Should be sacked for that last sentence alone.

Markanday subbed on in the 84th min for Aberdeen. Losing 1-2, with a man sent off.

Markanday on the bench for Aberdeen tonight

I can't for the life of me accept that a championship football club, a premier league football club and a premier League player and agent, would not have known this detail to get the deal done. All parties surely have access to well paid legal advice on these things.

Obviously, seems like Rovers have dropped a bollock here but the EFL are a set of cretins as well. O'Brien clearly has no future at Forest but they are clearly not arsed about the players career, just happy to block it and let him rot in the Forest's reserves.

Just about to post the same thing. We either made it, or we didn't. Why we have to sit around for a further 18hours to find out is utterly ridiculous

He looks thrilled

I'm not complaining at all but if we end up with 2 loan players (neither of which we have any chance of signing permanently) as our starting cm's, kinda goes against not blocking the path for our own players, no?

Only 2 deals suggests O'Brien and the Rochdale lad. No striker is a huge disappointment but O'Brien is a great signing. Odd that we'd bring in 2 centre mids without loaning out Garrett or Wharton though. Morton, Wharton, Garrett, Travis, Buckley, O'Brien and Rochdale all for 2 places? Mental.

It's nearly 11:30 on the day after the window closed. Surely, any announcements would have been done by now? Even if they have some photos to take and stuff, must have been done by now.

FFS now that would be really bloody annoying!

😂 Now that would be typical Rovers!

More likely end up signing the Rochdale kid and no one else. (Was it Rochdale?)

Shelvey confirmed to forest, might have been waiting on that?

Side show is finished (we won 0-1) onto the main event!

Good win, into the next round!

Yep.

Szmodics cross turned into his own net by a Brummie defender.

Extra time, annoying

It's not always Rovers fault, the Brighton lad, for example, sounds like we had it all agreed and sorted but he changed his mind. Not much we can do But overall, yes, leaving it till now is frustrating.

It was more that, if we've known about O'Brien for this long, surely any other names would have been leaked by now

It feels like it's taken an age to get O'Brien over the line (still not confirmed), I doubt we'll have another in by 11pm.

I thought he said it was done but I was trying to hear it over my noisy kids.

SSN reporting O'Brien is done.

Ah ok, thought it came from JDT. My bad.
