So despite finishing second (I'm going out on a limb!!) McCall's to cut the budget yet again, it would appear. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/spl/mccall-is-told-to-cut-his-budget-yet-again-123075n.20969312 How desperate would things have been if we had finished 11th if this what happens in a fairly successful season?

Totally agree with this statement, and fingers crossed they don't make an exception to their rule

Ta muchly for this, I'll get onto it

Anyone know if the ticket office is open tomorrow morning? Need a Cooper ticket but can't get there today

Hopefully the compensation agreement in McCall's new contract is substantial!!

How does this work then, Gers can't sign anyone until 1st Sept & most contracts end at the end of May, so are players expected to sit around for 3 months just cos the, once, mighty Gers have come calling all players are going to get wet & hang about for them! I really hate the fact that the media still think all players want to play for either half of the Old Firm & if they're out of contract that's where they'll end up

Might be ghoulish or simply insensitive, but time waits for no man and all that, who from the Dunfermline players would be worth a contract at the 'Ark? Just noticed that Gallacher gas been freed and with Randy probably offski I think he could be worth a shout, even just as back up to Hollis

Hopefully now that it looks like the manager's about to sign a new deal, some of the out of contract guys might decide to stay put as well. Randolph has already suggested playing week in, week out is preferable to big pay day & sitting on a bench.

Can't see a queue of clubs lining up to take him after his 'starring' role at Sunderland, imo. He's hardly played any time & the wee bits I've seen he's not shone. Still feel he needs to play at a lower level to regain his match fitness before moving forward again. Why not a short term deal at the 'Ark to do it

Rule was changed a few years ago. You are allowed to move on the line, side to side, provided you don't encroach the taker. Definitely helps the keeper IMO

So would the pre-contract compensate players who wouldn't earn any wages from end of May until the beginning of September since no one can sign for Sevco until then? Either the MSM are trying to appease the mass ranks of thick h**s or the transfer embargo has no weight at all.

I'd be gutted if this is where he ends up!! http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/rangers/exclusive-spl-striker-keen-on-switch-to-rangers-108148n.19506336

Same situation with Stevie Thompson if St Mirren, incident in front of the Cooper Stand & it wasn't shown on the highlights package, and guess what, he's another media darling!! Mentioned before, all we look for is consistency, not favours

As much as it infuriates me at times, I know that that's exactly why our players make wrong decisions. Doesn't soften the blow any tho

See the 2nd goal today, why, oh why, couldn't the Humph do that when we had played Levante, rather than toe-poke a back pass to the goalie!

Does the SFA/ SPL etc take notice of club's own TV coverage? It was strange that the Sportscene 'coverage' showed footage from behind the goal for a Randolph save but didn't deem it suitable to show anything about what may or not have happened between the 2 of them. Here's a controversial thought, anything at all to do with Thompson being their flavour of the month?

I'll be honest, Higgy was unable to knock balls to Henrik or anyone else, but he can't make passes if he can't get decent service. If we are going to play route 1 football then the players providing the initial passes, ie full backs or centre halves, need to be pinpoint in their passing. On Thursday night I don't recall too many accurate passes. Too often it was hit & hopes. All that does is allow fans on here to come to the conclusion that it's all Higgy fault

Heard Stuart Cosgrove on Saturday say that Sandaza was offered £1300 a week to resign for St J for this season only to sign for Sevco for £13000 a week. Seriously silly, stupid money

I've had a frantic text fm Tenerife asking if tonight's game is being broadcast anywhere, any help would be appreciated!

Heard that this morning too & totally agree. Stuart McCall works for us now, his loyalties are to us & his 'default' comments adds yet more weight to the argument that we lie down to Rangers because of who our manager is. We haven't cheated to finish where we are, please remember who pays the wages Mr McCall

as was posted earlier, can't see him being any more than a squad player at fhw. I understand the money argument but...

Tough call tonight, defence was immense but in the end I went for Murphy. What a shift he put in. Also spied this description of him on the bbc The white-hot forward took one touch after good work from Humphrey and his shot flew past the helpless Lindegaard for his third goal in Europe this season and seventh overall. Who was the last well player to be described as white hot?? Magic

A wonderful result tonight tho the start of the 2nd half was tough going. However all is forgiven. I'd also like to shaun hutchison too. Showed his class by clambering up to see the old guy.

Paw Broon's interview in the herald sounded a tad pessimistic. And I'd agree with the earlier post by Findlay that if its not looking clever at the start of the season I could see Broon walk away. Hope I'm wrong tho

Was up earlier, saw granpa broon up to oversee things! Was that Fraser in goals for us??
