Well it may be a long shot, but he could do worse than ring Brendon Rogers and offer to take Rory Donnelly until the end of the season. Swansea signed the Cliftonville striker today, beating off competition from Liverpool, and Rogers has made it clear that he wants to ease the lad in slowly...

Sitting pretty as we are in the JPT, I thought people might be interested in this link that I just came across. http://www.freewebs.com/captainbeecher/1931exetercity.htm I hope this hasn't been posted here before. I was lucky enough to meet Charlie Miller back in my (long-gone) student days...

I was looking for a game to watch last night and discovered that it was possible to get the Irish Republic premier league FTA on the Sky satellite (though as an 'other channel'). Who should be playing for Bohemians against Galway than Glenn Cronin, our former midfielder. He had a reasonable, if...

One teenage memory that came to mind the other day (must be an old fart) was the high of coming home from a great City win and going for a kickabout in the park with my mates. Warm summer evenings, the smell of fresh-cut grass, trying to imitate what your heroes had just done ... you get the...

Oldham have signed the Blackpool striker, Daniel Nardiello, who goes straight into their squad for Saturday. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/cc_league1/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=nonwire_soccer/10/03/04/BLACKPOOL_STORY_BLACKPOOL_-_0046C.html&TEAMHD=nationwide2 It seems that most of...

I took a look at 'This is South Devon' today and was surprised at the mid-season changes in the Gulls' squad. Of course, we all knew Toddy had gone, but I see that Sills has been sold to Stevenage (seems sad to lose our hate figure), Hargreaves is being transferred to Oxford and it looks like...

Anybody in the South Wales area who isn't feeling too jaded may want to take in this game at the Gnoll, Neath today, kick-off 2.00pm. The above kick off time comes from the Swansea City website and was confirmed by the SCFC office when I telephoned. Our official website is showing this game as...

I see that Noel Blake's England under-19 team achieved their 5th straight victory since he took over with their 3-1 win over Turkey. I'm delighted to see a City stalwart doing so well and the feature on the official website seems to strike a justifiable note of satisfaction. Perhaps Noel...

After our years in the football 'wilderness' it is good to see City featuring regularly in the national media. For example, Yahoo Sport's post-mortem on England's recent defeat to Brazil ('Capello Learns Who Not to Pick' - see current UK & Ireland opening page) contains the following passage...

For anybody who knows how to use the information. Watching the game now, so it is correct. Ukraine just missed pen - 0-0. England feed.. Sat Oct 10, 2009 5:09pm Eutelsat W6 (21.6°E) Frequency: 11008 - Pol: V - SR: 5924 - FEC: - Category: Sport - Football Transmitted in: MPEG-2 4:2:0 (PAL)...

Nothing on the site or as far as I can see on the official site about a game against Luton at Barnstaple today. I thought Mike's post suggested there was a game. Is that the case? If there is a game can we pay on the gate?

It's that quiet time of the year again and I have just come across a story from last year that I think we may have missed first time around (apologies if it was flagged up at the time). It is David Lacey's piece, "Ronaldo may score a lot but he's not yet a goalscorer". "In the Premier League...

I was interested to see that the ex-City defender Patrick Ada has been signed from Histon by Crewe on a 2-year deal. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer_ league_1_and_2/09/05/21/manual_185709.html I'm half wondering if City are going to end up with an...

"Who says you can't make an atmosphere at DVS? ... No one told the Exeter fans." Well done to those who traveled!

They have just shown our goal and will repeat it in a few minutes.

Reserves tonight vs Swansea at The GenQuip Stadium, Port Talbot Despite a promising debut by Spurs trialist David Hutton, City reserves went down 1-0 to Swansea City tonight. Hutton, playing in a central midfield role, made several surging runs and showed good control before being substituted...

Saw the game on Setanta last last and couldn't help thinking that we're lucky to be out of the dog fight near the top of the BSP. Wayne Carlisle still looks the part (without quite being able to find the net) and I think he could have done a job for us. Overall I didn't think their forward...

While commentating on last night's game between Rushden and Altrincham, Paul Parker mentioned that Lee Elam had been part of the City promotion side last season. He went on to say how well both Aldershot and Exeter were doing in L2. According to him City are doing the BSP proud! I agree, but...
