Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Panda Paws on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:19:23 http://www.swfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/News/0,,10304~805037,00.html
Usual from Swindon, then! Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Luci on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:32:55 That was clearly written before this morning though and the info on our official site has since been updated - wednesdays site is obviously a bit slower to update.
That link said the talks were taking place this morning.....I'm taking it as though they have already happened and it has been agreed? Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Hexagon on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:45:53 Yeah that was on there site all day yestrday.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Johno on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:46:28 hes definitely signed now.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Luci on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:54:39 Im not sure whether it was my computer not loading properly earlier but have the official site just taken something off regarding Rocastle confirming his signing? Im sure the New Swansea date wasn't top earlier?
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Johno on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:56:44 your right, its gone! :shock:
(the mystery continues) there was a picture of him though with iffy in swindon gear at the training ground...if it wasn't a done deal by then, then that is abit stupid! to go through all that they must have thought it was a done deal. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Luci on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 16:58:31 I thought there was another feature on there!
Slightly concerning considering they had already confirmed the date for the Swansea game.looks like they quickly needed something to replace the feature,,, I wonder whats going on. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: STFC Village on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 17:18:19 Another day, another STFC fuck-up :|
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: STFC_Chris on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 17:22:23 Its still there, just right at the bottom with no photo. 8)
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Sheffield Red on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 22:36:03 According to the local paper up here tonight Sturrock is far from impressed that we have been parading Rocastle as our player. He has ordered him back to Sheffield for training whilst discussions continue between the clubs about a loan deal.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Tails on Wednesday, March 22, 2006, 23:12:22 He's been training with us though..? :shock:
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Luci on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 09:27:40 Concerns me that Iffy said he wanted a new face by the end of today.......the rate this is going we won't have one player let alone 2.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: sn2 on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 09:53:54 still on there just a bit further down

Or Claridge!!! http://thisisstfc.co.uk/News_Headlines_Story.asp?NewsID=5373 Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Sussex on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:46:57 Fucking typical! :evil:
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: RobertT on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:49:34 seems to be off to Yeovil with Claridge off to Walsall.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Luci on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:49:47 Knew this would happen, nothing is ever simple is it.............
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Hexagon on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:50:22 Do Walsall nick anyone we are interested in?
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Duncan_Shearer on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:51:05 Claridge is shit anyway.
Rocastle would have been a decent signing. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:54:25 Oh for fucks sake. When will somebody pay for all these fuck ups?
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Hexagon on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 10:59:40 I think we probably will if we get relegated.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Hexagon on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 11:05:05 OS have updated now.
http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~805961,00.html Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Maidenhead Red on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 11:10:49 This really is laughable. Not that he would have saved us, we're fucked anyway.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: DMR on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 11:22:58 They're both fucking rubbish, who cares.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Cookie on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 11:26:21 When was the last time we had some good news? :(
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: DMR on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 11:31:06 Today. We're not wasting money on more tossers.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: pauld on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:09:11 <gallows humour>I'm going to spend today watching who our relegation rivals sign so I can work out who we were after</gallows humour>
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Frasier3 on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:13:24 Did it not occur to the management to get him to sign before parading him in front of the press?
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:16:30 These things happen but by Christ it feels like a new low and has to be the first time I've seriously questioned Iffy's appointment. :(
Perhaps we were spoilt with King's ability to always make a solid first impression on players and when given the rope would normally get his target every time. Rocastle just appears to be a fuck up of thunderous proportion. I dare say Stirrcock has put his oar in and sent him the way of the Yeovil after being peeved yesterday evening with the early announcement. I’d quite have liked a Claridge until the end of the season although it’s desperandum material made all the worse by the fact it does sound like a decent signing and we still lose the old goat to Walsall. That’s two old goats and a whippersnapper they’ve beat us to this season. Things haven't felt quite so futile in years. :( Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:25:23 for fucks sake. :evil:
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:27:16 True that Claridge may be "rubbish" but that didn't stop him running rings round our defence when he played at the cg earlier in the year!!
We are fucked, going down, no doubt. I've given up on this season. Typical Town! Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:37:44 Lets face it, its not the first time this sort of thing has happened.
Emergency loan signings are a sign of desperation. The bunch of under-performing numpties that call themselves professional footballers that we currently have on the books should be charged with getting us out of the mess they are ultimately responsible for due to their largely shit performances on the pitch all season. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: McLovin on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:42:17 Another sign of Iffy's incompetence.
:wink: Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:43:23 I blame Wille Carson and Sir Seaton Wills.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: DV on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:43:53 why didnt Patrick Collins decide to fuck off to Yeovil at the last minute :x
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:48:02 Quote from: "DV85" why didnt Patrick Collins decide to fuck off to Yeovil at the last minute :x Its a fair point. or Robocop for that matter. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Panda Paws on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 12:50:25 Quote from: "dazzza" Rocastle just appears to be a fuck up of thunderous proportion. I dare say Stirrcock has put his oar in and sent him the way of the Yeovil after being peeved yesterday evening with the early announcement. Dare I say it ... I told you so. I think pissing of Sturrock, Like Dazzza said, is what fucked the deal up. Putting him on the website saying he was ours was not a smart move. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Frasier3 on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 13:03:43 Quote from: "Piemonte" I blame Wille Carson and Sir Seaton Wills. Sounds more like you are just stirring or laying the bait for LTR. Surely its a situation over which Mark Devlin and Iffy would be the ones responsible if indeed they have cocked it up. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: yeo on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 13:12:10 Ha ha ha Ive just got up to read this crap.
What a fuck up. deffo Devlin and Iffys fault Id like to see them in the stocks.

Sounds more like you are just stirring or laying the bait for LTR. Surely its a situation over which Mark Devlin and Iffy would be the ones responsible if indeed they have cocked it up. That was a joke after some of the discussions on here and thisis over the last few days. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Spud on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:15:13 Just woke up and put the old text up and seen that Rocastle has gone to Yeovil!, "WTF!" this clubs an absolute fucking joke.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: adje on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:23:33 He's shit anyway
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Spud on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:30:48 Quote from: "adje" He's shit anyway So is every other option we've currently got in Midfield. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: adje on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:32:00 True-but why waste money on another one?
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Spud on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:34:38 Quote from: "adje" True-but why waste money on another one? Cos we're in such a desperate situation we need another option badly. Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Johno on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:46:13 typical swindon cock up. Better cock up yeovil now. :)
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: land_of_bo on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 15:54:10 Quote from: "Johno" typical swindon cock up.

Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 16:17:19 I just read the following article on the BBC website.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/birmingham_city/4835182.stm IMHO, you can draw some comparisons with the situation at Birmingham with our own wrt the threat of relegation. I hate to repeat what has already been stated hundreds of times, but the players lack passion for the club - it doesn't matter how they perform, they still get paid at the end of the week/month. Whilst I love this club to death, I'm starting to lose respect for its employees at the sharp end (i.e. the players). Fuck me I'm depressed at the moment. Thoughts? Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: Johno on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 17:22:08 i just saw a big interview in the gazzette with rocastle...saying about playing for swindon, how well he wants to do, (obviously a load of crap now) but must have been a deal done or something!! couldn't have not signed him if they did all this.
Title: Rocastle - deal not yet done, says Sturrock Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, March 23, 2006, 17:31:05 i get the impression that the rocastle fuck up was equally sturrock's fault as ours.
how many times have we paraded/announced signings before they've actually signed? plenty of times. usually the loanee's manager doesn't stick his oar in and get uppity about it. |
