BackOfTheNet Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 1 minute ago, Mikey1874 said: Still not logical to me. It explains why he hasn’t joined the squad for training yet. It hasn’t mentioned any inability to take part in a medical, and players sign for clubs all the time not being in the same country (we know this all too well from the Romanov days). I mean he could have a negative test and sign and then test positive a month from now like any player can. As I say, can see why it might prevent him training but it by no means stops an announcement. They could always announce “subject to international clearance” and have the scarf above the head pic later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie Boot boy Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I asked a question regarding quarantine yesterday . Hickey has to take two Covid 19 tests and both have to be negative before he can begin training with his new team mates. He has been on holiday finding his way about, i am interested in the actual details of the deal. Roll on negative test number two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fans, we may need to be content with having the most bullish, beat them all and then beat them again attitude on the pitch whilst accepting that business is business and not every decision will, or indeed can, be utilized as an opportunity to boot all the other clubs in the bollocks, as tempting as that may seem.

I think his name was Beatonio. We were comfortable at 3 zero at that point. We were ripping them a new one Colin. Dread to think how many we would have scored had he not decided to do a Collum? Was the ref not a quite effeminate looking guy from Sweden that game? If it was the same guy I’m thinking of the Shed were giving him dogs abuse and wolf whistles galore.

Gorgie Boot boy Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 On 14/09/2020 at 19:49, kila said: Loan with an obligation to buy is apparently a loop hole that lets us keep all the cash without Celtic getting their hands on their 30% sell on. As I understand it, Bologna are paying a loan fee, and at the end of the loan he is a free transfer for them. We'll see though. If that is a legal agreement then whoever signed that off needs to answer to it, is that not a type of slave master tax return . Hickey played for Hearts first then to Celtic development then back to Hearts? Before that he was with a grass roots development side in Glasgow. Do they get off Celtics money or from Hearts or does the generous Hickey pay it. That is something else Celtic get money. I would rather hand him to Bologna for free.and recoup through a fresh adult pro contract between Hearts and Bologna with Hickey giving His grass roots side the 30 %. A loan boggles my mind though, when does the kick in the balls section start ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Wallace didn't cover himself in glory v. Bologna. He seemed determined to split the "customers". ST holder back then, as now, and was, ahem, entitled to be in the shed but chose not to. Watched the game that night from the Gorgie Road terracing with mates, none of whom were ST holders as it wasn't a big deal back then. We were thrashing them. So much so that some angry Bologna fans were removed from the old main when we went 3-0 up. A strange night. Fozzy, iirc (haven't checked) scored twice, the bizarre free kick the Italians got and Wallace's odd pricing/loyalty policy. Everything happened at the school end, miles away from us on the Gorgie Road terracing, which just made it all the more surreal. That, and the pre-match bevvy, I suppose. Anyway, how's the Hickey deal progressing? 😊 Edited September 15, 2020 by martoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
