  1. Was always bound to happen.  Anything that brings in extra revenue can't be a bad thing and it doesn't look too bad at the bottom of the kits.  They have similar deals with Sheffield United and Sunderland.

    No sponsors etc sounds good and well but we'll never be in that position in the modern game.  Ideally separate sponsorship deals for training kits would be perfect but that's not going to be an option in the Scottish game.

  2. It's funny but if this had happened with McCoist in charge the forum would have went into meltdown about youth not getting a chance. I'm sure Warburton has given him as good a shot as anyone and hasn't fancied him for the future.

    All the best to him, obviously after Friday night of course!

  3. I always like the all blue as it looked different. I've always been a bit take it or leave it with the socks but I think that's to do with my first kits being the Umbro top with the checkerboard design and blue socks and then the Admiral follow up having the same socks.

  4. Italian bankruptcy law seems a lot more fluid than over here, football clubs fold and reform very frequently. Normally the name is slightly different but the history transfers over pretty seamlessly.

    Parma have been through this already. This one might be harder for them to bounce back from. One thing I've never understood about Parma is the fact they must have the biggest playing squad in Europe. It's mental the amount of players they have out on loan at other clubs.

  5. Absolutely sickening. Could have played all day without winning that game and the lack of urgency in the last 10-15 minutes was disgusting. Team seem to have accepted slipping into mediocrity and McDowell is clueless. Nade looked like a world beater at times against McCulloch and looks like he'll only be dropped in the event of him retiring.

    I could write so much more about how sick I am of every one of them but if they can't be arsed to go out and look like a team then why should I waste the time on them?

  6. McCoist the player will always be a legend in my eyes but his behaviour as a manager is ridiculous. Players barely look like they can be arsed at the best of times never mind knowing they're playing for someone just playing out time until he disappears back to the TV.

    Genuinely fed up with the whole thing now.

  7. That is ridiculous. On paper it was already looking like a very poor card but to lose its main event the day before the fight is unreal. Barao has always found the weight cut tough from stuff I've read and was waiting for Aldo to eventually move up a weight to allow him to fight at 145.

  8. Why?

    Jones has done his knee in. Torn meniscus apparently.

    Gustaffson is naturally a bit pissed off that he lost the original fight due to injury and now that its been rescheduled it'll still go ahead as DC vs Jones leaving him in a position where he'll probably need to take another fight to keep his ranking. Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Rumble, would be a war.

  9. I was always disappointed when the football philosophy paper was floating about and McCoist came out and just dismissed it as rubbish. There was a lot in the report that was pie in the sky kind of stuff but there was a lot of common sense there and stuff that we're crying out for nowadays.

    Quite why we never went for youth I'll never know because regardless of age if you're training on a full time basis you should be more than capable of turning over postmen and brickies who train a few nights a week.

    Crazy money has been spent just to reach the championship and it looks like no lessons have been learnt.
