Fair play to Gamble - he deserves it - the best midfielder in the league bar non - in a different league to that other whinging w@nker in midfield for them

We're a feeder club for Premier Division sides and send our cast offs to the First Division teams.

baz will bring much needed glamour, and 300 rovers fans, to proceedings.

I fail to see the correlation between increased Rovers fans and increased glamour. I'd have thought the reduction in glamour is inverse to the proportion of Rovers fans present.

Eh, I was jokingly saying, extra Rovers fans may equal extra numbers, but Rovers fans as a group themselves are not glamourous.

Ok, to explain again, I was talking about the group, not the quantity. Nevermind.

Mypost, your thought patterns are so predictable I knew what you would say before you said it.

Now that's more in the spirit of things.

When was the last time that two eL players were in the same squad, apart from Weso and Crowe against Greece?

Didn't Kerr have Jason & Glen in one squad?

I know he wanted Crow in a few more of his earlier squads, but he was always injured at the wrong time

Anyway, well done Joe & Jason, hope they both get a cap now (& scoring goals would be nice too!)

To be fair, it's a 29-man training squad with a few withdrawals so Staunton has a lot more scope to try people out. Still, it's all about getting your foot in the door and Staunton is there to be impressed. I have a feeling that by the time the qualifiers come around Staunton may well opt for a settled squad (won't want to dilute the 'team spirit' etc.

) so a good couple of training sessions/games could lead to a prolonged spell in the squad for one or more of the current dark horses.
