Would love to watch an SPL game live doon here an all the better if it's a Motherwell game. A few years ago, we used to get SPL games on free to air telly too, but that doesn't happen any more.
Aye, seems like the SPL stopped selling the games overseas. Or maybe the OF decided to hold onto their individual rights.
Watching games on the internet feed sometimes with dropouts the occasional 'Open all Mics' like the weeyin we can get the proxies, but you cant beat a being at the game.
Having said all that is the V Rangers game on the telly? Hope someone will post links
Should be plenty of links for the Rangers game. Just hope it's worth watching

craggs for me. double figures in clearances in his own box. tremendous.
forbes had a lot of good passes. on the other hand we had to change our full shape because the manager didn't have the faith to play him in a centre 2 and there were quite a few occasions were he should have been in control but he got shrugged off it because he was too weak.
Changing the shape of a team to accommodate the strengths of your available players sounds like common sense tactics to me rather than a lack of faith.

I'm well aware of that. Did you see the sky table after they beat Inverness though?
We should have been top of the league, and were not, for some reason. I don't mean now. Apparently goal difference, and alphabetical order meant nowt. They placed above us, with the same points, same home and away goals. What was that all about?
After their win, goal difference was the same as ours. So next factor is goals scored. They had scored 5 at that stage to our 4.

If there was ever a time for us to finally break this hoodoo..
I'd be delighted if we did, but I can't see it. Although the Fir Park games are usually tighter affairs.

You can rotate on the VLC player too.

when did you vacate ?
It feels like I have only been here a couple of years, but it's actually 14 years this month.

Dad and brother not keep you up to date as well?
With the access I have to the stories on here, the Twitter feed, and the occasional non-UK internet feeds, it's sometimes me that keeps them up to date!

Hi weeyin , how many games do you get to watch over the season ? is it over the net ? do you get live games over yonder ?
We get pretty well served over the net these days. Saw the Killie game online live this season, and can watch the BBC Alba broadcasts online too. Then I download a Sportscene torrent every week. So get to stay reasonably close to the action (or as close as telly/internet can allow). With the use of proxies, I can access the BBC Scotland live commentaries too, but I don't enjoy those as much and sometimes give them a miss.
A few years ago, we used to get SPL games on American telly too, but that doesn't happen any more.
I used to try to get to a couple of games a season at Fir Park, but haven't managed that so much recently.

We definitely have the players to play counterattacking football away from home, so I'm never surprised to hear the home team has more possession. It sounds like we made better chances, though, and making (and taking) chances is the name of the game.
-
From what McCall has been saying it sounds like Higdon has been suffering from injuries and still a bit behind the rest of the team in fitness.
Haven't seen today's highlights, but in the other games I've seen (albeit on telly) he seems to have put in a decent shift and had some nice touches around the box.
Will take a little time for him to strike up an understanding with his new team mates. Remember the slow start Jutkiewicz got off to, but he turned out OK.
-
More lazy journalism from the BBC.
Will the clowns there ever get any facts that doesn't concern the Old Firm correct?
I never bother reading the OF reports, but I doubt they are any more accurate. The BBC has trouble recognising Scotland on the map (and I include half of BBC Scotland in that observation).

And so the stereotype of students being too lazy to even scroll through a thread and/or unable to read continues to be reinforced.
And no, I'm not bitter just because I had to work a summer job to buy my non-discounted season ticket when I was a student.

I had 'The Lip' in the sweep for the first poster to respond on this thread. Apparently I win a Mars Bar.

I once watched Marsh training wi Latchford one day at Fir Park. Marsh had picked up an injury and even though there was no chance that he'd be playing that afternoon him and Latchford trained so intence that Marsh eventually had to quit training as he was starting to blister his fingers and some of his knuckles were bleeding.
Was that the day before the CIS Cup Final?

Discussing this on Sunday, me n my mate thought it was bag of matchballs or a set of strips we were due them. 90K??? Having a laugh!!!!The "bag of matchball" transfers is why UEFA implemented the rule - to help fund the investment at grass roots level. Unfortunately, it looks like they have gone to the other extreme and, in this case at least, hampered the prospects of the amateurs.

Would be happy with anything thats above 3rd from bottom
+1 on that. After 41 seasons of following this mob, any year we don't get relegated is never a really bad one! -
Just yous wait and see! OK it's early in the season but, assuming we bring in a player or two and keep Randolph and Murphy, why the hell can't we?!
Nobody said we can't. We're just not assuming we bring in a player or two and keep Randolph and Murphy. So for now, it's too early to tell.
If we could guarantee our starting 11 on the pitch every week, we'd have a great chance, but it's very much a squad game, and we still lack depth.
-
Hassebaink scored 3 times for Accies in 27 games. He's a decent enough player, but so are most strikers in the SPL.
Inevitably, a striker for another team will score a goal against us. It's no big deal. I'm sure St. Mirren are worried about Higdon and Murphy and I'm more confident they will score than Hasselbaink (even if he does win his appeal).

Football supporters, in general, cannot be trusted to behave. That's why we don't have alcohol in Scottish grounds, why you can't drink in sight of the pitch and why we don't have standing in major stadia. Past examples have proven this and this is why "responsible" adults are not offered the choice.
Neither of the examples you quote were anything to do with standing (safe or otherwise). Hillsborough was caused by (potentially criminal) negligent police crowd control and the Cup Final was due in large part to drunkeness.
So at least bolster your case with some relevant supporting evidence. You don't need to worry about losing your wee plastic seat just because some standing areas are introduced. You'll still have the choice to sit through a game with your knees on your chin and your neighbour's elbow in your ribs.

If it's been 6 years, then you must have other reasons beyond the 3 Lions.
Maybe, if Scotland ever managed to get to the World Cup finals someone would sponsor us too.

Just because a couple of 12 year olds want the rules changed doesn't mean it's a good idea.
What if the majority of fans wanted the rules changed? What if the Chairmen of the clubs wanted the rules changed? What if Members of Parliament wanted the rules changed?

Far too soon to tell. We need to see where we stand depth-wise after the transfer window closes. The SPL is a long, hard season and if we have to be throwing 19 year olds into the team in January then we can expect some inconsistency.
Great to get some early points on the board, though. It's a much easier game when your winning.

What about the rest of you?
Naw, can't go either.

Definite? So McCall told you that himself did he? You often confuse your own opinions with fact on here.
Why should Forbes be a straight swap for Keith? Are we only allowed to have one style of player in the team? Do you seriously expect us to have clones for every first team player? That's just deluded.
