Apologies but at the risk of repeating what I said last night, did the Boyd move to Villa take place or not

You obviously didn't party to the extent I did in the 80's. Mind, you are a fair bit younger

Oh the good old days before instant news via the internet. I remember waking up on 1st January 1988 around 3pm with a mother fucker of a headache and hangover and reading of Nicholas signing for us. Didn't really believe it until I went to the shop down the road and there it was in the Daily Record. Think in my time supporting The Dons the only other signing that comes close was the return of King Joey. Gillhaus deserves a mention because he was coming as a Dutch internationalist and European Cup winner although we probably didn't realise just how good he was Going back to Nicholas, I mind standing on the terracing at Easter Road (9th Jan 1988) when he made his debut. Had a wee scuffle with some Leith pricks outside before the game I probably only remember so clearly as it was my turn to drive (so unusually sober for a game back then) and as I stayed in Inverness then and it was a hoor o a journey up the A9 in blizzards. Halcyon days, great memories

So then fellow D.T'ers, a very good morning to you all. Really wasn't at all sure about the validity of the Italian journalist that broke this one last night. I waited and waited until 1 a.m local time to see if they t was true and the hour came without confirmation so delighted to awaken to the confirmation that it had happened Wonder if this was the target that was referred to in the post Morton interview where it was claimed we were after someone of real quality that would excite the fans If not, then got to wonder who that was

Papers picking up on the Karllson talk Make it happen.

Didn't disappoint me Rico At least I haven't pinned the thread yet Me starting the transfer window threads is like Jim White wearing a yellow tie on deadline day. It"s tradition mate and frankly I am knackered and heading to the land of slumber shortly and didn't want you nipping in ahead of me

No by thon cunt Slim

It really never is too early and given it is 2nd September where I am, I'm kicking this one off right now. Take the chance to start moaning about what we are still missing post Summer 2025 window shutting. Wonder who the first concrete rumour will involve

The dogs of Bologna can sleep easy in their beds tonight as The Huns turn down an offer for Barron Think we might have been due a cut of any fee paid there

Jesper Karllson Truth or fictitious shite

Same for me but seems to have stuck at that for hours Regarding Nisbet regardless of the £300k being reported as our outlay, this is likely to only be the fee paid to Millwall and as we all know that is actually only one element of many transfer nowadays Think we all know the true cost will be higher

So is Boyd away or not ? English window is already shut I thought

I believe that he was quoted as saying he would like to come back Hear folk talking of him coming back on loan but why would Millwall do that given he is in last year of contract. Surely they will want to get some of their outlay back on him With Shady Mo away and Boyd following suit we are potentially looking like being weaker unless replacements are coming in If this proves to be the case then it is fucking criminal after Cormack's comments post Scottish Cup victory.

Scott Burns reporting that Gueye was under consideration but we are unlikely to follow up on it

Millwall have allegedly knocked back two offers from us. We are supposed to be going back with a third

Not going to sugar coat this in any way This is completely and utterly unacceptable and extremely worrying. The comings and goings of the next thirty hours are massive Another few weeks of this level of shite and I will be starting to question Thelin.

On holiday in the Greek Islands half cut and flights for Prague and Athens games already booked. Life is good lads

Nae doubt the Jambos are wanking themselves into a frenzy over the fact that they have broken their transfer record and singing the praises of Jamestown Analytics totally ignorant to the fact that they have overpaid for a Portuguese second division player

Woke up this morning with a fucker of a sair heid after my twenty hour day and drinking with locals in Greece watching that last night. To a man everyone said that he penalty wasn't a penalty and I he card meaning being reduced to ten men was a fucking joke Have I mentioned before I think football as a sport is totally fucked. Anyway bring on a couple of European away days in the coming weeks, where the actual ninety minutes of the game will be secondary to the trips themselves

Enjoy the trip COYR

Massively disappointed to get up this morning and discover that Bruges never scored any more after I stopped watching last night. Kind of feel I need to take the blame for that.

Right lads, enjoy the rest of this game. I need to get a few hours shut eye but look forward to catching up on this in the morning.

That is simply the best

Fuck sake guys, I have a taxi booked to take me to the airport @2.45 am and should be in my bed but I can't stop watching this. If Bruges haven't scored again by the 60th minute I think I will grab a few hours kip
