My mistake then. But I do know that a country's co-efficient is crucial Ukraine are breathing down our necks. We really need England to beat them for Gers' sake!
-
But you're forgetting that a poor CL show from the Tims affects us too inasmuch as Scotland could lose its automatic CL place. Do you want us to negotiate 2 difficult qualifying games even if we win the SPL just because you don't want the tims to prosper - short-sighted if I may say so.

Reynolds has a bit of pace. I think he and Captain Kirk could fight it out for the other CB slot - oh, and he's left-sided which complements Bougherra well.

Where�s The Mason�s In The Black?

Spot on with that, ecosse. Though I think 3-1 is a tad optimistic. I'd settle for 1-0 in the last minute, so they will know how it feels. Think it's 14 times they've won games in the last 5 now? -
No, but they certainly care about money. And there will be precious little of that if we fail to get into the CL regularly. See my post on the football thread.....
-
You won't like this, but you should be PRAYIN C****c do well. Why? Because if they flop it puts Scotland's automatic place in the CL at risk. If we have to face 2 qualifiers again, with no money to bring the team up to CL standard, then I for one am not confident we could make the group stages. Remember also, a country's ranking dhelps determine CL rankings, so Ukraine could threaten Scotlands score if they do well in the World Cup v England.

Some of Walter's recent team selections are similarly cryptic!
-
That's a slap in the face for those who say moving to the SPL could harm your international chances. All the more credit to Pedro who knew he wouldn't be playing Champions League football yet still came.
-
Though they ultimately lost, they put the gers efforts to shame.

Latin scholars on gersnet now! Nil ilegitimum carborundum, mate:D
-
Hope you're right with regard to the 'media landscape' changing thanks to our intervention. By the same token, do you think the RFC management team read this forum? Would be nice to think so, but going by recent team selections, perhaps not!
-
I also remember a rumour about him and Pat Crerand's sister which didn't go down too well with the establishment at Ibrox.
-
Just on a couple of occasions as I recall. But my point was that there is almost a 'tradition' of giving stick to players who are not 'marquee' signings but have been youth players. Hope that's not why Fleck and Furman have been held in check.
-
Naughty! Don't joke like that. Actually, can anyone remember Pat Jennings scoring from his own area, or is my memory starting to go?
-
Glad to see someone sticking up for Broadfoot. The stick he's taken - especially on the 606 forum - is shameful. People forget he's out of position at RB and has done a decent job IMO at CB. something about the RB spot and gers fans - think Mo Ross,Hutton, Bob Malcolm - some don't seem to like it if we play a youth from our ranks. Hutton had to show great strength of character to survive and I think Broadfoot will prosper once he remembers he's not Beckenbaur.

The "wee rebel turncoat" may find himself running into a big black wall in the shape of Edu!
-
Surely the one player who can make 4-5-1 work (because he did it in europe last season) is JCD. BUT - he can only give us 70 mins at best, so the question is, who comes on? IMO the only way Miller can be accomodated is if he is played up with Boyd and WS won't play with those two at CP I'm sure. Think Lafferty may still be unfit but I'd like to see him given a chance in the lone striker role.
-
Thanks. I checked it out. It's truly shocking. I've always believed that decisions even themselves out over a season, but I'm starting to wonder. If C****c get another controversial one on Saturday it could cause a riot. We need to start looking at some sort of legal redress. Any solicitors on Gersnet?
-
You're excelling yourself at the moment. Wish I was as IT proficient as you.
-
I'll defend you mate, thought it was a hoot. I don't want to be paranoid about C****c decisions, but just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!
-
A great article if I may say so. Only thing I would add is I don't see why so many bears are upset about Davis on the right. Yesterday he was not a touchline-hugger, he was coming inside and linking quite effectively I thought. With Novo there he has cover down the right. I'd go for 70 minutes of JCD up front though. For the last 20? Now there's real dilemma...
-
No - was just making the point that other teams are not frightened to play youngsters - nothing to do with Everton per se.
-
My heart sank when I saw yesterday's team. The good news - McCulloch and Adam out; the bad news Miller in - on the left wing! To be fair he did his share of chasing back, but when we have so many left-footers - Aaron, Beasley,Fleck,even Adam, then this just smacks of perverseness. "Don't worry, son, I'll get you in the team somehow." In England yesterday, Everton played 2 17-year olds, young Ramsey has seen the first team at Arsenal, and there are other examples, but WS seems over-protective of our precocious talents. Fleck and Aaron on the bench when they could both have given us genuine attacking width that migh just have sealed the points, that appalling decision notwithstanding.

Nicely-written piece Frankie. I've actually always liked listening to Forsyth on Radio 2 but this has made me think again. It was a cheap point he was trying to make. I can't imagine any Rangers members of the TA booing God Save the Queen - it was surely another instance of the Tims' identity crisis.
-
Beasley and Edu played in a World Cup tie last night for USA - although only in 2nd half. If he's fit enough for that...
