Busta Nut

I have also saw 2 or 3 references to him going to the MLS. I know he went over there for a trial/training, but where is it suggested that he is welcome there? For what it's worth I think the standard is probably higher over there... (maybe)

I expect nothing on the park. (except a 5 min pint winning cameo, Desp) but this made me smile too.

I think these are all a bit of a contradiction. I get fairly entertained when I am at the fitba, granted recently it's maybe not been in our favour for 18 months but I do enjoy it and there are still flashes of brillance at games. Does your Scottish miserablesness contribute to you not enjoying the games? You claim the media are pish at selling it (which I don't disagree with) but your own assessment of what you take from it isn't exactly uplifting. Lack of local pride I understand what you mean with all the religous connotations from yesteryear having an effect on who (if not how) a lot of folk are brought up supporting, probably about 90% of Lanarkshire "supports" either of the old firm. I'd extend that to local pride in our own game as a whole. I really do enjoy Scottish fitba but I do think a lot of folk put it down just cos they can. We may not have the talent or the finance of the larger nations but it is still enjoyable (for me) and can still be excitable. The endless stream of fitba available on the telly these days has certainly diluted our opinion on our own game I think. There are good points made and we all know as I said we don't have the most talented players, I just feel a lot of folk (not neccessarily you) like to put the boot into Scottish fitba for the sake of it.

Aye, on loan.

This is interesting, I have often wondered how and why footballers are treated differently (cos they are) and what effect EU laws would have on footballers.

If he ends up our No.1 I hope he is a lot better than I remember him being.

If you think Samson or Twardzik are anywhere near Ripley's level then I am at a loss. Ripley isn't Ruddy or Randolph, but he's four times the keeper the other two clowns are.

Yay! Louis Moult is a hero!

What happened? I will need a reminder, I was only 13 at the time.

I agree, If he isn't getting a look in get him games. Can't say I mind him making a major difference in any senior games TBH.

That sounds awright. I'd like to see skippy get some goals.

Games all day long, He's getting nowhere with his wee cameo appearances.

Having said that. I don't really agree that Thomas shouldn't/can't play in our first team.

If these guys (Thomas etc) aren't gonna get a gig here just now. I want to see them play, so a loan to a Championship Division 1 team would be ok for them in my eyes.

14 or 16 top league would be a good thing I think. Split down the middle. I am in favour of the split. but not in this mental 6-4-4 method.

Let's try start a daft cup, a bit like the Anglo-Italian one they used to have. Teams from both Irelands, Wales, Scotland Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. A big bastard cup thing.

I hate that we seem to be in bed with hearts on everything

I just think the bonus points is a bit daft. Depending on how early this starts too. but I don't really have an issue with them revamping things.

I think it will be treaed as a preseason

There was a cove fan on the latest podcast for a quick chat

nearly missed mine

Get a steward to escort her in and out of her seat. MFC will be happy to help I assume.

Had a look at the player thing. Don't think it means anything.
