buster.

She'd chew through a mouldmaster !

He's in possesssion of the jersey and deserves to play. Harsh on Holt but I like the premise, which is often talked about but practised less.

Lewis Morgan may come into the same equation next season. They seem to 'collect' these type of players but bring in Mussonda on big money for the same position. Why not loan a talented No.10 to every team in the top tier except Rangers ?....'sporting integrity' - No Scott Allan and Dundee don't beat Rangers in December. -------------- Craig made the point that you could insist that players were made avaialable against their parent club but that may be difficult to enforce.

Quickly changing subject...........

Any snow queries....... St.Johnstone SLO, Beverley Mayer. Can't help but think of

That'd be another way of doing it, yes ! Back in the day I'm sure we had a player on loan at Inverness who played against us at Ibrox, Bajram Fetai IIRC ------------ Whilst here, Ryan Hardie, the loan Ranger at Livingston made SPFL Team of the Week.

It's a bluff,...... keep it to yourself though.

I remember Saturday mornings at Primary school football matches and the sore heid from mistiming headers around the half way line from the goalies kick-out with those mitres.

Time for the...........

Aspects of his game may have been better but overall, he doesn't even come close IMO.

Better now than 8pm

I'd agree with much of that. We have to take responsibility for our results against other teams and not point towards things that comes down to making excuses. The way celtic loan players to other various top tier sides is something that strikes me as something that amounts to an 'unfair advantage'. Whether it be Ajer/Kilmarnock, Allen/Dundee/Hibs, Christie/Aberdeen or whoever.......it means those teams are stronger when they play all other teams except Celtic and it also means forced changes for that opposition going into the game against Celtic. The same happened with O'Hallaron at St.Johnstone ealier this season, so it's not just Celtic who have done it, although they are by far the biggest benficiaries. I think the rule should be changed and teams shouldn't be able to loan players to teams in the same division.

Good post DMAA You look at Aberdeen and you think if we get our act together then surely we can do that. We know we can get results in bigger games, although we really need to beat Celtic soon to get that monkey off our backs. Now is the time.

Tonight we go for a 4th consectutive league win, for the second time this season. It's not easy, the sheep are the only other club to have got 4IAR league wins this season.

Whilst there is an argument to be had regards such a balance, I think continuity and winning make the answer easy. I'd say that subs could get more minutes in certain situations and cup games against lower league teams is where to experiment, slightly.

If a settled team keep winning then I don't mind predictability.

The refs get paid more for officiating at a match than a fair few of the top tier footballers in Scotland do for playing in it.

Better to leave such experiments for the Falkirk game IMO.

If we want him come the summer then we'll have to register an interest/make a bid. At which point, unless Martin Bain joins them, QPR will be fully aware that they are in the box seat come any negoitations regardless of what GM may say at this point. If the lad plays first team football, does well and feels wanted he may help our case.

I'll join you with that helping of humble pie. He's played 4 games of a full 90 minutes for us, the first four of his professional career.

Depends how you see it. Maybe he wants the player to feel wanted. Besides, as a manager you definately prioritise the present, especially if you might be gone come the summer. Getting a good few positive months out of a loan player would be a better than average return and a start.

Williams did report with some detail and critically of SDI/Mr.MASH involvement back in the day so for me this is to a degree, consistenty and a newspaper meeting audience demand/commercial motive. The reason I flagged it up was more his timing. .
