  1. I wonder if its Billy Thomsons nephew Malky that has joined him.
  2. Yup so negative. 4-5-1 sets up not to lose. That's ok for Everton and with 1 or 2 players they will finish above the rest of the league outside the big boys. He qualifies for a future Rangers manager with those tactics.
  3. Out of another cup at home. Swansea and Sunderland put them out of 2 cups in space of 3 weeks. Shocking stat for Man U. How many pens needed to be missed!
  4. I was right though! There isn't a play off between the 2nd placed Championship team and 2nd bottom in top flight
  5. Says who? This is Doncaster and Co we are talking about. They were talking about changing it last season and tried to get away with it.
  6. In this league we could easily go 3-5-2 but in that system you have to have everyone playing in natural positions however it would mean leaving our best player Wallace out. But a natural 3-5-2 out of interest would be: :sf::ec: :ib::lm: :al: :jd: We'd have the options of Fraser Aird (who I haven't seen enough of) to come in for Andy Little. Hutton when fit could be a ready made replacement for any of the central midfielders there. McCulloch a back up centre half or striker. Shiels could go into Law's role if needed. As said the only downside is Wallace, unless he can also play as a centre half, but he could probably play as a left winger. It wouldn't necessarily be my first choice XI but in this league I don't think we need to be playing 4-5-1.
  7. Nothing like the old 1-11 so you know where every one plays rather than this Gridiron like squad numbers.
  8. Currently there is no play off between the team that finishes 2nd in the championship and 2nd bottom in the premier.....but I can see that changing or an expansion to 14 teams.
  9. Both XIs look very decent and baffles me as to why we play so bad (well it doesn't, its a combination of management, coaching and opposition). But how they would do in the top flight is tricky to judge.
  10. Hearts still have 2 seasons in the Championship though. But I can honestly see a restructure meaning 2 teams will go up next season.
  11. If we were in England it would be scary to think how much of a bigger mess we could end up with given Green, Whyte and Co could end up with 100 times what they got out of us last year. Yes the potential is there and we would have had a stronger squad but time wise we would have been league 2 at best. But if the original OP meant how would this team fair in England right now with the squad we have then my answer would be: With Ally we'd be bottom 6 in the Championship and Mid League 1. With a much better manager and coaching staff possibly mid Championship.
  12. Thread already going in footie chat, and Blackpool have confirmed Ferguson will take charge in the next game. Admin can merge the threads if they like, its semi rangers chat.
  13. Nobody would bat an eye lip if that was the reason. But if (an its only an if) the reason was due to a personality clash then its wrong.
  14. Selling someone for 7.5million when you already have a ready made replacement worth 4 times that (Scholes) is different from sending someone out on loan when you don't.
  15. You will have to watch it again now! 33 secs 45 secs 1.17 2.41 2.53 3.05 3.13 3.38 The rest are not bad though
  16. Some may say Alex Ferguson got rid of players, but he did so with Roy Keane at the end of Keane's career. There is no way he'd had got rid of Keane at his peak in the late 90s. And since retiring he has said his biggest mistake was letting Jaap Stam go.
  17. Dundee has a Hilton? Where did they steal that from!! Jeez its so long since Ive been in Dundee. I was thinking that maybe they didn't need to stay anywhere but in that case they would need to travel early in case of traffic and then they would be stuck in Forfar for hours before kick off doing nothing so they would need a place to prepare.
  18. Where else are they going to stay? Split them in half into Dundee's 2 Travelodges?
  19. Glad you put the word 'some' because some of them are shocking! Just needed a Susan Boyle at the end with a Celtic strip on.
  20. I agree, there is to much of a "you or us" mentality IMO. In every company in the world people wont get on with people including staff getting on with bosses, but if you have a good employee you don't get rid of them based on not getting on with them.
  21. Will we see him on Match of the day with an interpreter standing next to him? To translate the likes of "Wat a fud"
  22. That's why you set up with a 3-5-2 then have your defensive midfielder or 2 to get back and defend.
  23. Agree but 3-5-2 works if you play players in natural positions. 3 natural centre halves, 5 natural midfielders (this includes holding players, creative players and proper wingers) and 2 strikers. Liverpool have done it this season and done well. And I hate to admit the best Celtic side ive ever seen was under O'Neill played this.
  24. He would be the worst of the second keepers, bit of a screw up aswell in the 1994 cup final against Dundee Utd. Billy Thompson was a cracking keeper in his day but Utd got the best out of him, he was more a coach when he came to us hence not mentioning him.
  25. And Ginzburg. But 2 out of 15 isn't bad going!
