Can’t get on board with the Albion hate. They are too innocent. It’s those Stenny c***s for me - especially that Joe Savage lad.

Swann was/is still under contact at Cowdenbeath. I think that is the point we are making.

Where is the_bully_wee QC for his input into proceedings? He seems to have all the inside info.

Good statement from the club as usual. I did used to give Hill a bit of stick but I have matured and calmed down now... I am not sure how much football he has played recently. We could do better.

Or, alternatively, he knows he can do what he wants as Elgin will always take him back. I would be telling him to ram it up his arse.

Because that is what the rules dictate, surely. Why did Aberdeen pay Hamilton a fee for Ferguson when they could have waited a couple of weeks till his contact expires and get him for free? It is a development fee, we are due it if he signs for a club regardless of whether he is under contact or not. In reality NO ONE can sign for another club while under contract at another club,

We would still be entitled to a fee.

This is nice, in theory, but the reality is the chances of you getting a fee for Swann are close to zero. I assume he would sign a 1 year deal with you lot and if he was great another club would sign him on a PCA come January. If you were to get cash for him it would be, what, £10k so we would really want at least 50% of any future potential fee to make it worthwhile. I hope we come to an agreement.

I was always under the impression it was accidental but I’m sure others can confirm.

Seeing as you have all the answers, and are once again making things up, how much did Cowden ask for? I want a specific figure otherwise you’re to be completely ignored. Interested what position Swann was third choice for as well.

If your team is shite and develop a player from a young age but he goes off to another club you shouldn’t be entitled to anything because your team is shit. Hopefully FIFA introduce this rule from next season. It’s only fair - only the top clubs should receive development fees.

You’re talking rubbish. Swann is a left sided player who was involved 28 times last season for us, that’s not a handful and shows he has use to us. I’m sure we would be delighted if he stayed on to provide balance and cover, he has opted to move on though, for whatever reason. If Stenny felt our ‘demands’ were unreasonable they could take it to a tribunal, no? Or are they concerned that what we asked for was fair they just didn’t want to pay anything. Your previous post stating ‘for a bottom half team’ was really insightful though. Are bottom half teams not allowed to rotate youth players? You just keep bashing on with all your conjecture and speculation to try and make a point though.

Hope this is the start of some beef with Stenny. Now we have lost the Berwick c***s we all need to join forces and focus our hate on a club in this league. I propose it to be ‘we are the best run club ever’ brigade.

Shite for Swann. Shite from Stenny. I can’t imagine we would have been asking for obscene amounts of money here - wonder if there was any sort of negotiation on this? Blaming us because some muppet on your board doesn’t know the rules of football isn’t very wise.

this took an unexpected turn.

Has that creepy guy emerged to tell everyone how McGurn cheated on his wife yet?

Stables is the closest (assuming it’s still open) and not too bad. There’s a good pub in town with an oversized bar which is worth a visit just to see the absurdly big bar - The Dalhousie I think.

c***s.

Noooo! The Witch is gone

Standard of that exit trial looks pretty poor to me. Not sure what player we should be looking at?

Just booked the 22.48 back to Edinburgh, assuming you may get the one at quarter past you should make it fine as long as we don’t take them to penalties.

According to Hearts on twitter fixtures will be out this week.

The Shire have some yank chucking money at them I’m sure.

Off the top of my head Blair Malcolm was announced through an agent.

Absolutely, it’s still an abysmal fan experience to hear these things from third parties.
