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.

Yeah I was thinking he will probably realise he will still only be 49 / 50 after the next qualifying group so he wont make a knee jerk reation. He can take Scotland to the next WC then he'll be in with a great job somewhere. But I agree he has made a few tactical boobs but at least this time he is playing defenders in defence, midfielders in midfield etc etc. He also did get a wee bit of luck like Georgia at home when Beattie nicked the winner in the last minute, he that goal didnt go in we would have been out earlier. But I think he has been tactically better for Scotland than he was with Gers. I still also think Walter Smith deserves more credit. He was the one who picked the team up when they were in a dire mess and transformed us. McLeish carry the tourch on.

I thought this was going to be about the problems Ive had the last few nights. Everytime I click on anything the forum freezes and I have to log back on again then it does the same. - Once again its me with problems Anyway, your idea sounds good. How we going to go about it though? Does 1 person tally up all the days posts then divide it into how many each person posted?

Good stuff about Smith. Hopefully Novo isnt out long, he'd be in my first XI at the moment. Whats the story with Webster anyway? Does he go back to Wigan in Jan or are we signing him?

Id say Eck was pretty much a good option right now therefore id prefer him to stay, and i think he will. If he does move on then i dont think Levein would be my first choice. I prefer experience. Davie Moyes would be great but I really cant see him leaving Everton. After that, George Graham springs to mind along with Souness and even Strachan.

Here is the free kick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZO1ysiicro I can maybe see where your coming from that he does look like he is running a bit casual but IMO thats Huttons style and the soaked pitch didnt help him as he was making a 180 degrees turn. IMO he was just about to draw the striker in the put the foot down and take up up the wing but he was whacked off the ball. You can clearly see he Hutton is going in with the shoulder (50/50) but is hacked off the ball. The linesman is a few feet away from it!! Unbelievable. Fletcher is standing like a cardboard cut out when the ball comes across.

Great point, and not only the CB's he was in the LB position so all 3 defenders werent there. What impresses me so much about Hutton is the ease and comfort he looks when he is on the ball. He is a natural player. He is priceless to the Rangers team right now because he offers us such a good attacking option - and he is a RB!! If we could get another De Boer to assist Hutton then id see goals flowing from our team.

Firsly Pete id be interested how you managed to think it was a free kick to Italy to start with. It wasnt even a 50/50 decision, Hutton was bundled off the ball. Personally I think Fletcher wasnt fit and i also think he is a bit over rated simply because he is a Man Utd player. He is a handy squad player for them at best and he doesnt really stand out in games. He normally does a good job for Scotland but i dont think he has had enough games since his injury. We still have the basis of a good young team. Once we get Quashie back to do the job Hartley attempted on Saturday we will have a more sold midfielder who can pass and tackle, which will help Ferguson out more. Not only that, we still have a lot of youngsters to still break into the squad.

Yip, the problem is that there are so many clubs in the premiership and championship with the same ambition of trying to establish themselves as a top 10 club but they are all cancelling each other out. It needs serious invesntment plus a big name manager to do it - like Man City this season. Their support also help. But then again Steve Gibson has probably been the best chairman in the EPL yet Middlesboro just cant get out of being a bottom half club. Birmingham have a bit of potential but it will take multi millions, they basically need a new team.

I thought Hutton was the main stand out. Fletcher and Brown werent that great for me but it should have been Hartley or Fletcher who came off rather than Brown. I think the wet conditions played its part and made it more tricky for us. People were happy it was raining with typical scottish weather but it pisses down in Italy aswell. I think we would have won if it was a dry pitch.

Not sure what to think about that but i know none of us would break there legs

He is just a egg and nothing else. He doesnt have a fookin clue about football. He offered Jewell an "unbelieveable" deal to return but somehow jewell turned it down. Cant wait until they get relegated again. The man is a turd.

Haha, Wigan will also pay Birmingham 3 million. :fish: Party time for Brum fans.
