And Blackburn sneak a cheeky winner in the 91st minute on Sunday with Ramos in the stands

Ps I find this result annoying as it un-does all our great work over the last week. Im not happy to accept just beating Celtic over a season if we cant beat lessor sides and challenge for the league. We have to get back to simple basics. One thing Smith needs to do is start picking 1 player from each position and play them in there real roles. For EG We have Beasley, McCulloch, Adam and Gow who can play LM - well we need to pick ONE and play him in a game. There is no point accommodating 2 or 3 of these players in the side playing them all over the place then having 3 strikers on the bench. Same for the RM. We have Novo, Burke, McCulloch again and Whittaker - pick one and play him. Those who dont make it need to dig deep in training and wait for there chance. These results are no longer one-offs and are beginning to happen too often. They cant continue going into the next round of matches.

Yeah that surely has to be the last time we have to see this 4-5-1 against the other SPL sides UNLESS we start deploying players who can play this system. Cousin does well up top on his own and would be an even bigger handful if he played with another striker. IMO Darcheville will be in there once fit but i still cant work out why we cant at least give Buffel or Gow a TRY in behind him. The role suits them and they can bring that extra spark we are looking for. Having Naismith play off Cousin is another option we should have tried today. We are suffering in midfield when Ferguson plays a further forward role like he did today. Thats never been his role and he plays much better when he starts deeper. But once again he didnt have a good game today but mucked up a number of set pieces. I feel we missed a calm cool and collective Hemdani in midfield again today. For me, once everyone is fit, I want to see: ______________McGregor_____________ Hutton____Weir_________Cuellar____Smith Novo_____Ferguson___Hemdani____McCulloch __________Buffel/Darcheville_____________ __________________Cousin_______________ Edit: Smith in for Papac but Smith is a long way off.

Aye Im looking at tha or Draw half time Arsenal full time 5/1

Stick it on Arsenal half time full time

Villa are level

Everton are 1 up though

Ive got villa, everton and Rangers. Il have a individual bet on arsenal game. Bolton started more bright in the Villa game though. Ive got all 4 prem games on plus the Gers game - im switching left right and centre to keep up to date with my coupon

And what is this other place your on, you traitor??? It has to be http://www.pervfiddler/forum.co.uk

Ok so Gretna didnt get a draw with Caley. There was only 1020 at that game, there was probably more people in the local asda, but i suppose it is the 2 most furthest apart teams in the league and neither was in there home town.

Ps Im preferring Sundays coupon. Arsenal, Villa and Rangers treble

I had the tartan shorts and tshirt but not the scarf. Is it not still on sale these days? It was a cracking design.

Tough one. I originally had Birmingham, Newcastle and Sunderland but all 3 are a toss of a coin. Wigan could get a draw at Brum, Reading arent bad at home and I have a sneaky feeling for Fulham to beat Sunderland. Fook knows!!

Id like to see the TV companies give the Scots, Welsh and Irish a bit more respect during broadcasting as there services go out to all 4 nations. But the Premiership is still decades ahead of the SPL. Can anyone see there being big interest down south or even in Scotland for Gretna's clash with Inverness today? If there is 2000 at that game they will be lucky. And I know id rather be watching Spurs v Blackburn than Gretna v Caley.

Gus Poyet is supposed to be wanted by Ramos as his No.2 and has been told to stay away from Leeds game against Millwall today. That could bugger up Leeds push when they are on such a good run. But who cares about Leeds BTW Leeds v Millwall today - that could be a bit of an ugly clash with supporters.

I wonder if thats offensive to the Muppets?

How much shite does Alan hansen talk!! "You dont win anything with kids" springs to mind.

Only one id maybe change is Gretna, i fancy them to get a draw with Inverness. I wouldnt bet on Motherwell getting a point at parkhead either, they are playing well while cletic have zero confidence right now. Craig, what are you thinking!! Get home son!! You've done more hours today than ive done all week - Im only in work today coz we're having a staff BBQ at 4pm

The valuve of his current contract will have something to do with as will the fact he plays in the SPL - although the scottish game is getting stronger. But if we were to look at just value only then if Michael Ball was 6 million then Hutton should be 12 million. But maybe we over paid for Ball either that didnt see the best out of him due to injury. I wouldnt take a penny less than 9 million for him, but would much rather he signed a new deal and stayed.

Calscot raises some fine points and Barca arent being realistic. Defending is 50% of the game. So if we defended well can we have a go at Barca for trying to attack well!! We had a good few efforts and if there was another 10 mins on the clock i wouldnt have bet against us nicking a goal. Now on to the Nou Camp with a 10-0-0 formation :fish:

TBH Jol has dealt with this with great dignity. To have the chairman meet with Ramos behind his back was a joke, but he stayed on and tried. He was always going to leave after that meeting. Results wise they were under pressure from day 1 as they all thought they wer going to break into the top 4 this season (and at the expense of Arsenal :fish: ). But they should have done what Man City did and just get on with the job in hand. I rate Jol as a manager and if Curbishley doesnt start getting West Ham up the table after the money he has spent then I hope Jol doesnt leave London just yet.

Its a group they wont get out of but id still rather have seen them get a result for our league. Once again its shows the gap in class that the rest of Scottish teams are behind. The greek league isnt anything special so id like to think the 3rd team in scotland could have given them a better game.

Its just you raised a point that I was being racist against Polish when there was no contrete evidence and this made me think you were against certain issues, but IMO if we are to be liberal, then in this case the main attack in this thread is against gays more than anything else. By certain nationalities I was referring to the Polish. But as explained I originally meant that its those Ive came across who have been dodgy. I have seen plenty of them walking the street and I havent made a thought about thise ones, only those ive had experience with.

Just an addition to the matter, and its a serious question. Do you find the original post offensive towards gays aswell or just the racial stereotyping towards certain nationalities?

Also, I dont like to perceive a "group" or "individuals" based on reputation. I think assumption is one of lifes biggest mistakes. Only once someone does something wrong is the stage I'll base my judgement. For eg, Ive never met a Cuban in my life so if 20,000 Cuban's moved to Aberdeen I wouldnt automatically call them dodgy. But R.E Boruc, I think even the highest respected saint of a Rangers fan would class him as a clown before any picture was branded round websites purely on his comments and past behaviour.
