How tall is this fella?

"As part of the deal to bring the former Valencia stopper to St Mary's, Tommy Forecast will join the Gills on a season-long loan once the Saints squad return to England next week."

I see what you did there....

I was thinking the same, unless we have an 'instant recall' clause inserted in the contract. Best of both worlds perhaps.

You laughing at the fact I'm with O2?

Good way to end a 'debate'. But I'll let you have the last word... ;-)

If we sign a Finnish player that'll be the end for me

http://m.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/new-pompey-coach-has-boots-at-the-ready-1-4076488 I don't recall the Football League giving Pompey permission to sign a player-coach...In fact, didn't the FL block Pompey employing him as just a coach last week, let alone a player-coach (yes, I know these are only friendlies and the usual rules probably don't apply...as if they ever do at PFC)

Be careful, it will change your life forever. I used to be normal before the advent of the internet.

The same way a similar amount sunk Southampton Football Club a few years back I guess. Straws and camels etc. (p.s. yes, I know the £3k in this case is fictional but it's not that far fetched)

It's a bit of a 'trade secret', and a tad geeky, but if you switch on notifications for a given Tweeter you receive the notification alert before the tweet appears online. (Just keep this between me and you though. I wouldn't want my posting prowess to be challenged by too many fellow nutjobs.)

So, just to clarify, if a player signs a contract at, say, 9.00am and is photographed and interviewed at 9:30am, you'd prefer the club to announce the signing at 9.01am rather than 1:15pm?

@solentsport: We understand #Saintsfc are close to completing the signing of #Gills goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga

I've just coughed up a tablespoon of phlegm trying to pronounce his name. This is gonna get messy on match days.

Let me know how long the Clyne interview and photoshoot took and I'll adjust the arbitrary timings in my question. Cheers

What date and time did Clyne sign his contract?

O'Driscoll announced as Forest manager. Bit of a strange one. He only joined Crawley in May!

Even if you gave exactly the same information to 2 groups of 12 people there's no guarantee that they would come to the same conclusion. (said Trousers stating the somewhat obvious)

MLG-esque pedentry alert but I believe he worked on the newspaper stand outside Monument Tube Station and as such would not have sold The Big Issue.

Erm.....I've never offered an opinion on what I think the verdict in this case should have been. I've simply commented on the logicistics of the judicial process.
