And you have to think to yourself, wtf have we become? What is football now? |  |

Eastman played right back a bit in a spell when we were quite good didn’t he? Vaguely remember a few decent performances in wins at Portman Road, including against a good Cardiff team. |  | |  |

Eastman was a lower league player. Mind you, so were many of Keane's signings, who cost significant fees. |  |

College athletes over here are having to delete their social media accounts after getting death threats because a mistake or missed shot is costing gamblers. When and why did we become a nation/s of degenerate gamblers? What voids are we trying to fill? |  |

No voids at all - it’s all down to money and the endless pursuit of it. |  | |  |

Absolutely. Gambling is so dangerous for many people, as the story about Shane shows, yet relentless advertising is thrust in our faces on TV and in the stadiums, with children watching. Players and a few people get rich, and society pays the price. |  | |  |

Yes indeed, Eastman went on to have a great career at Colchester but had we had better management and coaching at the time he might have been able to step up with us. |  |

yes Keane picked a team like that to play at Watford. Unsurprisingly, we had no width at all & were 2-0 down at half time. Keane eventually changed it after 68 minutes, bringing on Carlos Edwards, we immediately got a goal back but still lost 2-1. |  |
