Yeah agree with first sentance that it is the formation and probably due to the lack of "a" creative player. However I really see Fergusons position as a thing that can hold the team back. He still cant decide if he is a defensive or offensive player and he still plays too centre centre (not left / right side of centre) for my liking which kills of Thomsons or Hemdani's game and takes out another position. Im not saying Ferguson should be dropped, just relocated in the line up. Id still like to see a diamond formation at home with Hemdani or Thomson in the holding role and Buffel or Gow given a crack at the attacking role.

I agree Boyd has raised his work rate and is putting himself about a bit more, but IMO he is still far off from being good enough. He doesnt beat a defender nor create anything. If Cousin is playing with Darchville then he doesnt have to throw himself about so much as JCD will do the work for him, but Cousin offers more than Boyd.

Yeah. And dont you think Cousin is much more mobile than Boyd??

Whereas this is good, i also prefer a caution approach

I will do, hopefully she provides more than footy :cheers:

Yeah craig I was gonna mention to you, I looked into it mate but was told i can only get a small window at the corner of my screen. I dont wanna sign up if thats all. Do you have it set up to confirm this as I was gonna see what you have.

Cheers Ian. Its a fiver for the Scotland game there which Id pay for but im always reluctant with these things incase I pay and dont get the game or i get screwed cash wise.

Are you kidding me!!! FFS Teale shouldnt play and McFadden should be first name on the team sheet. Look at the talent in McCulloch, Brown, Fletcher, McFadden but he plays Teale!!!!!! Boyd shouldnt start, he isnt creative enough and we need to work to get a goal against this team.

Massive game today aswell for the auld enemy and id smirk a lot if Israel nicked a point but I can only see a home win. I think England will play better with Fat Frank out but they shouldnt be risking Gerrard although he is there best player. I would have Carson in goal but Robert Green should be England No.1 by a country mile. England team IMO: ______________Carson_____________ Richards____Terry___Ferdinand___A Cole Bentley____Gerrard___Carrick___J Cole __________Johnson___Defoe________

Anyone give me a internet link where I can watch or listen to the game?? BBC is UK listener only. Would be much appreicated!

Cant agree with that. Scotland v Wales would fill Hampden and Millenium no probs.

Folks, have a look at flights from Prestwick to Gerona (Spain). Gerona is about 45 mins from Barcelona and a few airlines do cheap flights from Prestwick. If I was there Id give it bash.

Have to agree with that. We are actually making the point known about child abuse rather than the Celtic Cover up.

McCulloch and Sebo for me But Boyd is still a no-go IMO. He gets the odd goal this season but his performances are pish and not enough for the team. Darchville works 10 times harder and Cousin has more class. Cousin and Darchville at the moment IMO

Considering Hearts start I think a win is the main aim but they are such a bizarre team that we cant expect it. Walter will get the troops sorted for it though and Im sure we can nick a win :cheers:

Diamond formation: ____________Thomson___________ Novo____________________Beasley _____________Gow______________

Perfect start to the SPL season - Played 5 won 5. We have the biggest squad with competition for places this decade and the team has morale and confidence about it. We have pumped 11 goals in our last 2 home league games and have just been drawn Barcelona in the Champions league. So everything seems rosey in the garden. But IMO we must keep our feet on the ground. We have a long long way to go in the league and the CL is about to start. Ive read a few people going over board IMO saying things are like the old days in WS era but I cant agree with this at this early stage. I dont want to put a downer on the mood but we have still to be really tested. We werent in a comfort mode against Zeta or Red Star at Ibrox and they dont have a patch on the sides that will come to Ibrox in the CL proper. Our realistic expections were probably just to qualify for the CL then see what we get. But financially we will be better off and we can take experience from this campaign. But the important thing is to go on and win back our SPL title so we are at the same stage next year expect with a more experienced side. I still feel there is a lack of creativity in the team that Im hoping Buffel will sort. We have a tough trip to Hearts next who have started poorly but got there season kickstarted away to Motherwell last week. This will be the first tricky test but with the way we are set out I think we can win there. Lets hope the was we have started is the way it goes all season but we cant forget how bad things were a short 9 months ago.

One can never be sure of these things

Can someone explain this to me as to why he is getting called Run DMB?? Im sure its in relation to Run DMC but I just need it clarified incase i missed something.

It shouldnt be sang but people are over reacting as if it was a poison song. I personally didnt know what it was all about until recently so have never sang or heard about it. Im sure a lot of Bears are in the same boat but sing it coz the next guy sings it. But surely we shouldnt feel the need to sing this, we have enough Rangers songs to sing.

A well deserved double.

No cant agree with that Frankie. I like the footy thread on its own and get a good few topics especially for the Premiership. I'll get things busy again :cheers:

My first comments on the draw: Fantastic! Although I was hoping for an English club Id take Barca, I just didnt want Inter again. Ive back Lyon on the last few years in the CL (an outside bet) but I actually think this is a good time to play them as they have sold a few players and are re-building. Stuttgart are beatable at Ibrox but will be a tough task away. Then Barca!! Henry, Messi, Eto, Ronaldinho, Deco etc - they will get a fright coming into the atmosphere at Ibrox but to beat them will be a hellava task. But its great to be involved in this type of games again. 2nd place is reachable IMO but if all 3 opponents turn up and play to there potential then 4th place would be no shame as it we are realistically 4th favourites.

Well done Fraser. This game tomorrow is massive. We HAVE to win it then we can worry about France. I would take 3 pts right now but Im confident we can get a draw in Paris. But lest just get any win here first then we take it from there. Id make one change to your team Fraser. Id put McCulloch where you have Brown, then move Brown in one and drop Hartley. But im actually hoping for Italy to beat France. If we win tomorrow and Italy win, then we get a point off France, we will have a better head to head over 2 games against France where as if it comes down to head to heads against Italy we have lost one already so we would HAVE to beat them at Hampden.

I was at the game mentioned, wasnt the nicest of days in the rain but the result was superb and we had some majik players on show that day
