Agreed and Robertson before him was always flying down the left. Robertson was underrated and should of got much more Scotland caps. Ive only saw Stevie Smith a few times but he has impressed me on every occassion, more so than Ian Murray who also impressed at the start of last season.

Agreed Danny, i wasnt happy about paying 3.5 million for someone i havent really saw play. And saying he is behind Allback puts it into perspective. There must be more options out there who would also be cheaper.

Yeah im happy its all signed and sealed. As PLG says he will give us great balance in midfield something we havent had in years.

They have a better right sided midfielder in Solano anyway.

Yeah agree with all that Juff and no more so than Cannavaro being player of the tournament. When teams like Togo, Japan etc are in a tournament we're never going to get classics, its only when the big boys come up against each other its good. Thats why ive always thought the Euro's are better than the WC. I honestly dont mind who wins so will just enjoy the final. I quite like the Italians but would also like to see Zidane go out on a high. I wonder what the odds are for him receiving a red card in the final!!!

Earliest and best WC i remember is 86 and Scotland playing Uruguay when one of there players got red carded after about 10 seconds!! At the start of the tournament i said i cant write of France, any team with Thuram, Makelele, Vieira, Zidane and Henry had to be in with a slight chance. Italy have been impressive in patches and as Gav says there win over Germany was joint game of the tournament with Argentina v Serbia - that was the best display ive ever seen at this level. Its very tough to call. Im afraid i cant see a classic as both teams will be cautious and can see a repeat of the 1990 boring final when W Germany won it with a pen. Im going to sit on the fence and say a draw after 90 mins and aet and it will go to pens. BTW IMO the best team in the tournament was Argentina, they were unlucky and shouldnt of subbed Riquelme against Germany or they might be in the final tonight.

Juve certainly look like they are in the shit if their lawyer is even saying a suitable charge is relegation. I still have a feeling something will go wrong and injustice will prevail once again. Im not sure what but the most i can see Juve getting is a heafty fine, 6 pts deduction for next season.

Agreed, its pure a common sense answer - some can make it, some cant. Id love to be going back to Ibrox regularly again just now but its absolutely impossible. Even when i stayed in UK a 3 hour train journey (each way) plus expenses for the day took its tole on the pocket over a season and meant the amount of games i could go to was restricted. And then there is the fact we could be going to watch 90 mins of dire against Livingston for 22 quid. If TV companies what to charge what they are charging just now then so be it, if those who go to games dont like the fact its cheaper then either stop going to games and watch it at home or accept it. The other point is people want to watch football in general. Im a huge fan of the EPL so rightly am a arm chair fan of this as going to the EPL every week would be pretty difficult.

Cheers Frankie, interesting! Only Letizi making his debut! Whats interesting is we probably wont look nothing like that when the season starts. Sionko, Svensson, Clement, Ferguson, Prso and possibly Elmander would be starters.

Where do Newcastle get all the money? 17 million for Owen who is on 102k a week and now they want Beckham for 120k a week. They are after Anelka aswell. Crazy money.

He did ok at Leicester but was a waste at Liverpool. He has never impressed me at all.

Anyone got a list of the starting lineup and how we set out (i.e. 4-3-3)? The only link working for me on page 1 is the Buffel goal which he took well. I really hope Buffel goes on to be our star man next season coz i think he has loads of potential. I dont think ive looked forward to the start of a new season this much in years. Danny, during the season the Rangers game threads get pretty big.

Agreed Juffery, with Vogts away and Smith, Burns and McCoist in charge i fancy us to win the big games at Hampden. As for away from home we need repeats of the last trips to Italy and Norway where we were superb. France and Italy are going to take points off each other and Ukraine arent anything special they are just "tough". We need to hit the ground running. You can add McFadden to our team aswell.

Aye out of the coles he is the worst, however its competition for places

I tried to post that a few weeks ago but couldnt post acrobat reader, i have a few more pics than that!! still well funny tho!

Aye but il get you into them :thup

I was just on the phone to my office in aberdeen and left mourinho on the screen and pissed myself laughin

You feeling fucked off with this place is your decision, Eck had his shelf life...... No ban should even be considered here as there has been no direct personal abuse. I dont care if you call me a highland scotty - i find that amusing!! I dont have a personal problem with you at all, i Pm'd you and said if we lost you as a poster the forum would be a loss. YOu take things too personally Cammy!! I disagree with you on England but agree with you on other things. Your long post the other day on Gers talk was probably you best post of all time!!!! I was going to contribute to it but just havent had time yet!!

Highland Scotty!! LMAO! not bad!! How long will this tantram last? If you "read" again you might find Calscot never called you ignorant but said anyone who claims bla bla bla to be ignorant. He didnt state Cammy is ignornant!!

How do you make them bigger??

Must admit, i like the new colours etc To start with i liked the old forum layout but prefer this now.

You should get Gazza ate!!!

And people wonder why we dont get behind England when we are not in a tournament???!!! Complete hammicks like this are the reason!!!!!

Former national boss Graham Taylor fears England may never win the World Cup again and may plummet like Scotland because of the high number of foreign players in the Premiership. (Mirror) Listen to this bellend!!! "plummet like Scotland" - away you go you arrogant tosspot. Do we have Terry, Rio, Gerrard and Rooney!!! No - we are an average side and we know it and we admit we'll never be world beaters! Unlike you fuckin lot! Oh Flower of Scotland.............
