Well-Made

Hopefully with the comments that Smith had about the Old Firm game on Sunday we may eyt see a move to a bigger league happen. In case you missed it the reason that the game ended 0-0 was that they play each other to often so have now got to the point of being able to cancel each other out. One of the sticking points for change was the Old Firm Derby, the other was obviously the money the rest of the League would face with only haing them visit twice a saeason. However I think we can safely say the Old Firm Derby is no longer one of the biggest or best in the world (if it ever was) so might be better only having 2 a season. Anyway back to McCarthy and the jeering, I can understand why people would boo him if they are viewing him as an oppsotion player but to boo him because he's chosen Ireland over Scotland is nonsense. Someone at that young age has filled his head with nonsense or the other option is he was already a big headed git who couldn't believe that other folk were getting picked ahead of him for the Scotland Nursery team. From what I have seen against us he is no big loss. With us being the local derby you'd think he'd be able to step up and show us this potential but he ain't done it yet. For god sakes it was only a couple of years ago I was getting told that my oldest had the potential to do well. He was banging in goals left, right and centre. However that potential seems to have disappeared in the last season or two. Wrong coaches, wrong team, wrong attitude? It could be any of these things but it could also be it was never to be. The same could be happening to McCarthy or it could be he's burning out. The pressures of the modern game on a youngster can be devastating. Him and McArthur have helped carry the Hamilton side to the SPL and have yet to get a break from it. Maybe this is why none of the clubs that were reportedly interested in signing him have made moves to do so. Hamilton are just like the rst of the clubs in the SPL and Scottish Football if the right offer cmes in they'll snap your hand off for it. I really think to see how much potential and ambition he really has we need to see where he goes next. In the meantime stop fretting about him playing for Ireland. It's not as if he's going to come up against us competitively in the forseeable future.

Seems weird that, especially as kids can watch you purchasing alcohol in Asda, Tesco etc. Obviously some jobsworth\churchgoing\politically correct brigade member (delete as applicable) has made that rule up to hinder pub landlords.

As there's already a thread on the undersoil heating, I'll close this one just now.

According to his interview in the Record today that booking has earned him a 3 match suspension.

McGhees comments about the fans were spot on and I believe this was the right time to come out and say it. If he left it any later then he'd only get accussed of bringing the MFC name into disrepute. As it is, it's been well documented in the last week about what our fan base is like. So now was the time to say it. At the end of the day je is only doing what any good gaffer would do and stick up for his staff.

Congrats Clarky. Shame that it wasn't a better goal to celebrate it properly although I suppose it being against Hamilton makes up for that.

I hope we see a good game today, well as good as the pitch will allow. Hopefully we'll come out best with a 3-1 win.

Ah well, I hope McGhee has passed this info onto Klimpl I think he has been treading fairly close to the line between yellow and red with some of his bookings.

It was supposed to be after the Rangers game today but that is now called off.

I can remember when they used to have the Police directing the traffic at each of the roundabouts on Airbles, that has long since stopped. There was one game earlier this season I spent an hour just waiting to get onto Airbles, it was a week night game against Rangers I think. I appreciate most of the games we don't need this as I am normally back in Cumbernauld within 30 minutes or so. Some games d require it especially if a lot of the traffic is going to head to the M74.

At least Chick has had the decency to admit we should have won this.

I would say that Skippy Sunday runs the Semi Final one close. Would've loved to have been at Hampden in '91 though.

Is it the one I took from the stand you are looking for? (It was posted up here when I got back from the game) If it is I'll take a dig about and find it for you.

If you believe the Sun today Dundee Utd and ourselves are chasing 22 year old Port Vale keeper Joe Anyon. He's available on a bosman at the end of the season. With Michael Fraser already signed up for the end of the season does this mean that Buzz has told the management he's off? there are 2 other possibilities of course, firstly it's the Sun, secondly maybe to get Buzz to extend with the deal on the table.

Found this on the Sun website Somebody got their wires crossed somewhere? Thought his wife\girlfriend was at uni.

Except it's forecasted for colder weather from the weekend.

Glad that we've got a decent fee for him considering how long he has left on his contract. Would've been happy for him to stay obviously but Cardiff is a better move than Nottingham Forest or Hearts for that matter. Good Luck to him if he is away and a huge thanks for the goals.

I think this thread has run it's course and I will close it. DosserJoe has supplied the answers to the points raised. If someone from the Trust can PM Scooby re: the scanner please that'd be appreciated. The Trust do fight a losing battle in whatever they do won't be accepted by all sides but they do the best they can with the limited resources and time they have.

Why pay for him when he says he's out of contract at the end of the season in the Sun story?
