i would say yes, but only reason he was released becos he wanted to go to a bigger club. Handed in a transfer request and no one went in for him  :laugh:

He's had a bit of a bizzarre career.  He was down here at Woking about 4/5 years ago and they released him, couldn't always get in the team yet he was in his mid-20's even by then. I think he came from Brazil.  Good shotstopper, but not in Sulli's class.

He has only had 4 appearances this year, but has 43, 47 & 45 the last 3 years, so it can be assumed he must be of at least a half decent standard.

I originally only mentioned it as we will have to look for a replacement for Sully sooner rather than later, and if the opportunity crops up to grab a potential replacement, it must be looked at, and with a 34 year old with only limited appearances this season, I wondered if he would attract the attention that he would have done if he had been in the same situation last season.

Don't you just love Rovers fans...?

After endless days of miserable, moaning, sulking drivel from fans who're refusing to renew their season tickets one couldn't help wondering how long it would be before some posted a 'worth a punt?' thread.

Seriously guys, what planet are you on?

Do you really not see the irony?

I've not moaned about the ticket price, or even the timescales involved. I am in a fortunate position that I could've bought my ticket before the previous deadline, but appreciated that others have issues.

Therefore I stand by my worth a punt thread.
