I thought he'd been given a free transfer at the end of last season, but he was ib goal for the reserves against Ashington last night. Also Hughes playing LB?? Is that Aaron and if so, why hasn't he gone with the first team?

I thought that about Hughes. I think Bobby rates him highly so we shouldn't read too much into this.

Perhaps Karelse is merely playing for us while he finds a new club.

With Shay and Stevie in the US of A and Lionel on his bicyclette, the only other option would have been to put one of the bairns in goal. Would you risk putting one of your up-an-coming stars so close to the natives of Ashington? Nah, thought not.

Careful bonny lad. You don't want to go saying think like that about Blyth, unless of course you have some substance to your comment.

Perhaps Hughes was left behind in case he couldn't answer the US visa question - are you a spy YES/NO. Or is that Kets?

Hard one to call, Screach has had close combat paparrazi training and camera in his hands is a lethal weapon, whereas Tynedale Man could either be coming from that area a brutish Rugby type or a failed Morriss Dancer

I think it was a simple error of judgement on TM's behalf and I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.

And nah, afore ye say owt, aah'm not climin' doon. TM's missus has asked me doon ti see hor and ye cannit sniff at that.
