Dino will score for you some super goals. However, He does have a knack of getting into trouble with the refs. Not that he plays dirty or anything like far from it. He just says what he thinks about the refs decision and that is very often enough for the red card. If you can keep his mouth shut during a game you should be ok.
I hope you do well this season, and keep an eye on Dino or you will miss some great moves.

Well considering he only flew from the UK on Friday, and was jet lagged, hasn't practice with the team, not sure when his last match was, and Im sure isn't used to the humidity and heat here in the south, I was surprised he did as well as it sounded like he was doing.

We want players that play with passion and Dino sounds like he will fit in nicely. Im sure he will produce for us soon.

Had the opportunity to meet Dino tonite - nice guy - a real gentleman - doesn't drink - a big guy with a great appetite & who obviously loves the game - he's very happy to be here - came into town fit & ready to play based on what I heard first hand from those who were in Atlanta last nite - the same guys said the red card he drew Saturday nite was total crap - I expect he will be a great asset to a great Battery side.

Maybe we should appeal the card, I think I remember the league reducing reds to yellows in the past based on video evidence.

Dino's last game would've been on the 26th of April, in a 3-0 win for Stevenage Borough against Southport, and if my memory serves me correctly he also scored in the game!

Hope he does well for you, he's a great guy and a great player.

Keep us posted on how he does, please.

I for one am very sad to see him go, and I doubt he will return, which was the original plan.

We'll try to keep you up to date, Sooty,
welcome to the Battery boards.

From his first appearence, it seems his problem with referees may have followed him across the pond. No one seems clear on exactly what he did to earn the red card in his first start for us. The opposition report that the "victim" came up bleeding from a cut.
This could have been a unintended contact, or it could mean that our Coach needs to address discipline issues with the player. We will see.

He didn't play 'too' many games for us, but from what we saw of him, he was a firey character , but also had a good eye for goal.

Here is the player profile of him (stolen from BoroGuide Thanks JaSp!)

It isn't really detailed but it's OK!

Thanks for the welcome, you seem to be some nice people, thanks.

And for you Batt fans that haven't met/seen Dino yet, here's a link with some photos so you'll recognize him at the 'Baud.

Agree with what has been said. Dino is a quality act and will bag lots of goals for you. To be honest we didn't see much of him at Boro', but from what we did see he is class. Expect him to be a great signing for you guys.

Good luck with the season.
