Lord Pityme Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Good luck Sam, stick it to the Hibees! i suppose guys released from English league two sides etc are the market we are in now. Hopefully he's got something about him. edit: just re-read Goody's comments above... "he can play on the left, or the right of midfield. But i am playing him in central".... hmmm sound like a plan? i guess that means Flynn, S McGinn, Magennis or Erhahon will be benched?

belfast billy Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I see a report in daily record saying we’re signing Foley subject to international clearance. Why does need clearance when he was born in St. Albans. I know he played for Republic of Ireland youth team but being English born why the need for clearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he played for Republic of Ireland youth team but being English born why the need for clearance International clearance usually relates to two things Clearance from the FA where the player was previously registered and where the player is a citizen from a country from outside of the EU Home Office clearance about work permits and visas Sam Foley was registered with the English FA so clearance is required from the English FA but will be a formality. He is a UK citizen so no clearance is needed from the Home Office Edited August 1, 2019 by Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does need clearance when he was born in St. Albans. I know he played for Republic of Ireland youth team but being English born why the need for clearance As far as I have seen, every player signed for Scottish clubs that played outside Scotland last season has this wee tag line. It doesn't greatly mean anything, international clearance isn't like a work permit & wouldn't generally break a deal... Unless you're of the LPM school of thought and think German footballers could get knocked back from working in Scotland. Good luck Sam, very healthy competition in the middle of the park now & the wings. Two strikers, a left back & some competition at the back & I'd be happy now. Not too much to ask haha.

Got an award for shut outs in a run of games in which the defenders were the stars and useless Sammy saved the ball once in about 8 games. Play the ball, out of date Wilbur.

Saying he made an arse of it is harsh, IMO. No doubt about the second though. I'm still convinced the next time I watch it, he'll save it. I don't get the whole club legend thing. Club legends don't f**k off when you are bottom of the league fighting relegation. Thank f**k he did though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper07 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Welcome Sam - really hope you live up to the billing JG gives on you... and no jinxing - "He had good fitness levels" Keep fit and contribute to many famous victories !

I might have disliked one Saints player as a person but not the pish goalie, Sammy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
