    Maybe he thought it Playa Las Americas.

    It wouldn`t. Any old International will get a work permit. ?

    " Global Britain " is open to all and sundry.

    ( And if they don`t get a permit, we can just stick them in an inflatable boat at Calais and let them row over . ? Work well that , id they turn out to be no use, we can just get them exported again . Wheech !!! )


    OK, Ok. It`s a JOKE ........

    Yip I like the sound of that, the rowing over would get them fit as fk and able to hit the ground running as soon as they got here.
    Hitting the ground running appears to be the norm for folks that come into the UK that way

    Quite a lot of McInnes' signings hit the ground as soon as they started running and spent most of their Aberdeen "careers" on the treatment table.

    aye fair point DC, but did they row a rubber dinghy over from Calais to get here, maybe that would have helped them to get their fitness up, instead of as you say hitting the ground when they got here and end of story.

    Well,...to be fair, you "only" have to row halfway across. ( The French Coastguard will make sure you are safe to there ) Then , you`ll get a lift from the Royal Navy ?


    So, do we ask all future Trialists to row the full width of the Channel ??

    ( And is this beginning to get a bit TOO Alf Garnet yet ? )

    With Eddie Howe coming in as Celtic boss I wonder if it will hinder us taking Leigh Griffiths from them. Stephen Glass will give us an insight into a few signings once he starts the job here....it’s a long row over the Atlantic so be patient.
