Big Stall

Really good signing IMO

IMO the clubs done the right thing letting the contracts run down while there is still all the uncertainty over TV deals and sponsorship for next few seasons. If a foaming at the mouth Rangers fan type worst case scenario was to unfold, we will have an instant break given we will probably chop £10-£12k off the wage bill instantly. If those guys were on long term contracts then we would be up shit creek. Best case scenario there is no financial disaster, budgets carry on as before, we just need to rebuild the team. Given we will have plenty spare wage from the exodus, it could be done. As for the selling the team for £1m post. I was told from a reliable source at the start of the season that MFC were not accepting less than £1m for Hutchy back in the summer.

^ Can't see it myself, he's too good for us never mind Aberdeen. The only way I can see Randolph staying in Scotland is if Celtic want him. Which could be a possibility given they can probably get a high fee for Lurch the way he's been playing in the Champions League.

Aye but they all look like red hot models in their profile then when you see the actual contact it says something like @backdoorKYbodybuilders.com

Got to agree with that. Unless the poster knows her personally, I dont understand why you would follow a players bird.

Congrats to them both but how does anyone know about this? Was there a club announcement or something? Hately never had anything on his twitter

Yep, at least twice in the last couple of weeks I've read McCall termed as 'the wee Ranger' on here. Saying that, no doubt there was a simular minority who jumped on McGhee for his Celtic connections

He can be a blue nose all he wants, theres nothing to say fitballers have to support the team they play for. Laws a man-ure fan. Tams always tweeting about us winning, i reckon hes pro enough to put us first. One things for sure, blue nose or committed 'well player, he will have been trying to score today 100%! I've read a few people mention the cupped ear gesture when he scored against the sheep. At the time i thought it was directed at the Aberdeen fans who were giving him pelters about being has fathers boy. Certainly seemed to be running towards them and looking at them when he did it.

I didnt get the feeling he was getting pushed out at all. It came across that Murph is a real 'well fan and he himself is taking one for the team to ensure we get a fee for him.

A bit harsh surely? (Bit in bold)

Until we have someone that can consistently hit a penalty where they want to, then get Randolph to hammer them down the middle. Why does Hammil not get a chance??

Fair enough, Im not watching a stream only listening.

Why listening to it on the celtic commentary? I've got it on Radio Scotland.

Radio Scotland just said Murphy fee is £125k upfront which could eventually go to £250k.

The first 25 minutes of that were sore to listen too. Got better as the half progressed, hopefully we can find a goal or two...........

Tactical change leaving Higgy out. This could be really interesting. Probably still get humped but there is no way Celtic prepared for this game with no Higgy.

I agree that he certainly had some decent performances for us, the one where he and Cummins were thrust into the defence being the highlight. He did have a good few howlers too, and unfortunatley not enough game time to see if he had more better or worse games in his locker.

Who is patronising you? Could we get compo in the summer? Maybe. Will it be of any use at all if we have a cash flow problem in March? Course not. We would be out of business!

All that will happen, you c***s will go into mental, demand McCalls head, decide we are getting relegated& nae c***s fixed the paint on the steps. We will then win the next 2 games going clear in 2nd and the world will be ok again.

Sorry to see Jamie go, but to all the posters moaning about the fee, do you not understand the significance of cash flow to a business, particularly one that has no benefactor (Boyle/Romanov) and has NO overdraft facility?? I can't imagine this was a decision taken lightly, indeed its good to hear we are knocking back the £160k for Ojamma because we think he's worth more.

Hutchy moving on won't be a major surprise. We also have the luxury of a contract round his neck. Supposedly we were not willing to let him leave for peanuts in the summer, cant see there being any change in January. As much as it would be a kick in the baws to lose him, selling for a £1m might allow us to keep the rest of the team together till the end of the season.

I would say hes done enough to warrant a new contract then IMO. Cant imagine he would be looking for the big bucks just yet. Touch wood

When is he contracted until??

I dont see why it needs to be a 'Hammil or ZFA' debate. ZFA's best attributes seem to be going forward and attacking. The chances are Murphy will be off soon anyway. ZFA can play left wing and leave hammy at left back.

Wheres jim the postie, he must be gutted missing that game today since he wont go back when, 'the wee Ranger's in charge' Best game at the Ark for a good few years IMO!
