It would start with "Barney Rubble called it right...." Hope you had a better day out in Horwich than I expect was the case, I'll be winging it over the snake tomorrow.

Yes it was a good day out, despite the result, thanks Traffers - Ken Jnr and I haven't been able to do the father / son Blades gig for a while due to work commitments, so it was great to spend some time on another away day and a ground that we've not been to before. I'd been to Burnden a while back - but that was in the dark ages (it certainly looked it at the time)
Met a few other soft lads last Satdi, like BornOnShoreham and Maidenhead for a couple of jars of ale - mind you, they get the train from Leeds and they can sup a few, I can tell thee.
Finished off with an Indian BBQ and Curry pub that I know in West Bromwich - good ales and good grub - before getting home about 21:30

Enjoy the Snake, tomoz - I'd arrange for a beer with you but I'm not travelling to Sheff for that one (part timer) - might see if I can get up there on Tuesday, work permitting

Copper Dragon's Golden Pippin does slide down very easily though - great session beer :)
 
Really hoping we sign this lad, be great to use this picture," Kowloon Lavatory" (from the Regal Hotel, Kowloon, Hong Kong)

Not fuckin mine fella!! The missus's family are millers fans, but atleast they're red n white, n I work for their stadiums sponsor, but that's as left wing as it gets!!
 
Wilder said before signing Chapman that he was in for 3/4 players. If that's right then you'd have to assume that Lavery is no longer a target.

I would imagine/hope the other 3 are a GK, CB & CM.
 
Let's hope we do see some movement.

Despite the positive of signing some pace, we've just sold an asset for near to 2m and replaced him with a loan.

There's a bit of same old, same old about that if we don't add further.

If he was then the players didn't do a good job at selling the club to him.
They looked flat and a little clueless with the main threat coming from long ball punts.

The postives was at least we didn't lose and we're only 5 points behind top.
Plenty of time to get up that table.
At least Lavery will know he'll easily get a regular place in the side based on today's showing.
 
This may explain why this lad has not signed for anyone yet.

We would have to pay Wednesday a tribunal fee for him and possibly the reason Pompey did not snap him up straight away it seems.

Pompey warned about Caolan Lavery ‘gamble’

Mark Catlin has warned against the ‘gamble’ of Pompey attempting to sign Caolan Lavery.

The Fratton faithful have been eager for the return of the striker who netted four times in 12 appearances in loan spell this season.

It is a bit of a lottery and one I think as a football club would be very difficult for us to get involved in
Mark Catlin
The 23-year-old departed the Blues at the turn of the year, yet issues over his Sheffield Wednesday contract meant he spent the second half of the campaign deprived of first-team football anywhere.


Now Lavery is a free agent, although his age means any interested club would be required to sign him for a fee fixed by a tribunal.


And it’s a route Catlin believes Pompey should be loath to follow.

He said: ‘Paul (Cook) has been a long-term admirer of Caolan.

‘But the whole thing is very complicated in regards of he is out of contract now and it becomes a matter for the tribunal to discuss – and that is one hell of a gamble.

‘It could be anything from £200,000 to £500,000, no-one knows. With Sheffield Wednesday being a Championship club it could even be figures in excess of that.



‘It is a bit of a lottery and one I think as a football club would be very difficult for us to get involved in.

‘Theoretically we could be taking part in a lottery which could even cost you up to £1m, you just don’t know.

‘What people need to realise is with a tribunal you are committed to the outcome, you have to pay it.

‘In general – and I’m not talking about Caolan here – but if we went after a particular player at a tribunal and the tribunal said “you are going to have to pay a million pounds”, we cannot turn around and say “well, I’m not going to sign him then”.



‘You are bound by the tribunal’s decision.

‘You have to prepare for worst-case scenario and that is one hell of a gamble for a football club, especially one in League Two dealing with a club in the Championship.

‘The situation with Caolan has never been straightforward, but not many deals are to be honest.’

Lavery hadn’t played a minute of league football this season before arriving at Fratton Park in October.

Injury to Matt Tubbs prompted Cook to recruit a player who had previously impressed during a Chesterfield loan spell under him.



The Northern Ireland under-21 international opened his goal account at Notts County on his fourth Pompey appearance.

He went on to form a superb double-act with fellow loanee Marc McNulty, between them registering nine goals is as many games when matched in the side.

Yet Catlin is uncertain whether the youngster actually wants a Blues return.

He added: ‘I don’t know if he is interested, that is a decision for Caolan and his advisors.

‘He will be swayed, as are all players, by what his advisor tells him.’

Didn't Wednesday release him and ask such no tribunal fee?

According to Paul Cook it seems they might still be due one:

‘But the whole thing is very complicated in regards of he is out of contract now and it becomes a matter for the tribunal to discuss – and that is one hell of a gamble.

‘It could be anything from £200,000 to £500,000, no-one knows. With Sheffield Wednesday being a Championship club it could even be figures in excess of that.

If he's out of contract and not attached to any club then how can the pigs expect a tribunal fixed fee?

He is still under 24? He will be 24 in two months time

Silent's right, players under 24 who are offered a contract by there club which matches/exceeds their current terms, then reject said terms and sign elsewhere, a fee decided by tribunal) is required.

Latest notable example I can think of recently was Danny Ings from Burnley to Liverpool.
