You do realise I am going to have to put these on now , dont you . Could you not just have left a smart arse comment , you swine

What we witnessed was Walter playing the long game and not deflecting from the fact that a 9 man team won a cup final , if he had went down the celtic route and slaughtered the ref the headlines would all have been about the ref and not the team , another brilliant display by Sir Walter

Can I get wednesdays lottery numbers please maineflyer :)

I thought he was very impressive preseason and also before he got injured , however he suffers from the same problem as a lot of our squad in that he is flexible and is moved all over the place instead of getting a settled position that he can play into.

I had the pleasure of comps for the press box yesterday and intregingly all the journalists had very very different takes on the sending off's especially Wilson's , amazingly most didn't even have the first clue about the actual rule on this type of sending off . However the funniest thing I saw was spiersy who had been busy tapping into his laptop all game instead of watching , having to ask all around him who had been sent of ( thomson's ) as he had missed it .Hilarious stuff which you couldn't make up

so really after 6 pages we are no further ahead in , if Ellis is genuine he has just wasted a whole heap of money for nothing , or is as wabash alludes just another of Murray's smoke and mirrors . Thank god there's a football match on today

If this so called story is true then we probably have dodged a bullet with Ellis , if he is a property developer then he would have known a quick visit to the land registery followed up by a call to Glasgow planning would have given him all the answers he would needed regarding land owned and uses of this land . There would have been no need to conduct and due dilligence nor any need to go public , I dont know what game is being played out here , but we are being made to look like mugs , yet again . :(

But pete we have been doing this in cup competitions all season , the team deserves some slack , yes it was dissappointing not seeing the game out , but to be honest we were never really comfortable all day and the 3-1 scoreline was somewhat flattering . we need to get a sense of perspective in all this and I hope the fans desire and sheer desperation , for that's what it is , does not work it's way onto the pitch . At the start of the season if we were out of both cups but just ahead in the league the vast majority would have bitten your hand off , yet here we are in one final rompin the league and still in the scottish yet all I read today is doom and gloom because we drew a game , unbelievable really but hey that's the crazy world of scottish football . :spl::spl: ( oops a bit premature with the avatar)

very very strange posts on here today guys , you cannot legislate for two freaky goals , in that the first Whittaker tries a nightmare pass and Wilson slips , and the second could have went any where , everyone just breath and relax , breath and relax

getting this league tied up will take care of season ticket sales , as for the rest who knows only time will tell , however when the great manipulator of smoke and mirrors finally goes that's when I crack open the champagne , and I for one cannot wait

All new requests for joining are being denied at present , and for very good reason too.

I dont know where hately found the baw's to put his name to this , very unlike big ermmmmmmm

You say you wonder how wattie would manage with no money to waste , well apart from Lafferty I dont see much waste , back to Big Eck where do you start Maniero , Buffel , Capucho , Mladenovic , jeffers christ the list is endless regardless of fee's paid and wages drawn Big Eck wasted and was given plenty . Also please look back at the players Eck had at his disposal , compared to just now he had a much better squad to start with .

The only critiscism I have about our last spending spree was it came after Murray started to get personnal abuse and as usual he deflected it very well in his usual way , spending our money like a drunk in a bar . As for Big Eck , sorry but he was not to be trusted with money and you only need look at his team at the moment , they are being held together by Bosmans , his big money signings are not really doing the business IMHO .

Would we be able to move forward with just Europa league revenue , it is due to increase everyn that is the C/L , last ight they were saying hat Fulham could end up playing 19 games , if they made the final . Now surely we are good enough to get out the groups , 3 home games , and possibly 2 more group games , so the revenue from 5 home europa league games must fill i some of the gap . What we must avoid is the squad being top heavy again , very tricky I know .

To be fair he hasn't done badly over the last 18 months , surely you can give him some credit

The bottom ;ine is that as Maineflyer states and I have alluded to , no one could run us any worse than the present incumbent . That unfortunately is a fact

So in your opinion Bluedell what is really required , more income against decrased squad size , as there doesn't seem to be much more we can cut . Sorry to put you on the spot but I just want to get a grasp on where we would need to be to stop this continual boom or burst . I realise the more income is an easy thing to say but I just dont see where we can cut �£8.5 million more from within the club.

Have we not been saying for years that Murray has under developed our potential and been very blinkered in his approach towards marketing , in fact he always took the easy option IMHO . Now I dont want to jump the gun but who's to say this guy or for that matter any new owner cannot better maximise our potential . Or is this just wishful thinking

That question could quite easily be aimed at every consortium that express an interest could it not ????

When you get to this stage of the season and a team has a head of steam going , it is very unusual to start dropping points , maybe the case could be had , after the league is won and players relax , but I really feel the way this squad is performing we have no worries . In fact the manky mob have more to worry about than us , the presure is all on them

Paul Murray has let it be known he is not involved in any consortium , sorry if this is not good news

I know , its the only one that gives you definitive information that is 100% spot on , when you hear the usual suspects droning on about european coefficients it actually makes me cringe with embarressment . Also it is definite the season after next we only have one team however if we have a reall good next season we will be up there again .

If you look below from this years qualifiers , if we manage to win next years championship we will have a much easier task getting qualification , this was why Platini's plan was accepted as there are more smaller teams in the C/L than ever . However the real secret to keeping the 2 places is down to the Europa league teams , if you look at smaler countries their Europa league results always dig them out of a hole . I also agree with boss the reporting on this subject is truly pityful We will be in the 4th round for champions and also seeded !! 4th Qualifying Round for Champions (10 teams) Seeded teams coef.
