  1. Tam McManus getting awfy mixed up at halftime.
  2. Sounds like a cracker of a goal. One each now.
  3. Good luck to Dan, it'll be interesting to see where he ends up. McCall signing him on a two year deal and installing him as number one was the first sign he had lost the plot.
  4. Kmcalpin's comedy gold when he gets started on Las and Hammell.
  5. There's no chance Faddy is going to MLS. Teams are signing Drogba and Giovinco, Faddy couldn't get a deal at St Johnstone.
  6. Over the week they took two points and 7 off their goal difference. Over the week we took zero points and 7 off our goal difference. It's not time to panic yet but the next three games are massive.
  7. Accies have told the SFA to they don't want to host the green and grey hordes so the EK cup tie has no venue. Hopefully playing on the Saturday will rule out Fir Park.
  8. Just watched Accies take a good point off Hearts. They battled away and looked like a team in a relegation battle. If we're to take anything on Saturday we'll have to dig in a lot more than we have recently and wake up to the fact that we are in a dodgy position. If we lose and Accies and Killie draw we are all on 25.
  9. The first hour we played well and apart from one fuck up from a corner were the better side. Cadden did well, looks like an athlete and improved as the game went on. Left when Chalmers came on but heard he had a nightmare. We're in a relegation battle and the priority has to be the defence, any spare cash has to go on a decent right back this window.
  10. Phillip Lahm just couldn't deal with him
  11. He did the same thing in his first spell here. When he arrived he took against Corrigan and Brian McLean and was also reluctant to play Lasley for no descrinable reason.
  12. Fair enough, I had never heard that and there's nothing about it online. Andy Dow was terrible for us.
  13. The main priorities at the moment are not getting relegated and repaying the loan to Hutchinson. Selling Marvin is unlikely to get us relegated and will help repay the loan.
  14. It sounds to me like they want to reduce the number of jersey fillers in the youth set ups. So they are suggesting that clubs like us have fewer school leavers in the youth set up. This leaves the problem of what to do with the extra boys who don't make the grade. Their solution is this draft system where the lower league clubs are obligated to take a certain amount of boys (if the boys want to go there obviously).
  15. Is the 'draft' proposal not just to reduce the number of 16-19 year olds with senior clubs? Clubs will have less 16+ youth players and the best players let go will be divvied up around the lower leagues.
  16. I think this is more likely to be an agent getting his clients name out there. It used to happen with Humphrey every window. If Bournemouth stay up they'll be in the top 30 richest clubs in Europe. Players at Marvin's level won't be getting anywhere near their squad.
  17. Just googled and Faddy was at Hearts then came to us with Bobby Jenks when he was 14. Hutchy was released by Sunderland before he came to us.
  18. Lasley, Hammell, McFadden and Craigan all came to the club aged over 16. If a player plays in the age group sides then it's fair to call them home grown.
  19. Even if the young players aren't good enough to go on and make a career at this level we've had important contributions from people like Darren Smith, Fitzpartick, Forbes and Kinniburgh just by coming in and being decent in the positions they know. Carswell made his debut at Tynecastle and we took a good point.
  20. Because the manager decided to put in Chalmers who is nowhere near good enough and Law in centre mid where he is out his depth. He also split up Hammell and Marvin who were playing well together. Don't change the defence unless you have to.
  21. Big Samson could maybe do a job in the middle of the park.
