Michael McGlinchey (Weston FC | Australia)

Saw 77 new posts, thought weemac had signed, got excited, then.........

Lets just say there's a 50% chance I waded through 77 posts of balls, c*nts and arses 

You must be feeling very sexed up Paul M ...

The other 50% is people saying they came in here thinking there was news but instead of found posts of balls c*nts or arses

No titties? Or did I just make a boob? I'll get me coat.

What does Nicky Hagar say about it in his book?

Cameron Slater is holding up the transfer because he's mates with the CCM owners.

Allegedly

Another happy day in paradise ... a song to end the day that reflects this thread ...

Fun Fun Fun... 

Fun fun fun 

until the Mariners take McGlinchey away!!

If it was Sydney or Melbourne Victory they'd have finished this in time for breakfast...

This saga is absolutely ridiculous

so much weaker than Hrafenkel's saga...

This thread makes my brain go n[vow[ovj[owjvc[ow[dfvijwouchucsdxabhijcjifoivgwfo[vb[wrpwrgfvb[poijvrgw ngvf wn

The only saga bigger than this one is Candy Crush Saga!!!

It remains to be seen if Michael McGlinchey will be one of those players as his lengthy contract saga continues to play out with no end in sight.

The Central Coast Mariners and the Phoenix both believe they have him under contract but the matter is in arbitration.

"There's no developments yet," Merrick said.

McGlinchey was named in the New Zealand Select XI to meet the Phoenix in Taupo on Sunday but Merrick wasn't sure if the All White would lace his boots up this weekend.

'I'm not sure if he's allowed to play or not."

what would stop him turning out for New Zealand A - are they saying CCM reserve the right not to release him for the game - surely that is less awkward than the fact he has been in Wellington for the past 10 weeks training.....

the central coast melodramas are killing me - get over it and release him FFS

If CCM want to kick up a fuss about him playing for the Phoenix then so be it. Him playing for NZA - seriously not cool.

I used to kind of like CCM and back them in games the Nix weren't playing. Those days are gone.

I still like CCM, they've achieved a lot for such a small club and never try to claim themselves as being the most important club in the comp. I dont think i could despise anyone more than the Tards. Sydney FC arent far behind though

Loads of good banter being thrown around on Twitter.

Overly Attached Mariners. 

At least it's not Ernie picking Wee Mac to play for the AWs.

Could CCM veto him from playing for the national team, even if they wanted to?

the mariners twitter account is trending in Wellington. That's a lot of mentions!

Ahh yes, Tinder.

#freebigmac for all those who #freeweemac

Good call... I'll see if I can sort something

I'm not sure exactly what the rules are regarding national team training camps and friendlies. The only time I am aware they have to release him is for international friendlies on designated FIFA windows and at times before major competitions. However since CCM are not paying him and he is officially out on loan, I don't see what they can possibly do.

Who are they going to spaz at, NZF???? Hardly.

Now with added HypnoToad

Love it my vote for post of the week on this thread ... 

Kinda given how this has dragged on poor weeJudas must be tied of it all so I tho I should end the week with an song reflecting the mood ….

I choose a song by Dylan, sung at the farewell concert of the band [argued by many as the best backing group of all time] they invited many of their friends … so on the stage are the following….

Bob Dylan,Neil Young,Emmylou Harris,Ringo Starr,Ronnie Hawkins,Dr. John,Joni Mitchell,Van Morrison,Muddy Waters,Ronnie Wood,Neil Diamond,Bobby Charles,Paul Butterfield, andEric Clapton.

Plus the members of the band—Rick Danko, Levon Helm , Garth Hudson,Richard Manuel and, Robbie Robertson

The song is called “” I Shall be Released “””” hope you enjoy ..

They are just doing what any professional outfit should do - why should they make it easier for one of their competitors?

Really?  If the situation was reversed, do you think we would have walked away from the situation immediately?  

Actually with us, we probably would have.
