Town Launch Red Card Appeal Mon 07th Jan 2008 13:07 Town have confirmed that as expected they will be appealing against Liam Trotter's red card during Saturday's FA Cup third round defeat to Portsmouth. Bolton-based referee Mark Halsey's decision was widely condemned by media pundits over the weekend. |
Robert Set to Sign for Derby Mon 07th Jan 2008 12:58 Former Newcastle man Laurent Robert is set to join Derby County this week after a trial.

Strong Reserves Side Faces Peterborough Mon 07th Jan 2008 10:53 Town have named a strong side for this afternoon's reserves game with Peterborough United at Playford Road (KO 2pm). The match was moved from Portman Road to reduce the number of games being played on the main pitch. |

Haynes Link One of Many Tabloid Rumours Sun 06th Jan 2008 10:43 Town feature heavily in Sunday's tabloids with rumours that Danny Haynes is a target of Everton, West Ham United and Wigan Athletic, as well as claims that the Blues are eyeing Burnley's Andy Gray and Cardiff City's Paul Parry, while Dundee United keeper Grzegorz Szamotulski is again linked. |
Norris Left out of Argyle Side Sat 05th Jan 2008 20:12 Town target David Norris was left out of the Plymouth line-up for their 3-2 FA Cup victory over Hull City this afternoon, prompting speculation that he may have been rested ahead of a move. Jon Walters's omission from the Town side has led to similar conjecture. |
Jim Slams Trotter Red Card Sat 05th Jan 2008 19:07 Town boss Jim Magilton was unsurprisingly thoroughly unimpressed with referee Mark Halsey's laughable decision to red card Liam Trotter during the first half of the Blues' 1-0 defeat to Portsmouth. |
Town 0-1 Portsmouth Sat 05th Jan 2008 18:48 Ten-man Town unluckily crashed out of the FA Cup after losing 1-0 at home to Portsmouth, despite dominating much of the game.
