  1. Cheers mate Good to see Ross Perry in the first team. Good in the air & composed on the ground, also decent distribution which is a big plus. Have really high hopes for him.
  2. Why value him at only £4 million!! International class keeper with the best years still ahead of him. EPL teams pay silly money for lesser players and its about time we started playing hardball with them. Minimum negotiating price should start at £6 million. One of the areas we can make decent money so lets do it properly. I value him about 4 million tbh. You obviously don't, which is fair enough. One of the few players we have who could generate a decent transfer fee . We are therfore duty-bound to take advantage of our neighbours vastly over inflated transfer system. Start at £6 million and hope more than one club is interested.

  4. They had a good man as their manager. Certainly did! One of the all-time greats as a player and as manager laid the foundations for our recovery in the early seventies. Total respect.
  5. As Manchester City and Chelsea will testify.
  6. I was there . Pretty sure it was a league game around 80 or 81 Remember one goal was a 30 yard shot into the top corner ( McDonald or Redford) May have been young Kilmarnock goalkeepers first game.
  7. You may be thinking of Motherwell who beat us 5-2 at Ibrox in a scottish cup replay 1/3/61 Pretty sure Iain St John scored for them that day Attendance-90,000.
  8. Spot on We should be concentrating our efforts on promoting the best from the youths rather than constantly looking to former players (Gattuso,Lovenkrands etc) or players nearing the end of their careers looking for one last payday.
  9. nope, i think the support is looking at players leaving, and speculation surrounding bougie, Mcgreger, Miller, Wilson etc and getting frustrated. A wee bit of clarity is needed. Are we a club with ambition? or are we now a club that hopes for the best? The lowering of ambitions in the last 7-8 years has been nothing short of disgraceful but thats what can happen when the owner is prepared to gamble with the clubs future rather than put in place a longer-term ( but not headline grabbing ) plan. Imagine if you will how different things could be if a -We had used the transfer market wisely ie signing talented hungry ambitious players in their early-mid 20s who could raise a decent profit if sold b-A professional scouting network had been put in place employing people with a proven track record in identifying young talent. c -A youth academy who placed technique, skill,flair, pace and modern tactics at the forefront, employing the very best coaches from home and abroad. I apologise for going off topic but our current situation both on and off the park in comparrison with what it could (should) be pisses me off big time.
  10. Classy player on the park. Classy person off the park. Anyone know if he's still involved in our youth set-up ?
  11. It's not a left footed central midfielder we need it's wide players are required. Although I do agree the answer is right under our nose though, in Gregg Wylde. Gregg Wylde came to us from Celtic as a left-winger but has played left-back for the past eigheen months. Would prefer to see him further forward where he could hurt the opposition more. Having said that WS would rather play Lafferty, Naismith or McCulloch wide left than take a chance on Wylde
  12. Why not play Jamie Ness ? Sweet left foot, Can tackle, Would compliment Steven Davis in centre-midfield. Sometimes the answer to the problem is right in front of you. Just need the manager to show some faith and the fans to show some patience.
  13. McGregor Whittaker Weir Webster Wylde McMillan Shinnie Davis Ness Fleck Miller
  14. I think the man in question has been quoted as saying he would " walk back to Glasgow on broken glass" to be Rangers manager. Should have been appointed after PLG was hounded out. 2 peas in a pod me n you mucker the very one one day mate, one day Not with the current regime in charge i'm afraid i know mate, i know, they wouldnt have the balls to hire him thats why i said one day The day he's standing at the top of the marble staircase as our manager is the day i would resume putting money back into the club safe in the knowledge we are in safe hands once again. We can only hope it will happen soon.

  17. Would estimate the attendance to be 30,000-35,000 with at least 85% supporting Man Utd GFITW
  18. From a financial viewpoint selling him at this time is the correct decision but certainly not from a footballing one. maybe, but i would punt him for the right deal, in fact, if i thought we had good enough scouts to find a replacement and a chief exec able to negotiate the contract then i would sell him tmrw, but we dont, so im not sure now, cash in, lose the money to Murray or get fuck all next year for him? dunno m8 If an offer was made for him i don't think we're in position to refuse it. Murray & Bain have by their joint mismanagement made us sitting ducks in the transfer market. they certainly have were still paying Bain 300k a year!! When men like Campbell Ogilvie, Nick Peel & George Adams would prefer to leave our club rather than work with Martin Bain that should tell us everything about his management style. Makes me sick to see us lose men of this calibre due to the actions of one man.

  21. I think Flecky,like myself is disgusted at the way Murray and Bain have treated our club by using it as a personal plaything for their own ego's The financial mismanagement coupled with a severe downsizing in terms of quality shows both a lowering of our ambitions (unacceptable) and the total lack of any long term strategy.
  22. Spot on . I believe it was Hugh Adam who forecast the trouble we would be in if we continued with our spending pattern at the time.
  23. Just hope he will not adopt the short term thinking,apathy to developing youth,refusal to playing young players,and one dimensional european tactics from his mentor.
  24. is that the early 90's when smith had an even worse record in europe 90-91 Red Star Belgrade- 0-3, 1-1 91-92 Sparta Prague- 0-1, 2-1 92-93 Marseilles- 2-2, 1-1, Bruges 1-1, 2-1, CSKA 1-0, 0-0 93-94 levski Sofia- 3-2,1-2 94-95 AEK Athens- 0-2, 0-1. Despite having better defenders back then you'll notice we didn't keep very many clean sheets.
