how bad was he ? Here's one for you, Llandudno Swifts, Llandudno Town, Bangor City, Conwy Utd, Winsford Utd, Bury - name that goalkeeper ?

Another one we got when he'd gone a season too far.

I've only seen him in the flesh once but I liked what I saw. He pulled off a world class save when a defender theepenny bit headed a clearance right under his cross bar. He'd not seen the ball for 15 minutes before that and he was well out of his goals but he anticipated the cock up and scrambled back to claw the ball out from under the bar ! He ended up tangled in the back of the net. It showed he was wide awake and on his toes. He looked calm and collected at all times and seemed to be very assured.

Derbyshire's cock up against City sealed his fate with Big Sam. Anybody that brain dead shouldn't have been playing Premier League football.

My mum could have put away the chance that Sutton missed and she's 89.

He's been having finishing lessons from Jason Roberts, he was good at the " shin shot ".

The frustrating thing was we could see it happening and do nothing about it.

Yes, that's were a method of rapid testing to see if you have the virus will be vital. I read somewhere that people are having to self isolate for two weeks before going into hospital for normal operations at the moment.. Maybe it'll come to something like that ? I could do it but there's no chance of my wife co operating. My dentist is really good, I've been with him for probably 35 plus years. My worry is he may decide this is a good time to call it a day and retire. He must be in the 60-65 age bracket.

We could have proved Roger's old man wrong if we'd have replaced a couple of our weakest players. Standing still on the recruitment front meant we were inevitably going backwards. None of the top sides are happy to carry on with the same 11. When you've just won the title and you are in Europe is the perfect time to bring in top players.

That's good news. Lets hope they carry out the work on schedule. I was reading some horror stories yesterday regarding people's problems with dentistry, or the lack of it, during the crisis. I also saw an headline that said lots of dental practices will go bust if they can't get the show back on the road soon.

Mm, that's interesting. Do you know if it will involve any drilling etc or is it just replacing one that fell out ? Normally that doesn't involve much work that could be seen as aerosol creating.
