I'm embarrassed to say I was unfamiliar with the term "dooping".
So I looked it up in the urban dictionary:
Dooping is when you think you got a booger, but you're really just shifting it all over your face.
I'm no longer embarrassed but will not go to watch the Union. Tough crowd in Phillie - also disgusting.

this is an extract - full version here: http://www.majorleaguesoccertalk.com/le ... lton-14996
When the Sounders left Le Toux unprotected in the 2009 Expansion Draft, the Union selected him fourth. It would be tough to believe that two years later, Le Toux would be the beloved starlet of the squad. That’s what happens when a guy works his tail off in the city of Philadelphia. “Seba,” as he’s known,” would hassle opposing defenders and goalkeepers as they tried to launch their attack. He’d bust down the wing to chase a long ball, then cut back and try to find a teammate breaking towards the goal. He’d play as a full back if the team needed a goal, so more attackers could enter the formation. Le Toux wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Plus, especially in the inaugural season for Philadelphia, he was the guy most likely to get the crowd, “Dooping.”

That would explain why he’s wanted by Bolton. The Trotters are in a rough place, second to last in the Premier League table. Last season, they were successful in a two-pronged attack. Target forward Kevin Davies and smooth striker Johan Elmander put Bolton in the top half for much of the season. When Elmander cooled off, Daniel Sturridge came in on loan from Chelsea and provided an added burst. They are now without both Elmander and Sturridge, and perhaps Coyle sees Le Toux as a similar deceptively fast striker (and more importantly, finisher) as those players.
sounds like OC's Total Football Wanderers is a tad nearer fruition

Allardyce has probably read that and put in a late bid..

yeah - was reported here too...

but - to be fair - he only had his honeymoon bag with him, which was basically three pairs of bermuda shorts, some t-shirts and a big box of johnnies (that Bobo had his eye on!)

he's got to go home and pack properly!

Such a non story, of course he's gonna return, he was only here for a trial and would have returned home regardless of the outcome.

That was Tim Ream, with the honeymoon thing (unless I'm missing some in-joke)

Apparently, we do like him, but he's going back home while we ask about a fee, with his club

Would it not just make life easier if they married each other?

Stay clear of anywhere outside New England would be my advice, but the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act will probably be heard by the Supreme Court next year.

Possibly, but it is not good to be gay in many parts of the USA - come to Canada where we don't know the difference! However, I did understand the improbability of a a Ream Le Toux wedding. :wink:
