This striker from England could end up getting the board in hot water if signed as has what happened a few clubs in England!
Early days yet, they're only just started back to pre-season. Was just passing on what I heard, I don't know anything more other than that it came indirectly from our sponsor.Quote:

That was Hibs (Malta version), and it was a spoof. A very dodgy group tried to get Hibs to sign him, but the club refused, so the group went public to force their hand. Only heard the "full" story from a friend of mine from there who is up in Russia on business. I asked him what the craic was and he said it's the Vaughans. (Google them, it's a story perfect for Guy Ritchie)Quote:

I don't even require a passport when I fly from Liverpool to Derry or back. Neither Ryanair nor EasyJet require domestic passengers to travel with passports now. A driving licence or national ID card will suffice.
It's not that Ched Evans is specifically barred from working abroad. At least I don't think that is the case anyway. As far as I know, he is required to meet regularly with probation officers from the Ministry of Justice as well as participate in treatment programmes in the UK. Obviously, working abroad would pose great difficulty in terms of him being able to attend these meetings. I'm not sure if he has to meet the officers or attend the programmes at some specifically designated location within the UK or whether he can decide where it is within the UK he wants to meet/attend. I'd imagine the MOJ call the shots, which means even moving to, say, Derry might be an issue for him if they want him to meet or attend something in Wales or wherever.

The spokesperson added: "We are determined to have one of the toughest regimes in the world for managing sex offenders, to stop them reoffending and to protect victims.
"Probation officers must give permission for sex offenders on licence to take up new jobs and this includes ensuring they hold regular face to face meetings - this effectively rules out working abroad.
"The offenders will also be subject to strict conditions such as exclusion zones, non-contact orders and having to attend sex offender treatment programmes."

Georgie didn't last too long in Malaysia. Hadn't realised he signed El Hadji Diouf there as well as Eamon Zayed.
And Caleb Folan playing in the Myanmar league?
That's a strange one.
Thats changed, ryanair now requires you to have a passportQuote:

Nearly everyone on that team agreesQuote:

Whoever he is, he has a mighty (pubic haired) neck beard.
Odd one. Then tweets to say he won't be there to play for 1st team. Just rehab till fit to rejoin Zaragoza. So signs for Rovers to train? Very strange.
Clearly a kid on a wind up lads
I think he may be just a Spanish kid having a laugh.
Edit - as per Dodge's post
So is he at Rovers "on rehab" or has he just made it all up? Interesting sense of humour. I'm amused.
He's gone to some lengths 'signing a contact' and all that but if you look up the player he actually has another Twitter account which hasn't been used in months so this is clearly a kid on the wind up. Even has what appears to be a fake agent, must have a lot of time on his hands
The internet is not short of people with too much time on their hands.
Exhibit A - foot.ie
Stu - things seem even quieter than usual at UCD this pre-season - not even any friendlies announced I dont think?
I presume it will be mostly players from the U19s and LSL team, or have you any Spanish lads via Norwich on the books :cool:
Dunno really. Will know more at the LSC game I guess.
Though Benson's signed for nobody as yet so far as I can see, which is strange. I can only presume that's on the way.
Tiarnan Mulvenna has signed for Drawda.
He's hardly played in Louth before? 🙈Quote:
