Word on the street here in Austin is that these deals were made thanks to your owner buying a few thousand shares of GameStop a few months back and selling at the end of day Wednesday.

I don't know what you're all getting excited about, I just can't wait to see what Lincoln Mallett has to offer.

Love to see it.

Are Rangers saying they'd like the authorities to sanction clubs based on comments made by their supporters? That would be some rabbit hole to go down.

We just need to sign Gary Harkins now and I’ll be happy. I don’t care if he’s 50 years old and 25 stone, get him fucking signed.

My Alfie Cat passed away yesterday. He was a big belter and had lived with my maw for the last few years, she is in some state and I am gutted. Here we are a few year ago

My last remaining brain cells have been obliterated reading Brazilianalexs posts. God I can't wait till cowdenbeath and their cattle racing track are diddying about in east of Scotland diddy leagues

Every team has already won more games than Hearts did last season.

See if he can nutmeg a couple of folk and do loads of stepovers, we'll treasure him even if his end product winds up somewhere in Carluke. Christ I miss Gboly.

We actually have two and believe it or not, nobody is any of the wiser of what they're meant to be.

Ok everyone just a heads up what is happening over the weekend. I and the Slippery family will be heading to my other house in Thailand, where I'm registered (all legal). I've been sitting in government offices all day to get mt the clear to travel through 7 provinces. I'm on edge.....I HAVE to go for my visa, if it fucks up I'm back in the UK, and none of you want that to happen. After the final tables are posted I will hand over to @Eednud he will take care of you all for 7 days. I still post my scores and whatch the thread, so if any of you motherfucker move the wrong way, I'll be onto you. More or less get the scores in quick and stop the fucking about.

It's the chat you'd have down the pub once your old firm pals went home.

^^^ The Hamster Of Wall Street.

it’s a wind up

Best of luck, WRK

They're not interested in anyone below the championship. Their blatant disregard for the plans put forward by league one and two clubs emphasised that. Spending their time agreeing new loan deals for the top flight who get to play every week whilst doing absolutely nothing for leagues one and two.

RIP Alfie. Never easy. Was sitting at my desk earlier and felt a presence.

Mourinho's trophies: Champions League x2 UEFA Cup x2 Premier League x3 La Liga x1 Serie A x2 Portuguese League x2 FA Cup x1 Copa del Rey x1 League Cup x4 Coppa Italia x1 Portuguese Cup x1 Spanish Super Cup x1 Supercoppa Italia x1 Portuguese Super Cup x1 Community Shield x2 Dele Alli's trophies: MK Dons Young Player of the Year Not his biggest fan but gonna side with Mourinho on this one

The cup final is one of the few positives just now for me. I’m looking forward to being a #fullkitwanker tucking into a pie box and blaring the cup final song on the 28th whilst my missus considers her choices.

Jesus, your go to sources are a right pair of wallopers, Toby Young and Stuart fucking Campbell.

Welcome Jack Hamilton Arbroath FC are delighted to announce the signing on striker Jack Hamilton who joins the club on loan from Premiership side Livingston. Arbroath FC would publicly like to thank Livingston FC and especially Manager David Martindale for their co-operation and allowing Jack to make the move to Gayfield Park. Twenty-year-old Jack has been with Livingston since 2017, but has enjoyed loan spells at Penicuik Athletic, Berwick Rangers, Alloa Athletic, Queen of the South and this season enjoyed a successful loan at East Fife where he scored 9 goals in 13 games (7 league goals in 9 games) and was named SPFL Scottish League One Player of the Month for December. Jack was recalled by Livingston on the 8th January and scored on his return against Ross County in the Premiership before coming on against Celtic at Parkhead in the 75th minute in the 0-0 draw. Just days later and Jack started against Celtic in the 2-2 draw as he led the line at the Tony Macaroni Arena. At a young age Jack already has vast experience in the Premiership, Championship, League One and League Two and will be a great addition to our team. Jack will go straight into the squad for tomorrow’s trip to Greenock Morton. Welcome to the club! C’mon the Lichties

https://www.clydebankpost.co.uk/sport/19043357.clydebank-f-c-chair-grace-mcgibbon-believes-football-break-hasnt-slowed-pace-off-pitch/ Clydebank with an audit last week, must be confident of having everything sorted next month.

Boris could have stood outside No. 10 to deliver his drivel. It was a vanity trip.

He's always nearly pickled.

