If so then Hearts part own him for 1-2 years and get a development fee as part of any future transfers ?

 

Could be - on the other hand our ‘payment’ could be getting an exceptional player for two years and we don’t pay anything for him. We may have developed him but we’ve had two years of a player above who we can afford.

 

A working relationship with Man City is not to be sniffed at by any measure

The Catholic community amongst the Liverpool support, will be just as upset about the KOP's supposed origins, as the folk that died on the hill in South Africa, during the Boer War.

 

 

This place is rather surreal at times.

 

The Irish community.   There has always been arguments as to who supports Liverpool and who Everton.      As there is a CoE church on the corner of Goodison, I always thought that the majority of Everton supporters came from the Anglican community.

If City wanted Hickey they would take him

 

City wanted to buy him and loan him back to us.

Absolute zero chance of this boy not getting a visa in my opinion. 

If he's not an exceptional talent what is? Actual messi?

Plus,  the fact that Man City have signed him would make anyone on the panel look like a complete numpty for voting no. 

 

You’d have thought and I assume we’ll repurpose any scouting files etc Man City created about him.

 

But this is the SFA and Rod Petrie.

The name kops comes from the Africaans name for a hill after soldiers returning from the boer war. 

 

Other stadiums had/still have the name kop for one of their stands. It has nothing to do with protestants. Incredible chat.

Mind when Dundee United tried to sign a player, only to have his clearance blocked, then Celtic signed him and immediately got his clearance?

Just up to welcome in another day.  After a quick perusal of things it seems that Hibs are skint, England are crap and we're waiting to hear whether Celtic and rangers will allow us to sign a player.

 

Nothing to see here.

Was  that not Jason Scotland who was subsequently signed by St Johnstone?  I think it was allowed because they at the time were in a lower division.  May not be remembering this right though.

There's a bigger picture and i would hope that if you're intelligent enough to be a judge on one of these panels, you would see that. 

Players coming from Man City to our league is only a good thing. It get's more people watching, more money coming in etc etc. 

What are the chances of Hibs getting one of these players when Man City find out that Petrie voted no? 

This has got to go through.

The skacel thing was to do with us having a transfer embargo at the time if I remember right?

Everton used anfield before Liverpool, so would it have been Everton before Liverpool who had a kop?? Saying that if memory serves isn't the Sheffield United kop at brammal lane not the oldest?? It's one of the oldest stadiums still in use in the UK if I'm not mistaken.

Arsenal never had a Kop end. Clock end yes but not Kop.  And since the Spion Kop at Anfield was named (1906) after a battle in the Boer War involving the Royal Lancashire Regiment in 1900 (many of whom were from the city of Liverpool) I'm unsure where any Arsenal connection would come from.

Everton had left and gone to Goodison before the battle even happened so it was never called the Spion Kop in their days.

That's totally right. They got a 12mth transfer ban in mid July but were allowed to sign players up to the end of August. So basically not a ban at all as it was timed to ensure they still had two summer windows.

 

During those windows they signed the 20 players that basically took them through a couple of promotions.

 

Of course they also only got fined a massive 100k for "bringing the game into dispute" (meaning years of negative headlines about Scottish football and court cases), the same as Hearts got fined for having fewer players sent off and booked than Morales on his own last season.

 

Would be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous.

Nope , lived all my life in a cave under Glenrothes , if you can’t be done with my posts , block me as i’m sure anything i say will be repeated by other posters who know a few things so you won’t be missing out 👍🏻

I have visions of Rangers and Celtic getting whoever they want and all other clubs being denied...

Did I say that? Makes no sense him going there rather than developing here and seeing if he can make it in Scotland first.😎

 

Given the City resources and set up, I’d maybe disagree. Wouldn’t want him to go but certainly wouldn’t deny him the opportunity. Mind you it’s not happening anyway.

Lots of clubs have named an end Kop or Spion Kop but I think LFC were first.

Can’t quite remember the full story why Liverpool became more known for the Kop End but I watched a short 10 minute piece on Football Focus a couple of years back, narrated by  Mark Lawrenson of all people. 

 

Yes, all linked to the Boer War.
