Ty for the explanation.

Short passes don't go straight to the striker from the backs or goalkeeper. That would be a long ball. A direct ball is a pass towards the striker, but using an intermediary midfielder, maybe two at a pinch. Short balls can ping about between players a bit on the way. Triangular possession passing is "short". A quick series of passes straight forward to a striker is "direct". A lump forward from the back hoping to find the strikers is "long".

Wouldn't giving away secrets to other teams be against the FA's rules? If he's selling them, that should be actually criminal, because he's effectively sabotaging his employer for money.

The pacing on this chapter was wonderful. Was a little worried we'd be getting bogged down with Grimsby Town, especially with the "4 traitors" thing going, but this was snappy and a fun read. Also have to say I didn't mind the Tuesday/Friday vs. Monday. Think I'd rather have the grace of Steel words brighten up Tuesday (worst day of the week by far).

Wolfie or Otis K for me! I think Coach G just sucks.

K

Is he bringing the Brig in?

Oh my God, a MOLE HUNT. And no Brig?!? Yup, full Max is now in order. The players have started to buy in, and soon? They'll BELIEVE.

Jordan Buie

The final traitor and the actual mole. I nominate: .... Coach G. (I'm usually wrong on these things, so hang on to your money) Runners up include: Neo, Sam, Receptionist, Chris Hale's wife?!

Striker, Tailor, Coach, Spy

I wonder if dragons dogma 2 was any good

Carlos Garcia

Somewhere, Henri's little grey cells are tingling.

Aren't all football passes direct? I mean, I suppose you could ricochet one off a goal post... That said, Holy shit, I am so fucking pumped for this spy hunt.

BelligerentGnu

Suspense!

Fuck me, the game's afoot. Looking forward to some detective work in the next chapter.
