Who were the bruisers in that team today?
Dillon I'll give you... I don't see any others.
Every time we play them they try and stop us playing by brute force.
-
we will probably be the only team that can't beat them
Dundee Utd's style (i.e. bruisers that like to lump balls and players) matches up well against Rangers. They are always going to be more successful against that mob.

Did he score twelve last season? I thought he'd scored eleven
Soccerbase has him on 11 for last season.

What exactly is the script for getting all of the money in if I signed up? Is there a final deadline for the full £300?
If you contact them directly they will give you the details, but I believe you have about 9 months to pay the full amount.
-
I joined up last week. Hopefully many others are like me and get their fingers out nearer the deadline.
Just a born procrastinator.

In effect, he is being punished twice for the one "offence ". Yet another in a long line of SFA clusterfucks.
Not really. He was basically sent off. If a player is sent off and subsequently suspended he isn't being punished twice.
Hope he fights it though.

Closest I have over here are John Spencer (Portland) and Ally Maxwell (Phoenix), but those towns are are about as far away from me as Motherwell!
In fact, we only have one famous sportsman from my wee town and that is Dan Orlovsky (QB for the Tampa Bay Bucs)

if we finish 2nd or 3rd because we'l be taking the arm bands off and swimming with the big boys!
Or Shamrock Rovers.

I used to work beside former well player Ian Kennedy and he would chat about this game, he always told me he played a blinder and had Johan Cryuff in his back pocket all game. Obviously researching the issue I found out Ian wasn't even in the team that day lol, further more dont even think Cryuff was on the books at Ajax. Was a good story tho
Cruyff was at Barcelona by that stage. However, the Ajax team was full of Dutch internationals, a number of whom played in the 1978 World Cup final (including their captain Ruud Krol).

Some centre forwards can make good centre halfs but I don't believe Higdon will be one of them. The big man gives away a lot of fouls when he goes for headers. This is fine when doing it in the oppositions half but its a different story doing it 20-30 yards from our goal.
Not that I'm saying Higgy should be playing centre half, but defenders get away with much more fouling than strikers. There are things that go on in the box at a corner that would be instant free kicks if they happened in the middle of the park.
-
Why do refs everywhere have to be complete cocks and make stupid decisions? It even happens in my amateur ice hockey!
They see things from a specific angle, have to watch 5 or 6 things and once, and deal with 'professionals' constantly trying to con them.
If they make 100+ decisions in a game and get even half a dozen wrong, it's not great, but I have some sympathy. I'd like to see the standard improve, but I can't see why anybody with half a brain would want to be involved at the top level.
-
Cheers, he was a truly great player for us. Graham and Pettigrew are certainly up there as one of our finest ever strike partnerships.
That was back in the day when STV games were in colour, but when they should the Aberdeen highlights from Grampian, they were in black & white.

Unfortunately this is an opinion of blinkered chairmen and fans alike. Far too many people in the game right now cant see the wood for the trees. We MUST take the opportunity here to make our SPL a more competitive league. Competitive doesnt mean richer! But if everyone is in the same boat it is irrelevant. There arw 2 ways to make the league more competitive.
1- Keep Rangers out. Less TV money? Who cares, id rather have a fair and equal slice of a small cake than a shoddy slice of a larger one. EVERY team, including celtic would just have to downsize so it would be a more level playing field.
2- Re-structure, bigger, fairer and more competitive league. The only reason we have a shitty small boring league playing teams over and over again is so sky get 4 old firm games. well sky can fuck off. If the spl had 16 teams there would be more of a challenge at the top as the bigger diddies would have less 'no chance' games in Glasgow, would half the amount of gamea agianst each other essentially just taking points off each other etc... This with euro an relegationplay offs for added excitement would be worth it even if there was less money - everyone would be in the same boat so it wouldnt matter!
Totally agree with this, and I have always been in favour of 14 or 16 league expansion and equal revenue distribution. Like most modern businesses, however, there are too many Boards and Chairmen that are looking to short term profit and just cross their fingers that the long term will take care of itself.

So that sums up what folk are railing against.
Business and sport can exist together but when fair play is cast to the side by corruption and cheating all for the sake of cash the the ba's on the slates.
Business and sport can exist together, but when you run a business you have a legal obligation to make decisions that maximise the returns for investors/shareholders. At that stage, they are often mutually exclusive.
The day we let TV companies dictate the fixture list is the day the fans lost control of the game.
I'd much rather have newco back in the SPL with a 16 team league, equal split of revenues and 3pm Sat/7:45pm Wed only kick-offs than kick out newco and keep the arrangements we have now.

Football is a sport,
Professional Football is a business and its sponsors expect it to deliver as many potential customers as possible.

Some folk must have some voices going on in their head when their reading other folks posts
To be fair, that was possibly the worst analogy ever posted on here.
It is quite entertaining watching people get so worked up about a hypothetical, mind you.
-
Full squad apart from Stevie. Bit different for next Saturday though..........!
No problem. Two different teams, two different sets of tactics - that will confuse the senile auld bugger!
-
We can do both though.
Refuse rangers entry and then we have Celtic by the baws re voting and tv as Ross county and dunfermline would vote it in.
Shaft the pair of them.
Despite the gum flapping from some chairmen, teams that are in major debt aren't going to vote out what they see as a cash cow.
-
We know exactly how Broon is going to set his team up, so it's up to our creative players to try and carve something out.
No such thing as an easy Cup Tie at this stage of the competition, but I think we can do the business at the first time of asking. 2 - 0 with our impact subs turning the game in the second half.
-
goals conceded has a direct effect on results while goals score by one player doesn't.
I stopped reading here as that is just nonsense. Of course the goals scored by our top scorer has a direct effect on games.
Oh, and Clarky managed to score 13 league goals in each of his last two seasons - at least one of which was in a team that was better than the one we have now.
-
Interesting that you'll rate a defender based on how few goals his defence concedes (which is perfectly valid), but ignore goals scored when you're rating a striker such as Higdon.

Either 1-1 or 2-1 to them I'm afraid, but as ever I hope to be proved wrong.
No you don't.

Can we not just avoid the debate altogether and give it to Derek Adams?
-
be sad to see the Pars go down, great wee away day out, travel is easy by train/bus or car (only £2 for the parking )
+1 on that. Had many great away days to Dunfermline dating back to our First Division days.
