So to sum up, we're investing a lot of time and effort in not getting a player in to replace Cahill?

 

i think so.

 

 

usa played 17 games in 2011 and 14 in 2010

 

from my calcs he had to play in 24 of those 31 games.

 

 

but he is young, 24 in the states IS like our 21. he is still seen as a rookie, not sure if the uk home office will see it like that though.

i think the home office go with what the appeal board advise

 

is that a pfa board, can't remember

 

dio remember aldridge being on one and us getting refused

There's an american player at forest called robbie findlay. His work permit was approved and i am pretty sure he's played only a few games for usa.

the rules are simple

 

 

for non eu passport holders. you need

 

to play for a country in the top 75 of the rankings and have played in 75% of their recent internationals

 

 

otherwise, there needs to be 'special circumstances'

 

special circumstances can be that youre the best player in the world, but born in bongobongo land

 

had a broken leg for 2 years

 

be wanted by liverpool

 

True

I think the initial decision is almost always based on a strict interpretation of the rules, i.e. NO, but on appeal the special circumstances will be properly considered.

On the age aspect it might be argued that USA players traditionally turn professional on leaving college at 22, rather than on reaching 18 as is normal in Europe.

But there are exceptions - Brad Friedel left college with 1 year to go before graduating (he may return to complete his course soonish!), but it took him 5 years to get in, with failed applications from Notts Forest, Newcastle and Sunderland. By the time Liverpool signed him he actually met the criteria (I think) but was very much second string. Souness signed him for B'burn having managed him previously at Galatasaray.

The point can nowadays be made that USA is a high ranking team(!!) and being around the squad demonstrates a certain standard, but I wouldn't take it as a given the clearance will be got pdq.

He'd played ten times in the 12 months before he signed for Forest.

Facts Facts Facts. There's just no place for that kind of information around these parts. On your way now.

Is that yank fucker playing tomorrow or not, fuck the home office and their silly rules, they don't always apply

????? what do you want - a points deduction?

Don't think we'll notice, do you?

special circumstances will be met by the fact that we view him as playing quite a few games considering the amount of money we are going to be paying for him, he'll be reet, be a white before next thurs

Would it of taken soooo long if it was one of the big boys? or am I just being bitter?

Well done Tim. 

Social media scumbags again, off to a Spanish island.

Wonderful.  Well done Tim and Rhys.

Absolutely, we’ll done Tim. Saw the piece on TV yesterday morning and the kid was so overwhelmed when Tim showed up. There really is some scum about who abuse kids like this, you really do have to wonder what’s wrong with them?

This from a group of supporters who referred to one of our Downs supporters as Spazzy Darren or M0ng Boy. 

Sorry but many on here can't judge. 

I'm not for a minute condoning the actions of a few kids but merely pointing out the hypocrisy

I never remember those words used everyone I knew just called him Darren. Maybe my memory playing tricks but the lever end lads never showed anything but love & respect for him.

Spazzy Darren was a nickname made in the 1980s when folk didnt know any better.

Hardly the same.

Never heard a single person call him M0ng boy either.

Absolutely. As much as anything it's a term of endearment, out dated maybe, but no one uses it as a term of abuse.

Wonder how many from here have been abusing this kid online? None perhaps?

Way off there micky, context is everything
