  1. Put a sticky in every room for a few days to try and get a bit more. We have about 25 consistant posters who should reply.

  3. Are they not Danish?? And i think there is a Randers FC aswell, arent they Greek or Polish??
  4. Yeah agreed, the bottom 2 in the SPL should go down or at least the 2nd bottom team has play off with Div 1 team. I used to also think the Highland league should have promotion aswell just like the conference in england.
  5. Winner only. Nobody remembers the runner up Are you taking results from PM or email?

  7. Spurs are the latest team to show interest in Gordon.
  8. League Cup - Out at home to Div 1 team St Johnstone. Scottish Cup 3rd round - Out to relegated Dunfermline. Well below average for Rangers
  9. Konchesky would be a steal at 600k. He is a really good LB. He is solid as a rock and gets up and down the left side. He was West Ham regular in the return season to the EPL when West ham finished 9th and on verge of England call up to World Cup last year. Only reason he is being shipped out of West Ham is because he had a fall out with Curbishley when they were both at Charlton over his move to Upton Park, so when Curbs came to West Ham he dropped Konchesky stright away. Id be surprised if a few Premiership clubs didnt come in for him. I like Stevie Smith as a LB and agreed that he should be LB as he came through the ranks, but i woulnt say no to Konchesky.
  10. Yeah agree with this. If Buffel is moving on then we need someone to come in and replace him. I still think Buffel could be a key player for us. Id like to see Sebo stay aswell and be given a chance to justify that price tag - again I think he could do it. He has strength and pace, he just needs to add a goal. Svensson can move on but he will do well in another league somewhere. But Smith seems to have covered the centre half positions well this season but looks like he isnt satisfied and Cuellar and Webster will come in.
  11. Hughes is another player i totally forgot about, he was far too lightweight which was his main downfall. It would be a good move for Gavin Rae. As for Naismith, 1.5 million will trigger a move (its in his contract) with Rangers, Aston Villa and Bristol City (bizarre one) showing interest.
  12. Im kinda glad Gow is playing. He deserves a place ahead of those who decided to take there summer early, just after the OF game. He will give 110% and be trying to impress. I dont know what it is, I havent been a fan of signing SPL players, but he is the only one I have slight hope for who might do us a decent job in the SPL.
  13. After the split its still 1 division regardless - i.e. The SPL. There isnt a SPL 1 or 2 after the split. But agree with Malky, ive also said 4 divisions with 44 clubs is just wrong. There has been a few fairytales with Gretna and Livingston coming through the leagues in recent times but it just shows that the rest (older clubs) will be there for good. Merging teams is one way I think the game would improve. Id start with reducing it to 3 leagues again as it gives teams that extra incentive. SPL should have 16 teams and 14 in the other 2. But traditionalists wont merge, they hate the idea. They would rather see crowds of 243 at a Cowdenbeath v Alloa game than boost this towards the four figures. Between Aberdeen and Dundee there are 4 minor clubs - Montrose, Arbroath, Brechin and Forfar - thats ridiculous having them as Professional clubs. They should all merge and be called Angus Utd. Given time and once pride was out of the way all the tradionalists would realise this was the right move. Why is it that every fan, pundit, player, manager and even the media all over the place can see how bad the Scottish game is but nothing gets done about it and those jokers at the SFA still make a mockery of the game. It needs football men at the top.
  14. During this season we had spells in joint 6th in the league and we have played dreadful football at times. Considering our resources compared to the average clubs we were always going to finish 2nd and the reason for that is we do have 3 or 4 players who make the difference who are above average SPL standard. But If you take those players who make a difference - Weir, Hutton, Ferguson, Hemdani and Prso out that squad and replace them with average SPL players Broadfoot (St Mirren now Gers) Stuart Duff (Dundee Utd) M Sylla (Killie) Gow (Falkirk now Gers) Scott McDonald ('Well now Celtic), do you honestly think we would have finished 2nd and closed the gap on Celtic?
  15. Yeah guys I agree, what i was saying is from next season its a clean slate and we cant say the title is out of reach from the start and we cant be saying Smith needs to steady the ship - that part is complete IMO. Agreed we arent far behind Celtic on the park, thats been proving in the last 2 OF games, best XI v best XI id fancy our chances pretty more often than not.
  16. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wolverhampton_wanderers/6676953.stm Jack Hayward sells Wolves for a tener but only if the new owner pumps 30 million into the club. Thats unheard of this day in age - take a bow Mr Hayward!

    Yeah thats harsh on Hutton BT. Hutton has been consistent all season. He started off very decent but since the turn of the year he has been our best player. Im sure he is allowed 1 bad game, just as long as it is 1.
  18. Im confused by this statment Cal. Of course we have signed average SPL players. What do you call Rae, Broadfoot, Gow, Kenny Miller (1st time), Alan Johnson, Paul Ritchie, Gary Bollan, Alec Cleland, Fraser Wishart to name a few. So how can you say we will NEVER sign average players but then doubt whether its enough to win the league or compete in the CL or not. The proof is in the pudding - we just have to look at the last 2 seasons and the side has been so average its unbelievable. Yes, we are signing the best Falkirk and St Mirren can offer but they are the best of a terribly bad bunch.
  19. ...Or is it. This is a term that has been used for 4 months since Smith came in. It really was what was required aswell as securing a 2nd place finish. But up until the last 2 games of the season the steadying of the ship was done but a bit of complacency sneaked in. If the players learn the lessons of the last 2 games then we can say the ship is steadied. But this term cant be used going into the start of next season. We are now looking for progress. Smith and McCoist will be on a even playing field with Celtic in July/August and 2nd place is not the target anymore.
  20. New record for the quickest manager reign - 10 mins! At least he was unbeaten
  21. Konchesky isnt a bad player!!! Maybe he can take Hayden Mullins with him!
  22. If Langfield signed for us which meant our keepers being him and McGregor we would be aswell watching Cowdenbeath every week. Cant nobody see signings like this is why we havent won a trophy for 2 seasons now. If you buy average SPL players then you become an average SPL team - simple statement. We should be looking at bringing in a top keeper and McGregor should be the back up.
  23. I know, what is it with people thinking Owen is goody 2 shoes (or is it goody tissues - i cant remember ) He is boring and is a robot during interviews as he tries to be Grandpa all the time. You need characters on that program like the late Emlyn Hughes - he was good.
  24. I should get that at 10:30am in the morning then and im off this week
  25. Thats a good shout with Saha going the other way, but Spurs have said Berbatov is staying. Spurs also stated they were going to sign 3 other big players and Defoe was on his way out, but cant remember the 3 We'll see over the summer
