Rumour Control

Taken from the Marine Forum re-James Olsen…

A very good signing-very experienced player with an excellent reputation. Hopefully, his intelligence and common sense will be an influence on some of the younger members of the team as we have seemed to have a lack of leadership on the pitch at times (only my opinion, though )…having said all this, he’ll probably be sent off on Saturday:!: Strange how he has arrived as John Lawless is reported/suspected as signing for Witton…wonder if he comes from Manchester

Lawless for Witton? Surely not!

He was at the game on Tuesday and as somebody has said elsewhere he played for Gary at Colwyn Bay but I also heard he has signed a contract for Caernarfon

Caernarfon? Are you serious? Club up for sale - Bottom of WPL heading for relegation - Signing contract players? I’d be very surprised.

He has signed for Caernarfon, but contract terms?

If Lawless signs let’s hope he has learned from his stupidity !

Did he apologise? Did he admit to his mistake?

I’m sure with all the adverse publicity and the ‘stigma’ that he will be stuck with (football fans have a very long memory) he will have learnt his lesson. The extra thing he will have to learn from now is not to rise to the bait because where ever he ends up he’s bound to get some extra stick now.

He’s been punished - he lost his contract at Marine. If he signs for us i’m sure he’ll be earning less than he was there.

If he helps us climb the table then i’ve got no issues. He did something silly, but there are plenty of footballers who have done much worse.
