:clap:

When you see ex Gulls Ryan Bowman, Paul McCallum et al playing in the SPL for what are considered half decent teams then you know that the quality of that league must be the equivalent of Zaire so yes.

McCallum now at Eastleigh before anyone wishes to politely correct me. =D

Level of league 1?!! How dare you post such inaccuracies!

National League level at best. ;-) :lol:

My Partick Thistle friend reports;

Balatoni is a decent all round player but his defensive qualities have been found wanting over the past few years. He has a good eye for the ball but gets out of position from time to time.

We just have to hope he has something to prove and will do well at Plainmoor.

Only after he switched from midfield to central defence. He was awful when he first arrived.

I like the way in true torquay fashion we’ve already started digging up dirty laundry on said player. Find me a centre half who’s not made a mistake, and I’ll show you someone far too good to ever play for us. An SPL/Scottish Championship player should be more than capable.

Don't think it's got anything to do with where the players from, think it's more down to Scotland and England being two separate federations (F.A'S) independent of each other competing in UEFA run competitions as separate countries , therefore, if his registration is held by the Scottish F.A then international clearance would be required, sure I'll soon be corrected by Merse if I have that wrong ;-)

As for the player, come on, lets judge him on what he does for TUFC.

Well he'd be no good either.

Well Balatoni is quoted as wanting to play abroad so he's got his wish, moving to England!
