    Done for publicity and nothing more i'd imagine.

    Lots of money in shirt sales to young girls, plus possibly even more people going to games to try and see him.

    Who?

    Willy McKay up to his old tricks there?

    I don't get it

    Apparently he's signing so he can play in a few reserve and charity games to boost the coffers and publicity.

    Embarrassing
  • LincsaddickLincsaddick
    not so surprising .. the boy was born in Doncaster and is probably a fan of the club .. Rovers is an ambitious club and within reason there is no such thing as bad publicity

    what has football become?

    Didn't they have another unusual plan the last time they were in this league?

    In the grand scheme of shameless advertising it's not that bad, just a bit if fun. Didn't Robbie Williams play for Port Vale?

    Another one we missed out on. With Jiminez at the helm we'll be lucky to get fatty Gary Barlow in.

    I think he's in One Direction.

    This is on a par with Fulchester Rovers signing Shaking Stevens.

    It's as a non-playing squad memeber. He'll play in one game to raise money for Bluebell Wood. Credit to him.

    Please say it's against us!
    I think any player would love to man mark him!

    He won't play in a Championship game. The FA put a stop to Macclesfield's plan to offer a fan the chance to pay £20k to play in the last 10 minutes of a Conference or Cup game stating: "it creates a possibility of altering the outcome of a competitive fixture and as such, clearly crosses an important line with respect to the integrity of the game."

    Surely this is the same thing?
  • fattmattfattmatt
    Yes. Perhaps the FA won't allow it. But it appears to be what Doncaster are planning. I had a quick look at their official site. He's squad no. 28.

    It's not - they said he might feature in a reserve/charity match.

    Some funny tweets #FootballTipsForDirectioners

    #FootballTipsForDirectioners walk into the Boleyn pub with a millwall shirt on.

    #FootballTipsForDirectioners I've heard Galatasaray is a nice day out to watch football

    #footballtipsfordirectioners Stoke play the best football in the league, beautiful

    #FootballTipsForDirectioners when the first whistle blows, that's when you go home
  • JollyRobinJollyRobin
    It's the responses from One Direction fans that I am enjoying

    #FootballTipsForDirectioners EVERYONE HERE HATES US RANDOM PEOPLE ARE TELLING US TO DO THINGS TO GET US SHOT OMFG

    #FootballTipsForDirectioners Wow, you're all so original -_- Correction, you're idiots. We're supporting our idol, get over it

    #footballtipsfordirectioners They keep calling us children but they're middle aged men shouldn't they be out working and not on Twitter (actually this one may have a point)

    Donny has signed Ross Turnbull on loan .. a top class keeper

    We missed a trick when Oasis were at the pomp.

    Would have thought the Belles would be more apt.

    We could get Jim Davidson on the pitch up front V Oxford next tuesday. Save Yanns Legs for Middlesborough.

    On loan from where? Wasn't he released by Chelsea?

    Also, I really hope One Direction fans aren't being directed into The Boleyn wearing Millwall shirts; that's my local.

    Could be worse for Donny, they could've signed Tight Arse Bramble
