1. Shalrie Joseph is a phenomenal player:
He’s a joy [...]
Our Numbers Are Growing….Join Us!!
By: Jeff |Just when it looked like Adam Christman’s brace for the U-23s was the only piece of actual news I could present to readers of The Offside: when, in my despair, I was weighing how to pass on such fluff items as the arrival of Jay Heaps’ second child, Taylor Twellman’s dining guide, or the ongoing [...]
