Big Stall

As much as I like it, in reality the OF probably deserve a bigger whack than the rest of us due to the fact the 4 old firm games are what the TV companies are paying for. Do sky really want to be showing Motherwell v St Mirren? Do they fuck, they pay the money for Rangers v Celtic * 4! :wheres the tinhat smilie:

PS - If he does end up at Aberdeen then its pretty apparant he's going because of Brown, and we can take it as read that had Brown not been a 'sleekit wee c**t' we would have retained Blackman for the season. PPS- Hopefully he tells the old bastard to take a hike and he comes back to hit 20 goals in the season for us!

I don't see anything official reported anywhere. Hopefully its just Keevins and co going off on one. Give the boy a chance until he's officially an Aberdeen player. The facts are that we are stronger with Blackman in the team/squad, as will Aberdeen be.

You would rather play someone who the previous management brought in but have obviously had second thoughts about hence his lack of game time (when fit), than a player who has been key to any success we have had this season and has 10 goals in the bank??

Whats the contract situation with the three of them? I thought they were out of contract as of yesterday? Or do they run until the end of January?

Pulled off a cracker of a save from Muphy deep into the second half, but that's about it. We were shite!! Sutton was much better than Gow. Not really much else to add, it was a dire game. Hamilton played their usual game and we were too shite to take the game to them. Hopefully McCall can fire them up.

I see where you are coming from, but in reality, it is normal to list the biggest clubs. I would expect had we appointed Nicky Butt, we would be reading about former Manchester United legend. And forgot all about Newcastle, Birmingham City and South China. At the end of the day, his biggest achievements were with Rangers and Scotland, the press and punters up here will most associate him with those two aspects. I don't really see the problem. All the best McCall. I am yet to be convinced, but will support you until you do something to deserve otherwise!

Are these general prospects or a bunch of fannies sending in their champ man cv's??

Many Condolences

Don't usually engage in all the usual, someone told me something pish but what the fuck..... Was just told by someone who was speaking to someone in the know at the club, that we'v got burst pipes in the South Stand. Dependant on how bad it is, boxing day game might not be able to happen. Would be interesting to see (if true) how the press react to it, and compare this reaction with Rangers burst pipes last weekend.

That would be the same game where we got a very 'fortunate' penalty! no??

Each to their own. I would rather we kept doing well, qualifying for europe and losing a manager every year than get a diddy who leads us from one relegation battle to the next.

Never thought I'de agree with a celtic fan on P&B but one just posted this in Jenno's defence.... "He obviously didnt share information with his manager so what was to stop him getting subbed before 82 minutes. He could have got sent off in the first half if he wanted to by making an innocuous but bookable challenge and receiving a second yellow." Good point. If you want to get sent off, do you really gamble that the manager will leave you on for 82 minutes??

Innocent until proven guilty.

Next time i watch a game that gets a couple of early yellows and a lunatic ref, im defo going to check out the in game red card markets. If the bookies want to investigate, fair enough but it was glaringly obvious early doors someone was getting sent off. I said to Andy P as soon as the first yellow came out that there would be at least one red during the game!

Maybe it wasn't a scam. Anyone anywhere watching that match would know there was a very good chance it wasn't going to finish with 22 men on the field.

The problem I have with Clarke is that he's pretty much been linked with every job going and to date he's got none of them. There must be a reason for it, perhaps he really isn't as good as we think, or potentially he isn't that interested in these jobs. Would still rather have Wilkins.

Thats because he's not daft. He new he wasn't going to get sacked at Motherwell, so no requirement of a contract, a contract would only dissuade possible suiters as they would have to pay compo to get him. Aberdeen on the other hand are very likely to sack him if things don't go well. Get a contract around your neck and you are protected for the next 2 and a half years. Shrewd operator!

I do like the rhetoric, but at the end of the day, we are only the 'well. It would seem only Celtic have the balls to stand up and demand action when integrity of the league is at stake. Would expect the SPL will glance at the surface, no contract, no foul, carry on. Although I would like to see Boyle go to town on them

"We have spoke to Mr Boyles representatives and they did indicate that he wasn't pleased at all!" Really Craig? Imagine that, you told the club and fans on Wednesday you were staying and then on Thursday did a total U turn! "In the fullness of time, this is a bigger job" Your fucking 70 years old! You won't be in the job for the fullness of time. If Aberdeen were looking for a long term appointment then they wouldnt be after a pensioner. "We are gutted to leave" For fucksake!

I hope he's there. We will have to face him at one point anyway, best to do it while a- any new idiot (chisholm) hasn't had a chance to ruin our team, and b- before Craig and Archie mold something better at Pittodrie. I do hope that if we are going to give someone a tanking this year then it is them next week!

Didnt Slane go After Mutley went to Aberdeen??

Phil Brown was deparate to go to Aberdeen. Now obviously as McGoo and Broon have proven, we don't have the same pulling power as the sheep, but we are a better gig at the moment and have been for at least the last 5 years.

Worth quoting this, in the hope that someone with any clout reads it!

Absolutley hee haw chance of it and way out of our price range, but Butch Wilkins, just punted the other week by Chelsea!
