Is it not FIFA/UEFA that determines what teams have to pay for signing a youngster from another club?

I was watching the game on telly yesterday, and Villa were awful. However, I've seen Villa play a number of times this season and they are generally 10 times better than that. (If you read McCormack's interview in the Evening Times last week it seems there are other reasons for him not getting a game there). Likewise, Wigan were 10 times better yesterday compared to their other games I have seen this season - they are hovering above the relegation zone for a reason.

Surely an auto-bahn.

So that's a "no" then.

That'll be McGhee's job for the asking, then.

Is there any reason to think Luton are interested in Robinson other than some bookie/journalist jumping to a conclusion?

If anyone said "Awesome, great job" you can pretty much guarantee they were not native New Yorkers. If someone muttered "asshole" when hearing that, they were probably a local.

Aye, no doubt on the ESPN stream I was watching. They had a replay that should him getting a finger to it.

That's a sign you've been living in America too long.

And not a bad save to help them win. Was watching the Accrington v Ipswich FA Cup game at the weekend and Conor Ripley help Accrington to a victory. (Ripley is on loan while Randolph keeps him out the Middlesborough team).

The Oxford Guide to English Usage and Fowler's also prefer "ize". I know I'm old, but I was actually taught "ize" spellings at primary school.

Once McCormack is fit, of course. Robinson was saying in the papers that he might not be available for the next few games.

The good news is it's easier to teach someone to cross a ball than it is to teach them how to be fast.

"Boi" originates from the comic collector world (where "Fanboi" was coined). So no problems with that either.

Seems to fall under our "spent a chunk of his career injured, but has lots of potential" category.

Oxford English Dictionary recommends "ize" due to the Latin and Greek origins of the suffix , so I'm happy to use them as a style guide.

If fans are misbehaving "we" get to ban them from our ground. As fans, we also get to point them out to stewards if they cross the line (like the coin throwers and racist abusers at Tynecastle). But if you are OK with that behaviour, you can keep sitting on your hands.

You're assuming that he's playing as a striker and not a defensive left wingback.

You're right that we don't get to ask them not to vandalize stadiums. We get to tell them not to do that, and get to take action if they continue.

Would have been safer for Hutchinson if he'd just skipped it.

From his perspective, he's as well sitting on our bench as Hearts' bench.

So he didn't just "refuse" to play?

More the fact his contract renewal discussions have stalled.

Apart from the constant abuse some fans feel the need to dish out every time he plays against us? The last Accies game I was at, the guy in front of me was screaming "Haw Imrie, yir Maw's a mattress" literally every 2 or 3 minutes. Of course, like any player, Imrie doesn't give a crap. On the other hand, I was ready to deck the guy by half-time.

Was there not also the matter of canceling the loan deal in Australia?
