  1. Havent seen this posted elsewhere but:

    Bad-boy El Hadji Diouf has revealed he’d jump at the chance of a reunion with Sam Allardyce at West Ham.

    Allardyce is understood to be pressing ahead with plans for a cut-price move for the Blackburn striker, much to the anger of Hammers fans.

    Yet Diouf, who helped Rangers to last season’s SPL title while on loan there, admitted last night he’d be bang up for the move to Upton Park.

    “I have finished my loan, so I am expecting to return to England with Blackburn," he said. “I am 30 years old. I want to play week in, week out.”

    Rovers boss Steve Kean has already told Diouf he will struggle to get a game if he stays at the club next season.

    The player added last night: “Working with Sam? That would be a fantastic thing to do. Sam is a fantastic manager and very good man. I would be delighted to work under him again.”

    Rangers are also keen on signing him, but Diouf is prepared to drop down a level to be reunited with Allardyce for a third time after playing for him at Bolton and Blackburn.

  3. Recently its been easier, about 75% of the OF Home games over the last few seasons Ive seen atleast 1 spare. Sometimes a lot more aswell (if we are struggling in the league anyway)

    Hardly see any for the Piggery though, only seen a couple in the league. Saw 1 for the last game last season. Its easier if we are not doing too well though or if its in the cup

  4. How much is it costing to hire the Clyde Auditorium at the SECC?

    How much would it cost to use Ibrox?

    In these financially austere times, isn't the cost relevant? :sherlock:

    PS. How hot does it get in the SECC?

    PPS. Can I complain about the heat if it's too hot?

    :sherlock:

    Thats what I thought too but electricity for the day, extra staff being there, concourse staff to be there etc so Ibrox wont be too cheap to have the AGM at either? Id assume the Clyde Auditorium is cheaper or very similar to the cost of having it at Ibrox, Im sure they would think about that

  5. Article is on the ET site: http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/editor-s-picks/spl-supremo-will-consider-terrace-return-1.1054033

    SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster revealed he is “open-minded” about the prospect of reintroducing terracing to Scotland’s top-flight grounds.

    Doncaster is midway through a strategic review of all aspects of the Scottish game, with his wide-ranging proposals set to be put to the 12 SPL clubs before the end of the year.

    The move to all-seater stadia came as a result of recommendations made in the Taylor Report, published after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 when 96 people lost their lives.

    It was implemented in the Premier League in Scotland in 1994 and adopted by the SPL following its inception in 1998.

    There has been a growing movement seeking the reintroduction of designated standing areas inside Scottish stadia, in the belief that a return to terracing would improve the often sterile atmosphere at matches.

    Doncaster warned such a change may prove difficult to implement, but vowed to consider everything as he looks to find ways to improve the overall matchday experience for supporters.

    “I’m open-minded about it,” he said as he launched the first SPL Family Weekend that will see a range of family activities taking place at games on September 18 and 19.

    “I appreciate the logistical difficulties involved, having gone to all-seater stadia. It is a more fraught area in the UK, given our history and how we’ve built our stadia, than it is elsewhere in Europe.

    “Generally these things are driven by supporter demand and it’s possible there could be sufficient demand to justify looking at it, although there are no plans to do so at the moment.”

    The retention of standing terraces is one of the reasons the Bundesliga has enjoyed record attendances in recent seasons and Doncaster is keen to learn from the Germans.

    “I’ve been over there and spoken to the Bundesliga,” he said.

    “I’ve learned about how they conducted their review in 2000, the changes put in place, and the way they make sure youth development actually happens.

    “If you look at the German system now, what you will see is a very close relationship between their equivalent of the SPL and the SFA, a huge investment in youth development, a real emphasis on coach education, and colt teams at under-23 level participating in lower leagues.

    “It is all about ensuring that the next crop of German players comes through the system. And it works. It’s important we don’t waste this once-in-a-generation opportunity to do things better.”

  6. I remember him getting an injury, but I remember him being pish before the injury aswell.

    I don't agree him and Hemdani ran the show against Lyon. Cousin, Weir and Ferguson, for me. It's about opinions though.

    Capucho was a right winger, not left.

    Agree to Disagree and all that

    He was mostly a right winger but Im sure he featured on the left for us in a few games.

  7. Sionko was pish, had 1 good game against Motherwell then fucked off into obscurity.

    Beasley is another player who's all of a sudden became better now he's away. I knew it would happen.

    Probably is a little harsh on Beasley (I said that in my first post) but can someone think of a worse left winger?

    Think injury marred his time with us, not sure if people think hes worse than he actually was because PLG signed him but he played well at times in a difficult position.

    Ive always thought Beasley was a good player and have defended him whilst he was playing aswell. Him and Hemdani ran the show against Lyon away, best away performance Ive ever seen and been at. He was a quality player at times. Unfortunately with injuries and the way the SPL teams are set up and play he wasnt able to hit true consistency.

    Namouchi who was often played on the wings was much worse. Capucho aswell was played on the left and he was worse.

    Edit - Rothen aswell, just seen the post above, he was worse aswell. Weve not had a decent left winger in years

  8. Goram

    Hutton - Gough - Cuellar - Numan

    McCann - Arteta/De Boer - Gascoigne - Laudrup

    Mols - McCoist

    ???

    Ross - Konterman - ??? - Bernard

    Namouchi - Faye - Mladenovic - Capucho

    Jeffers - Ostenstad

    Sebo just missing out on a starting place

    Struggling with a couple of positions in the Worst 11 but how can some people have Sionko and Beasley in their Worst 11? Sionko was actually pretty good at the start. First game against Motherwell away he looked quality. Faded away when we were doing poorly and remained in the Czech squad, nowhere near one of our worst players. Beasley aswell had moments of brilliance, Lyon away for one. He always shone in CL games, SPL he didnt play too great but still played well at times, December last season when he was given a good run.

  9. 1. A good season would be winning the Premiership, they wont though. CL Semi finalists Id guess

    2. Champions and Last 16. Would take Champions and Europa League though.

    3. Davis if we can get him on the ball enough. Weiss for his movement and runs.

    4. Jelavic but he wont be playing so I'd say Weiss.

    5. Probably an on form Nani or an on form Rooney.

    6. Probably Lafferty, hopefully he does a job for us this season.

    7. 3-0 loss at Old Trafford. 2-0 loss at Ibrox. :(. If we get a goal Id be happy

    8. One of the best at the moment.

    9. Not bothered by United fans, seem to make a noise away from home and a large section of armchair fans.

    10. Nani or Bebe :D, nah Nani

  10. It was a case of the journey being better than the destination for me. Manchester was quite a let down, the game, the trip etc. I went to all the Euro Aways that season and they were all superb. Best game Ive ever been to had to be Fiorentina, dont think that will ever be beaten for me anyway unless we can win one of the European trophies. Manchester came straight after this game and it wasnt going to live up to that. We stayed at Blackpool and the train to get to Manchester took ages then the amount of people there was something else. After the game though it took us ages going from place to place for a way to get back to Blackpool. Getting chased and barged by the police etc added to the result made it a pretty rubbish trip :(.
