    IIRC we wanted him on a longer contract, but he only wanted a one year deal

    But you said no mention of Tom Heaton on their site, I showed you where it mentioned it on their official site. Plus Dyche all but signed Heaton for Watford for it to fall through when Dyche got sacked. So Heaton knows that Dyche wanted him, he had a medical Friday so it will just be a matter of time. <ok>

    There should be some comment about Energy as well to clear up all the "is he, isn't he" speculation...

    Hi Ricardob59. I spent two years in Livingston from February 1998 and while I was always able to come down for City home games and a lot in the north, due to company paying my fuel bills, I did get along to Almondvale quite often for evening games.
    They produce some pretty good youngsters there so if you do see anyone you think might be worth a look, send an email to David Lloyd at BCFC who will pass it on to the relevant person. (Probably Keith Burt)
    And living there meant I visited lots of the Scottish teams as the majority are within an hour of Livi. One of the best days out was at Celtic Park for Scottish Cup final when Hearts beat Rangers.
    Welcome to the City's nut house.

    Thought most of the Scottish academies were merging into just a few nationwide, think they have given up on trying to train youth in the same numbers that they did seems a false economy to me.

    I'm gutted. He's basically the reason we managed to end the season with the points we had. Very few players make such an impact after a single season, but he's done just that. Even though it was a terrible season for us, he can leave with his head held high. All the best to him.

    Don't we still have Lewis Carey? I know he's young, but I'm sick of watching us neglect keepers. If he's any good I say we put him between the sticks.

    Nope he was realeased along with Gerkin so if Heaton goes all we have left is the young American Portuguese lad Dan something, can't spell his surname sorry

    First name; DYLAN. That should be easy for any Welshman ROD.
    Family name; CASTANHEIRA.
    That I agree is more difficult; "Cast" as in the English word cast, "an" same as the English word an, and Heira where the "H" is silent and the "eira" sounds very similar to the old name for the Republic of Ireland "Eire".
    The meaning of his Family name is Chestnut Tree, so if the lads in the dressing room get to hear of this, nicknames like "Conkers" or "Horse" could arise.

    That sucks, although perhaps for the best since he was apparently playing for Weston Super Mare last.

    Anyone know how good Dylan Castanheira is? I heard he was fairly highly rated in the academy so if he's any good then I say we give him a chance.
