  1. The lower league clubs can bring in loans after the window closes, but not the Premiership.
  2. The Grimsby result was also highly entertaining. Amaluzor must be disappointed he didn't get a piece of that.
  3. If we were as good as Club Brugge, maybe. I don't expect us to hit that level for another week or two.
  4. Just wanted to say "Liam Kelly" so I can mention the absolute destruction of his mob in the first half. That American investment has been great value.
  5. War chest X Wheeling and dealing X Move some out before bringing some in X Slams shut X Bingo!
  6. While I don't think Rice is a good option (particularly not on loan) I would never close the door on a good young player who made a poor choice. Especially if they made that choice as a 15 year old.
  7. I think the last time I was at Tynecastle we went 1 - 0 up and saw it out. Willie Irvine was the scorer!
  8. I have no idea what state they are in now, but weren't they docked points and put into administration recently? Of course there is a chance to be picked up by EPL clubs - just surprised a struggling Championship team was his best option.
  9. Didn't take him long to get bored with league titles and Champions League football.
  10. I guess the Giro reference went over the head of the under-50s. Now I know what grizzly feels like when nobody laughs at his jokes, a feta worse than death,
  11. Good to see new faces, but still needing a central defender.
  12. Some place they'll accept his Giro, apparently.
  13. I thought when the Scottish game moved from 2 to 3 subs it was too many! I think that ship has sailed.
  14. Good to know about Turnbull. Players who aren't playing for their club should be no place near a starting spot at international level, but no doubt Gunn will be in between the sticks again for the next Scotland game.
  15. We definitely dropped the ball (as it were) when Craig Gordon was number one, and didn't work on developing his replacement. It's not like we didn't have plenty of time.
  16. Only if we sign another defender before next week. I think we'll score though, and look forward to seeing our new forwards get some game time. Also looking forward to SK trying to backpedal (or double down) on his comments about our fans, and seeing what the Bois have in store for him.
  17. We're only 3 games into the league season with our new approach. It's going to take a few more months (at least) for the team and manager to figure out how to handle different game situations and different styles of team. While it was a disappointing way to lose a lead, there were still plenty of positives to take from the game. We're also still operating with a bit of a makeshift defence, so hopfeully a new signing or two will help address that problem. On the plus side, we won our League Cup group, won a tough cup tie in Perth, and navigated a tough open set of league fixtures undefeated. We all knew there , would be some bumps in the road while the new methods and tactics were implemented, but the improvement is clear to see. JBA seems like the kind of manager who take this on board and make sure that both himself and the team learns from it, Yesterday was one of those situations where if, before the game, you were offered some good football and a 3 - 3 draw, you would have taken it - but the manner of the draw feels like a heavy loss.
  18. Just played for JBA st Horsens. I'm hoping our other players will hit the same levels under him.
  19. Managed the scoring part today. Now we need to mange the defending bit. Take your pick...
  20. or will we just score a third?
  21. oooft. Now that's JBA football at it's finest.
  22. Another benefit of playing this new style is it really sucks the life out of the opposition fans. There's not much for them to get excited about when we are pinging the ball around.
  23. We need to keep our possession stats around 70% to reduce the number of chances they get to test Balmer!
