Richie Towell

Its not THAT far away. Our own POSH left his family and friends many years ago to find work in London. He arrived with about 200 pound, his marble collection, his Buffy The Vampire Slayer VHS collection, a 4 leaf clover, and a lucky brass farthen in his pocket. He was called names and mocked for his accent. They treated their dogs better than him. This is before skype and facetime too. And he made it work. He never complained. But I guess I shouldn't compare Towell to POSH. And what about SkStu? He lives amongst ice caverns and cottage cheese topped french fries along side kind folk but lets be honest, its a 6 hour drive to the nearest filling station and he doesnt even understand the concept of a power play. Last year more sheep than people in his tiny Canadian hamlet voted. But now he's a citizen and mulling a run for town budget director.

Can't deny any of that.

Interview in The Irish Post the other day.

On the bench this evening.

on the bench again this evening for Brighton against Forest, Brighton won 2-1 with two other substitutes (Knockaert and Sidwell) combining for the late winner

Does anybody know enough about Brighton's normal squad to know if he's worked his way in or benefited from injuries or suspensions?

not even on the bench for Brighton tonight against Fulham, Brighton won 5-0

He probably would have got a run out if he was on the bench this time, due to the lead they carried. Pity.

I miss Crobsy :(

I was just reading that post and I don't know why I didn't thank it at the time.

Quality post and SkStu's response made me laugh too!

I definitely thanked it at the time. I presume all the thanked info. disappears from underneath the post when banned or something.

Yeah I'm not sure why I would have thanked Stu and not Crosby in that instance.

Cos you only like thanking certain posters, Stutts and Skstu and SVD, and when rivalries are put aside, even CD.

Injuries and suspensions. His limited appearances didn't show much reason he couldn't be a solid squad rotation player, though.

Some prediction that due to Dale Stephens still having one game left of a league suspension from last year he *could* start the season on the team sheet and Stephens would have to win his place back.

Thanks Kian, better late than never ;)
