Andy Rafferty, goalkeeper

Excellent signing. Exactly what we need, another rookie goalkeeper to have his career blossom at HUFC.

Very confident about the new season!!

He put in an excellent performance in the reserve game I saw him in (can't remember the opposition- think we won 1-0). He's about 7 foot 8 so that instills confidence and was a decent shot stopper on the day.

One CT.

I reckon Mr EfaneKOKu is a trick poster cleverly designed to make real negative posters look like KOKs. Its gone on long enough though, can whoever came up with this clever plan stop it now?

I wont rise to your bait, born toulouse. I'm just spreading the vibes of positivty around for the greater good.

No bait, serious point. We've signed a young keeper who must have potential. Few of us will have seen him play so we'll have to see how he gets on. He isn't instead of other signings and won't be getting paid a lot so why criticise before he's even had a run in the reserves, nevermind the first team?

good luck to the lad i hope he grasps his oppertunity with both hands

Is this the lad we had on trial from Guisborough?

Either way if he is capable of providing cover for Flinders in the first team its no bad thing. Seems silly paying top money for a second choice keeper as long as we have an adequate one on the bench.

Being positive for a minute if he costs little money it means that more is free to pay wages/fees for a decent forward that can bag 20+ a season, or for hypnotherapy to bring back the version of Adam Boyd that proved capable of that.

Yes it is and did okay

Sounds encouraging. It would be good to have a decent back up for Flinders. It wont be the end of the world if he isnt much good as he wont be on a high wage and if the worst comes to the worst then Flinders keeps the No1 jersey.

A sub keepers a sub keeper, Flinders is number one so like said above just need an adequate one in reserve.

Ideally I'd like to see us get Jim Provett back from Gateshead as number 2 though
