If he makes it 4 out of 4, he's in for me. Hope he does mind!

So. How are we losing from here?

This is a global issue. Russia are bullying a sovereign nation and it's being allowed to happen. The alternative is Europe and the USA growing a pair. I fear your use of the word realistic is appropriate. This doesn't stop here.

Not agreeing to appeasement.

Image appears to be everything. And, you saw their approach to this conflict. You are sticking by more technologically advanced? Just throwing bodies at the enemy?

A nation of 32 million, sandwiched between the hostile interests of a nation of 145 million and another of influence of 340 million. Russia are not all that, but they are being given deference as though they are. I feel for Ukraine. They've been f*cked.

Stop using common sense, this is a Sport Republic club.

Didn't expect that to cause such a flap.

Putting a name out there, entirely based on the spur of the moment and probably nothing to do with us. Troy Parrott.

No. It's Fords R + D strategy in the late 80's, letting the customer iron out the bugs for them. It's sloppy, treating the customers like fools and long term damaging to your reputation and market position.

Yep. Plays a 4-4-2 diamond. Wouldn't fit the SR way.

For a brief period they looked genuinely promising. Under Sturrock.

What a friendly Vs Leverkusen (I think.....)

It would be reassuring (in an odd way) if this is the case. Hope he is having the support he needs. It is in no one's interest to have him fail.

Only a loan, but Callum Davenport too.
