And whether or not the people sitting around you have the patience could also be another matter.

That's a pretty drastic solution for spending an extra fortnight in Cairns.

It's one of the only two trophies we have a chance of winning each season, so it means something.

Tin hat for me too, as I agree with you both.

Gannon seems to have been very keen on the guy, so obviously thinks he can develop him into a useful addition. I'm not too worried about it being a loan. JG said he wanted a mix of permanent and loan players to give him some time to evaluate the squad and make changes later in the year as required.

Gannon's judgement has been pretty good so far. And while every manager can make bad signings, Everton must have seen something in the guy.

Just noticed that we share a birthday. Unfortunately, I can confirm that based on a statistical sample of one, anybody born on that date is pretty useless on a football pitch.

Glad to see the 'protracted discussions' paid off. Welcome aboard.

No chance. I don't care how other teams perform as long we are picking up the points.

No idea what the team or formation will be. Gannon might have some specific ideas in place like he did with Hutch marking Kyle at the weekend. If we hit top form we have a great chance of winning, but I won't be too disappointed with a point.

Does beating Llanelli 3 - 0 no count?

No chance. There is no way someone from Aberdeen was spotted putting their hand into their pocket.

I think all it means is that they don't award us a score because we were in administration a few years back. It doesn't mean we're bankrupt now, just that we don't have a credit score.

I didn't say there was adequate leg/elbow room. Just that it is better than the kiddie seats in the East Stand.

Yes and Yes (for some value of "long haul").

East Stand Baby Crew Wipes. Make them in claret and amber and I can see a marketing opportunity.

Because it was actually designed to house seats. That means there is some leg room between rows and you can turn the pages in your programme without inserting your elbow in your neighbour's ribs.

People fixing my posts just annoy me.

Probably match reports against Port Talbot then. There is a huge steel works there. Or was, the last time I visited.

If you are easily annoyed, reading this thread isn't recommended.

Is it not Port Talbot that are the Steelmen in Wales?

No wonder Mourinho is such a bad coach then. He never even managed one professional appearance.

I can see it with Firefox (plus proxies) no problem.

If Boyle is divulging business secrets to a cabbie, then it's him that should be embarrassed by this story regardless of it's subject matter.

Agreed. I said it early in the Euro campaign, but it's worth repeating. JB did a good business in selling some bankable players and bringing in Gannon as early as he did. With the uncertainty over Setanta etc. plus the money we spent on the pitch, it appears he has made a decent job of balancing the books without hurting the team too much. By taking action early, he appears to have found a good manager and given him time (and money) to get some players in. Meantime, some of our rivals are still struggling to rebuild. No doubt Boyle has made some mistakes in the past, but I think he took some tough (but timely) decisions this time that will pay dividends.
