absolute moron. I'd be astonished if we have any sell-on clauses too given they could've got him without them on a pre-con. 400k for the best young player I've seen in the flesh. What a pointless load of shite.

Rangers manager Ally McCoist feels his club should be fast-tracked into the second tier of Scotland's proposed new 12-12-18 league set-up if they win the Third Division this season, citing the example of Stranraer making it into the First Division in a previous reconstruction.

that's very philosophical for a coldplay fan!

the first game is at pittodrie, so i highly doubt that. read somewhere he wanted mcallister.

agree btr, although i wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at man city in a few years - assuming they keep developing their facilities and don't start trying to cash in on the players. but bayern definitely is the most logical club. will be fascinating to see how he does.

Strathy police await Luton in Glasgow with sheer delight.

thought we got close to, if not that for Grimmer? If we are planning to use the cash in January then fair enough, but otherwise this is probably the most depressing bit of business we've ever done in my imo opinion. As mizer mentioned, we'd surely have a hefty sell-on clause. but if then saw out his contract at b'mouth we'd get hee haw anyway.

English Conference clubs will next week discuss plans to invite Rangers into the fifth tier of English football. (Mail)

it's not turning our noses up at 300k though, it's turning our noses up at 50k to have a class player for an extra half a season. this is utter shite if true.

According to the scotsman a fee has been agreed, believed to be around £200,000. Must be pish considering we'd be due 250,000 in compo come the summer. Unless we're getting considerably more we'd be mad to let him go early while we have a squad so prone to injuries.

if he does go there it's safe to say the entire universe is bullshit. this is probably the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard, and the saddest thing about it is that i fully believe it to be true.

bit early for this I know, but I just found out today this is going to be live on espn. Live? Away from home???

Six players leave League One Portsmouth following the expiration of their contracts. Mustapha Dumbuya (RB/Winger), Jon Harley (LB/Winger), Brian Howard (mid - almost jock international), Lubomir Michalik (CB), Luke Rodgers (ST) and Lee Williamson (mid) have all departed. Worthalook?

if a young player is capped by his country does that increase the compensation teams need to pay to sign him up after contract expires?

Tyrant, are you not aware that you don't actually need to be english to wank yourself into a coma over fit 18 year olds? (figuratively speaking)

could be the chairman floating his name about in order to tempt someone else to come in for him and pay a few quid in compo.

Quick. Ready the ROFLcopter! The Blackpool Gazette reports that Peter Houston will not be the next manager at Bloomfield Road. Dundee United granted Houston permission to talk to the Seasiders on Monday, but the report says: "The Gazette understands Houston is not on Pool's wish-list and the Seasiders won't be talking to the 54-year-old Scot."

Jamie Baker oot though. The English lassies doing well. Laura Robson's legs still top notch.

The inevitible winner of the 'nae other cunt in the race' race?

Joey Barton's twitter feed tonight...

would've put this in the reconstruction thread, but considering there's no actual detail whatsoever i thought i'd stick it here

My boss is a donny fan so he's been asking me about kenny shiels since they're linked with him. Naturally i told the truth about him being a tactical genius and a genuine ray of sunshine...

I noticed Gary Neville's legendary impartiality at play when the ball blatantly came off evra but utd got the goal kick. made out the ball very likely came off suarez last, moments before the replay showed that to be bollocks and he just stopped talking altogether rather than admit he was wrong. btw quotes still not working on my works comp mods you utter bellends

Peter Scudamore repeating for the millionth time that there won't be any version of a rangers team in england.

fuck off zander you bigoted embarrassment of a human being.
