  1. He's only realising it because Boro have been rank. Had they been in a play off position and challenging for promotion you can bet your bottom dollar he wouldnt be thinking about a move back.
  2. Hitman?? Slight exaggeration there. Absolutely no thanks.
  3. You could throw Lou Macari into that list. He had a stinking time at Celtic also. Tony Mowbray cant be on the list, he is a legend :grin:
  4. I think FIFA are corrupt at the top. My guess is Qatar have bought the 2022 WC. It will be 50oC in the summer there, crazy heat and crazy to have a WC in a tiny place. I thought the other 4 were all much better shouts. I was hoping England got the 2018 one as Euro 96 was a cracking tournament and felt they could better it. But Russia was a banker and fair decision as they havent held a tournament before.
  5. not only is it good to have a 2 week break to let those injured get fitness back but those who have played every game will be recharging their batteries. That is huge for the likes of Weir, Davis, McCulloch and Miller.
  6. I thought they would keep him as they couldnt afford to sack him but I suppose relegation would have cost them more. Pity. Beeb says Calderwood may return which is surprising. Others linked are Butcher, John Hughes, Strachan and Gus McPherson.
  7. And Im looking forward to a wee trip to Wembley in February
  8. Id take him, would be good to get more attacking midfielders. Although cant see any lightin the story at all unless he has had a fall out. West Ham were sniffing about him in the summer and West brom knocked back 4 million and 7 million bids for him.
  9. What a win for the Hammers. Had a feeling before the Stoke match West Ham could get to Wembley this season but when we drew Man U I thought that might be it given how bad Avram Grant has been but 4-0 which is Man Utd's first defeat in about 30 games is awesome, plus they had a have decent team out. Arsenal are favourites by a mile. I think Birmingham will beat Villa tonight and West brom to beat Ipswich in the other match. So then it will be the luck of the draw who avoids Arsenal.
  10. Holy shit, first glance of that and I thought it was a Gersnetter father and son. Weiss looks not a day older than 14. Yet Captin Kirk looks about 45
  11. ,Easily a 12 million pound player. Alan Hutton was raved about as being the most improved Ranger but McGregor is in with a shout about that. When he returned from Dunfermline loan I wasnt happy about him being out No.1, now he is up there with the best in the UK. Goram was a stand out in his time - probably the best in Europe at times, so for McGregor to be top 5 in UK is following Gorams way. Id be disappointed if McGregor went to a smaller club than Arsenal or Man Utd.
  12. Ive probably never read so much nonsense in my life. Boyd makes Miller look like Messi??? Dont want him near Ibrox?? - This after his 18 goals this season?? How much have you been smoking? I used to get shot down for a "dislike" against Boyd which was thought to be personal. It couldnt be further from the truth as it was pure a footballing reason. To me it sounds like your stuck in the 80s and bitter Miller played for Celtic for your dislike to him. Miller is easily proven a better all round player than Boyd at all levels. WS tactics are to blame for him being isolated. Do you expect Naismith's header to be pinpointed to Millers exact location????
  13. Why isnt promoting youngers or lower league Refs an option? Surely there is Refs who Ref Highland league and Junior games. The rules cant be that different
  14. Portugese and israeli officials still due to come though. Chance of some matches to go ahead but no games confirmed.
  15. It doesnt bother me too much at all as long as they Ref the game properly. The only problem I foresee is if there was different rules from our game to the leagues they ref which is unlikely in top flight football. It does make a mockery of the SFA running the game but they have been doing a good job that themselves for years and years. But I suppose the games going ahead are the main thing as fans have been counted as No.1 here (or so they say). If I had a ticket for Tannadice this Sunday at it was my first game coming from overseas in years id be pissed off if it was cancelled with no effort. I dont think it takes Scottish independance out of the game, the day the 3 foreigner rule was scrapped ended that. It used to be a foreigner playing in the league was an interesting thing and original. As long as its a one off thing and doesnt go Global then there is no harm, the last thing we want is globalisation in football with games being played abroad etc like the EPL are trying. Although the Atlantic League was something I was always open to due to the gap between the OF and the rest of the SPL.
  16. Probably why the Swedish and Norweigan Ref's said no thanks....they werent coming over to stay in a caravan and make peanuts.
  17. Davie Weir for me
  18. Gribz

    Broadfoot

    Yip. He'd have been in my team ahead of Whittaker for the last 6 weeks.
  19. Dont often disagree with you Pete but I have to here. Miller has been overall brilliant this season but i think he is suffering from a bit of fatigue (both mentally and physically). He's got 18 goals and we are not even in December. Granted since the OF game his performances have dropped but changing formation every week to have a partner upfront then play on his own isnt helping him either.
  20. Gribz

    Broadfoot

    Yip thought he played well but Weir was outstanding for me. I dont find it a coincidence that so many other defenders seem to play well when they are next to Weir. Thats Wilson, Bougherra and Broadfoot.
  21. TBH I think this game has been in the minds of everyone, even WS. Im sure WS has a wee thing to beat Fergie and he can pull something off. The formation will be interesting, the 5-4-1 has been good in Europe but with no Bougherra it may change.
  22. Its a good job Barry is into a wee bit of dope and drink to calm himself
  23. No way chaps. Im confident in this one. They only nicked it 1-0 in 2003 with a late Phil neville goal, they arent as good as they were and if we can draw 0-0 at Old Trafford then we beat them at the Brox.
  24. Gersnet wouldnt be Gersnet with no downtime. Best forum around...11 months out of 12
  25. If there is money available then the team could be done with 2 fresh additions in midfield and defence. Having Kerbar (sp?) available now is a good addition but we were always going to be light in the centre mid once Kevin Thomson was sold. Fleck is more of an attacking mid for me so cant count in the position Edu, McCulloch and Davis can play. So a centre mid is top priority along. Webster is a joke, if he was even available for the odd game it would make a difference. Getting Jelavic back will be a blessing.
