Up to 4 Feb latest. There's rugger on at Murrayfield 5th.

All together now.......

Canny wait!!

Canny believe that mob are greeting about this. Short memories, tainted title springs to mind. Sky won't budge and will hopefully hold the SPFL to their agreement. No crowds, as mentioned on a previous post could rollover to 6,9, 12 weeks.

£4 is good for Chicken Tikka Masala. Assume it's not in pie format and includes a peshwari and a side of spiced onions? Worth the admission fee alone.

Huge improvement too since we ditched the keeper rotation. McGregor back to top form. Reckon he was severely pissed with one game on, one off....

Ok, an unqualified statement. I'm pretty sure if there was such a chart he'd be up there.

Coincidentally tops the failed assists chart too, by a country mile. Any full back/wing back playing in our system will have top assist numbers in SPL all day long.

Nor enter the stadium with freshwater aquarium fishes.

Comments on this post so far say it all. In years gone by we'd have no problem offering half a dozen candidates, on any one season. Think of all the great Rangers who had a presence at the club but were never club captain in the past. Currently, with anticipated number of appearances due to age and injury record I'm drawing a blank. Strange times indeed. As a previous poster said, we should have 11 captains on the pitch.

Agree. It's become very simple for most teams in the SPL to sit in against Plan A. We should have a B and C up our sleeve surely?

Hopefully not. Whole squad should be called into Auchenhowie for a double shift and addressed collectively and individually too. Yesterday's fiasco gives me real cause for concern. Last week, the big plus for Gio was the fact that he was walking into a settled squad, no need for an extensive rebuild. The goal posts moved on that one yesterday. I could sit here typing all day but would on a whole, simply be regurgitating what's been said in the past 12 hours, most of which was justified. This is a time for strong man management. Identify who's no longer fit for purpose, but equally, recognise what can be salvaged from SG squad. My one fear is that Patterson's already made his mind up, hence the lack of game time over the past while. I may be wrong on that one of course.

just looked out my kit from 2000 cup final, still in great nick..

Checked Roy out, what a stunning name. Rudolphus Antonius "Roy" Makaay

Agree. They Gnu!

Takes me back this chat. We were average at best for the first part of the 80's, on paper decent squads, but with a strong challenge from Aberdeen and Dundee Utd, we were regularly finishing outside the top three. I'd talk myself out of going to our home games only to inevitably jump in the car at 2.35 and be parked up in the John Lawrence car park a couple of minutes before kick off. Never a queue, pay at the gate, and wander from West to East enclosure. We improved 85/86 and the following season I bought my first season ticket, 25 minutes from couch to enclosure no longer possible. I was skint back then, I remember paying for my season ticket with a Style card for a few years. Road to financial ruin for a while....

Aye. If Mcginn can get a game, I'd hope that we reckon some of our team are at least level pegging. Kent would get in most bottom half teams. It will no doubt come down to what positions Villa need to enhance, and their budget.

That's Mcinnes. Rule out anyone with a beard anyway.

Pillager.

Any shouts for Shelley Kerr?

Christ, forgot all about him, he's usually quoted. Please no.

No, I get all of what you're saying, 100%. Whether he was considered for Newcastle or not, only two weeks ago he seemed very quick to shoot the notion that he'd leave just now, down. I have no qualms about any manager or player moving on, it happens, just seems to be a shift in his outlook rather suddenly, irrespective of where he'd leave for.

I agree, something's not quite right here. Two weeks ago he nailed his colours to the mast. We are in all cup competitions and top of the league. We win the league this season and SG walks away in May, £40 million delivered to the club, job done, back where we belong, finishing his project and leaving with kudos. So what's happened for him to bite at the Villa job. He must know what potential consequences lie ahead for us to lose our management team at this stage of this season. I thought he appeared quite brazen when spotted yesterday, almost as if he has something up his sleeve as to why he's bailing out just now. Interesting day ahead.

Aye, and Yoko Ono too. Imagine.

Spot on. WE need someone with a knowledge of this league, for this season certainly. McInnes may be one of the few that have been mentioned happy to take the role as he's nothing to lose. He may see this as an opportunity to prove many wrong. Too much of a gamble for all parties to look at Davidson, Neilson for what could be no more than a 7 month shift.
