Gribz

Had 4 homes yesterday - Scotland, Leeds , Leyton Orient and Carlisle - Carlisle cost me!!

Kind of agree with this and I havent been over impressed with any of our performances since Eck took over but he is still getting the results which is the important thing.

Great result for the lads, it would have been wrong it we dropped points on the diving Hearts player. McFaddens goal was cracking, he really should be the first player on the team sheet. He is another who plays better for Scotland than at his club. A draw in Italy with France wasnt the best result, we could have been done with one of them dropping all points but Ukraine drawing in Georgia is a huge boost but reminder it will be tough for us in Tbilisi next month. Now we can turn our intentions to France in midweek. If we could nick a point it would be fantanstic and a draw in Ukraine againt Italy would be the icing on the cake. I think we are capable of getting a draw but we have to flood the midfield. I dont care if its ugly and we just punt the ball away for 90 mins, it would be good to get one up over the french. ________________Gordon____________ __Hutton_____Weir________McManus____Mceveley Brown___Fletcher__Ferguson___Hartley___McCulloch _________________McFadden___________

Yes!!!!! C'mon Scotland. Well done Boydy - proving me wrong again

Had one up so far. Had Giggs on for first goal in Community shield at 12/1. Got a wee bet on today but its lower league shite and internationals so i wont reveal unless i win

Hey I was up about 2 grand last season and I dont bet anymore than 20 quid!! Makes a difference from the junk you told to me to bet when we were on PRW

Anyone had a flutter this season? I was raging last week. Had West ham, Newcastle and a draw with Bolton and Everton - fooking Everton nicked a win in he 91st minute to blow my coupon. The previous week, West Ham drawing with Wigan at home cost me 7 homes for about 300 quid from a fiver!!! Im not betting today with the internationals, there isnt anything i fancy.

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
