Luke will be the third striker and in my world would come on when we have to have a goal. If Cooper starts to fall a bit out of form, then play Rodgers to break some things up. Just ride the hot hand.
And reading between the lines, I'd be shocked if Rodgers isn't going to be here. Hans seemed to suggest in his latest comments that things look really good and his term "new answer" suggests something different from the last answer.

Exactly.I wouldn't read into it too much Komba, I'd be amazed if Backe actually had enough information at this point to say one way or the other.
Don't forget who you are dealing with. These are the people who now usea machine so intelligent that not only do you have to nearly strip naked, but you have to take even paper out of your pockets, because it has trouble telling the difference between your boarding pass and a knife. These people don't care and they are not your friend. They have no incentive to tell RBNY anything ahead of their decision.

Cunts why? I don't mind all the security if I get to my destination alive and breathing.

Who said anything about "minding" security. Merely pointed out that they have no interest in "helping" anyone. Their mandate is to screen in the case of TSA and to avoid admitting undesireables if you are the HSA. Same point, they are not your friend or Luke's friend in any direct way.Cunts why? I don't mind all the security if I get to my destination alive and breathing.
They don't get up every morning and think, "How may I make a visa applicant's day better." They are rated on preventing, not assisting. They have zero incentive to give any more than the minimum of information out. In cases like Luke they are not required to say anything except "it is being reviewed" or "please show up on X date".
That's not to say that in some cases you might be dealing with someone who will give you some information, but in most cases you will be in the dark. The best you can hope for is having an immigration lawyer experienced enough to operate in such an environment. There is no upside for an immigration agent in helping RBNY, only potential downside to their career.

For all we know, Luke eff'ed up big time. It could be more than the overstay. There have been rumors that something else happened, which he failed to report. Whether it was here, or over there, we don't know.
Why should someone "help" him or us, if it's on him?
We don't really know what the problem is. Luke & RB do. They haven't told us. Why blame someone else, then?

So wait, nobody remembers how when he showed up he was injured due to a 'car accident' that happened just before he left England the first time?There have been rumors that something else happened, which he failed to report.

I was not "blaming" immigration for Luke's problem, I was responding to why RBNY might not have a sense as to HSA's decision. RBNY may have been given a timeframe when they are likely to hear the decision, but I was merely pointing out there was no obligation for the HSA to hint at the outcome beforehand. The broader picture is that HSA representatives have no incentive to be helpful, hurry things along, "try and make it work", etc. . They don't get brownie points for helping, but they do get spanked for letting in the wrong people, so denial, at least on the first go around, rarely gets an agent in hot water, where as an imappropriate approval (discovered in hindsight) could threaten a career. Nowhere am I passing judgement that if his reapplication is again denied that it is somehow unwarranted. I don't have enough information to make that call.
One of my closest friend's runs one of the top immigration law firms in the country. He tells me it is not uncommon to have no clue what the outcome will be in many caases until the decision is rendered.

Fine. I know a couple of immigration lawyers myself. My point is, that RB & Luke know exactly what the problem is. They're just not telling us. Again, fine. But they should not act all surprised that his renewal was turned down in the first place, or that he may still have problems obtaining a visa.I was not "blaming" immigration for Luke's problem ...

Doing something wrong is bad enough. Not disclosing it, only compounds the problem.

Obviously whatever the exact nature of the "problem" was. RNBY's lawyers felt that it wasn't so bad as to make a reapplication a waste.
I don't recall the team acting "surprised" it was denied the 1st time. Disappointed, yes, but not surprised.

But that would be a very, very attack minded formation.
