Gribz

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!!

I think he came to us "a job too early" and now I think he has went to the Premiership "a job too early" seen as its Birmingham. He may look back in 15 years and think he should have taken on the WC qualifiers then moved to the Premiership as he'll think he wasnt even Scotland manager for a year.

This is a wrong move for him if he wants to be ambitious even though his wages will double. No way will Birmingham be a top 10 EPL club. His resignation stinks a wee bit but the SFA knew he wanted a club so they could have allowed Birmingham to talk to him. However if he waited a bit longer he would have got the chance of Newcastle or Middlesboro as I feel those 2 jobs are coming up, but Newcastle will probably go foreign. Anyway as Gisabeer said, Walter set the Scotland side up for him, ive said Smith deserves more credit for the Euro campaign and bar the France game McLeish still makes mistakes. He'll need to take Roy Aitken with him coz Andy Watson wont be able to cut Premiership football. Next Scotland boss?? Only Gary McAllister is appealing out of the mentioned names. I dont want Davies, Burley, Levein, Souness, Jordon or Dalglish. Id rather have: McAllister Venables George Graham Strachan

Whilst he did a good job with Derby I dont want him near the Scotland job

Draw and Draw for me

I think this is great, obviously it would be better with England so we can pump them at Wembley but once it starts they will wish they were in it.

Will be announced soon. I find this sacking a disgrace. He has lost his job as a result of over achieving. Derby were going nowhere and down around the bottom half of the Championship until Davoes came along and brought them up straight away - probably a year too soon. But he had an average team and to stay up he needed backed by the board and a hole overhaul of the team which isnt possible. What do would the board rather want - a season in the Premier league to make money and gain experience or to still be in the Championship playing Hull and Blackpool? They could have this year to gain experience then come back stronger next year. Even Sir Awex and Wenger would do a good job to keep Derby up now so Ive no idea who will come in and attempt to save them. Im nor a Davies fan or dislike him but I cant see where this has come from at all.

Yip McGregor for me. His 2 saves was fantastic. The one he tipped over the bar would have gone past many a keeper and he showed how alret he was from Huttons header. He is this seasons most improved player. I wasnt happy with going with him as our No.1 but he has came on leaps and bounds.

Before the draw everyone was saying we should go on and get to the WC now. But this system where the 2nd team only gets a play off is a total buggar for us and could see us lose out yet again. I think the top 2 from each group should always just go through.

FOOK SAKE Had West ham onto win and another bet with Boa Morte to get the first goal but as soon as i picked it i knew Cole would score first. All bets suspensed

I think it could have been a lot easier. Iceland are probably the best out of the last seeds and Macedonia are a Georgia type team. But Im looking round the groups and cant see a tough group due to there being more groups this time round.

Interesting comments from George Galloway about Reid just now on his talk radio show. Saying a few things, but mainly that Reid used to teach people the IRA handbook of songs in his earlier days as a Irish Republican.

Thats you fooked now. I found that aswell and had about 6 wins until I came on here and said I dont tell people it now coz i was winning. Since then i havent had a win. Im raging about Man U - cost me 250 quid!!

Im stopping betting. Portsmouth won 2-0 Villa won 3-0 And leaders Watford lose 3-2 My 6fold Rangers Win Arsenal Win Everton Win Southampton Win Chelsea should win Man U lose :uzi:

Yip, that line is sitting ok going into the 2nd half. Also got a six-fold accum but Man U are on it and losing at half time. Bar them its looking good.

Thats quality and I was just hearing the England players are taking 150k each for there failed bid - thats disgusting.

Bets for today? I fancy 3 aways: Portsmouth at Birmingham Villa at Boro Watford at Barnsley (or Burley cant remember)

Whats Jons excuse, he agreed with you :fish:

Yeah and the draw is this Sunday for the qualifiers, so how can England get Brazil dumb nuts?? European teams play european team :uzi:

Im not looking at your predictions. I dropped Dundee Utd from my coupon 2 weeks ago coz i remembered your post and it cost me 200 quid.

Agreed. I see the rivalry like Scotland and England. I dont hate the English, but i like to see them getting beat. I also dont hate celtic. Hate, as you say, is a strong word which is over used at times. Now there are plenty things i do dislike about celtic, one of them being there bizarre comments this week about IRA chants, and another is lower class fans chanting ignorant songs but I rise above that and there are plenty other things to dislike about them. I do enjoy seeing them getting beat but i dont go out my way to hate something that is directly linked to celtic for no reason.
