Maybe we should use our normal system then instead of changing it to one that suits the old firm better.

Maybe we could get some good posters in on emergency loan.

I doubt it. The guy's a winger, I believe, and we aren't short in that department.

England to Scotland transfer window rules, presumably. He's not a free agent, so need to abide by those. EDIT: assuming there is any truth in the rumour, of course.

They also must either have Jumbo Muir or Kirkie Lawson painted on them.

I always thought he was solid, but nothing more. Over the past few years I would place Porter, Clarkson, Murphy and Jutkiewicz ahead of him.

It's ex-pat code for a stream for the Celtic game.

Aye, but lots of people (especially kids or folks with kids) often have activities on a Saturday morning - like playing football - that would make them miss a noon kick-off.

Agree with that, and like I said at the time, I think one of the reasons for his purple patch watch our signing of Jeffers. The work he did off the ball was very impressive and opened up all sorts of opportunities for both Sutton and Murphy. Hearts have struggled up front in recent months and Sutton was never going to magically change that - he's not that type of player.

Also, many PATG punters are PATG because other commitments mean they can only attend a few games a season. This scheme allows them to invest in the club in a different (and for them, possibly better) way.

Short term - cut our budgets. Long term - increase crowds with regular 3pm Saturday kick-offs and wait for the next TV deal to come along.

I agree with that. I don't think taking a salary bump at this stage in his career was greedy. Taking it with a club in turmoil and a track record of late payment of wages, however, was definitely higher risk that most moves.

Good news for his agent who, I'm pretty sure, was responsible for the whole "Didn't get offered a new contract soon enough (aye, ye did)" situation. Nothing against the player, but for shock factor this ranks somewhere between Catholic Popes and Defecating Arboreal Bears.

They're bad losers.

I'd like to be on board, but I'd like to hear from the club on how they will communicate the plan to ex-pats like myself. Sounds promising, though.

I think you're right Al. I'm sure we used to have one of the largest pitches in the league (and bigger than both of the OF).

Apparently we lost a few yards at Fir Park with all the work that was done on the pitch last year (at least that is what one of the commentators said). Of course, ultimately, it also depends on where you paint the lines. I remember Souness bringing them in a few yards at Ibrox when Rangers played a Euro tie against a team with good wingers.

Very true. In fact, if you can't download it to your iPod (or mp3 player of choice) it's not really a podcast at all.

It's obviously just a bit of banter between 2 guys that have worked with each other before.

Already an epic thread.

Was watching the highlights and had similar thoughts. Higdon's first goal yesterday showed nice touch and vision to pass it into the far corner. The second was a striker's bread and butter - making room for himself close to goal and a simple finish. Give him the service and I have no doubts he's come up with the goods.

Definitely a class act, even at a young age. Always looked a player that was going onto bigger and better things.

It's also incredibly misleading. Jan/Feb typically has the worst winter weather and our record for the last 3 seasons for those 2 months (including Cup games) is pretty good: 2008/2009: Played 11. Won 5, Drew 5, Lost 1 2009/2010: Played 10. Won 6, Drew 3, Lost 1 2010/2011: Played 14. Won 6, Drew 2, Lost 6 Total: Played 35. Won 17, Drew 10, Lost 8. And 2 of those seasons we only lost 1 game during those 2 winter months. Statistics, eh?

Your write they're

Seconded.
