Oh and we didn't give anyone 3 year contracts - apart from him. Another little beauty of a WTF situation.

dondog - even more so when you realise 3 years as a given (not rolling or triggered, just flat 3 years), on higher wages, at a time when we'd offered Meades, Parrett and Charles (and others?) lower base contracts with boosted pay for being available to play due to known injury issues. And that was 3 years on higher wages for a player who had only been available on a free because, despite his numerous lower level loans, he'd never played for Palace in Championship even, never been taken by another club and Palace just let him go. And on the basis that he was a "championship level" striker on the back of.........well nothing really if you look at his loan history.

Well that’s interesting to know. Makes the 3 year contract even more ridiculous then!! 😮

I think when we signed Palmer we hoped for Kedwell but instead we got Notwell :(

I’m yet to understand the difference between OP being available and not available tbh. If he ever pulls on a Wimbledon shirt again he’s got one hell of a hearts and minds job to do.

We love a lemon from Honest Bob’s Quality Used Players, don’t we.

Couple of palace fans I know warned about injuries with him - again before he came to us - one of them was at our pre season games and said it. I'm pretty sure others said they'd been warned the same thing by palace fans.

Yeah, Dondog. Appiah had a long history of Kryov-Hertz syndrome

dondog yes he was - he had a poor injury track record that a fair number of us called out when he was first mentioned as possibly joining us. (i.e. before he came to us and as we all predicted got injured).

Was Appiah really actually renowned for injury before we got him? I don’t remember that to be the case. Just seemed like he was great but got that injury in his first season back and was never the same again and was out injured a lot after it. Before that he had a bitty career with loan spells at different clubs but that doesn’t mean he was always injured 🤷‍♂️

The most interesting thing that KP said was that 21 of the 30 wickets fell to straight balls. That demonstrates that the batsmen had zero trust in the pitch.

Month-end invoicing to be done today. Looking forward to having the cricket on the radio all day :-)

Yep, see that OP has managed to dodge yet another game. He's beginning to make Appiah look like an ever present.

morning sparters

Morning Wombles.

TM, in fairness to him he has played a fair amount of games in his career prior to joining us so it's not like the Kwesi situation when he was known to be injury prone

Ollie Palmer... not ready for Hull game....

Isle of wight 42 cases per 100k,.shame they cant get their businesses open for Easter in 5 weeks, sure most of the island will be vaccinated by then.

Cant see many pubs opening April,risk of not breaking even and a few days of bad weather.lots of city pubs have no outdoor space.

Yep, it’ll be pub walks again like last year pre-4 July. 11 weeks for restaurants in particular seems painfully slow, though. Still, I’m hopeful that it’ll be sped up as reality hits.

STD, i know who you are now!

Kenty, only 6 a bit weeks to go for outside drinking if you can brave the elements

Think they're genuinely worried in Norn Iron that if they unlock too soon, somebody somewhere might be in danger of enjoying themselves

We know of each other yes.sometimes your sitting with that nice wimbledon couple that go to all the away games by coach.forget the guys name,is it derek?some times that Brian the cyclist is with him

STD, do I know you?
