[Scarface]

Has been spotted at the stadium.

Hope this isn't a post made in vein

Has been spotted at the stadium.

Who told you this - your spotty bottom?

[Maguire]

It's been on Radio Berkshire this morning FACT

[Maguire]

33 years old today (?), 62 caps for ROI, last one in 2007.

Was what Radio Berks said. That's all, no mention of the deal itself.

64 caps

In what capacity did they refer to him?? I know local radio is depressingly dull, particularly on the BBC but to do a clip on "who's birthday is it today"

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

Add some pace to the back line.

I guess if you can't get anything else experience is a good asset to have.

[TBM]

Need someone to take the free kicks now Sig has gone

[Barry the bird boggler]

Well he's a good left back, he can play centre back if required and I believe he's not unaccustomed to a role as a striker as well! Perhaps he could also have a role on the coaching staff at some point as well. In addition doesn't he have a smart record as a penalty taker?

They said "Reading are reported to be on the verge of signing Carlisle United full-back Ian Harte. He scored blah blah goals last season, it's his bday today, and he's got blah blah caps for ROI"

I'm typing from memory here hence the innaccurate numbers. What I meant was that they didn't give any specific details of the deal, just that he's coming.

I would literally be ecstatic if we signed Ian Harte

Unbelievable left foot tekkers

yes and a driving licence as well...could be a useful addition to the squad

[No Hoops]

Didn't he fail miserably at Sunderland?

Not that it means much after the Gylfi saga but lets kill this rumour here and now....

Only last week on BBC site...

Carlisle United defender Ian Harte and striker Gary Madine have signed extended deals with the club.

Harte, 33, was last season's top scorer with 21 goals and has signed until the summer of 2012.

The first sentence pretty much sums this up.

Doesn't mean owt.

[TBM]

They only get them to sign extensions so it bumps their price up should anyone be interested.

That doesn't kill the rumour in any way, shape, or form.
