Gribz

Yeah didn't see him fitting into the English game. The Americans are still behind Europe with Soccer. Can you imagine say a David Moyes type from a UK based Gridiron side going to manage the Chicago Bears. The only thing you would say is he didn't get a transfer window to get his own players in. Swansea were so well ran for a few years but since letting Michael Laudrup go they are beginning to chop and change. Monk did well and should have been kept on, look what he is doing with Leeds.

On Talksport last night, if Alex Neill goes then Warburton would be willing to go to Norwich. Part 5 last 5-10 minutes during the Championship update. http://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1482789600#

A debate that goes about and basically comes down to personal opinion. But what should define a world class footballer? Should there be a structure of a level of player. Mesut Ozil is the classic example at the moment who is branded as world class but I would say nowhere near it. Ive heard him being compared to Bergkamp a few times which is funny, Bergkamp was a simple world class act. Ozil is never in games yet can put on the odd good show with a touch here and a goal there against lesser opposition. He is a shadow of the player who destroyed England 4-1 in South Africa.

Good wins for Burnley, Everton and West ham that I didn't see. Arsenal left it late. I think the last two results will come up and will have a double on them at the bookies.

For me that wouldn't give us enough in the final third, I think Dodoo would be better placed than Garner in that shape as you need your final 4 players to be mobile, fast and have that edge aka when we played Barca at Ibrox and Cousin was upfront on his own and was a complete handful. We have St Johnstone to take care of first but 3 points against them is as important as any as we look to cement 2nd place first. Therefore play Hodson and LB and Tav at RB in this game to get them back use to their surroundings in those positions. The system is creating 4 wins in a row so the personnel should come in rather than make formation changes. MW has good dilemma with who to play at CB now. For Perth on Wednesday Id go: Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Hodson Halliday Waghorn Holt Forrester McKay Miller

Rubgy Union has far more respect on the pitch than footballers who just mouth off so I don't see this working. But in theory a good idea.

This was always a worry with only having 3 full backs with all 3 playing in the same team. If Wallace misses the games this week then it will likely mean Hodson to LB and Tav back at RB. Couldn't see MW going 3 at the back. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/38428288

It was difficult viewing for two reasons the performance and the thunder storm freezing my tv. But winning when playing poorly is only a good thing. I was a bit worried before the Hamilton game that the Hearts and Aberdeen wins were based on revenge so all we can expect now is the players to prove us wrong. Could actually be a blessing for them to improve in the game that matters next week. However St Johnstone away on Wednesday is a bigger test than what is seems on paper - perhaps numerous changes required for that game. But 10 points clear of Hearts when last month we fell behind them is good form.

A mad amount of games coming up. I don't think Allardyce will get enough time with the Players before making an impact. Also going for a shock at the Emirates, WBA are a good side and could frustrate Arsenals flow of play. One round of games at a time for the predictions, doing not bad lately with these on the coupons. Watford 1-1 Palace Arsenal 0-1 West Brom Burnley 2-2 Middlesboro Chelsea 3-0 Bournemouth Leicester 1-1 Everton Man Utd 4-0 Sunderland Swansea 0-0 West Ham Hull 0-3 Man City Liverpool 3-1 Stoke Southampton 1-1 Tottenham

To have a chance to go 10 clear of Hearts is a boost today. Aberdeen gaps isn't comfortable yet, the gap only 4 points but they will drop in certain matches versus other sides.

Stubbs did come across quite well. But I don't think it will be 'minimum 4 to 5 years'. I think 2 to 3. If we can manage to get into Europa League to start with and get off field issues sorted with Ashley then it raises our income - that would be step one. In the league we need to start dominating the other 10 sides which is exactly what Celtic have done hence their lead so once we widen the gap between the others then Celtic cant do much about it bar in the 4 OF games and they will become deciding factors. Everyone has to remember we were a new squad returning to the top flight just a few months ago, we look like we are beginning to find our feet and if we win today then we are 10 ahead of Hearts which is good going.

I wouldn't want to change a winning formula, sorting the midfield out has been our problem during the slip up matches.

Very level headed young man. A new contract would be a good thing. For me would be first pick upfront, Im a big Miller fan but obviously is coming to the end of his career.

Considering Allardyce is available I think that made up the clubs mind. Palace / Pardew are consistently inconstant. They would go 7 losses in a row then 5 wins.

He is being judged on 2 games Norris. Fair play to him for trying though. How about my point on Waghorn (and Dodoo for that matter), both got a brace when they played. I think we could have another Boyd saga on the cards

I don't get the obsession with Garner all of a sudden. Sebo used to try his ass off but got slated. Waghorn has played so much less and scored double the amount. Sorry if that riles anyone folks. Dodoo scored two quality goals against Partick and hasn't been given a chance since. A win v Inverness would be nice to leave us in a good position in the table going into the NY.

Haha That did make me laugh.....

If we are getting technical Shen dan jie khuai le Selamat hari natal (sounds like a good player)

Watch the ball boy have a wee bounce when the second goal goes in :rfcbouncy: Ferguson having a bounce to the Celtic fans Anton Rogan - possibly our best ever full back.

Barton should be embarrassed. He yapped away and didn't walk the talk. Does anyone thing he will play well in the Premier League?

Cheers Craig....have a good one. Im not a Christmas or new year fan. Could start a new thread about it. but glad the OF derby is back on new year...

I have a club tie given to me when I was about 8 years old...I will try dig it out and happy to give it to someone on here.

Too much time on your hands haha. Sunday service still exists then. When I used to go to Ibrox from Aberdeen d be on the 7am train on a Saturday.

Reading this thread made me think about an English XI who played for Rangers. Was tempted to go Goram in goal and McCall in midfield but both represented Scotland. Im sure I will have missed a few out. Woods Stevens Butcher Roberts Spackman Francis Steven Gascoigne Walters Hateley Gordon Subs: Falco, Wallace, Vinnicombe, Jeffers, Drinkell, Sterland

Its just going to get uglier with Aberdeen. Its scary the hatred. As for the kick off time v Killie, their fans dont take the train anyway and trains run from 6am.
