  1. I digress but this reminds of a story of all those years ago. I had just been demobbed from the Army before starting work. An Uncle at the time had a decorating business and a contract for Fir Park. I went along, this uncle did not appreciate Hunter and said so in front of Ancell. He replied that the problem Hunter had was like a good snooker player, he was three moves ahead of every body else in the team. This reply had a few expletives added in and boy could Ancell swear. At the time I had not even heard that amount of swear words in one sentence in the Army.
  2. As i've mentioned before I can go back to early 1950's, most of my top ten when given a lot of thought will probably be from the earlier period. I can think of only a few exceptions in the later period that match the Paton, Redpath, Aitken and the Ancell babes all round skill level. But then the younger element would accuse this old codger of saying everything was better in my day.
  3. Because Steelboy does not rate him!.
  4. Hope he ditches the back 3 plan. Anything Tait did on Saturday could have been done as part of a back fourr
  5. Agree Dembele was against Stirling, but they were evenly matched at Livingston. Just shows worries should not be based on 45 minutes showing. If that was the case you should worry about McManus, he was by far the poorest of the centre backs on view over the two games.
  6. May seem like a silly question but just for clarification. if say say you have pledged £20 for 24 mths = 480 you will qualify for the rewards in the "steel" category and the "pre steel" Answered as well. Fingers smarter than brain this morning.
  7. What? the shy or the defending.
  8. Just my opinion. That information should only be available to members of WS and not divulged on any forum.
  9. Am I being naive?. The WS own/are the Club. The income pledged or other is to "support" the Club. The only concern is that the support is not misused and it is up to the members to ensure that this does not happen.
  10. No i don't know him. Watched him play a few times and impressed. Not just my opinion either. By best signing I meant in 3 or 4 years from now. Maybe my comment was too subtle for you.
  11. Could turn out to be one of the best signings this transfer window.
  12. I stand to be corrected but in the Robinson interview after the Tanner signing did he not say he could play "behind and across three strikers". 433 or 4213. perhaps?.
  13. Since he has been injured most of the season he maybe just manage to WALK into our team. Noted thats why he has been released.
  14. Ya Bezzer. I am not surprised you missed our best performance when you turned up on Wednesday. you were 24 hours too late.
  15. Depending on quality all the replacements expected we will probably miss him. on the other hand has that statement not a repeat of previous years?. On the plus side if true we will not have to wait until 48 hours before season starts for a decision and then a further 3 or 4 weeks to get fit.
  16. Coventry!!! just relegated to L2. Must be for money not ambition.
  17. Only one former pal giving his opinion and yes we have a crap bunch of refs. I would like to see all SPL managers rate them 1 to 10 and publish the results.
  18. First Goal. Ironically i was to moan about what a crap corner when the ball landed in the back of the net. Football?. what do I know about it?.
  19. Agreed. Just does do not often enough. Then again maybe he never gets the opportunity to do enough. Proves once again that pace with a some skill will test most defenses.
  20. He never had the plot to lose. Honestly where are the SFA digging them up?. Gies a job?
  21. Add " Already at the Club" to that reasoning.
  22. The Alba replay showed quite clearly that McDonald was tripped and the Accies defender, Sarris? knew it. Apologetic hands in the air expecting to be booked. And it was just outside the penalty area.
  23. I know it foreign to you but look at the positives. Some of us old codgers cant age another 50 years.
  24. Well done Weegie Dosser. Never thought among all the despondency on here anything could lighten the mood but you managed to bring not a just a smile but a laugh. Precious.
