This. A good SPL player and causes problems with his pace, but he's just not an international class footballer. Not even close. Incidentally, who are the 16 players faster than him? Who's number 1? Must be really fcking fast!

Not having a go here but....... .......are you serious? I can see why you would bring Lasley back in and play Forbes again. Maybe even why Humphrey should drop to the bench. But are you honestly in favour of benching Murphy, our best prospect of causing Rangers problems, and a good outlet when the pressure is on? Really?

Good plan. Except to effect it we would require more than 11 players.

Bad feeling about his one. But then again, I've had a bad feeling about our opening 3 games.....

Is it still on TV?

Shame some of our fans are doing their utmost to f*ck up a fair play place this year. (assuming we don't finish 3rd!)

Good point. Wonder where Sir Alex Ferguson, sorry Alex Ferguson would be if had adopted that attitude?? Said it before but MM had a great first season, dealt very well with the Phil O'Donnell tragedy and brought in Chris Porter. Otherwise he left an absolute shambles behind cos he wasn't the least bit interested in sorting our players with contract extensions as he knew he was going. He then, for some unfathomable reason, seeks credit for selling Clarkson, Quinn etc. Hero to fud in 12 months.

YAASSSS!!! 2-0 Forbes pen

Sheep 1-0 up on Hamilton. Mulgrew.

Hope so! He might have the odd shitty game but think he's a decent player overall. think his experience could be priceless when the young uns have their inevitable rough patch.

BELTER!! Still think its a bit strange he ain't on the bench. Dundee calling??

Is Hammell injured/suspended or just not picked? Strange he's not a sub??

Are they taking the piss?!

Was about to post that about Nish myself. A million miles from being a world beater but a decent SPL striker with a fairly good record against us. With Riordan etc as well I agree that Hibs might have a decent forward line this year. Hope I'm wrong right enough....

Do you mean stokes? Inside info??

BBC Sport now reporting he has signed a 3 year deal. Lets hope he ain't the player Falkirk had a couple of years back - would have liked us to sign him. Lets hope Mr Gannon comes up trumps with our EPL starlet!

Is this not exactly what the Stockport fans who posted on a here a while ago said would happen? Seems to be his way - falls out with some players and back room staff but gets results. Regardless of any problems they seem to think he is an absolute legend and are gutted he left. I live in hope...

Who were the 2 others?

Thats my point exactly. We have been lumped in with the rest of the dross when we really don't deserve it. Think we have lot to be proud of so far.

Exactly. It seems that every club in the SPL, barring maybe shellick, have 'cut their cloth' accordingly. I would be stunned if Boyle had spent Setanta money that we hadn't yet received, given our relatively recent administration. IMHO Boyle has run our club extremely well since we came out of administration (which was only cos he wrote off millions of his own money) and don't think for a second he would put us back in the same position again.

1-1. Score draw against a team of that quality would be a great result and make up for "scotlands week of Shame" (Copyright Daily Record) Anyone else reckon Sigma might make aggregate double figures against the sheep?! Now that would be embarrassing.....

Fair comment. But on this occaision it strikes me as a gamble/risk worth taking? The way I see is that if we buy him, even if for up to £250k, then we get a season or 2 with a quality keeper who we can then sell on for a profit. Makes sense? And besides, Spencer was on silly money on top of the fee and Boyle has apparently been paying Hughes, Malcolm and Porter most of their wages. It all adds up and could, Mr Boyle permitting (!), be a possibility.

Not sure I agree. My understanding is that we will get the same amount of TV money this coming season as we did last? It's only that we woun't be getting a good bit more from the improved setanta deal which was due to start this year? No doubt someone will set me straight if I am wrong... Regardless, with the McGhee/Quinn/Clarkson/Europa league money coming in, and even taking into account the money spent on the pitch, surely we can afford £250K?! Would it not be an investment? If he is as good as everyone says surely we could make a healthy profit a season or 2 down the line. Will be very pissed off if we let him go in 6 months. Same goes for Slane.

Unfortunately I don't think we will have to worry about getting too far in Europe this season... 1 in 3 would do us just fine. As long as its Rangers, Celtic and ...erm ... Aberdeen. Thought your team were a pleasure to watch at times and taught us a bit of lesson. But we won't give up - see you next week!
