  1. Was very much on the side of Barry when the story broke.

    In hindsight Barry was very much in the wrong but the dismissal of Le Guen benefited our football club.

    We brought in Walter got to a European Final the next season, won eight trophies in the next four seasons and made ourselves the dominant team domestically.

    Barry was wrong but it was a very good thing that Le Guen went in my opinion (tu)

  2. Our wage budget and spending and the choice of players we bought in last summer has not been great.

    Having said that QOS don't have ambitions to be challenging for a top flight title in a couple of years nor did they have to quickly assemble a squad in a few years work last summer essentially from scratch.

    We could have won this division spending a lot less money that much is certain but considering our ambitions the fact our spending dwarfs QOS's significantly is not surprising (tu)

  3. McCall should not be our next manager, he didn't do brilliantly at Bradford and doesn't have the pedigree.

    In any event McCoist should get to the end of the season. If we win the Scottish Cup this will have been a successful season.

    If he fails to win it then I probably will be one asking for a change of gaffer but I don't think McCall is the right man for the job (tu)

  4. If we do not win the Scottish Cup then this season will rightly be regarded as a failure.

    In his first year in charge Ally shouldn't be held responsible due to administration.

    In his second year in charge our failures in the cups can be mitigated by the summer as we had no real chance to scout and had to assemble a squad ASAP.

    This time there are no excuses. He got to sign the players he wanted and in this cup we competed against teams we are far superior than there are no excuses for not winning it.

    Unlike others I will not revoke my support for him just yet but he has to deliver in the Scottish Cup to retain my support (tu)

  5. The highest points in any league is 106 by reading in the championship.

    We can achieve 110 if we win all our remaining games lets do it rangers!

    The most we can get is 104 and the highest we could have got before the season started was 108 (tu)

  6. Daly is only on a two year contract so his deal runs out in 2015 so I couldn't imagine Daly / Boyd being our long term strikeforce.

    Boyd has scored a lot of goals for us but also now for struggling Killie in the top flight so I think he'd be a good addition.

    He's proven he has the ability to be part of a title winning squad and to contribute meaningfully to it so he could also do a job for us in the top flight (tu)

  7. It's tomorrow.

    It's a must win game for Barca, a draw suits Real as it keeps them in the driving seat ahead of Barca / At. Madrid in the run in.

    I think it'll be 2-1 Real, Barca have been poor away from home in the league recently (tu)
