Perhaps you could summarise for those who do not frequent other fora?

“When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also add that some things are more nearly certain than others” Bertrand Russell (Logician and Philosopher 1872-1970)

DId you download the right version?

Yeah, spotted that when downloading. This is my first post using it!

Oooh, gonna download that just now. I'm addicted to my crackberry and this will only make it worse... :spl:

I'll be working not too far from there but I'm not sure my boss will be too happy to see "Lloyds Group AGM demonstration" on my timesheet

Smith I think is being very cute here. I can't believe he gets fed very little information from the powers that be. Seems to me like he is drawing attention to the uncertainty that surrounds his and the club's future. As for the mechanics of any deal, I'm torn between ascender's "no news is good news" and calscot's pessimism over the apparent lack of leadership from those making the alleged bid(s).

Any commodity is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay at any given moment. It will be interesting to see how he performs next season and whether he moves on to a bigger club. Good luck to the guy.

Thats fine but at Rangers you need to be big enough to step up when the pressure is on. Perhaps Boyd's presence is a hindrance to Lafferty, I hadn't really thought of that before. Either way, we need a Lafferty that scores consistently and shows the right attitude.. If he does that, I'm sure most would be happy to see him on the team sheet.

Terrific achievement when you consider the lack of investment. Arise Sir Walter?

If he adds goals consistently, the critics will diminish. He has delivered at a crucial time of the season which is encouraging, long may it continue.

Keep up the great work. Keep us informed with whatever you are able.

I'll take the Motherwell game.

Undoubtedly O'Brien is one of Motherwell's better players who has the ability to turn an SPL game from time to time. The trouble is, he will be as infuriatingly inconsistent as any other winger. No doubt he will have moments of quality, but he will have plenty of other moments where he poor or just ordinary. The question I guess is one of finance. Methinks he will command a salary which is considerably less than Beasley so you can begin to see why it might make sense. Then, if you factor in that he seems to be turning his back on Ireland and cross the Old Firm divide, he may become a very interesting signing. Of course, it could all be p**h though

His messages were confusing and often contradictory. Taking a recent example of the outcry over the appeals process - Smith was on Radio Scotland (and probably quite a few other media outlets) defending the SFA's stance and somehow suggesting that having an independent review panel was a contravention of FIFA rules - even though it is a common practice in other countries, including England. He also spelled out that the current process was drawn up and agreed in consultation with wider football community in Scotland whilst also hinting that it was dreamt up on the suggestion of the refereeing fraternity. Then, lo-and-behold, within a week or so, the SFA agree to review the process and are likely to borrow the model used in England. I sympathise with him to a degree in that he clearly was working with one hand behind his back. But in hindsight he wasn't the right man for the job and there are big questions over his management and public speaking abilities.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha On a serious note, given the number of minors present and the violent and aggressive manner adopted by several yahoo's... Surely Plod should have been making some arrests, no?

I too thought Smith's appointment was a progressive step and I held out a glimmer of hope that some positive changes were afoot. However, Smith may be an accomplished pundit, but an accomplished Chief Exec, he was not. There have been far too many blunders that have happened on his watch and the Robbie Winters incident may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/football/sfl/2010/04/16/livi-demand-probe-into-sfa-chief-gordon-smith-over-robbie-winters-dive-saga-86908-22189983/

I'm on it!!!

True although I think Little's appearance there was done to Smith changing up and doing something unexpected in a big game.

I hope you are right. He would certainly appear to be the next in line.

I don't particularly get it either. It's just bizarre. I can't work out if it's a pisstake or not.

Not read it. Judging by the headline he's just laying the foundations for some big excuses. Hahaha

From a bheasts message board... WTF??

One word..... Bitter

Don't think that's within the rules but I would piss maself if that happened.. :devil: Thought County were excellent. Thoroughly deserved the win. Played some nice football and took their goals well. Its a pity the chat about the game will be dominated by how poor C**** were, rather than how well County played.
