  1. Good to read Ally is on the active at the moment and setting his sights with good names like Cuellar and Bartley. Even if he doesnt land someone like Cuellar it is good to see he is keen to get that level of player. Whittaker finished the season well but had a stinker for the majority. Ive always liked him better at LB, yet he was impressive at centre half and I wonder if thats his long term position. Not sure Id welcome Wilson back. He jumped ship and hasnt kicked a ball for Liverpool showing he saw the pound signs too early. His good performances was down to mentor Weir.
  2. The inflatable English premier league market probably hit a new level of madness today. Sunderlands Jordan Henderson to Liverpool for 20 million!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13685517.stm No wonder we cant compete. This guy is 20 and had a handful of good games for Sunderland along with showing a nasty streak with a few red cards yet goes for this amount. Is he any better than Steven Davis who wouldnt go for anything near that amount?
  3. Is there anywhere we can view from overseas??
  4. Wilson, Whittaker and even Bougherra have shone when playing at centre half...the main reason IMO is who they were playing next to. He has a lot to offer on the coaching side. So Id like to see a combined player / coach role. He steps in next season when we are short.
  5. Really struggling to see how this is an historic change. Will it put a better product on show with better organisation? Dont think so.
  6. Thats more than concerning. I had no idea about it. If you say it is limited to football and the internet, how exactly does that work? We can be charged for certain posts??
  7. Laffertys problem has been consistency, yet that hasnt been helped when he is asked to play wide left. He certainly did the business in the last few games of the season and Id be happy going into the new season with those 2 upfront. He is definitely a centre forward only and seems to be maturing at last.
  8. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13633903.stm Dunfermline who are newly promoted to the SPL are included in the first round draw but relegated Hamilton are not. Someone want to explain this latest piece of classic genius by the SFA? How desperate has the Scottish game become!! Move the cup final back to October to generate a bit more interest rather than having a 4 month break between rounds.
  9. This should be a landslide victory for Seriously, there is only one winner.
  10. Like the way they show Owen and Alumina first. I thought it was supposed to the best players availlable
  11. Agree with Stewarty, we need to strengthen all over the park bar in goal. If we hold onto Foster it would help. Perhaps Whittaker could be a centre half more often as he was arguably better there than at RB. In centre mid if Ness and Hutton come on another season then fitting them in with McCulloch and Davis is ok but we would still be short there. Edu is hit or miss but more so tha latter. Id like to see Weiss back, that would solve a lot but one other wide guy is needed. A mixture of quality and quantity is needed, we need to boost the squad by AT LEAST 3 so we can field subs next season!! But half of the signings should be in like Jelavic who can walk straight into the first team.
  12. 12m for the two, then it should be 11m for McGregor and 1m for Adam. Yes Adam had a good season but I did see a few games where he was at his old self and tripping over the ball on occasion. I feel he'll get found out if he moves to a bigger club. At Blackpool its like playground football, Holloway allows people to go and express themselves, at Villa he'll need to fit into a system of a sort. As much as I want Mcgregor to stay, I wouldnt grudge him a big move with a big pay as he is in the the top 5 keepers in the UK but it has to be nothing short of 10m.
  13. Possibly the best club performance Ive ever seen, it was on the highest stage too. People were saying it was men against boys, i found that unfair as it was more like Supermen. To call Man U boys was unfair because any other team in the world would have been in the same boat. Id struggle to name a World XI that could beat Barca at the moment when they play like that. They even had 5 ft 8" midefielder Mascherano at centre half and you wouldnt have been able to tell. Utd need a few signings to compete. Sneijder would be a start.
  14. I was looking forward to this tournament when it started up but the organisation has been messed up. 1 game in Feb during a busy period of when club footballs best part of the season starts, then the remaining games squeezed in at the end of the season. It should all be played in June or July when all fans are in need of some games and just before players go back for pre season. Having a slight competitive edge to it would give our players a head start for the season plus Euro qualifiers. I dont mind if all the games are played in one country but having a 50000 ground with only 6000 fans is again silly. Hopefully when the games are played in scotland they use the likes of Tynecastle, Easter Road or pittordrie to get full houses and a good atmosphere. With the bad organisation of this the FA and English will be thankful they didnt agree to take part.
  15. Agree with what Craig said
  16. Im still pissing myself at that picture Zappa.
  17. Thats just getting silly. This is reason the UEFA cup has went backwards. 3 qualifying rounds then if they do make it in there is about 40 games to even win it.
  18. Bobby Carlos is still playing? I thought he retired years ago.
  19. Im all for playing a big EPL side in a friendly but 3 weeks into the season and having a 'protocol' to postpone 1 game shows how laughable the SPL are. Fixture pile ups has been a problem for the last few years due to the winter plus heavy schedule after Xmas yet we are going to cancel a week in the summer? Strange one. Dado....yes we won 2-0 last time out, Sebo and Novo scored.
  20. Stab in the dark here but could Wenger be next up at Chelsea?? Abramovic wants the Arsenal way of playing while winning things so could offer Wenger a silly amount of money to take over.
  21. Hilarious!!
  22. Cant play it overseas, whats the just of it? Dodds is a Gers fan. Spoke to him a few times when he played for Aberdeen. I remember talking to him in a bar after he scored against us at ibrox to nick a 2-2 draw in the 90s and we had a joke about what was he thought he was doing!!

    Lafferty

    Always thought he had a bit of talent but was absolutely wasted on the left and he cant play their to save his life. Play him through the middle and we have a decent striker on our hands. Him and jelavic have looked to strike up a real decent partnership. Lafferty is capable of 20 goals a season if he stays sensible off the park and plays upfront. He has been a bit similar to Daniel Cousin....both are capable of good stuff upfront but the attitude has never been right, but Lafferty seems to have got a 2nd chance and he should grab it. A stay for me.
  24. For me, I include the scarpy wins at Hamilton, St Johnstone and Aberdeen. Hamilton away was 0-0 bar a quality piece of jelavic magic. Individual class from McGregor and Jelavic probably won us the title.....2 players i wouldnt swap at all
  25. We could mate, because Weiss is a right winger....WS played him on the left.
