    Having been there watching it, the whole game turned into a farce. The fact the Brum keeper put the ball out of play for the ''injury'' (he was not injured!) was so blatantly a time-wasting ploy, Birmingham really had no right to be given the ball back ''sportingly''. Had the Birmingham keeper put the ball out for a yeovil player or there had been a genuine injury, then birmingham had absolutely every right to be furious. This was not the case.

     

    Gary Johnson (yeovil manager) worsened the whole situation by allowing Birmingham to score 15mins after the original incident. He should have either given them the goal straight away (much like in 2004 against Plymouth in a very similar incident, thought he goal on this occasion was unintentional) or stick to his guns and not give them the goal (which he was perfectly in his right to do so). Basically Birmingham really had thereselves to blame but Yeovil really did not deal with the incident well.

     

    On a side note, twice I have seen Tom Adeyemi this season and he has some serious talent. However, the way he conducted himself in both games at Yeovil this season is really quite dreadful. Considerable lack of respect towards the referee on both occasions and very lucky to still be on the field at the end of the game on Tuesday.

    I live in Yeovil and get to a few games (mainly away games to have a good day out). Was on the coach to MK Dons when he''d signed and thought it was a very strange move at the time. Its quite clear that Korey is a cut above the rest of a rather average team and its no wonder most fans down here are somewhat concerned what the next month holds without him. Played CM most of the spell and sometimes plays a bit more advanced. Far too good for league 1 but not sure he''s quite ready for the premier league just yet. Another loan spell in the championship after christmas would do him a world of good.

    [quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]did Ardiles once have squad no 1 in a world cup finales?   or was that 2 too?[/quote]

     

    Indeed he did. I believe there was a stage where the Argentinian squad assigned numbers alphabetically - meaning Ardiles wore number 1. System changed soon after to allow Maradona to have the number 10 shirt.

     

    On a side note - a Moroccan player once wore 00 whilst at Aberdeen.

    In all honesty, I would find the signing of CMS somewhat underwhelming, irrespective of who the manager was. That is not to say I wouldn''t give the lad a chance.

    Think people would be more dissapointed due to being linked to more exotic names like Abdelaoue etc.

    Can I just say, as a person with an A level in English Language and Literature, that ''spoiled'' is an adverb (describing a verb) so cannot be used to describe people and has no link to tense. Therefore the correct use is ''spoilt''. Just for future reference catwee. Your welcome.

    Yes, but we are also talking about the same league where players like Dirk Kuyt, Robin Van Persie, Park Ji Sung etc have thrived in the Premier League. Put it this way, The Dutch League is on par/if not better than the quality of the Championship (where most of our squad is from!), so there is no reason why he couldnt be a success. Besides, Guidetti has experience of English football with Man City and Burnley so wouldnt really need to adapt to a different style of play. Just the type of player we need in my opinion. Whether it happens is a different story...

    Fairly insulting tot he Dutch league, the Championship would get slaughtered by the Dutch league.

    Yeah agree. Didn''t explain my point greatly. What I was hinting, is that the Dutch League is not considered an ''elite'' league due to the lack of quality/competitiveness outside the top 4 teams - Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord and Twente. Thus, most championship teams would give the rest a good game. That is not to say quality footballers don''t play in the league. 20 goals in 23 games is good at whatever division you look at.

    hmmm unproven talent much the same as Dani Pacheco

    Only a good signing to those who live in the world of Football Manager and who like fancy names...however he did do well on loan at Feyernoord last season, but we are talking about the same league where Kezman scored all those goals before flopping at Chelsea.... 

    I guess we''ll just have to wait and see.

    That person has no knowledge on transfers whatsoever. Often resorts to abusing/insulting people should anyone question him. No different to dodgy rumours website.

    However, on the topic of Owen, would happily have him on a pay as you play contract. Depends what''s more important to him - top flight football or money
