Swap for McFaddy?? That would make my day!!

Have to say i see where Tully is coming from, Broadfoot was bought for back up and Ive never seen enough to suggest he can go on and become a great centre half. But if he left in January I would hardly be getting the tissues out as long as bought another better defender. He totally cant be compared with Hutton. Hutton had talent before his leg break and the ibrox crowd were split on him with many saying he has potential. Mo Ross was poor but Hutton offered much more than him. Gow has baffled me. He did do things in games with Falkirk to suggest he could go on to better things in a better side but he hasnt had a chance. There must be something that hasnt surfaced in this story.

Thomson has been average for me. Like others I was expecting a lot more. He plays well in certain games but has shockers in others. He is a fine player to have in the squad but Hemdani should be country miles ahead of him.

Yip without doubt! Ive got them all plus the NTL one after it. I stopped buying for a few years until 04/05 (I think) because im against having a kit for only 1 season. Up until 2001/02 we had a kit for at least 2 season. Frankie, any chance of getting the away and 3rd tops? Great post.

And right enough, its set for a return! But in Feb / March With the conclusion being played in the summer. Thats baffling for me. The point is to having a tournament in the summer when there is no football not in March when players will be possibly going for the medals at clubs. Once again people mess up a simple thing. Plus England have 2 weeks to decide if they want in. I bet they dont come in then once the tournament starts they will wish they were there and then claim they would win it if they were. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7107705.stm

Funnily enough his name came up yesterday on Talksport

Good man, and you remembered :cheers:

They should go for Mourinho, he would get the players playing to the best. If they want to stay English then Harry Redknapp would be there best choice, i think a lot of the fans will want Harry aswell.

Surely got to be a shout for playing this next summer with no british side involved in the Euro's. I bet England are the ones who dont go for it.

Just a wee spelling error - circumstantial was want i was saying. I only put an extra o and n in

No, thats circumstantional. I SUGGESTED we should GIVE him a new contract so the club could still do that. Unless there is already a clause in his current deal which says you only get an improved deal rather than a new one. Jons head is going to start spinning reading this now

I was skimming thru this and thought it said Alistair Darling - now he truly does tell porkies!! He must resign of that shambles of the child benefit records loss. :uzi:

Same thing ya fussy homo :uzi: And it may have to be new if he doesnt have certain clauses in it

Afraid its midweek so no bevying for me. Im at work already (9:40 here) so cant talk, just about to head to a meeting

I think he'll sign a new contract but it will have a get out clause if a big club comes in for him. But IMO we have to sign him up on bigger wages as he deserves it.

If there stadium gets upgrading then fair enough as long as they pay for it and the tax payer doesnt. The odd grant here and there is ok but the full amount would be ludicrious - but as frankie says very unlikely. It cost us a few million for Bar72 alone which added 900 seats. Maybe Hampden will take note of a 70k stadium then they will follow suit and get its capacity up so future games like last saturday can hold more fans. I think parkhead would be easier to upgrade than Ibrox, they can put an extra tier on that old shed where the players come out. But we need to either rip the screens out, or lower the pitch or take the club deck stairs out. Making our stands higher would be costly!! What Scotland needs is a 70k stadium for big matches like OF cup finals and Scotland games unless they start using Murrayfield. Plus we need a 30k stadium for cup semi finals where the OF arent involved. We have plenty stadia between 10-20 thousand then there is a jump to Ibrox and hampden of 50,000.

That result has just made my day, i forgot about it until I got to work this morning and saw the score. Truth be told, they got what they deserved. Everything about the england team is wrong at the moment. They expect to just turn up for matches, there attitude is all wrong. McLaren couldnt pick his nose never mind a team. For 1 thing he doesnt even have Englands best goalkeeper in the squad - Robert Green. Then he plays 4-5-1! He claims Lampard and Gerrard must play because they are goalscorers - but for me if you want goals you play strikers and goalscorers. Lampard and Gerrard score at club level - not every week - but strikers do. He should have went 4-4-2. McLaren will def be out of a job unless Birmingham fancy him. Mourinho for England??

I bet Middlesboro and Newcastle reserves are as good as some SPL sides!!

