The pricks at the SFA wont stop me supporting Scotland

I was upset at Allys attempts to recall him, as the lad was obviously chuffed to be selected, but if Strachan doesnt think he'll feature then he might aswell help us against Alloa.

I see that boy Logan was sent off for 'foul and abusive language'. How convenient for the mhanks. Their PR machine will be in overdrive now to get Tonev off.

Fuck sake Ally. I honestly thought id heard the last of this. So what if he sits on the Scotland bench, the kid was obviously buzzing at the prospect of playing for Scotland and what kinda message does this send out.

So Ally offers Gordon a contract, he says no thanks, knowing hes joining the mhanks. Is he lying so Rangers fans and fans in general dont think he used our facilities and then joined our rivals and keep a nice guy image?. Cant think any other reason. Noone on here wanted him anyway, so pointless story.

He said: "We considered (calling it off), which we have done with previous fixtures, but the board have made the decision that they would like the game to go ahead, which I totally respect. I'm fine with that. "I have always said that the overriding factor would be the welfare of our team and our club. "The board have made a decision to play the game and I look forward to the game. "I know the decision was made with respects to the fan as well but the board have made the decision. "I have got no idea (why the board took its decision). They haven't exactly told me why they've made that decision but i don't have a problem with it." If we cant beat Alloa minus MacLeod, Moshni and Peralta then we have serious problems

The midfield could do with some freshening up, whether it be youth returning or some loan deals. Can see Moshni leaving for League 2 or something.

They should be light years ahead of us but they arent. Just hope Ally is a bit more positive. The players seem more up for this than him. What tactics we imagining?. Id like 4-4-2, but can see this being 4-1-4-1 with Jig a cover.

If anything, this game will provide us with an idea of where we are as a team. If we win, then McCoist will have bought himself a crack at the SPL (providing we get promoted). If we are embarrassed, then it confirms what a lot already think, that we are miles from where we should be.

Watching guys like Carlos, Zidane, Raul and Ronaldo made me lean towarde Madrid more.

We should be demolishing teams like this with the odd bad game or defeat. Under Mccoist its very much the other way around. Im not getting carried away until we start gaining on Hearts. The game against them in November is vital. Any points dropped is unthinkable.

Thats class. I told the wee man that story and he couldnt believe anyone would be crazy enough to do that. Gutted I never got to see him play for us in the flesh.

Uncle and cousin should br up from Corby in time for this. Hopefully the team puts on a decent display.

Ive got a feeling he'll be suited most of time, trying to pass himself of as a decent human being. Wont be long before cracks start to show though. Hopefully he keeps his twitter, always good for a laugh.

Agree with that. Its refreshing to hear genuine crtitism like this coming from the press. The heat is truly on Ally.

They not in the relegation zone?. Good luck to them hahaha. Just biding his time until an EPL job is available.

The bit from his autobiography with Roy Keane always stuck with me. What a sad bitter bastard Keane is.

Fuck, a naughty song and some bad words is all it takes for that these days mate.

So much for rugby being a gentlemans game eh?. If that happened on a football pitch itd be a different story.

The game we won 1-0 at the san giro, mustve been about '97 is still my favourite game. Goram pulled off some cracking saves including a penalty from pierre. His reaction after it was claes too.

Is that the cracks papered over for another week im guessing?. At least Raith dropped points, help us cement that play-off place.

We would accept it if it happened, but I would be embarrassed. Considering the resources and head start weve had on Hearts, we should be winning this league. Not walking it, but winning it.

Just imagine finishing 2nd and entering the SPL with a whimper and our tail between our legs. We should be blasting into the SPL as champions, all guns blazing, ready to take the fight to scumdee etc.

Such a defeatist attitude to take. I love Ally, but drivel like this is so frustrating. Same old soundbites about Walter being criticised while winning everything.
