Would just keep Cole away from the team thanks very much.

Doing so much better without him.

Matt Gould joins Stenhousemuir on loan until January.

Good. Don't understand why we signed him when he wasn't considered good enough to replace DJ. So I'm glad he is going to get some game time. Could just get him up to speed if McCallum returns to the Arabs.

Totally agree with Bertie.

Apparently we're going for Craig Thomson.

Livingston are considering a deal for Newtongrange Star midfielder Craig Thomson, according to reports.

The West Lothian club were reportedly linked with an approach for the former Hearts right back

This is going to bring on a shitstorm from the fans that were going on about us signing Gallagher after his assault conviction.

United meant to be signing a new keeper so imagine if that happens we'll keep McCallum till the end of the season.

Callum Carson just tweeted that we're waiting on international clearance from Jacob Esposito from Australia.. can't find much about him online except the fact he used to play for Sydney FC.

Might knock the Thomson signing rumour out of touch then, same position and obv area we've been weak in.

The versatile Esposito, who is described as a direct player that can play at right back and in midfield,

Yep the Thomson signing isn't happening.

I'm told Livingston aren't planning a move for ex-Hearts defender Craig Thomson.

Been needing a winger so looks like it could be a good signing. Makes you think that Georgiev hasn't worked out, not seen him getting a game for a while now.

Longridge has been improving and getting games too but Millen not so much, possibly have Longridge down the left wing and this new signing Esposito down the right.

The CT rumour is another in a series of vile media lies. Can now add the Edinburgh Evening News to the list, horrible bastards.

Agree about Georgiev. Understand he hasn't really been given a chance but he's never made an impact when coming on as a sub. We always let go the duff players in January so my money is on Georgiev and Duckrell if he's still injured, just for the sake of spending the budget wisely on players who will make a difference.

I'm sure Niamh will be gutted to see Unclemos leave

I'd imagine Spas + Sives could leave in Jan (we're pretty well covered at the back and still got Cole as well mind).

Still fancy seeing what Moses can offer (in the way of football rather than social media)

Moses will lead us into the promised land lol

Australian player??? Must be a criminal history in his family, absolutely has to be....better not sign him!!

Aye, right enough can picture the headlines from STV and the Daily Record this weekend:

LIVI SIGN CONVICT: WEST LOTHIAN CLUB SIGN GREAT GRANDSON OF MAN DEPORTED FOR SICKENING CRICKET BAT ATTACK

I'm not a betting man, but if I were I'd stick a tidy sum on us having never been interested in Craig Thomson.

Never looked like a casanova. Just a hump and dump kinda guy.

Our new signing is on hold:

One player who will not be playing, however, is Australian youngster Jacob Esposito.

The 20-year-old had agreed a deal with the club, but the move is on hold until January as he is unable to move outwith the transfer window due to him arriving from a non-EU club.

Jacob Esposito interview on Affinity tv, he's been here 3 weeks apparently, signed too, but can't play till his international clearance comes through in Jan. Not a dicky bird on the OS about this either!!

He's picked a great time to leave Oz, it's their summer, boy must be freezing over here.

Well it looks like Thomson could be signing after all then...

You can't claim to be a community club and then sign someone who is on the sex offenders register. He could be the white Dani Alves, but it really wouldn't matter a fuck, because he shouldn't be working in a footballing environment IMO.

Is that not the same story that was going about before, and the club /Burchill said he'd never spoken to him or knew anything about it?

You never know with Livi right enough but I'm not convinced we're in talks with him or looking to sign another player in that position, that's the same position Jacob Esposito plays too, RB/RM.

Looks like the exact same story, how often has a story about us come back up in the news again a week or so later as if it was a new development? Sure it happened earlier in the year with Gallagher too about his case.

Would be disappointed if we do end up signing him but can't see it.

Probably a load of media shite, getting their monthly dig in at Livi and using their own recycled patter from last month.

Livingston, a club with a large percentage of young supporters who focus heavily on children in the area through the LYF, would not be stupid enough to employ a convicted paedophile. It just can't happen - Burchill and the board or whoever make these decisions would not be stupid enough to sign a beast when they know the tradition of youth this club has always held since day 1.

I'm not paranoid, the media in this country are fucking vile. We didn't go into administration last season, we haven't sold Almondvale to Tesco so the media are at another bam-up. Fuck them.
