Strange how Perry's form has dipped since he left us.

You'd have put your money on him scoring lots of goals when back at Farnborough or any club below our level.

You're right, RR. Puzzling,isn't it. That's football for you, though, one team's player of the season can be another team's flop ! Even the best managers get it wrong from time to time. 

Spurs have been great at it. Think Serge Rebrov, Helder Postiga and Vincent Janssen ! ha ha!

Strong rumour on the Woking forum they are signing Dave Tarpey on loan from Barnet.

After their 7-2 drubbing at Torquay, Oxford City have signed two players on loan from MK Dons and Hereford and one permanently from Hungerford.

They will be... we were in for him about 10 days ago and had conversations with him and his agent, however it was the fact that he is coming back from ACL and playing on the 3G which they have advised not to meant the loan was scuppered.

I know Tarpey has had his injury issues but if we’re in the market for that calibre of players then that’s very encouraging and certainly the standard of player I’d hope we can bring in. This has given me great optimism for the potential signings this week ?

Sholing progress to the quarter finals of the FA Vase with a 3-1 win over Sporting Khalsa

[Irishadrian]

No surprise there Their league results so far P22 W21 D1 L0 PTS 64/66

Unpleasant scenes at Kings Lynn today  Stephen Cleeve spoke twice to the Alvechurch chairman today assuring him the game would be on and that no local ref pitch inspection was necessary as both he and their groundsman  had inspected it and it was fine  Alvechurch travelled and the game was called off by the match referee because although most was playable an area sheltered by the stand was frozen solid Both clubs Twitterfeed up in arms about this

Confirmed now that Dave Tarpey  is a Woking player

Don’t get too excited Glen ? players like Dave Tarpey are few and far between.... would have been a brilliant signing, however for once the pitch was against us.

No surprise Sholing won again, and I expect them to win the trophy, we are watching their progress with great interest...........

Oh bugger! yes big shame they won today... ?

Our 3G didn't put off Warren Harris and his agent    

[Reading Rebel]

Have to say on paper Dave Tarpey would have been a real coup but looking at it logically it was a loan signing and apart from his agents fee would more than likely have cost a small fortune in wages.

Depends on what percentage of his wages we’d be pay plus if he rediscovered his form he could potentially have got us into the play offs.

Listening to the Kingstonian manager after their defeat to Worthing, he is absolutely 'livid' and will no longer put up with their defence leaking such poor goals which has seen them slide down the table and now a very real possibility that they will not even make the play-offs.

 

[GlenSTFC]

Lets hope Scott doesn’t tell his new manager what good defenders we have then...

[Reading Rebel]

Ebbsfleet United players have issued a statement in response to the club continually saying they are financially secure.

Medical insurance premiums were not paid by the club resulting in players unknowingly playing 3 games without any medical cover.

Pension payments were collected from salaries but have not been forwarded since June 2018.

Players have only been paid once on time in the last 12 months.

Quite a testament to the players that they are in 10th position and still in with a shout of the play-offs.

I haven't seen much of Dave Tarpey to know whether he would have been good or not but to be honest, I would rather we get a forward who hasn't got major injury worries, and someone we can keep for next season. 

[GlenSTFC]

I’ve not seen Tarpey live either but I don’t need to just look at his record in the league above tells you all you need to know.
