But it would depend how it was done whether their fans would be unhappy or if our fans were unhappy with the circumstances. They would be annoyed to lose a player to a team in the same league, but if it’s not Dundee United, Rangers or Celtic I think they accept it in a way. Just like they’ll expect Partick fans to accept Rudden signing a pre-contract with them. I assume FA is thinking of Jim Hamilton and in particular Neil McCann. We made a fair whack from McCann's transfer to Rangers after he signed a new contract. We took both from Dundee as their contracts were winding down.

They could well have offered £X already but inserted as a clause - to have JS play this week so to give a better chance of Celtic dropping points which will suit Rangers....then to take him off our hands on Friday.

Oh I understand the point that was being made, and FA has clarified what you say too. But my point still stands, McCann or Hamilton to us for nothing is like Severin going from us to Aberdeen or nothing. It’s annoying for the team that gets nothing but there’s no uproar as that’s football and there’s no animosity as there’s no rivalry or history of either team picking the best players from the league to sit them on their benches.

gorgieroar Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Why didn't hearts gamble and offer souttar a years extension to his contract before he returned at the start of the season as he was looking good to return and a the surgeons were happy with him and the scans must have been looking good as he's past the medical at servco no problem their can't be that much long term damage done. imo the rewards would easily out way the risks at the end of the day he could have went on the coaching staff if he had broken down again hearts have taken a chance on players not in souttars class before.

Was in the Gilzean shop getting a badge made up (maybe Busby eats soft centres), someone comes in shoutig RC had signed for hIbs. The two guys in the shop were creaming themselves in delight, I immediately hated the pricks. Had to then endure Hibs fans signing Oh Ralphy Callachan non-sop, absolutely gutted. i think the following week was the derby at Tyney where we had the massive riot that enforced segregation and fences.

It's what they do. Same thing as how they're now bumming up Celtic's new signings and going on about what bargains they are when, pound for pound, Beni, Devlin and McKay are probably the three best signings of the season in Scotland so far in terms of quality and impact. Cochrane too. The papers were talking up Clarke at County after he signed for Hibs but Cochrane has been a fantastic loan signing - possibly the best loan signing behind Jota.
