I thought it was shite when I saw it but was thinking about it the other day and may have been a bit harsh, must give it another go.

either that or a total balls up. Agreed. However I do feel that the new regime have a much more professional and efficient way of doing business so I'm sure that the legalities of the situation were examined before going ahead with this transfer.

Not the meaning of the IRA to achieve by bloodshed what they couldn't by democratic means then? And the red hand of ulster was originally an Irish thing being from before the split. Nope, I think I was pretty clear on its meaning. Not like you to try and put a completely different spin on it of course.

The meaning behind it's design, the green for catholicism, the orange for Protestantism and the white for peace.

mum's a catholic, dad isn't was just bestman at my bestfriends wedding who happens to be protestant that's the trouble with assuming, normally end up being wrong less assuming i'm biggoted just because i'm from n.ireland, unfort only the dickheads make it onto the news. support rep of ireland because frankly when i was a kid i couldn't go to a n.ireland game without hearing about how someone wanted my blood spilled or whatever Not really the same for the rep games, it was more like the rugby less hassle and more mixed I work in Norn Iron mate so I know the stereotypes aren't true in the main. It's not the first time you've gone OTT imo (iirc) over Evans being shite etc. though. Canny player imo, and you seem to favour the Republic over the North. Football team, flag next to your avatar etc. Which is funny, given what you've said iyam. what can i say the years of seeing redhands used in other ways and that flag with uff and uvf etc written on them, then plastered all over my trips around the city may have put me off it over the years Agreed, hence why I use the tricolour too, I certainly prefer what it represents.

Just slightly pales in comparison to the guy above you donating a grand.

DVDs arrived today, cheers. Excellent work HF.

So did Michael Robinson.

With this and Phorm there soon be no downloading porn. If that's the case then they may as well shut down the internet.

Me too, despite the fact I've no idea whether the lad is any good or not.

If they're buddies so what. Most people would do the very same. It happens in every business. To think otherwise is naive. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but in my book it is tapping up, not that anything is likely to come of it given UEFA's recent stance on the Ronaldo saga. You can`t say it is tapping-up is there is no clear definition of what that is. It the transfer window is open then it´s fair game. I said it's tapping up 'in my book'. And as alex has already said, it makes no difference whether the transfer window is open or not.

I'd say their pursuit of Barry is much more likely to be seen as tapping up, getting Gerrard to turn his head while on England duty and all that.

Surely if it was a free transfer we would've said it was a free transfer? I reckon we've probably agreed a fee with Mallorca rather than become embroiled in any legal action that may follow.

I was actually listening to that yesterday for the first time in ages, can't stand a lot of it now but still a few classics in there.

It'll not be long till he gets a chance to play against his old club.

The new N.E.R.D. album, unmitigated shite.

I'm guessing we've reached an agreement with Mallorca for him cock-spack. From snakes post: "As a result, the club is know demanding a 15 million euros compensation." I was purely commenting on the above. Bollocks, you were going for the 'Mike Ashley is tight' angle again.

Just shows that no one outside of the club really has a clue who we're after. I'll be happy if this is the way we continue to do business, as long as he's not shite like.

A loan deal for Barton mightn't be the worst idea. Should he play well and keep his nose clean then we could be getting back a much better player than the one we saw last season. However, should he turn out to be shite it means that we our option to sack him is gone.

Is he any good?

I'll settle for a 70's motown classic.

When we make a transfer we'll hear about it, until then I'm happy to go on without hearing bullshit soundbites, the board will be judged on who is brought in.
