OI - you are a sub-editor I once had to deal with.

Absolutely spot on Rob.

I expect a lot of backroom staff are taking their holidays now. Bit of a lull between playoffs/STs and start of season

Dobro utro. There's an update on SW19 now up - [Link]

I would expect something on the OS, why do you need to be on X or Instagram (who, as TF just pointed out, have little regard for your privacy) to know what is going on when we have an Official Site?

oh i see. They put a tweet out for each player and I think did an instagram post too. I wouldn't expect them to write an OS article on players rejecting contracts to be honest.

Hash, when I go on the OS I can see nothing about Neufville or Tilley

That's interesting TF, no I wasn't aware

what do you mean Ric?

Presumably the sweetener for a 2+1 for the player is slightly higher wages? Gives us financial and/or squad upside if they turn out good but allows us to offload at 2 years if not. That was always my assumption so interested to hear if it’s not right.

Is there any reason why the OS does not mention when players leave this summer?

Would we sign contracts where the player could demand a third year, however they had performed in the first two? Any contract has to be acceptable to both sides, so 2+1 only works if both parties are happy with it, which I guess Ogs must have been.

Silko, Smith is a free agent as his contract wasn't renewed by Lincoln

Out of all those not returning Neufville is only one I am really bothered about - the others are replaceable. Smith wasn't our player so is out of our hands. No way they will loan him to a team in their division. He was the only other one I was bothered about keeping

Great. Back to the godawful counting from the fans.

Oh wonderful - amended laws of the game: [Link] keeper holds ball for more than 8 seconds and oppo get awarded a corner.

Players want to play exciting entertaining football, don't blame them ,good luck .

See Ali Smith has posted a reel of his best bits of 24/25 so I guess that means we won’t be signing him either.

Ben wilson done well ,considering how much stick he got as 21 year old by some or our supposed A-lister fans😂

JJJJS- Ramsdale did OK. Mannion’s doing well.

Crazy golf UK style was ruined for me the minute I first watched Karate Kid.

Trig, from 9 year-old memories the fish and chips were pretty damn good. Don't do crazy golf so no idea.

As Mark says, the player tends to get a say in the contract. If they don’t want to sign it you move onto another or sign the deal you can. It’s not always a failing by the club despite that being the go to view.

First time since the 1950s anyone’s gone to Weston Super Mare saying “yay!”
