Libero

Like the idea about the Fraser save, that was truly an unbelievable save Going back quite a few years any photos of Iain Stewart doing one of his legendary chips to score would be great. Quite a few goals against Celtic stick out, any from the 3-1 win in 2000. Cowies finish and Procors bullet header in the 3-2 win in 2003. Munro's half volley days after he was told his contract wasnt being renewed. Few against Rangers, Hayes run and howitzer last season, Rankin's rocket in the fixture in between Christmas and new year a few years back. Blacks penalty at Ibrox... Icons for me: Pele, Robbo getting us to the SPL, Barry Wilson, Stewart, Denzil, Sheerin, Munro, Calder, Tokely.... few from more recent times Juanjo, Rooney

Its definately a grower. When i saw it yesterday i really wasnt a fan, dont mind it today, i'm sure by the time i see the team play in it i'll like it

If thats the case then it makes a mockery out of signing Winnal and Chippendale last year. They were used less than sparingly so it begs the question was it worth signing them on loan. I dont mean from a quality point of view, because i thought Winnal would have done a job if he had a run in the team, i just mean from an initial signing requirement and financil outlay

I wonder out of all the loan signings we had last year were we responsible for any % of their wages or if it was a deal whereby we didnt pay anything but in return gave the loanee much needed experience?

Just got to hope that we dont have the same injury problems as last year. Have to say i am eager to see how are younger players get on in the SPL, there is certainly potential there so hopefully they can adapt quickly and push on to make an impact

May well be but I sense others may be in a lot worse shape come the season kick-off I certainly hope others are fielding such inexperienced and small squads, this season is going to be a real dog eat dog battle to stay up.

Terrys column in todays Press and Journal gives a small update on our squad rebuilding process, he says that our budget has been affected by the announcements of last week and that while he wants to add Simon King to the squad that will be it. He also says that he plans to run with a squad of 18 for next season, supplemented by youngsters from the U20 squad. Going to be a long season i think

Wonder how long it will take for Regan and Doncaster to roll out their SPL2 idea.....despite the crucial decision being made today, this debacle is far from over

Another revelation in the long list of football problems coming to the fore http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18813156 Makes you look back to the days where football was about football and not about chasing the £

Didnt say it was? Hence why i said i didnt know whether it was guff or had any shred or truth

Who knows whats going on now The site looks like it is written by fans so whether they have a real trinket of transfer news or are just putting two and two together who knows. Have to say ive never heard of Swinodn Town either? http://www.swindon.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=286950

U19 defender

It would appear David Raven is now injured as well as Warren. So that means our fully fit defenders at the moment are: Meekings, Shinnie and Cooper (U19)

I sincerely hope that part of the upcoming discussions taking place between the SPL/SFL and SFA look to fix the overly top-ended distribution of TV money to aid fair competition. I am amazed that Sky has remained so quiet over the last few months while the likes of Regan and Doncaster continue to spout lines such as; Sky will withdraw this or Sky wont like this or Sky will renegotiate this. I wish they would come out and give their standing. Depending upon their stand then the following would be evident: If Sky pull or aim to renegotiate their package then it shows that Doncaster agreed the last deal on the proviso that the Old Firm were kept in the SPL. This is unforgivable. There is no doubting that Celtic and Rangers brought a lot of money into the SPL in the past but there are more than 2 teams in Scotland. If Sky sign an extension to the deal without any changes then it shows Regan and Doncaster to be scaremongers who are out to protect the Old Firm and have no respect or indeed care for Scottish Football. This would be a clear dereliction of duties.

I read that earlier. Nice that he speaks of Inverness so highly. maybe when Aberdire are relegated next season he will move back

I stuck it in here because the press had confirmed contact had been made The other thread was a poster saying he wouldnt mind Cox coming back Mods - feel free to move/merge/delete as appropriate

Forres v ICT - Wednesday 11th GAME OFF - waterlogged pitch http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/543-pre-season-friendlies-update

Todays press reporting that Terry enquired to Swindon about bringing Lee Cox back to the club on a loan deal but was told that a fee would be required to bring him back. That ended the interest Lee Cox was a useful player but looking at the current squad there are far more important areas to strengthen before centre midfield. Left back, centre half and right wing/striker should be priorities IMO

Terrys column in todays Press and Journal indicates a few more moves in the transfer market. He says that the expects to hear back early this week from a player that has been earmarked for a while, sounds like the player has quite a few options so we'll have to wait and see on that one. He says he has one other target but also expects to make two other signings. Our defensive options at the weekend sounded pretty bare so i'm sure Terry will be identifying some defensive recruits. If as the article suggests we are going to be making 4 new additions then a left back, a centre half, a striker and a winger would be my preference in guys coming in

Similarities between Kirk and Doncaster?

anyone know anything about M Cooper and K Buchan? Youth players? trialists?
