  1. To be fair he didn't offer massive promise for us and has only come good for Leeds in the last 12 months. Id say the price tag is on the high side.
  2. 1 or 2 will likely go out on loan. I think Ally needed to get a right back in as Foster is the only natural RB and isn't rated by a lot of fans. It will probably be trimmed to 23 with Gallacher (GK), McAusland, Gasparatto going out on loan and maybe the sale of a couple. I used to like Kyle Hutton as a player but of all the signings and re-signings this summer he is probably top of the list that wasn't needed.
  3. I don't think its a bad signing and its certainly not Simonsen's fault. Having goalkeeper experience around is quite important. If it was John Burridge then I could see the argument against. And its nice to have a few footballing threads on the go....
  4. I hope our manager see's it as simple as you do. There is potential in our squad as you have listed and I still think Peralta will be a good player if played properly and then you have players like Shiels who if is fit can still bring something different to our team but I expect to see McCulloch at the back and Miller put on the right in a 4-5-1. I think we are due something from Templeton, he has got a lot in his locker but seems his mind is elsewhere. Hoping he knuckles down and he could easily be POTY if he wants. Boyd could have a field day (season) if Templeton does well.
  5. I think this is a good signing, we are finally getting real defenders in the squad and surely McCulloch cant be first pick. As Gunslinger said Cuellar would have been the ideal signing as he is free but wages would be a problem but Zaliukas is still a good purchase.
  6. Where is Der Berliner, he usually puts up a good update of the squad with everyone in their positions.....that will give us a good view as to where we need to strengthen. But Id guess we have enough for the season. Its still not a good long term squad but its strong enough to win this league. And Under a good tactician this squad should comfortably be in the top 2 in the country. Bell, Simonsen, Gallacher Foster, Faure, McAusland, Mohsni, McGregor, Zaliukas, Gasparatto, McCulloch Wallace, Smith Aird, McKay Macleod, Law, Peralta, Black, Hutton, Shiels Templeton, Crawford Miller, Boyd, Daly, Clark, Gallacher
  7. Sorry, didn't see a thread was already started, was travelling over night. Pity it isn't at Hampden.
  8. Not sure Cal. Perhaps they are but in that case it wouldn't need rescheduled?
  9. Another good pay day for Queens Park as that will mean a big away support at Hampden although it has to be rescheduled. Glamorous ties in the cup - Hibs at home in the Petrofac Cup and a trip to Hampden in the League Cup. But lets see if Ally can improve his cup record first.
  10. Agreed, I was having a wee bounce every Argentina pen that went in and a bigger bounce when the keeper saved two. From day 1 I had an excel predictor and had an Argentina v Germany final. Silly not to bet it in the bookies. Im sticking with Argentina to win it although would say Germany have to be favourites.
  11. Jose Mourinho must be rolling on the floor. Tonights game is tough. Almost 2 one man teams Messi v Robben. Both top world class players.
  12. I got Hearts right in the league so Im on level par with you at the moment.
  13. They did that to England and Argentina in South Africa with 4-1 and 4-0 wins then Italy found them out, Argentina and Holland are capable of doing the same but Germany have to be favourites. Ozil should have made it 8-0 before the Brazilian consolation. Germany v Holland would be some final but I still hope the Argee's win it.
  14. Brazil come up against their first real opponent and get shown up. Mexico and Chile were both better than them. Ze Germans were my original pick but I opted for Argentina due to it being in South America. The final will be a lot closer but the belief installed in Germany now will be incredible.
  15. Theres a surprise!!! Rangers, Hibs, Hearts all on the box twice in the first week of the season.
  16. Roger that, thanks mate. Strange about the 13 games I missed, Im sure I put a scores in a few of them.
  17. When you put your predications in and click save is there not supposed to be a tick that comes up or the box turn yellow? When I put in a score for the Brazil v Germany game nothing happened but when I changed the score to something else a tick came up and boxes went yellow? This seemed to happen earlier which is why I have only played 47 games rather than 60.
  18. Holland were very much in command with hitting the bar and post and a few sitters, but Costa Rica should have had a penalty late on. And Im sure I wasn't the only one jumping off the sofa hoping they would snatch it in extra time with that solo. That's some call by Van Gaal to make a keeper switch, bit of a kick in the nuts for his No.1 but I like to see managers have the balls to make changes at anytime in a game, he will be entertaining for Man Utd next season if nothing else. Thought Krul was an ass putting the Costa Rican players off, its all part of the game but I don't like to see it. Well done to Costa Rica for a good world cup, to win Group D alone was their achievement. Whatever the final now should be great but 2 rivals going at it would be the better match - Holland v Germany or Brazil v Argentina.
  19. Hearts in the league in the first game, Hibs v Hearts week 2, Rangers v Hibs first round of this cup.....the requirement for TV income must be incredible.
  20. Disappointing game, Argentina didn't look threatened and are crawling through games and doing enough, they could still peak yet. If Holland get through and play at pace they could get at Argentina. Belgium were poor and I expected a lot more, they went out on a bit of a whimper, they should have given it a real go in the 2nd half rather then just the last 5 mins. The semi finals will be really tasty if Holland get past Costa Rica. My predictor had an Argentina v Germany final and its on course.
  21. That was Colombia's first real test and they were caught out by a huge occasion. They had a reasonably easy group and then came up against Uruguay who was on the back of the Suarez mess. I thought they would get past Brazil but the Brazilian tempo was too much. With Neymar out of the tournament its advantage Germany in that semi. Look forward to the Argentina v Belgium game later. Its time for Messi and Co to step up.
  22. Yes and that was Guivarch's debut IIRC and he scored a few that day.
  23. I can see them getting past Brazil.
  24. I reckon you are still sauced mate. Belgium battered them for a while. USA could have nicked it in the 90th min though
  25. The old hot and cold balls might be in there to fix a Rangers v Hibs / Hearts draw early on for the TV's. Queen's Park home or away
