Devil's advocaat

He's currently auditioning for a remake of the Goonies, the similarities between him Sloth are quite incredible. Sloth does speak a little more eloquently of course.

I have to say think the club have managed what looked like a very difficault situation exceptionally well, taken their time while a feeding frenzy of rumour and speculation was growing, issuing short, concise statements, and moving on. It's yet another sign of how much we've changed as a club over the past wee while, for the better, instead of what we had for years with everything in the public domian and mismanagement commonplace. Well done to the board and management team.

Arsenal next for me ??

Aye, brilliant. Stevie G standing by his players, the way it should be. ??

A 'well informed' idiot at work was telling anyone who listened yesterday that Martinez and Maloney will be in place after the summer. Made me smile.

We are all Keith Lemon.

JJ did more for us in Europe than Negri ever did IMHO.

Is this players who played for us in europe, or european players who played for us (I think not with the inclusion of Moore and Reyna, but then Negri wasn't here long enough to have a big impact in european games) Prso scored a few in europe, but his play was measured in a lot more than his goals. Klos over Niemi every time.

Predictions due to probability require to be taken across as broad a data field as practical, so points per game is a better data form rather than visits to individual grounds, But aye, we've no really done well there, granted!.

That can only be based on the tea leaves, or the thoughts of a born pessimist! ?

Wouldn't be many folk left at any place I've ever worked, defence, aviation or pharma, if this was the case.

Jordan Jones is an idiot, always has been, we took a punt on him and it predictably didn't work out, we owe him nothing (that's not to say we owe these other boys anything). From folk at Killie that know him, first thing he did when signing with us was selling his car, as he couldn't trust himself to head back down to NE England to go on the razz with his pals after games. It would be foolish in the extreme to punt these boys, by holding our self to some higher moral standard than any other club.

There is no bubble, very few sports have bubbles, F1 and a few others, the players return home to their families after training, football only has an exception for training games and competitive games. At all other times, even at training and in dressing room, they have to comply with the same workplace distancing that the rest of us do.

He was clearly heard to say the words 'would of' last night. A sacking offence.

Entonox Bill, a tad cheaper and easier to self administer. ?

Uilleam, good article, thanks for that. Sounds horrific, I don't think any of us who have been fortunate enough not to suffer from mental illness can ever really understand how it affects those who sadly have. In such circumstances I'll avoid passing my opinion, as it's irrelevant, about as much use as my opinion on cricket, inner city race issues or the constitution of Ecuador.

I don't think we should use this as a vehicle to get rid of anyone as the rheptiles did with bolingoli, if he's not good enough, punt him for that, not because he's been stupid. A certain Geordie would never have had a career at Ibrox if we'd got shot any time he did something stupid, and many others like him. I agree with you regarding the youngsters, punish and see if they learn from their mistake. Young Nathan's family don't come out of this well, claiming he was at home when he clearly wasn't.

I've no idea. It may be that he lives in the same authority as them, stood at their garden gate, met and went a walk with them, none of that is against the rules. The fact it was him that brought it up, I assumed he was trying to get those questions asked, but then maybe not, he's no the sharpest.

There is no elite bubble Craig, elite sports merely has an exemption when across the line, whether in training, or in a game. At any other time, it's the same rules as us plebs, no bubble.

Daft young boys chasing their nat king? Twas ever thus.

Yep, that's how they work. Somehow despite the question being given short shrift, this is now the top story on BBC Scotland news page.

Aye, she swatted that stupid question away, BBC continue to be an utter embarrassment.

Aye, BBC report almost suggesting that the players in question should have to leave the club as per Jones and big George. Apart from the beggars binning Bolingoli (because he was shite) this hasnt exactly been the norm elsewhere.

Aye, rumours are Bassey, paterson and 3 youths. Not the most intelligent decision, SG will be fizzing.

I agree Bill, to be honest, I'm not really that interested in reading about transfer speculation*, although I admit I'm in the minority. The EPL fans in particular seem to have transfers and the window as their main interest. I'd far rather read in depth analysis of matches, formations, playing styles, but that seems to be beyond the average UK journalist and indeed pundit too. *Yes, I see the irony of posting that on a transfer rumours thread, but it's Rangers!
