I’m still hoping this is one big massive wind up and that he’ll be announced before the match. I think you'll be in for one massive disappointment.

I'm getting my best pointy finger ready 'cause someone is getting a good pointing at today, even if I'm not sure it's their fault, they're still getting a pointing at. The checkout girl in Tesco better watch out.
Baggins.... (pointing furiously) you scanned that twice and it's the wrong price. And JCH too. Eh, what have you got to say about JCH.

How come there’s no news from either Peterborough or Rovers with regards jch, I know there’s news all over social media about the collapse, are we waiting for the 5 minute warning to pop up Do clubs announce that there is no announcement The Peterborough chairman does.
If it's Rovers fault he'll be using Caps Lock on twitter latter.

Hugely disappointed. Clutching at straws but didn't we sign Timmy Parkin in early 80's from Sweden via Almondsbury Greenway ? Only way if i recall to get signature ratified through red tape. Where there's a will ? He signed for AG from Malmo because he wasn't allowed to leave Malmo and sign for a professional club. So Malmo to Almondsbury Greenway to Rovers.
I have no idea why the deal fell through. I woke up at around 6am here in Australia and checked my emails to see if he'd signed. I thought it was all off, so didn't turn the computer on till later and followed the thread.
Obviously it was all left too late. If as suggested the money had been agreed earlier the deal should have been done. I reckon Posh were holding out for more money. Only when Derby and another club said no thanks they realised they'd have to deal with Rovers.
Maybe as someone alluded to there was a problem with his medical.
Anyhow Posh are stuck with him now. He & they won't be happy with that.
When he left us didn't he basically force the move through? Maybe he'll get a strop on and decide not to play too well.
Just looked Tim Parkin up on wiki. He's a copper now.

Dan Hargeaves has just deleted the story on twitter of it collapsing. I can still see it.

No, I don't see how Peterborough could have got another signing in before the deadline. They knew it was going to be tight getting Rovers to do the paperwork. Anyway they'll be fuming now. They've got him till January when he won't be worth as much.

Unlike in the Premier League, EFL clubs cannot submit deal sheets for deals that look set to go on beyond the 11pm deadline, meaning that any paperwork filed past the cut-off point is deemed as invalid.

Can we sign him on loan and agree to buy him for an agreed amount in January? No. Only free agents can be signed after the deadline. I think

Maybe I've got way too much optimism but I still think the situation could be something like: We had terms, fee agreeed, medical done, paperwork signed. There was an error with said paperwork. Officially JCH deal is off. Unofficially, we're applying for an extension under extenuated circumstances, and there is still some feeling within the club we could still get this over the line. Genuinely think they'd tweet something like 'Goodnight gasheads, nothing more from BS7. If that wasn't the case. As I said earlier, I'm sure some transfers go through after the deadline.

So Peterborough have gone out and spent money on a new striker Couldn't off load JCH, who will now be worth less in January.

For all of those saying it could only happen to us. A few years ago my team here, Central Coast Mariners had a player coming off contract. Looked like he'd stay. A league rules are something along the lines of another team must contact a team if they want to approach a player coming off contract. Newcastle Jets sent an email to the Mariners. Heard nothing back. Approached the player and signed him. It turns out the email was sent to someone at the Mariners who had left the club and no one was monitoring his emails.

Surely Peterborough want him gone. They've signed a replacement & spent the money.

Haven't transfers gone through after midnight before though? Paperwork issues or something. Or is that only for other teams. Not us

I suppose there'll be standing room only by next Easter? I'm thinking of making a trip back. And also the thought just popped into my head that if we're going for promotion I might just quit my job and stay for a while.

Probably because it was too far away from the goal. They had a couple of send off's in the A league, here in Australia, last season. I was discussed whether they should have been yellow due to distance from goal Since when did that rule come into force, unless Collins fell over his own shoelaces no other defender would have caught him. Yeah I was surprised when they were discussing it.

How can that not be a red, as Collins would have surely had a clear run at goal if he had been taken out? Probably because it was too far away from the goal.

Was this posted at midnight Kuwait time? Ah, see I'm sat here in Australia. Saturday morning.
Hatching a plan to start next weeks match day thread.
I've seen a few defeats at Pompey in my time. Got a black eye down there one Boxing Day too. Twats.

Rovers missed out. The X factor could have been Jason Cummings. Unfortunately left the Central Coast Mariners to play in India (shakes head). Rovers probably couldn't afford him anyhow. The same Jason Cummings that struggled in League One a few seasons ago? Yes, that Jason Cummings who was enticed to come to Australia and turned it around. Got a spot in the Australian world cup squad. Surprised he's gone to India. He's better than that. A couple of our players from last year have gone to Championship sides.
And Scotland seems to be a stepping stone for some. Apart from the one who went from us straight to Newcastle Utd.
I see Portsmouth have picked up Yengi, but apart from that top A league players are looking at Championship clubs.
