I will take up your bet, in fact to make it interesting why not make it a grand. The reason I am so confident? We don't have a player called Rory Fallen.

Seems quite possible that the ice cream man will just melt away!

We can only hope that we all end up with egg on our faces as Rory Fallon steps up to the plate and Kevin Nicholson is proved right in placing faith in him.
Judging by what I saw of him against Argyle and Truro there is no chance of him finishing top scorer. Realistically, I cant see him being with us at Christmas. Massive improvement needed if he is to be!!

I think he would be ideal. However, I see that their top scorer - the lad from Newton Abbot could be moving to Brentford so Tisdale could see Brunt as a shoe-in replacement. As for Fallon - as posted elsewhere - NO !!!! Surely, there must be young strikers out there who could be brought in on loan and would be a much better option than a past-it 35/36 year old. In my opinion, signing Fallon would be a waste of the pot of money that Nicholson has been given to bring in players.

How come I never get any emails about Torquay United? More to the point, why does Ray get so many emails about TUFC?

I recall reading an e-mail which scorned a group of TUFC supporters for singing his name when substituted on in a recent pre-season friendly. Can you believe it? It reminds me of when Barrow signed an aged Lee McEvilly. Some of the nitwits who sit around me in the recently renamed Brian Arrowsmith Main Stand had made their minds up before a ball had been kicked. It creates a terrible atmosphere at the club in my opinion.

In this rare instance, I agree.

Everybody needs to be aware that a registration and a contract are two entirely different things..........

Any registration in a 'professional league' needs to be backed up by either a contract or players agreement to be registered in that league for only that club...'non-contract' in working practice allows the player to be remunerated (or maybe only receive expenses) in whatever manner is agreed AND 'dual-register' with another club in another league.

More than likely this is either weekly or monthly mutual agreement between club and player; but NOT a contractual one.

I know of some players who play for one club on a weekly basis but also draw a weekly retainer from another just to make themselves available should they be needed. I know of some players who are on strictly no payment terms who are described as 'non contract' and I know of some getting paid only when they play by way of appearance money and win bonus......there are many 'non contract' ways to skin a cat!

Fair enough, and true. The comment was based on my understanding of non-contract deals, which are usually appearance-based!

Not sure I get the hate, pretty much agree with merse reply on the previous page.

We are what we are, a non-league team that has barely survived for 2 years and we still have a very restricted budget. That budget has been used on the key players such as Luke Young, Josh Gowling, Liam Davis et al. We aren't going to have the money to sign a really top striker like Kieffer Moore or someone of that ilk right now. It's clear the plan A will be Pittman plus one of Keating or Gray, Fallon is an experienced player that has played in a World Cup, has played in the football league or SPL for his entire career, is 35 not 45 so still has a few years left at this level in all reality. He isn't costing us anything, he's basically on an extended trial but a trial where he can actually play for us if needed. He looks in good nick physically, if Nicho can light a fire in him and get him up to speed then he could be a handy plan B if and when required.

I'd rather give him a chance than just write him off and slate him before he's even kicked a ball for us!
