Can't stand the bloke, filthy player

oooh wonder who it is Dan

Anyone seen any Toulon or Euro U-21 football?

Holland lost the Toulon final to France.

Going to have to beat Italy in the final game of Euro U-21 to have any chance to qualify.

French are decent. Along with Ribery (not in tournament as in WC squad) Gourcoff, Faty and Faubert are cracking young players.

Stevenage Borough have confirmed the appointment of Mark Stimson as their new Manager on a 3 year contract. The highly rated Stimson resigned from his position at Grays Athletic two days after winning the FA Trophy for the second successive year and taking them to 3rd place in their first season in the Conference, stressing his desire for a fresh challenge after 4 years at Grays. Boro were alerted to his availability and chairman Phil Wallace said "We had a strong list of candidates for the job lined up a week or so ago but when we heard Mark was available there was never going to be anyone else as our first choice and we were determined as a Board to do whatever was necessary to persuade him to join us. He doesn't have as much managerial experience as some of the other candidates but we believe he is destined for the top and is capable of taking this club into the Football League during the term of his contract, playing the type of football our fans love to see. His talent for getting players playing to the best of their ability has been proved time and time again over the last 4 years. This, together with his current knowledge of the level and his desire to play football in a certain style, was the main reason he was our prime target when we heard he was available. We were fully aware there was interest in him from Football League clubs but I'm delighted to say that we were able to persuade him that Stevenage Borough was a challenge he couldn't resist - one which, if he were successful on the pitch, would allow him to take the club through to the Championship without the need for significant stadia or infrastructure development. In short, we were able to persuade Mark that a financially stable club with an ambitious board and Football League facilities was the right career path to follow for the next 3 years. We're delighted he's joining us"

Stimson takes over his new post on 1st June and has already identified several players that he wants to bring to Boro. He is said to be very excited by the challenge and eagerly looking forward to the new season. A Meet the Fans evening will be arranged for later in June and the date will be advised in due course.

A Press Conference is planned for Tuesday 30 May at 11am in The Executive Suite, South Stand.
