In fairness Rocket, we actually had a trophy double. Not only the finishing second trophy, but also the winners trophy for finishing top of the top six post split mini league

Quick Google search throws up the following and begs the question what kind of contract (if at all) did Hamilton actually offer Ferguson ? https://spfl.co.uk/docs/067_324__therulesofthespfl_1375800603.pdf Relevant pages would appear to be 43-46 and this clause looks fairly fundamental to it all In the event of the two Clubs concerned not reaching agreement on the amount of any Compensation payable, the new Club must, on the date of Registration or, if later, on the date of any first offer of Compensation, pay to the Player's former Club at least 50% of the highest amount offered or, as the case may be, offered, plus VAT at the standard rate. All offers of Compensation shall be in writing and shall be copied to the Secretary by recorded delivery post when they are sent to the Player’s former Club. In the event that the amount of Compensation ordered to be paid by a Compensation Tribunal is less than the amount previously paid in terms of this Rule F9 or if no Compensation is ordered to be so paid then the Club which has received such payment shall be liable to forthwith repay as a debt the amount overpaid or, where no payment is so ordered to be paid, the amount paid, to the Club which made such payment. So that makes it all totally crystal clear then

Surely there must be some form of agreed formula for calculating compensation due when a club signs another's on freedom of contract within the same country. Anyone know ?

Can't in all honesty see it being anything like that figure either. It does however raise the question of how legally binding the pre-contract would be

See we've grown a pair of balls at last. Appeal lodged against Logan's red card. Fucking right as well, if only so they are forced to review the actions of Lustig, Boyatta and The Thumb. A grand well spent, regardless of outcome.

McKenna, Shinnie, McLean & Christie in the squad for summer tour. Christ used to be you couldn't get near a squad if you earned your living in an Aberdeen shirt. Not really concerned for the two who have now left, but not going to be any kind of summer break for Shinnie & McKenna.

Hun to the Huns Scott Arfield on a four year deal Can't imagine that comes cheaply

I have it on the kindle. Might not get to it until late August when I'm away on holiday. Have loads of books waiting to be read, many of which are ARC's as I get sent advance copies for review purposes.

Frankly SeeBass she can call him whatever she likes. I'll just call him what he is "Match Winner"

Given the fact they paid a decent fee for him and it is us, I very much doubt they would let him come to us without demanding a fair wedge for him, so that alone probably means it won't happen.

Well done Tom. Worthy winner.

Officially fucked. 1-1 full time Livi through 4-3

DAB's looking fucked

You're not kidding mate. Young, single earning decent money, no ties, the best team we've ever had, following them everywhere. Halcyon Days

'83 really was a vintage year. Al's 21st and thon minor event on 11th May

Simply not good enough in my opinion. Likely to make the step up to the likes of Partick or St Johnstone.

Negative pish, the sort you cone on here week after week accussing McInnes of apart from when we win of course.

Right had a right few beers here in Berlin. Get right into these sons of William inbred fuck face cunts.

Trying to find a pub in Berlin tonight to watch the game. Failing that it's going to be murder following it on bbc text.

That's so last years wishful thinking on his behalf. Think this was fuelled by them playing a friendly again RB Salzburg last year

Ha ha Fucking love it Manc.

A born winner Be strong Fergie Sure you'll pull through

Can think of one off the top of my head. 3-1 win against Killie in January. The game with the McKenna 45 yarder
