The advert on the OS is for a Physio for the new Academy.
Try buying a programme when you're next at the Vic.

Head of Sports Science: Keith McGrath

Medical Department:
First Team Physio: Michael Harding
Assist Physio: Sukhraj Dhillon

Not sure if the Kit Man (Karl Hammond) is still carrying a magic sponge though

I am no expert on Arbroath Football Club, but I understand they may not be blessed with all that many backroom staff. Indeed, the last I heard, their entire backroom staff consists of Wee Jock McPloppy who is trainer, physio, half time pie seller, bagpipe instructor, kit man
and groundsman.

When you have a heart problem you need specialist care from a cardiologist. So I am guessing neither Pools nor Arbroath have the right people within the club to look after him. It's also important to have continuity of care, so perhaps Arbroath is closer to the hospital he goes to for treatment, rather than have to find another cardiologist he trusts if he signed for us and have to move to a hospital down here, probably South Tees.

Aye , See Arbroath and…….

McPloppy’s gone to Stockport for a club record fee for a part time half time pie seller.

I must admit I did hear a rumour that Challinor was interested in Wee Jock but I didn't give it any credence. Well I guess you can never underestimate the importance of multi skilled staff and Arbroath would never be in a position to turn down a a hefty compensation package because they exist on gates of two or three hundred. A lot of their budget goes on clearing seagull excrement and fish bones from their goal mouths.

Pools were in for him but Raj wouldn't pay the 15 bob a week Wee Jock was after.

That’s because Raj was told about Wee Jocks sordid past as a pianist and stud in a brothel in Eyemouth. Challinor naively rushed in with a 19/11 offer because he thought a brothel was soup related and would offer another catering option at half time. Fool.

If we decide to get a loan keeper in what about getting Brad Young from Leicester for the season?

We need cover, any unchallenged place inevitably leads to complacency even if unintended.

I don’t think Leicester would wantto have him warming the bench at Pools, we don’t have a reserve team either for him to play in.

It was to play him rather than Killip.

there are 3 or 4 more positions that need sorting before Killip--a new centre back for a start!
