Quoted from monkeyboy
We have a goal scorer on the transfer list who is not being given a fair crack. He’s the most natural finisher we have had in the club for a while and has a seemingly good attitude.
Played a bit in a team that made no chances last season and for me could easily knock them away given the service.

It’s Ira  Jackson.  I liked him and think he deserves a run while we look for someone, might come good and save a few quid as he pretty cheap by all accounts.


Being able to hold down a conversation with Radio Humberside for 45 minutes does not mean you have good character.

Hurst has seen plenty of him around the place to make a better informed judgement on his ability and character than any of us.

Ira Jackson couldn’t hold down a starting place in a relegated team. Not good enough.

If he was such a goal scorer at our level, why has nobody else given him a chance? He scored goals two divisions below the league we're in now, a world away from professional football. Nowhere near good enough and too old to make it in the professional game now if he can't get in the worst team in the FL.

Hurts to read that as I had high hopes for him when he signed for Grimsby. Struck me as someone with a very good heart and the determination to do well. Hope he still becomes a success if not league then at semi professional level. No shame in that as we can't all play for Real Madrid. Likewise even at semi professional level that's still decent and something to be proud about. Hence how many football fans are good enough to play semi pro football. Very few.


One life,one love .

He's 24 FFS, there are many players that have become FL players later on in life. Don't need to provide the obvious example.

To throw it out their, although I am not professional.. I'm 32 and I'd say (when I'm fit) I'm a better player now then i was when I was younger. Ok I've lost a bit of pace but the intelligence and experience counts for an extra yard or two..
What I'm trying to say 32-33 years old isn't a bad age at all for a professional footballer. Infact I'd say its the perfect age we should be looking for. Plenty of experience but still young enough to be fit.
