    If that was Rooney they'd create a national holiday.

    And Arsenal beat you??? Na have to say, my money is on Chelsea to win the premier league this season by a mile. Liverpool wont even come near the top 2.

    That's like Arsenal signing Henry......

    Just a sad mentality.

    An absurd formation is it???. Van Gaal is using it and looking like sticking with it. A 7-0 win is a great start. MLS is improving and we struggle against 4th tier teams while Man U batter one of the better ones shows it wasn't exactly a fluke result. Its only one game and I don't want to see Utd win the league but having the players in the squad they have a 3-5-2 was easily their best option. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/15115/9392807/manchester-united-boss-louis-van-gaal-has-found-early-success-with-3-5-2-and-might-be-tempted-to-stick-with-it

    Its horrible to say mid table at best going by McCoists performances against Dundee Utd, Inverness and Falkirk in the last 24 months. Im not even confident we will steam roll the league this season never mind the top flight. However I would say a few better coaches and a manager we could finish top 2 in the top flight and would ease the Championship. Ally just makes things difficult for himself.

    Im the same as BH, I use laptops at home and work and I take them travelling. however last weekend I made a short trip to Cambodia and only took my phone. Previously Ive had Blackberry for 5 years and couldn't get onto the forum but with the Sony Z1 compact I logged into the forum and was offered tapatalk which I didn't opt for. But I still found using the Z1 good for brief reading so I wont need tapatalk.

    He is still the stand out player in the wide areas so if he plays there we know he will still do a good job, but if we can blend Templeton and another in with him and have Law and Black centrally then MacLeod could almost have a free role and rotate with Templeton. Its good options for the manager yet a flat 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 is what I expect.

    I agree Ally's XI will look more like the team you listed and nothing like my XI. Aird was the player I didn't really see in the 3 games due to injury. His line up against Derby will be interesting but Im convinced McCulloch will play, and he will waste Macleod on the wings although he still performs on either side.

    With the Pre-season trip over and Hibs coming up a week on Tuesday I hope Ally has a good idea of his best XI and knows he needs to drop certain players. Having watched 3 out 4 games Id say around 9 positions are certain (IMO). The 2 areas of concern is centre half partner for Zaliukas and right wing / midfield. In defence Mohsni and McGregor have both looked shaky more so the latter. Faure hasn't been tried there so he is likely to play RB. Various players played right side - Aird, Gallagher and MacLeod with the latter being the best although he should be in the middle. Upfront it looks like Ally will play Miller and Boyd but Id be reluctant. Kyle Hutton and Lee McCulloch seem favourites of Ally's but they cant be starters IMO. Templeton hasn't done much on this trip but I still have high hopes. My preferred XI would be along the lines of the following with Gallagher the only one possibly changing: ________________________Bell________________________ Faure________Zaliukas_________Mohsni_______Wallace ______________________Black_________________________ ___________MacLeod__________Law_________________ __Gallagher__________Miller___________Templeton

    What a player MacLeod looks. We will do well to keep him. A quality ex pro like Brian Laudrup should be flown in to coach him alone!
  13. Gribz
    Finishing 3rd with about 5 games in hand last season - Im in.

    Was that in 1989 when we won 1-0 with Mo Johnston goal? I did the same, waiting and waiting for the result to come in. Compare that to yesterday watching that highlanders game. Don't get me wrong I know we are on a climb back up the ladder and we have to have some realism about the situation but with our resources we should be hitting a few cricket scores against college teams and highlanders (Buckie and Brora) but we cant even string a pass together. Going by pre season so far the many travelling bears in Derby are going to get a good night out but in for a disappointing 90 minutes, they could give us a bit of a lesson. I watched a few of their games last season and McLaren has them playing very well and they would be favourites to win their league this season.
  15. Gribz
    I don't think the heat was an issue against Brora but we still struggled there.
  16. Gribz
    Certainly the better of the 2 I've seen.
  17. Gribz
    The worst thing about this is from the 2 games I watched (this morning and the 1st game v Fusion) I felt we played better this morning. The Fusion game was absolutely horrendous.
  18. Gribz
    I remember Jamie Ness hitting a blinder against Celtic and he is now being released by Stoke. He jumped ship too quick. Point being MacLeod needs developed this upcoming season and not ruined.
  19. Gribz
    Having Laudrup upfront with Mols would have been ideal and dream partnership and may have been the difference in our Euro campaign that season.
  20. Gribz
    Yep fully 100% agree. Its maybe worth a poll as we do have a wider range of ages on this forum now but Id be confident Laudrup would come out on top. Gascoigne on his day (and there was a lot of days) was amazing and the best british player in the last 25 years but for Laudrup to still come out on top of him shows how much he was rated.
  21. Gribz
    Amazing that's its 20 years. I still remember his first league game against Motherwell when he ran almost the length of the pitch to set up Duncan Ferguson for the winner, it was then I knew we had a player who would change the Scottish game. Too many highlights to list from him. I'll say we wont see a player as good as Laudrup at Rangers again, Laudrup was up there with the best.
  22. Gribz
    Would normally say you have a point there as humidity is one where you have to pace yourself, however it wasn't humid in Brora.
  23. Gribz
    Not a fan of this kit at all, quite possibly the worst we have had. I liked last seasons and will still be wearing that albeit the logo is just starting to disappear now after 40 washes or so.
  24. Gribz
    didn't look like it the other day against fusion. in fact they looked the complete opposite
  25. Gribz
    bought himself a bit of time? last season he showed how much he wants to play for us....