I wouldnt say 1 or 2 games only. I think every Bear can see the talent Buffel has and the fact we're screaming out for creativity is why id put him back in the team / squad. Ive said the same for Gow, that he should be tried. Ive even said the same that Burke could be tried in the hole behind the strikers. Im just identifying the right kind of player for the position we need and Buffel fits the bill perfectly. Maybe others do deserve a chance, but that doesnt say he doesnt especially when he could bring that something special to the team. I would only say all those players deserve to be ahead of him if your talking LM, RM and upfront places. But for a spark in the middle of the park then he and Gow would top my list for a try. I really would like to see Buffel in the same team as Ferguson and Hemdani somehow. And i would like to see Naismith get more action. Im totally not comparing the 2 as Ferguson is a banker to play every game if fit and has played how many more games?? But the stats would probably tell us Ferguson has probably had more bad games than Buffel has pulled on a Gers shirt due to him hardly playing and Ferguson choking up so many games!! But of course, Fergusons better games outrule the bad ones and when BF is on his game he runs the show. Absolutely, and i can see where your coming from. But it could be a case of what if. You have even said yourself you can see Buffel can play so what if he comes back in the side and performs to a new level. You know im not Boyds biggest fan but If Buffel was in the team id have Boyd upfront as then you have a player which is exactly what Boyd needs and you can justify Boyds type of game. :cheers:

We're talking career threatening injuries who had ended a lot of players games plus those who have been out for extra long periods. Buffel's career wasnt threatened. And its not just knees, its any injury to threaten ruining the career plays on the mind. Check how shite Michael Owen is now, he should be running around like a mummy he had had that much injuries

I cant see where the slating comes from against Buffel. People are acting like he is the only one who has been lacklusture when he plays. Captain Ferguson and Hero Boyd are as guilty as Buffel when it comes to having a bad game yet they get played in there favoured position. Buffel hasnt always been bad either. The OF game when we won 3-1 2 seasons ago he was superb - always against Porto at Ibrox when he came on.

A keeper wouldnt go a miss Pete BUt i fully agree with your team. Buffel should be played. Klos was slated for not knuckling down in the reserves, now Buffel seems to be doing this and has got the finger out and is starring!! He surely deserves a game. As soon as he leaves, he will be the one who got away. I strongly believe he will go onto another club and be one of their better players.

Would be a massive blow for us. But here's hoping he see's himself at Gers another few seasons to win some medals. I actually cant see him moving on in January, the summer would be more likely. Personally id be disappointed if Buffel goes without been given another chance. But I do think he will move on. He is the type of player we need. Same for Novo, he has been one of our better players recently. Gow baffles me! Webster - let him go. Its the 30k wages which puts me off Miller, I dont think he is worth that. He does a good job for Scotland but didnt do anything with us first time round. Id still prefer him to Boyd in a team playing the way we do. JCD and Cousin are still my first pick front 2. No idea about Kingston but id rather see a more established creative player seen as we will freeing up so much wages. Burke is welcome to leave IMO, he just hasnt made the next step in his career. But if he, Novo and Gow move on we are losing a lot of width. Big Ugo is 35 and hasnt got a long term future so he can move on.

Sebby Rozental was another with the knee injury was he not? And Big Marv? Gav's right here, once a knee goes a player loses confidence to do the slightest twist. For me, Webster was decent potential but I always thought it was Pressley who stood out at Hearts and made him look good.

I think he'll be thought about by every chairman bar the top 4 plus Spurs, Everton and Man City. Eck's reputation is growing the most rather than anything else, but he is still capable of mistakes. I see a club like Middlesboro being in for him soon. He will prefer a club who is established in the EPL for a number of years and who has a decent stadium and set up. N/A's Chelsea Man Utd Liverpool Arsenal Tottenham Man City - I wouldnt make this a 100% non starter. Sven could easy bonk a secretary and move onto an Italian club Everton - Moyes is pretty much set up for a while but again not a 100%. But would the toffees like a 3rd scot in charge in a row. Possibilities from both parties: Blackburn - Should Hughes move onto bigger job Newcastle Aston Villa - Although O Neill would need to move on first after a row with the yanks Middlesboro West Ham - Linked here before and going by rumours, Curbs has about 6 games to save his job Sunderland - Big club, depends if Keane goes in a huff or moves on Portsmouth - Not very fashionable and i think they would struggle without Harry Bolton - A slight possibility here due to there decent set up. Cant see Megson being a long term boss (meaning 2 season). No's: Fulham Birmingham Wigan Derby Reading The french league is a likely choice aswell.
