Dekel Keinan the First of Many?

He’s fallen out of favour at Celtic, but at 26 he might not fit the bill of a young player with a prospect for the future considering he already had a chance to make in English football with Rochdale but ended up back in Ireland with Shamrock and Derry.

He’s got some skills anyway, a new Wes?

I actually heard from a decent source that we spoke to him when he was inside and offered him the opportunity to sign when he was released. Hence why I have half expected him to roll up since.

Not impressed, in fact pretty ashamed, but what does my opinion count for.

My word there are certainly some mildly hysterical reactions on here! We haven’t signed Josef Fritzl! Lee Hughes has paid his debt and all the anger and bile in the world won’t bring the person who died back. He’s publicly apologised, been to prison and appears to be remorseful. He’s a quality footballer who deserves a chance. I expect someone will say that the person who died has no second chance. That doesn’t change Lee Hughes’ life. He will live with what he did for the rest of his life. Clearly he did a terrible thing but who on here can honestly say they haven’t made a mistake, broken speed limits, driven after 2 or 3 beers. There but for the grace of god and all that.

I’ll support him while he’s here just like any other pool player.

Can’t say much more than what jonboy has already said. Can’t say I thought of McCormick when I first heard the news, but it’s a very, VERY, valid comparison for anyone actually supporting Hughes.

Anyone who knows me personally will know that I hold a grudge and don’t let go – Rob Edwards now at Exeter for example – but this grudge has a real meaning behind it.

When he signed for Owdham, I said straight away that he doesn’t deserve to be leading the footballer’s lifestyle again after what he did and I now can’t believe that we’ll be paying his wages.

I’m with everyone else when they say that it’s left a bitter taste in the mouth. Can’t say I’m happy with it. I guess I’m lucky in the fact I’m unlikely to get to another Saturday game this year because of work. I’m not sure what I’d do when he played/if he scored.

One thing’s for sure, I don’t want us to sign him permanently. Loan is long enough, thanks.

This is a tricky one. Due to his past and stuff.

I certiaintly will not boo him because of his past however bad a incident it was and it was a bad one but at the end of the day hes here to play football and I will judge him on that, not his personal life.

If it was anyone else in League one with a record of 18 in 36 you would be pretty pleased.

Hes out of contract in the summer, if he does well someone bigger than us will want him.

My opinion is pretty similar to most on the message boards, as a football he’s a great signing with 18 goals in the bag this season for Oldham. Off the field he did a terrible thing, you have to remember too after the car crash that killed one person he went awol for a day.

It will be interesting to see the reaction he gets. For those who don’t know what hughes looks like here’s a picture.

Lee Hughes signs for Pool

Small started at Wimbledon and was at the club during the transition to MK Dons. He signed for Wednesday in 2006 but has dropped out of the team this season.

Wade Small signs on loan from Wednesday

Since leaving the club in December 2001 Brett went onto play for Southampton for five years, the highlight playing in the F.A. Cup final in 2003. During his spell at the saints he went on loan to Leeds and Wigan. He signed for Preston in 2006, loan spells followed with Nottingham Forest last year and Oldham this year.

He might be starting today against Crystal Palace. Lets hope for another goal like this!

Brett Ormerod is back

He’s on loan for a month but hopefully it’s going to be extended if he does the business. Here’s the pick of the YouTube Videos.

Krisztian Nemeth Signs for Pool

I have to say it’s a good signing as the lad (DJ) has a lot of page and is willing to run his socks off! With the signing being till the end of the season it looks more and more like Tony Parks will be staying in charge. If we were getting a new manager you would have thought we’d let the new gaffer make the signings?
