Plenty of "probably"s there! 3m to £4m for a one season loan fee is doubtful in my opinion. If the total amount is £8m, I'd have thought it was made up of £1m loan plus £7m signing on fee, certainly no worse than £2m plus £6m. Should we cough up another £6m or so to keep TC permanently? Not from what I've witnessed this half season. I suppose it just depends on the nature of the August deal. I got the impression at the time that the deal was pretty much done, but couldn't be pushed through in time for deadline, so they made it a loan, but with a big loan fee which was a first installment in a future fee. All speculation - I just won't be too surprised if we end up making it permanent this January. I agree that the terms were far from clear. I'm currently clinging to the hope that the recent media release stating TC is 'considering his options' is enabling TC to save face whilst the club decides not to take up the option to buy. #clutchingatstraws

It would appear that you can replace your fuses with shotgun cartridges!

So near... yet so far.

I don't think a ban reduction is an option of the appeal process.

I hope you are managing. What age are your kids?

Yep, they were waiting in the foyer for the manu limo to pick them up!

Maybe she has a phlegm fetish? Or fancied the thick head?

If you look carefully you can actually see the moment Townsend's heart breaks.

Keeping to the theme of this thread, I have a strong dislike of unintended double negatives.

Whats the issue with Lewis? Too sulky, too much bling and too much twitter 'look at me' crap!

Pleased we have a UK world champion; wish it was a more likeable one!

Having lived in/around Birmingham for 45 years and worked in Manchester for the past 4 years, I can categorically confirm that Manchester is not better than Birmingham.

The word of one person believed above the word of another based on how the different accounts were represented - doesn't sit right with me. I've applied the principle to my two kids when they were 8 and 10, but the worst outcome was an innocent kid spent a boring hour in their room. If the principle applies in UK courts, is this why rape victims are advised to wear frumpy clothing to court as an above the knee skirt indicates 'she was asking for it'?

If there really is no evidence (just the word of one player contradicting the word of another player), Celtic could keep appealing until the judgement is made under civil law instead of by a sports body. With no evidence, would the case stand up in court? Absolutely no chance.

We've been doing it for years for dozens of teams! Not won for 5 games? Not won away from home in 10 games? Not scored for 4 games? Not kept a clean sheet for 7 games? Star striker not scored in 6 games? Aston Villa can help!

Quite what?

Well Shay Logan claims that Tonev called him a "black c***". The problem is that it wasn't heard by anybody else and the TV cameras failed to pick it up, so it basically boils down to the word of one person against another. If the only evidence is the word of one person contradicting the testimony of another person, how can this case go any further than an accusation? Unless other evidence exists or Tonev admits the accusation (unlikely), I don't see how a punishment can be given.

He called the player 'Scottish'. It was later determined in a vote that the player was in fact from the United Kingdom.

Thought Curcic was actually a very good player. Saw him in Stoodie Bakers once. Such a big nose. Anyone remember that free kick he scored when he flicked it up and volleyed into the net? Wasn't the flicked up and volleyed free-kick scored by Mark Draper? Perhaps there were two.

Perhaps due to it being fairly lengthy and not being from a tabloid, I initially made the mistake of giving this report more credence than it should have. Closer inspection reveals it to be a collection of widely known incidental facts that have been titivated with a few 'believe' and 'said to be' lines. Might be true, might not be. How do people have the cheek to call themselves journalists and take money for this, albeit inoffensive, pap?

What is the 'whoscored.com' rating and how is a score of 6.74 ranked 7th and 6.77 ranked 13th? Lower score is better??

The beard is spreading. #GarethRDRgoesEbola

Interesting. Looks like we should know the result between 5 and 6 am. I'll be driving between 4:30 and 6:30 on Friday morning so at least I will have something interesting to keep me awake! Incidentally, I wonder if a level of public disorder is expected in the days after the result, particularly if it is a narrow NO.

Good luck, which ever way your relationship heads.
