fantastic lady andy.

If you've got satellite tv it's on BBC London at 10:30 mate.

We will never forget.

We sold him to Real Sociedad who then sold him onto Everton. If anybody would get money from a sell on clause it would be them, not us. I knew that!

I wonder if we included a sell-on clause in the deal that took him to Everton? Might be a nice little wind-fall for us.

Stonewaller!

Great news. Best of luck for the future Oz.

Smashing wee story Coop. Cheers mate. :beer2:

He was a good footballer, not quite as good as his old Dad here but he could kick a ball about. So he'd be ideal compared to some. The dressing room would certainly be lively.

I swear it, if Radioactiveman is on the coaching staff then my season ticket is going back!!! I'd watch your mouth, he'll shove a Twix up your ass.

I've was lucky enough to get a tour of Murray Park and it's a pretty impressive set-up in terms of the facilities it offers. I don't know much about our scouting or youth development "systems" as such, but certainly in terms of the on-site facilities it's all there. As for whether its a training or youth development facility, the answer is definitely both. The facilities are designed to cater for the first team squad's every need in terms of their preparation & recovery AND to give our youngsters the best environment in which to develop. Both are said to be equally important to the Club. It's an interesting approach they have to combining those two objectives, one that was apparently insisted upon by Dick Advocate at the design stage and copied from the Ajax system. There are areas of Murray Park that are used exclusively by the first team squad (e.g. certain training areas, players restaurant & lounge etc.) These areas are purposely high-spec and deliberately positioned within full view of the youth facilities, the idea being that the youngsters will see the first team squad every day and aspire to progress to their level. An example of this is the changing complex, where there is a single corridor running from one end of the building to the other. At one end is the youngest youth team dressing-room, the next age-group up is the next door up and so on, right up to the first-team dressing-room at the top of corridor. Again, the idea is that the youngsters will see the first team as their ultimate goal and they'll work hard to progress year on year up the corridor until they reach the first-team dressing-room. I'm no expert and I've really nothing to compare it against, but it looked to me like our players (old and young) are certainly very well provided for.

Boruc isn't my favourite person, but that's not why I picked McGregor. I honestley don't think there is much between them and they have both been really suspect this season. Boruc looks out of condition and a bit uninterested to me. At least AM is in good shape and wants to be at the club. Hopefully his good form from last season will return.

I know who we are FFS!

Looking at it objectively and without letting your heart rule your head, if you were picking an Old Firm select team from the current first team squads, who would you pick? The challenge is to pick a starting eleven and seven subs that could go out and win a game (the subs must provide cover in all areas of the park). To make it a bit harder, don't just pick the best player in each position. Pick a team and a formation that would be well balanced and could play together. Here's my stab at it..... --------------------McGregor------------------ Broadfoot----McManus----Bougherra----Papac -------------------Thomson------------------- -------Ferguson--------------Brown---------- Mendez------------------------------------McGeady --------------------Miller---------------------------- Subs Boruc Caldwell Whittaker Davis Boyd JVH Maloney
