Jackson started and played 72 min against Everton (what a difference a week or two makes, eh?) in a 4-2 losing effort: "Simeon Jackson had a couple of wayward strikes from distance"

Peters started and played 72 min in a 1-0 Ipswich to West Ham: one fan commented, "peters i thought was the poorest for us , he isnt a RB"

Edgar was on the bench for a 2-1 Burnley loss to Stoke

Jake Inglis played 90 in Elgin City's 3-2 Scottish Cup victory over 10-man Ayr United

Correct if I'm wrong. Jackson played a lot of friendlies so far with his new club but hasn't scored yet?

It will take time - what is encouraging is Jackson looks like he will be given the adjustment time. Getting this many minutes this close to the start of season, against an Everton side featuring most of their regulars, is good news.

Sure beats rotting away against the likes of Cheltenham in Lg 2.

July 30

GAVIN McCALLUM played 90 minutes and SCORED both goals for Lincoln City in a 4-2 loss to Grimsby Town in the Lincolnshire Cup semi final.

Adam Straith played 90 minutes for Cottbus in a 1-1 friendly draw with Chemnitzer.

July 31

Junior Hoilett was a 57th minute substitute for Blackburn Rovers in a 2-1 win over Sydney FC.

'Hoilett was immediately into the thick of the action as he laid the ball neatly back to Dunn but his effort was blocked.....The second half saw Rovers double their lead when substitute Junior Hoilett crossed and Morten Gamst Pedersen bundled the ball home.'

Atiba Hutchinson was a 63rd minute substitute for PSV Eindhoven as they tied Newcastle United 2-2.

Tosaint Ricketts has scored again in the Europa League.

MyPa are currently leading 0-2 away at FC Timisoara and are now leading 3-2 on agg. There's only been 25 mins played in this 2nd leg though.

Would be amazing in they manage to knock Timisoara out.

EDIT:

Ricketts has bagged another...0-3 now!

Ricketts's contract expires 31/12/2010 doesn't it?

Could be quite handy for him. A half decent agent could get him at a much better club now. FC Timisoara wouldn't be a bad move.... :D

EDIT:

Superb quality Sopcast link (top one) http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=82878∂=sports

Timisoara just hit the post in the 52nd minute. MyPa playing 442 sitting very deep which is quite un-necessary leading 0-3.

While typing it's 1-3. Rebound off the post that fell nice for a striker.

MyPa have a Schwarzenegger upfront and Ricketts is playing 10 yards deeper and feeding off him.

EDIT 2:

Ricketts should have had a hattrick. He was sent clear and a suicidal Timisoara goalkeeper came running in for no reason whatsoever and with the goalie outside the penalty area Ricketts couldn't get the ball on goal. He slided it under the goalie and wide of the far post.

It's 2-3 just a couple minutes later. Great finish from a difficult angle. MyPa need to hold on for 10 mins.

EDIT 3:

93rd minute and just a couple of seconds before the end it's 3-3. Pretty much deserved result. MyPa were all over the shop in the 2nd half. Very negative and Timisoara didn't have to do anything spectacular to create chance after chance. Ricketts was taken off in the 88th minute after cramp.

I'm surprised that nobody caught this one earlier: 100-year old Tomasz Radzinski celebrated his return to the Belgian Jupiler League on Saturday the 31st in a 1-0 loss to Sint-Truiden, going 90 minutes. He is likely to start today as well against Standard Liege.