Well, they chose to relegate Hearts last season, so

If we get a million for Porteous and you 2 million for cosgrove on current trajectory I will never moan about Scottish clubs being screwed by English clubs again

I thought this last night. He's either going to be a phenomenal signing and take us to the brink of Europe (before leaving on a PCA to Hibs) or going to be livin' la vida loca at crack dens on the bottom o' the hill and we'll be dragged into admin 3 when the Americans piss off because Jason keeps turning up with his jaw swinging. One thing it won't be - boring. Canna fucking wait. DDYB.

I’m pretty sure we had a “No dogs on the bed” rule.

Why would Sturgeon have been so worried about a Salmond come back, when, according his pal Craig Murray, all he wanted was to be chairman of Johnstone Press, and he'd shown no signs of political activity apart from signing up with RT, that she'd gamble everything by somehow persuading ten women to lie in court against him? It's robot planes on 9/11 levels of fantasy.

I'd kill roughly 12 pensioners to watch Greg Stewart grace Dens again.

Even Joanna Cherry knows that Joanna Cherry is a fucking cretin who would literally kill the independence movement stone dead the day she's (hopefully never) elected leader.

A worse man would make a Jimmy Savile reference here. I'm above that though.

Sow is pay as you play. Obviously he'll get a basic rate, but it won't be much. Afolabi is a loan. Doubtful he'll be a high earner at Celtic and we gifted them their title last season so ya know, likely a freebie. Hamilton is meant to be a winger but we're paying for his digs and his Canadian club are taking care of the rest pretty much. That leaves Mullen, Jakubiak and Cummings. I've no doubt that Jakubiak will be receiving a decent wage. St Mirren balked at paying him what his agent wanted and then he couldn't get a club for a while. He'll be one of our higher earners, for sure, but you'd have to imagine he's on less than what Hemmings was the previous year, Cummings will be receiving a slice of the pie of our insurance money/Tim Keyes family fortune/Sturgeon's 500k grant. Mullen won't command too much. He wasn't wanted at St Mirren and has been a Championship jobber all his life. So yes, Jakubiak, Cummings & Adam will be very high earners for this level. 1 of which is being funded outwith the club. So now we're quibbling about a club having 2 high earners? That's a stretch.

I'd think the right thing to do is pocket the fee and work with loans. I'd like to see Ross Stewart brought in as one of four strikers in the summer

That's right, take your lack of moral compass elsewhere.

Yet, here we are, four posts in to a Celtic/St Mirren thread...

I'm obviously biased but that's now two excellent podcasts that are done by Livi fans. I've listened to a couple of different clubs ones over the years and, while I appreciate the time and effort that any fan of any club puts in to doing this kind of stuff, TalkLivi and now the Almondview are both far better than anything else I've heard.

So he was running towards the opposition goals? Something to build on.

By the same token then, if they have no societal responsibility and the taxpayer should bear all the cost once they've successfully developed a vaccine, AZ and other pharmaceutical companies can give up all the public money shovelled at them for research, or at the very least governments should be granted shares to the value of their colossal funding.

Has anyone watched Fagan-Walcott's interview on DeeTV? Holy moly. Very laid back demeanour. Gets asked how did the move come about, 'At first, I didn't think about it because I didn't know where that was. Oh yeah, Scotland.' Then he says, 'It's about helping you, help me sort of thing. It's to get game time, but with men. I'll bring everything I know about training with top players here and hopefully learn from the players here.' Finally, he's asked about Raith and says, 'I Google'd Raith so I know a bit and I Youtube'd their striker so I'm ready.'

Incase mad Mike Barile is looking in, can I just say a big thank you to oor Supreme Leader Miss Sturgeon for her half million pound donation to the Derryboy’s funds. Thank you Nicola, thank you

I feel it's very statistically important to flag that every team in the league, with minimum 24 games played, has now surpassed Heart of Midlothian Football Club's total of four (4) wins last season.

It’s the ding-dong in the Kingdom. Tensions were rising, callouts were issued and accepted. The Cat Canelo is a p4p great. The hound, less so. Round one and already Muffy makes a mockery of Renton’s reach advantage, landing a double paw jab then crashing a solid left into the chest. The beat down is only just starting and Muffy lands the classic jab, hook, bite. Renton has a great chin but his shots are hitting fresh air as Muffy crashes a right to the throat touches the body then lands an overhand right to the head. Renton looks to his corner and the referee calls it off as Muffy tries to remove a leg. The hound, crushed, is sent back to his sofa as Muffy retains the WBC (windowsill boxing championship) belt
