If lack of television money means that the clubs get their finances in order and start focusing on the development of home-grown players, then I think it will be beneficial for football in the long run. Even in the SPL there are too many overpaid players of average ability.

According to the SPL financial report that was just published, St. Mirren sold Love Street for 9.2 million and made a net profit of almost 11 million. However, there wage bill rose 15% and their attendances fell 19% from the previous year.

I heard it was dazamfc.

No sweat, I knew what you meant. Like I said, good find - I have a few sites I use for streaming, but that one was new to me.

Well, to be fair, the idea isn't that you have to go out and sign somebody within 24hrs. The idea is that you get to register new players that you have signed during the last couple of weeks or so.

I don't care if it works for the Americans, as long as the Scots living in America can watch Good find, btw.

It works for me.

Aye, but only if they were streaming the games live for the ex-pats.

Aye, big Keith was the best by quite some distance.

I'd assumed the two were closely related.

Aye, that's probably true, but I like my statistics Plus, I seem to have blanked out most of the Roger Hynd games for some reason. Despite our 6th and 5th place finishes, under MacLeod, I really enjoyed that period of watching the 'Well. Made it to almost every away game and got enjoy the delights of Firs Park, Starks Park, Annfield, East End Park etc. I got my first season ticket that year too.

Regardless of the players, the worst team is the one that finished 6th in the First Division (79/80 season). The lowest position I have witnessed in my time at Fir Park. Still had a lot of fun going to all the games though.

Like most forums, the posters tend to be a self-selecting sample i.e. people are more likely to post a complaint than they are to make a positive comment. That's human nature and unlikely to change. Having said that, however, for reasons that I have never quite understood, and for as long as I have been going to Fir Park, there has been a significant faction of fans who seem to loudly (and irrationally) complain about everything.

Sounds a lot like Faddy when he made his breakthrough into the first team. I'm glad we didn't sell him on so early in his career.

I see in The Scotsman this morning, Wattie is saying that nothing has changed from the January transfer window and the entire Rangers squad is still up for sale. So it's not just us that is having to make the books balance like this.

Eh? So the league where he developed all his talent would somehow strip him off it if he came back? Not that I want to see him play for the OF, but I don't think playing in a Birmingham side rooted at the bottom of the EPL will do much for his career. I don't know how far back 'recent times' extends, but Rosco was probably the most naturally gifted, and Skippy was a great goalscorer, even in the poorer 'Well sides.

To be fair, that '91 team was better value for money than anything Man U put on the pitch that season

I'd need to go back and listen to that interview again to be sure, but what I took from it was that he knows a lot more about the scene in England that Scotland and, based on numbers alone, there is a bigger pool of talent to draw on down south.

Excellent introduction. I look forward to more insightful debate as we move towards the return leg. Keep it up!

Long term contracts.

Nae luck, mate.

I don't think it will be channel 134 out in California, but hopefully there will be a stream available somewhere.

The pitch is in great condition too, considering how late in the season this game is.

I'm a wee bit scared that you're keeping track of who disagrees with you

Why? It sounds like Craigan can take it, and is responding exactly the way Gannon wanted. It's not a coincidence the boss singled out the most experienced player in the team. It's good management.
