Big Stall

I would expect the quality to reduce yes as the wage bill reduces, but to potentially not have one player good enough to get into either of our best two teams of the last 10 years? I think some of it falls at the door of the manager and the type of players he is taking on.

Unusually, I actually agree with Steelboy here. Forget absolute or relative decline, you can even forget where we are finishing in the league. Look at it this way, how many of our current squad would get a game in McGhee's team (first time round) or McCalls best team? Honestly, I think the answer is none of our players sadly, and I am generally one of the "happy clappers" around here.

Well, Brendan made his bed at the league cup final last season. He argued if Kipre so much as touched him, then the rules are that it is a penalty.

Well hopefully he keeps reading and bangs in a few more goals!

Would be quite nice to see us line up 4-4-2. Cadden playing right mid with Tait behind him. Would imagine we might see a different Cadden....

You only need to watch the Humphrey interview on youtube to see how much the bois can and do bring, as well as how much it means to the guys on the park. The bois and any hangers on, need to watch the interview and get back to what they are good at. Forget the nonsence, just 90mins of noise!

How does anyone know if Las would ve great or shambolic? It would certainly be a gamble giving him it.

Tait benched. Injured or the gaffer losing his marbles? Turnbull getting a chance tho which is encouraging.

Playing the young guys wont help if all he does is say right boys, run hard, punt high balls up to the big lads up top and fight for the 2nd ball.

If Robinson goes/is pushed we have a back up of Craigan and his youth team who could at least show us something a bit different.

As bad as that decision is, the real travesty is how much it has been swept under the carpet. You can't even find it on the BBC sport pages. Now imagine that the decision had went against either of the ugly two........

The video from behind the goals is incriminating and McGregor was at it all game. To be honest, Im not overly fussed if he gets done or not. Trial by media is a pain in the arse. What is a bit irking is the way it gets swept under the carpet. Bowman was the pantomime villain for weeks after the semi final, the wagons had circled for days and it was only Pedro getting his jotters that shifted the focus a little. Had it been Bowman on Saturday who did it, you can bet the uproar would be amplified, not just by the Rangers supporters venting their spleens on the phone ins, but the press and pundits and no doubt Brendan weighing in their thoughts on our out of control mad man........

Bigi for me without a doubt. Spraying balls about, great delivery, seemed to have Campbell levels of desire and energy yesterday. More of the same from now on please Bigi!

Surely have to have a big chunky % sell on clause around his neck. I expect he will last 1 year at Wigan before the next big bid comes in.

Maybe we get a little excited yes, but make no mistake, if the big man was playing for Celtic they would be looking to make him their nxt £10million profit, and would probably have raised his profile with Southampton already. Maybe not this summer but in another season or two

I have no source, but to add some rumour and intrigue to this, i did see Lasley in Figos bar last week..... (He was with his family however and not Gauld) Would be a cracking signing tho

Which is a good thing...... unless said season ticket holder doesnt recieve the information to tell him/her when they need to renew by inorder to retain their current seat.....

She told me to use my code when i got home to link my account to the kid season ticket. When i said i didnt have a code i could see a frustrated, almost roll eyes look. It was pretty clear that the staff are aware its an issue. To be fair to her, she was great. Sorted me out, gave me the codes i needed, took payment. But it doesnt really fix the lack of communication issue sadly.

I renewed yesterday and got a childs ticket for one of my weans. They are a bit young for it yet but gets their name on the system and reserves a spare seat. Im in the same boat as a few others. I havent been posted or emailed any season ticket renewal information. No codes, not even a price leaflet. Was there the usual early bird offer? I have no idea. Now it obviously didnt affect me going and renewing, but how difficult is it to send out a mass email to everyone on the list. The club have upped their game on the social media videos side of things but basic marketing and conventional communications dont seem to have improved any. We really need all the fans we can get, we cant afford to let fans slip away without even trying to engage with them.

Right up for this now. Mon the 'well!

While I agree with you, you have to factor in the fact that in the minds of the downtrodden Celtic fan, they are being shafted simply by not being given the opportunity to claim the title in the first game post split at Park Head. Like you say, ........ fuck em!

Think that went right over your head.......

Any word on whether the club have got a license to serve us up breakfast beers before the buses leave next weekend?

We are not in the final yet so no point in worrying about it, however, Robinson has already said his piece with the masterstroke after the Celtic game, raising the awareness of the Thomson issue and the number of incorrect red cards he has given us. A play straight out of Brendans book and Robbo should be congratulated. That in itself probably ensured that if Thomson had been due to get a semi-final, he wasn’t getting our one. If we get to the final, then Robbo has already raised the awareness of the guy, much like Brendan did with Bowman.

Thats a good point i hadnt considered. This Aberdeen team have no experience of Main. The big man was a real problem for both Celtic and Rangers defences. Obviously they have saw him play but the team have not felt him play. Do we really need to give them a practice run before the semi?
