    i spoke with a millwall players dad this morning, he told me that his sons agent was having a meeting with the tache today, i took it with a pinch of salt as he has told me his son was moving elsewhere before and it did not happen, given that Rod was going down south today maybe he was correct. the guy involved was at Man city as a laddie and has been at Millwall 2 years , but now out of contract,

    He actually used the Petrie mind trick while purchasing the ticket

    Ticket seller: "return ticket to london, that'll be £120"
    P-Rod: "£25 you say?"
    ticket seller: errrr no, £120 actually
    P-Rod: *gives a gentle stroke of the freshly waxed tache* "£25 will be fine"
    ticket seller: *mesmerised* "Yes £25 will be fine"
    P-Rod: So that's a free upgrade to first class as well you say?
    ticket seller: no its the standa.......*P-rod raises a finely groomed left eyebrow*.......of course first class, all the way sir.
    P-rod: Thank you, have a good day son.
    ticket seller: *daydreams* i wonder if i would suit a moustache



    reports that the same method was used when negotiating the sales of Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson are unconfirmed


    In Rod we trust.

    That was one of The Tashman's many lookalikes you saw, designed to throw rivals off the scent. I've heard on the grapevine that the real Tashed Crusader is in London on a mercy mission. Apparently Cheryl Cole needed cheering up.
    Nah, he's negotiating the divorce

    On Football Rumours:

    "Hibernian chairman rod petrie was meeting with the agent of marc laird millwall midfielder who is out of contract in london this afternoon about possible switch to easter road. Player very interested in going to hibs, speaking to him this morning."

    Interesting. Seems to add up.

    I too was on that train and was in First Class going to Newcastle on business and he sat opposite me a row in front .
    He didnt eat his sannies before I got off at Newcastle but enjoyed the complimentary coffee and shortbread .
    He was in conversation several times on phone but I had work to do so didnt listen in to what was said .
    On getting off I complimented him on his "Good Management " skills at ER and wished him all the best for the coming season .
    .

    I would have been buzzing around him like a jambo at a cardigan sale.

    Seems to tick a few boxes this one.

    - Scottish player who wants to come home - check

    - Best years in front of him (age 24) - check

    - Played at a reasonable level (70 games for Millwall) - check

    - Will cost nothing - Check

    - Will add a bit of physical presence to the midfield (6'1'') - check

    Marc Laird

    i have been down to watch millwall a few times over the past couple of years, marc had a great season in 2008/2009, this last season he has had a few injuries and suffered from the fact he did not want to sign a new contract at Millwall, as stated he is 6 foot 1 inch but is fairly lightly built, he is more of a passing player than a hard midfielder, one slight drawback is the fact that he is actually a jambo!!!!

    See if you were going to London on business, would you not go by plane. My theory is that he will be going to one of the places the train stops before getting to London.

    For example, Doncaster, where the council has been replaced or something. Who better to turn around a failing social services department than big Rod?
    He came back on the sleeper train from London last night....my dad works on it and asked him if he was away signing someone for Hibs, in return he got a look that he read as "**** off"...

    Well im sure this could be a load or rubbish but a midfielder is what we need. Oh that and a right-back and a mean centre half. Then we will be there
