Can see Eck taking him to Birmingham if it was on a free.

Yip the wee games are as important - no doubt about that and it was the games against wee teams last season that cost us so much. Our record against the lower half teams was awful. But I cant single out Lovenkrands in the past and Buffel. I dont think Buffel has played nearly enough games. Last season most of the squad was guilty of being poor in games yet people tend to pick out those with that extra bit of ability who dont do it every week. For me, every player is as guilty as the next man when we play bad. I dont actually think attitute is always to blame, it could just be that persons way of body language. Negri had a supposed shocking attitude but was awesome. There are players who play with a smile on their faces and some who dont. Same as a normal day to day office - you get happy people and miserable bassa's.

.......And Konterman
-
Why make it public knowledge that he isnt going to be getting a regular game? What good can that do to Novo's morale?
-
EH, thats what I said. Im just saying he shouldnt use the words "he". Novo will look at that and give himself the option of moving away.
-
Its typical, a celtic crime makes Rangers look bad. IMO its only the ned type who sing it who looks bad and all Rangers fans cant be classed in that category. TBH, if anything comes out of this singing of it, then awareness does come out. For e.g when this was first mentioned on these boards there was a few posters (myself included) who was made aware of what exactly it meant. But as I said there will be plenty of normal Gers fans like Cammy who dont get offended by it but can let it go. (Unless Cammy has transferred from Punk to a bucky drinking Ned )
-
Lovenkrands record in Europe and OF games was superb. Seeing Buffel and Lovenkrands in the same team would excite this bear, it would just take a manager to get them in the mood every game.
-
Id say Ferguson is guaranteed a place in the team. If Smith had said nobody is guaranteed a place then that sounds better but to single out Novo and say he wont get a regular game is a bit off.
-
There are 2 sets of people mentioning this IMO. There are neds who are just trying to score points because the guy next to him sings it and they believe its an anti-celtic song and a pro-rangers song. Then there are others who want to issue raised and like Cammy, wont sing it but dont find it offending. Until a survey of those effected by it was done then everything is based on asumptions whether its is offensive or not. But there is no shame in mentioning the issue. Walking round the streets steaming out of your head singing it is a shame but only to the person doing the singing as he then looks a clown.
-
Lovenkrands is a player we shouldnt have let leave in the first place and Id welcome hs return.
-
Id be happy to see Novo staying on but dont like that comment in bold. At the moment (if fit) Novo should be starting.
-
Was shocked to see a 3-2 win for Birmingham. Luck certainly follows McLeish around does it!!
-
I was unaware that the lyon game may be off. If thats the case Id be more up for calling off the Gretna game.
-
Agree with Cammy here. Its similar to the 9/11 situation where the media claims the families of the victims dont want to hear any conspiracy challenging the official lies but this is nonsense. A huge percentage of families (who have refused pay offs) are all for re-opening the investigation. So im sure the families involved here may be offended by this being swept under the carpet. If it was me personally id be more angry with CFC rather than anything else.
-
I would personally say it doesnt need to be postponed but come the Lyon game I would probably think it was a decent idea if it does. However I just dont want to see this sort of thing taking off round the country and in europe or games will be postponed left right and centre. The Scotland game was a one-off and a situation for the national side to be again wont come around for a long time. I also think the every SPL game should have been postponed that day and not just the OF games to keep in line with fairness. No way will my team above play against Gretna but it shows that we should have enough options to rest our important players or take them off after an hour or so. However if we were playing Hibs away (for example) then I think there would be a much louder voice to postpone that game, i think maybe its the view that we are playing Gretna and should automatically win.
-
Yeah hopefully.... but i still would prefer him to be more of a back up for the full backs as I prefer a more attacking option on the right midfield than him.
-
If Scotland lost any of our preferred starting XI then our next lot of players drop down a level and we were up against the world champions and trying to qualify for the first time in 10 years. We are playing Gretna in a tournament that comes round every year and Lyon are in the same boat in the french league. This team wont play against Gretna but even if it did it should still be enough for a win. _________________Carroll_________________ Whittaker____Ehiogu______Broadfoot_____Papac Naismith_____Faye______Thomson______Adam/Gow _____________Boyd_____Buffel____________

Cheers Ian Whittaker took his goal very well.

Liverpool v Bolton Tottenham v Birmingham Aberdeen v Hibernian 2 homes and a draw for me although i wouldnt rule out a hibs win today. I'll be interested to see Birmingham today with Big Eck in charge although its his first game and he hasnt really had time to work with the players. He may get a reaction and Spurs do have a dodgy defence. Bolton have been impressive under Megson which has surprised me and I think they will stay up now, but I do see Anelka moving on in January (for a change).
-
Yip top 2. No 2 teams stand out from any group. Czech and Portugal would normally stand out in group A but Switz are at home so will run them close. Those groups make it much better for the neutral fan. Italy v Holland etc - the teams will have to go for it or they could be out early doors
-
Man City cost me my treble yesterday. I had: Blackburn to beat Newcastle (I stayed away from the NE treble as i faniced the odds more than the teams) Draw between Portsmouth and Everton (banker draw if there ever was one) Man City to beat Wigan - fookers :uzi:
-
Not saying he is crap for that reason but its not the first recently. Im not wanting to pick it out personally though. But I feel this is just one of these games that shows he isnt as clinical as everyone thinks. Its a shame Darcheville went off early as it would have been interesting to see how they panned out as a partnership as i have always said Boyd needs a worker up with him if he is playing.
-
Seeing Italy, Holland and France drawn together is great. It makes the group games much more appealing and shows why seedings should be scrapped in all tournaments. I might have an early tip for Spain. Yet again its time they did something at a tournament.
-
What about that for Group C!!!
-
I hope Hutton doesnt go and id want another million or 2 than that for him. BUt he will be sought after if he keeps playing the way he does. As for Boyd, I knew Eck would be in for him and prob Hemdani. IMO he can have Boyd (who is becoming a master at fresh air shots)
