Thanks for comforting me. And of course this means that nobody is a fan of Leighton O'Brien?...

I am a Leighton O'Brien fan. The kid has got skills but for some reason everytime he had a chance to showcase them he blew it.

I think it was a confidence issue. He looked much better in the Sounders game.

Dipsy was a forward with international experince. why didn't we play him more often. and we get more defenders? why not invest 1500 bucks in a brick wall we can move in front of our goal? Scarlett looks promising, but i will miss Dipsy. Hopefully Dipsy gets more time on the pitch wherever he goes.

RSL has released FW Dipsy Selolwane, who had appeared in eight of the team’s 22 games this season, in order to make room on the team’s senior roster for a player yet to be named. Prior to joining RSL on December 30, 2004, the Botswanan international spent three seasons with the Chicago Fire.

Wherever Dipsy goes, that's my 2nd favorite team. :dancing:

So, this loan deal means that we may have to watch him again next year?
