No. No it's not. Not at all.

What's the signature about? Is it like a logo or representative of something? I guess if you didn't know it was a Rory Fallon shirt, you would not know Rory Fallon signed it.

Hi Jeff, it wrote "To David God Bless" then his autograph. Well if this shirt is Gerrard Lampard or Rooney, think it must be not their signature, but, Rory Fallon only, I doubt Crawley will get someone to sign his name, he has to do by himself.

Also, I previous ask to the club just to write To David, mostly the players will also write BEST WISHES, but since Rory is Christian, so he will write God Bless, reasonable that must be his writing and autograph!!! ;-)

Yes you are right, certainly you can't read R and F in it, but if you see his Plymouth autograph, it's correct.

Yes, from the match report he seems nearly had an assist to Matt Tubbs! Sadly Crawley lost the game 0:1...

Gillingham vs Crawley, start from 1:08 you can see Rory in action, nearly get a pk and a good lay back to teammates, but seems he can't win the header and then they scored the winner. If Rory get more minutes under his belt think he will score soon.

I was not knocking Rory for signing his shirts that way at all. I just wanted to know what the hell it was. I see 3 circles and what looks like a cross.

Hi Jeff, I understand what you means and yes that's 3 circles, and if compare the Plymouth one, it's only 2 circles! Anyway I still love the shirt since it's my birthday present (March 6th)! I really hope he will earn the contract with them next season too, since I will go to England in October 2014, hopefully I will meet him personally and watch he play!!!

Crawley away to Shrewsbury tomorrow night, hope Rory will start!!!

Rory made his full debut for Crawley tonight, 1:1 draw with the Shrews, Rory did not score but think make a good shift. Here's one of the tweet from the club in the first half:

@crawleytown: Fallon has done really well in the air so far, Clarke whispered for the flick on and Fallon hasn't lost an aerial duel so far.

John Gregory made two changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Shrewsbury with Matt Tubbs replacing Rory Fallon, who had a heel problem, and Andy Drury returning at the expense of Gary Dicker.

I really, really can't believe what I receive today, my credit card bill and the parcel.

My credit card NEVER been charged by Crawley Town Football Club, but what I receive from them is the shirt, shorts and the programme with Rory Fallon interview in it. I clearly give all my payment details to them, but what they did is sending me things but without charged me. I had to send e-mail to see if they did anything wrong...:-X

Crawley 16th in 24 team league with 3 - 4 games in hand on all other teams.

Rory start yesterday's game against Port Vale, play 79th minutes of the game, heavily involved in the Crawley goal as he was brought down in the area. Also he had a few chances to score,

Official short highlights of the game, you can see Rory clearly brought down by the defender.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f83M27zfD0

There are 9 pictures of Rory in action, I had put one of them as my wallpaper already

http://www.crawleytownfc.com/news/article/02-04-port-vale-a-gallery-1462489.aspx

Another Rory's scoring chance, from my phone taken down, sorry for the poor quality.

Seems Rory out of favor with JG, only come on the game on last Saturday in 88th min. Maybe face the release at the end of the season.

Rory's career seems to be going nowhere slowly at Crawley Town:

Since coming on as an 88 min. sub in the 2-0 away win v MK Dons on April 12, Rory stayed on the bench for the three subsequent games - in the 2-0 home win v Tranmere on 15 April, and the two Easter matches - the 2-1 home win v Orient and  the 1-0 away loss v Notts County.

New club for Rory?

SCUNTHORPE United will make a decision on whether or not to offer deals to Rory Fallon and Nicky Featherstone in the next 48 hours.

Boss Russ Wilcox has confirmed he will provide the duo with a firm answer on their futures at Glanford Park after watching them play 90 minutes in yesterday’s reserve run out against Mansfield Town.

Fallon, an experienced striker who has played for club’s including Swansea City and Plymouth Argyle earlier in his career, certainly did his chances no harm by netting the Iron’s goal in a 1-1 draw in the Final Third Development League East Division clash.

The 32-year-old, a former New Zealand international, found space in the penalty area to meet a right-wing cross by Eddie Nolan and guide the ball in via the inside of the far post. Fallon also came close to netting a late winner, with a header hitting the woodwork.

Rory Fallon: Scunthorpe United sign New Zealand striker

Scunthorpe United have signed New Zealand international striker Rory Fallon on a three-month deal.

The 32-year-old was a free agent after leaving Crawley at the end of last season.

Fallon started his career with Barnsley and has played for 11 different clubs, including a spell in Scotland with Aberdeen and St Johnstone.

He could make his debut for the Iron, who are currently 22nd in League One, in Saturday's trip to Oldham.

Always thought this town had a shite name. Never been there but must be as bad as it sounds. Definitely Rory is on his last legs. Think he may be better knocking heads against Indians or Chinamen in their leagues in could be a superstar

Auckland will rise once more
