  1. Yes agreed, really want to avoid the sheep for a few reasons. Even the thought of them going to Ibrox for a semi against anyone is a wrench. But thinking about it, we've probably more chance beating them at Ibrox in a semi than at Parkhead in a final. I Genuinely feel we can win this cup this season.

    I haven't mentioned a change for this summer, I am maybe thinking 2-3 years down the line. The change of manager this summer would be a different debate.

    Don't get me wrong id like to see us getting someone like Martin Jol in but we are light years away from those days again at the moment. That's why I said realistic potential managers. I think he's done a good job. The Sheep have struggled since Calderwood. If they were a consistent 3rd when we were there then yes I'd agree but they were always 7th or 8th.
  4. Serving his apprenticeship nicely at the moment and as it stands Im hoping he is our next manager. When Ally eventually moves on Id take him well ahead of the realistic candidates like Billy Davies. Got to give McInnes credit, 1 cup final, 1 semi final and 2nd in the league with a team who have been struggling for years. I liked him as a player in the 90s also, thought he was a fine midfielder.
  5. St Johnstone and Aberdeen through so if we beat Albion it will be SPL opposition....at Ibrox.
  6. 6 league games plus 2 cup matches so 8 in total. They were in the relegation spots 6 game ago now pushing for play offs. They have beaten Villa, Fulham and Forest in the cup but I think they will run out of steam I this round.
  7. Would be superb to get the winners of this game in the semi's (of course once we beat Albion)
  8. I was trying to work out the fact him and his consortium put up 5.5m for the assets and the pay offs didn't come near to that amount. That's what I was confused about. Maybe Im well off as I haven't been following the finance side of it much at all but I can understand his frustration if he didn't get back what he put in.
  9. I didn't think it would be long before CG popped up. Like SimplyTheBest I was Pro-Green for a while for the ay he was pitching for the club but it all went pear shaped with some of his comments. The bonuses and salaries since revealed have shown him to only be in it for a profit.
  10. Arsenal v Everton Hull v Sunderland Sheff Utd v Charlton Man City v Wigan Wont be the most glamorous of semi final line ups and they should put them back to Villa park. But Arsenal, Hull, Charlton (via a replay) and Man City in the semi's. I think the winners of the Arsenal v Everton tie will win the cup.
  11. Raith v St Johnstone Inverness v Dundee Utd Aberdeen v Dumbarton Not to bothered about who goes through from the first game. Would prefer Inverness although should be beat Albion then revenge for either of these teams is on the cards from last seasons cup exits. Would be great to see Dumbarton pull a shock off. And having seeing there league position they may well do it. Aberdeen are focused on the league cup final at the moment.
  12. The atmosphere for a Scotland game will be different to a Rangers or Celtic match at Ibrox or Parkhead, so Id say its an irrelevant argument. Ive never been to Parkhead so cant say if its got a good atmosphere or not, it probably does on CL nights but it would have to be amazing to match Ibrox when its rocking. Give the national team a national feel and take the game to Edinburgh, Murrayfield. Blows all arguments away then and has a 67000 crowd.
  13. Closet I came to a win in ages last weekend. Reading screwed me on a 7 fold accumulator. They drew 1-1 at home to bottom side Yeovil who were down to 8 men. Unbelievable. A wee line on the internationals tonight.
  14. Most friendlies are pointless but this is one which gives Strachan a clue to the Euro qualifiers. Its just bad timing for friendlies in March with the amount of games coming up for clubs at the business end of the season. As Poland aren't in the WC we should be playing them in the summer.
  15. Can see it now, a player will pick up a training injury and it will be blamed on the condition of the turf.
  16. 100 days to the start and they aren't near ready. How are they supposed to finish stadia in that time? Hope I am wrong but I can see a bit of cutting corners happening.
  17. I feel Little has been a bit unlucky this season. I did watch a lot of our games last season and thought he was one of the top 3 standouts. This season I haven't seen much action at all but Little hasn't featured as much. A capable player for our squad in the next 2 seasons, I hope we can work a deal out.
  18. He's one of the best keepers as well. About 2 seasons ago he had save of the season from an Everton shot, came clean of his hands and a pen wasn't given.
  19. Yeah but its the SPFL and Doncaster we're talking about, they fear losing big clubs on a yearly basis in the top flight.
  20. An extremely daft comment and an insult to Best, Charlton, Law, Robson, Giggs, Cantona, Schmeichel, Keane, Scholes, Ronaldo and Rooney along a few others.
  21. I thought there was a statement last month saying points wont be deducted in future for teams entering admin?? Of course we are different to the others.
  22. There has been a few like Gayle, Kyle, Maniero and Jeffers but Lafferty had a bit of talent and was a costly signing. It was his off the field stuff that let hi down the most. He got backed by the club and had numerous chances, then to walk away leaves it bitter. I don't buy that agents are all to blame, surely families and friends can help with advice and players do have a mind of their own.
  23. I think King is being clever. If he is coming in then he does so on his own terms and has full control. I like the fact he isn't a gofer and is his own person. But I do wonder why he hasn't grabbed his chance by now. I just have the bad feeling this will roll and roll until we are near the top flight again and there is a bit of value coming back to the club. I also don't think we've herd the last from Green for some reason.
  24. He will be in big trouble, a likely 10 match ban. Newcastle already hit him with a 100k fine. It wasn't much of a headbutt at all but its the conduct which is worrying considering he has already punish a linesman and had a go at Pelligrini this season. The guy is a Mr nice man infront of the cameras but obviously is too hot headed. What was Newcastle thinking giving him an 8 year deal. Had he been on a shorter contract he'd have been sacked for this. I can still see him leaving over this.
