There is a slight difference between the 2 games and situations. I dont think we need to cancel. Our squad is big enough to rest our main players and other players should come in and have enough to beat fookin Gretna.

I really want us to go and win the cup this year as it will be 5 years since we last won it back in 2003 against Dundee. Thats too long for us to not be even in a final. We'll take East Stirling at home and that pretty much should be step 1 complete

Rep Ireland with a bit of luck!

Id like to see that team!!! Very attack minded

Plenty of tickets available to Lyon with EuroStar mate but thats about it, but if your making the journey across for the big T.O (quality city) then I hope you get one

Bollocks, Ive never denied Boyd scores some goals, but its just that the rest of his game is non exsistant and ive identified the fact Boyd goes 4 games without scoring then gets a few against the poorer teams. He has barely scored against the better teams or in big matches. Crouch for me is far better than Boyd and offers much more. All I said about him was I dont like his style but I can add he offers more than just scoring goals (and some of his goals have been peaches - over head kicks, volleys - its just they dont look could coming from a lacky lad), I said above he must be a nightmare to play against - something Boyd isnt - crikey defenders could probably get away with not marking Boyd if he is upfront himself.

I wouldnt say no to giving Naismith a run, just a shame its on the left though but im sure he will do a job. As Alan said though, Smith will probably go with Adam and Whittaker - depressing thought when I feel we have more exciting options in Naismith, Gow and Buffel :cheers:

I thought they would get a pumping about 5-0 over there but 2-0 isnt bad and they lost a pen right on half time. Some of the UEFA cup teams are better than their name suggests. Blackburn got knocked out by an unheard team and Spurs came close to defeat last night. Does this say the Premiership is over rated that we expect these teams to be beat? I call for a re-vamp of the Euro Comp's to stop favouring the big teams. The likes of Valencia and Lazio are pish at the moment, Stuttgart and Bremen have been poor and Bayern M arent even in the CL. Good on Rosenburg if they make it through.

Have to say Souness is swaying me a bit now, i think it could suit him a bit more than day to day hassles which he seems to get. If he got a strong assistant then it would help. Gary Mac would be ideal along side him but maybe Richard Gough, Paul Lambert or Colin Hendry would be a good choice.

What are Valencia doing right now!! They cost me my coupon the other night.

I can see where the caller is coming from , i dont like watching Crouch due to the shape of him. Its nothing personal as he is probably a decent guy but his 8m legs and 4m arms are everywhere. He can stick a leg out from 22 yards and get a ball that is put into the penalty spot. But he scores goals all the same and must be a buggar to play against with those bones digging into someone.

This isa bit of a blow but we have the cover in the squad. Time for Buffel I say It would mean changing the set up a wee bit but thats ok.

It wont be Gary Mac then! http://msnsport.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12017_2927766,00.html

I thought this thread was a joke and Faye was added for same reason as Chris put. I never realised he was part of the arrests :fish:

I think Fletcher is a banker to go to Birmingham. Id have him at Gers but not for 3 million as I agree he is over rated although I think he could hold his own in the SPL.

Definatly a creative player should be first up if Buffel and Gow arent going to get a chance and a LB is needed badly. If Papac gets an injury then we have nobody. I think we are ok for numbers upfront at the moment but obviously January could change that

As well as he has came on this season (and ive been very impressed by him) he still has a bit to go to match Klos. McGregor does have a very good defence infront of him aswell - probably the strongest its been for a few years. But he is heading in the right direction and he isnt far off Craig Gordon for Scotland No.1.

Not Georgia away?

But didnt he storm off again after that or pull out of a match coz he couldnt be assed?

Gary O Connor's future should be interesting!!

7 Games in December so all who have put there name down previously get a game. If you no longer want it or cant manage that game please let me or Frankie know. I will actually be on my travels from this weekend until the New Year so will be on and off, but Im in between trips so can do the Hearts game. Sat Dec 1st - SPL - Kilmarnock (Home) - Craig Sun Dec 9th - SPL - Gretna (Away) - Super Ally Wed Dec 12th - CL - Lyon (Home) - AlanMidd Sat Dec 15th - SPL - Hearts (Home) - Gribz Sun Dec 23rd - SPL - Aberdeen (Away) - Frankie (AND HAS ANYONE GOT ME A TICKET FOR THAT YET??? ) Wed Dec 26th - SPL - Motherwell (Home) - Fraser Sat Dec 29th - SPL - Hibs (Away) - Ascender Its a tough schedule for the Gers and Celtic and Dundee Utd follow in the first week in Jan.

As expected, and takes Watson and Aitken with him: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/birmingham_city/7115728.stm It will be interesting to see how he does. Having Aitken will help as he has premier league experience at Leeds and Villa. I wonder who he will come back to Ibrox for!! Id put money on Hemdani and Boyd being the first 2 and maybe Buffel.

That was Roy Hodgson is it not? Gets linked to every job outside the UK.

Who is Stuart Baxter? Dalglish may be worth a bet at that odds. Billy Davies - No thanks Craig Levein - No thanks Gary McAllister - Yes but a better No.2 Jim Jefferies - NOOOO Thanks Graeme Souness - Maybe George Burley - maybe Gordon Strachan - Yes Jimmy Calderwood - No thanks Joe Jordan - A decent assistant but not No.1 John Collins - Maybe in a few years Mark McGhee - maybe Roy Aitken - decent assistant George Graham - Yes Ally McCoist - No he stays at Gers David Moyes - Yes but no chance Martin Jol - Yes please Richard Gough - Another decent assistant Sir Alex Ferguson - In our dreams Steve McLaren - Lol - no thanks Stuart Baxter - If someone wants to tell me who he is and who he manages I'll comment Kenny Dalglish - Possibly wouldnt be a bad choice as he won the top english league Terry Venables - Yes Please Tommy Burns - No.2 at best Bruce Rioch - Nah Colin Calderwood - No thanks Craig Brown - No Paul Lambert - Part of the coaching staff Colin Hendry - Same as Lambert David Weir - No, he is playing at his peak Stuart McCall - Hasnt nearly done enough to warrant it but could be a coach

Im actually getting withdrawal symptoms today seen as a manager hasnt lost or left his job yet. How many recently: Chelsea Spurs Bolton Wigan Birmingham Derby Leicester (Megson to Bolton / Holloway in) Plymouth (Sturrock in for Holloway) Swindon (Sturrock out) Internationals: Rep Ireland Scotland England Rumours: Newcastle Middlesboro Liverpool (5000 to make protest in tonights CL game) Fook me!!
