  1. I just spat my chilli con carne out reading the headline when entering the football lounge! :fish:
  2. There was times in the summer where id forgotten about Edu. I agree he can be a key player. He brings a different kind of energy to the team that seems to spark up the midfield. I like the fact he is physical and can be a box to box type of player. If we could get 2 consistant wide men then having Edu and Thomson play together in the centre midfield would give us a solid look and thats without thinking about Davis. will definatly be a welcome back when he returns.
  3. Who is Graham Gillespie BTW?
  4. 5 months ago I would have scoffed at the thought of my saying Im looking forward to Broadfoot being back. But he is one of those you need in your squad and is a better option for Centre back than McCulloch IMO.
  5. Nice gesture, but I dont see why armed forces get singled out as hero's. There are surgeons and doctors etc saving people's lives on a daily basis and nurses wiping old granny's back sides for peanuts and i dont see them get much rewarding.
  6. Yeah I know we have Ally as assistant manager and this is likely to groom him for the main job after WS but assistant manager is a bigger step up. We could have had McCoist in years ago as a striking coach. But the likes of Laudrup and albertz and now even Prso and blue through and through and could easy be scouting parts of Europe for young talent, not to mention the techinical gifts they could pass on our squad from the U16s to the first team.
  7. I like the way Celtic go after their best player in the last 30 years as a coaching role yet we have never approached the likes of Laudrup, Albertz, De Boer, Goram, Wilkins, Gough, McCall etc for coaching / scouting roles.
  8. I see your point but we are going backwards playing in the SPL at the moment. We are being held back. If the OF move to a Euro league or down south the potential for us would be ridiculous. The fact Cardiff, Swansea, wrexham and formerly Merthyr Tydvil played in the English leagues is the argument I have for us moving down south. Those teams were always in the lower tiers of the league but Cardiff and Swansea have advanced greatly recently and are probably easy on par with the OF for wages etc. The potential those clubs have now are huge and if Cardiff can get promoted they could become a big team in the Premier League.
  9. Thomson, Mendes and Davis should be our first pick midfield trio IMO and they should be in a 4-3-3. Moving Davis on the right for one game then in the centre for the next can only make him inconsistant. Mendes has been better when given more of a free role. He started the OF game very well but went out the game once he got put into a more defensive holding role.
  10. I wonder if it would be possible to keep a team in the Scottish leagues which would be made up of our reserves or U21's if that was allowed. Considering we have pulled our reserve team out of that league it would seem a good idea even if we had to start off in Div 3. That way we are still represented in Scotland and other clubs would still get to play the OF and it would be on a bit more of an even playing field. Im sure a reserve Rangers and Celtic team would still manage to pull a bit of a crowd in. One rule would have to be that the squad would be submitted before the season starts and there could be no first team players moving to the reserves during the season.
  11. Russia v GERMANY DENMARK v Sweden Rep v Italy - draw tenner returned 230
  12. Steady! I'm there this month and dont want to be hit by a flying Burley!
  13. Best question yet! Just stop him gaining entry and let him bark on about not getting in which will make him look like a child mumping about being grounded. But what gets me most about the article is its all 1 sided. You dont need to sit in the Celtic end to hear the songs they sing. The poor guy thinks he is a journalist.
  14. Could it be now that pal Barry Ferguson has gone he seems lost??
  15. Miller gets MOTM for me for being the match winner and a great performance until he was moved out to the right. Both his goals were taken well and he out muscled their defence for both of them. Weir was good along with fine first half performances from Davis and mendes. Mendes went out the game when Lafferty came on and we switched to 5 in midfield with Mendes playing a more defensive role. Agree with Ascender, boyd's only contribution was for the goal, he didnt touch the ball other than that. he also contributed to the 2nd goal by missing the ball which meant it was in Miller's path.
  16. Id have no problem with Papac moving to centre half long term, he hasnt been bad there at all, and that allows Smith in at LB. But at the moment Papac is and should be first pick at LB. He is arguably our most consistant performer in the last 12 months. Its good to see Smith back and getting form back for the long term also but he cant be rushed after his injury problems.
  17. I didnt see that bit either, you can see durrants face knowing he is away to get a rollocking or having to sort something out.
  18. The word cars in that advertisment should be changed to mhanks.
  19. Fair play to sunderland on a good performance and having a go at Old trafford. Steve Bruce is probably the best english manager going about at the moment. That result opens up the top of the league if its a draw at Chelsea today plus Arsenal win there games in hand - Blackburn today plus Bolton at home.
  20. I'll send you mine if you want.
  21. Just shows how wrong it was to a) not sign a defender in the summer and b) even letting Webster go. Weir and whoever stands in is still as good or better than Caldwell and McManus.
  22. Same here. Man U, Newcastle, Sheff U and Oldham all drew.
  23. Did them as a double. tenner paid out 110 quid.
  24. I like Novo in any team so would include him from the start. If picking my first choice XI at the moment with everyone fit id go: _________________Alexander_______________ Whittaker_____Bougherra____Weir_______Papac _______Davis______Thomson____Edu_________ _______Novo_______Miller_______Lafferty_____
  25. Who? Ive got 2 draws on in the early matches between Coventry v leicester and Preston v West Brom. 0-0 in the latter match as im watchin it but not sure abou the score at coventry. (or cuventry as some commentators say)
