[Meade's Ball]

we're really racking up the nationalities now....according to wikipedia:

Slovakia
Spain
Scotland
England
Egypt
Wales
Austria
Denmark
Ireland
Argentina
France
D.R Congo
Poland
Norway
Iraq
Latvia
Iceland
Jamaica
Netherlands

I notice no Bulgarians or Rumanians on the list. Seems the government's England Is Utter Pants and Makes You Gay campaign is already under way and successful.

 

[perseus]

Definitely Icelandic!

According to t'internet, it's Emil Asmundsson, not Asmundssen

Emil Ásmundsson from

 

[hans kraay fan club]

That will be correct, as almost all Icelandic men take their surname from their father's first name, followed by "son".

Hence Emil is the son of Asmund, and his own future children would become Emilsson or Emilsdottir.

Not quite.

His son would be Emilsson, but his daughter would take his wife's name - Elinsdottir, for example.

He's from the land of fire and ice. No biggy.

Usually in an average year, there are only 2 interesting facts posted on NSC. I think it is a little early in the year to be posting the first, but thanks!

Is it me, or is the bottom of his shirt FILTHY?

XXXL - Jeeze, he may need to lay of the pies!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Yes, I saw that. It was close enough!

More to the point its an XXXL shirt, seems we have signed a young Icelandic Razor Ruddock !!!

That's the only sizes they have left in the club shop!

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Not a bad thing i guess, it means we dont have a high amount of large fans.

Actually it is a bad thing, there arent enough larger people being fans of the club attending the Amex and buying pies !!

I do worry about taking these players out of competitive football, like Adgestein we have basically removed them from the game and making their own way in the hope they may come good in later years.

I know he probably got paid peanuts for his previous team and played in front of crowds not too dissimilar to what he'll see playing or out DS but it does feel like a shame. Particularly in the case of young Bergkamp we brought him over here and he didn't even play for the DS we stunted his development for a year and a half when before he was happily going about playing in the Erredivise.I guess that practice is endemic throughout football though.

Amazing to think we have youth internationals in our DS team we would have been chuffed to have one in our first team not so long ago.

 

[mune ni kamome]

Tell him we can't pay pay him until they cough up the cash they owe for the failed Icelandic bank

Totally agree with you. I really do not understand players jumping at the first club who wave at them in the right way. Stay where you are, play games and progress. Ok, our coaching set up will be better than theirs and maybe he will improve. But the game is littered with players who moved from a team they were playing in to a team they didn't, and then flopped badly. Agdestein being a wonderful example. What a waste.

 

[Springal]

What a lad!

Good to see we are upping the quality of DS !

 

[Brovion]

Definitely Icelandic!
