The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Probably covered in the UCL handbook which Sid gave the link to. Can't remember if it was on this forum or the members one.

Ok thanks for the insight.

UCL Handbook:

Probably in there somewhere. I don't think it is a UCL rule, but an FA one, applies to non-contract players throughout England.

So he won't be able to play for us tomorrow, if that is the case??

He will, the 7 days ended yesterday

Jake's not cup-tied for the Vase either

Elwood looks slightly off the pace and the link up play with Dent and Gilsenen seems to suit a pacier front 2. Newman, Taylor and Morgan would be a great forward line and frighten many a team in this league..... Come on Diamonds.

Could not agree more RE Elwood - he was outpaced by that lardy Thrapston Centre-Back when 1on1...I'll be very surprised if he's a hit but I'd love to eat my own words come Christmas.

Theres a place here for Dev, anyone who saw his performance at Harrowby knows that !!

I think the signing of Gilsenan is an inspired one, we were lacking that kind of player, the addition of Jake is the icing on the cake, I think if we can keep this group of players fit and together we'll see some fantastic performances coming up - its got goals in it.

Remember, the team is still really bedding in, once they really get to know eachother someone is going to get a propa spanking !!

Welcome aboard Jake, start off with a few this afternoon eh? Alfie is 5 up on ya already ;)
