Gone to Ross County with Darren Holden according to Hartlepool Fail

He'll have signed a new deal with us if the Mail are reporting that.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2015 12:17 pm

I stand corrected..

Slightly better fashion choice but I've still not warmed to the top button.

All the best to him - could never fault him for effort.

See I don't mind a top button, not overly keen on long sleeve polo's.

Surely Dingwall is now failing to comply with 'League Headless Chickens Quotas', or LHCQs as they are known in Caledonia...

Top button is so in right now, gone are the days of the open button.

Having kids i couldnt get away with a top so white aswell, he's took a risk there franksy, be interested to know what he's having for dinner today, defiantly not something tomato based.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2015 12:34 pm

I first started doing the top button circa 2006, early member of TBE. I reckon he'll be keeping it safe and going for a plain cheese sandwich, might be some crummage but can be easily swept off top.

Just had to remind meself, by looking at google maps, at how far north the other Victoria Park is.......reckon they must pay well to get players to go up there.

Top button is a definite no for me :naughty:

I'm not sure I could have a plain cheese sandwich without some pickle in there.

I'm not sure Franksy has thought this through at all.

Top button is a no from me. Like a sharp suit at the races and no socks, whatever.

He might have opted for a wrap, keeps all of the content firmly tucked up inside reducing spillages.

He's smart franks, he's totally having a wrap today.

tREE_wiTH_hAMStER · **Joined:** Sat May 19, 2007 11:00 am **Posts:** 20758

Official site said we released him. So did we not offer reduced terms?

Aye true - but with most things in life - beware the leaky bottom.

I hope he doesnt have any wotsits for afters.

roadrunner · **Joined:** Fri Mar 02, 2012 6:32 pm **Posts:** 266

Maybe he was offered reduced terms with a time deadline which has passed.

I'm sure Ronnie had stated he need a quick answer?

Also cant stand top button being done, it looks utter shit.

Id probably be safe and eat a packet of crisps if wearing that top. Maybe a pack of MnMs for afters.

Maybe, I wonder when they will bother telling us that Flinders and Austin have been released.

Maybe a babybell or dairylea dunker (Jumbo Tubes of course) too. Dunker would have had to have been in the fridge though so cheese wasnt too runny.

Think Franks could do well in SPL.

Frank's took a lot of criticism, but the one thing it is fare to say is he didn't hide like others did.

It would have been easy to hide when confidence has gone.

I don't think he did.

Franks could do well in the spl
He took a lot of dross as he couldnt hit a cross

He could have gave more but he couldnt score.

He couldn't score in League Games,
or get crosses in the Box,
Now he's in the SPL....

......it's only fucking Jocks.

I don't really understand this smattering of Poils fans who seem to rate Franks and think he might 'do well' he is utterly dogshit. He runs about a lot and has a decent shot on him, that is it. He can't beat a man, he no awareness or intelligence or football brain, goes missing when the chips are down and bottles tackles for fun. His game seems well suited to the SPL.

When did refusing the tomato become a defiant thing to do? Would it be considered revolutionary to say no to pudding? Is it a UKIP thing with tomatoes being seen as Italian? We need answers.

if it's an asda wrap with some BBQ/Hoisin sauce sneakily placed in the middle he could be in trouble there.

Franks was garbage. He tried hard I know but we required more than that. Good luck but the standard of SPL must be shit.

Joe Mac · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2015 2:45 pm

Right, if Franks heads to Inverness there is a Primark, he can pick up a cheap throw away t-shirt to put over his Ralph Lauren then have whatever food he likes.

Agree about Franks, can,t ever recall Holden tackling anyone either, should do well together.

Runs the risk of squirtage with a wrap....

Given the health conscious chap that he no doubt is, I predict a cardboard Rivita based luncheon with possibly cottage cheese as he may be able to pull off spillage of said cheese providing the shades of white match of course.

I'm not sure he'll have anything actually.

Maybe there was a time limit for the out of contract players to agree or disagree to reduced terms.
As Ronnie said he wants all the new players in before pre season training starts.
Unlike last season where james poole took just before the season started to decide he wanted to leave.

Agreed - and he was top scorer in an awful team............................ :animals-dogrun:

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2015 11:02 pm

Good luck to him, he always tried but just didn't cut the mustard often enough.

The real test for me whenever a player goes is at some point later down the line, when we're chasing a game, and you think 'I really wish we had so and so on the bench'. Franks won't pop into my head. In Ron we trust.

That's like being given the 'not the ugliest bloke in Shildon' award. A horrible season which has nearly all been erased from my memory.

I agree. Just pointing it out

Good luck to both Franks and Holden....I hope it works out for you!!!!

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Thu Jun 18, 2015 11:15 pm

How many did Franks get in total?

I remember in the relegation season, until Howard scored both against the Blades on Boxing Day taking him up to 3, Horwood was our joint top scorer with 2 (1 penalty). The other was Brentford, with 2 own goals. That's my favourite 'shit brag' when listening to fans from other teams moaning about how badly they're doing.

He got 6.

1 against Port Vale in the League Cup
2 against East Thurrock in the FA Cup
1 against Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup
2 against Plymouth in the League

So he scored in one league game, two important goals granted but in terms of points gained his goals contributed exactly the same as Marvin Morgan!

Wonder how he'll settle in Dingwall ..... a bit like Guisborough without the glamour.
