Libero

i didnt realise that 100 Scottish caps was seen as some seal of quality. Silly me! :018: Before making sarcastic replies SMEE please note: Knowhere on this thread will you find a comment or viewpoint of mine on the qualities, or otherwise, of Darren Fletcher. I read a few of the papers today and noted that all the pundits are saying that a certain Darren Fletcher is one of the best players ever to pull on a Scotland shirt and that he has the potential to beat Dalglish's record of 100 caps. I then read through this thread and am left wondering if there's two darren fletchers. Sir Alex, George Burley, football pundits across the country?? pah!! what do they know, Darren Fletcher is guff imagine someone like ronaldo keeping him out of the team, he must be useless then :thumb04:

we already have 4 strikers at the club, Rooney, Barrowman, Wood and Mcallister, 5 if you include Imrie. agree with the centre half and either a defensive or attacking midfielder to add depth to the squad.

Everyone travelling on the Supporters' Bus must join the Suppoeters' Club. out of interest why do people wishing to use the supporters bus have to be a member of the supporters club?

wood double for us, McGuire sent off official report

our second team were 2 nil up after 10 minutes but lost 3-2, not sure of any other details though

completely agree. he hasnt been up to his usual standards in his last couple of Scotland games but a highly influential player who i have no doubt will do us proud when he pulls on the captains armband.

Yes i agree , i'd drop Mcguire for Munro Yup, Munro and Duff any chance of adding a poll?

Phew. Anyone know how long is left?

i'd go with a combination of the latter two suggestions as been hugely contributing factors

agreed but if it is a choice between having Cowie in the centre and Wilson or Zander wide right or cowie on the right with Vigurs playing in the centre then i would certainly go with the latter. IMO Barry is best coming off the bench for the last 20 as an impact player and i'm yet to be convinced that Zander has what it takes to command a regular starting berth in right mid at the moment, given time i hope and believe Zander will come good, just not yet.

Fraser Tokely Duff Hastings Djebi-Zadi Cowie Black Vigurs Imrie Rooney Barrowman

inverness courier has a quote from brewster: ' he's just not big enough and i'm looking for someone with a bit more presence' at least he's looking and looking for the right type of player

still no photos?

will be interesting to see who comes in for Duncan, whether they go 4-4-2 with rooney replacing him or go for a midfield replacement which ir more likely. would like to see Vigurs get a chance personally

somehow missed this up until now, it would seem Livi have enquired as to the availability of Elliot on loan, would probably suit Elliot more in a geogrpahical sense to move to Livi. story here on last nights showing however i have a little more confidence that Mcallister and Wood are capable of doing a job for us so not as worried about being light on options up front.

couldnt agree more!

Message to Brewster ..... Jimmy Johnstone (5'4"), Gordon Strachan (5'6"), George Best (5'8") ... just 3 who have done ok in scottish football over the years despite their vertical challenges !!!! and lets not even go there with Maradona, Messi, Best, Scholes, Saviola, Davids, Owen and others who have all been on the short side !!! If you are good enough, you are tall enough .... especially if ICT play it on the deck instead of hoofing high balls !!! therein lies the problem!!!

cant say i agree with the criticism Barrowman is getting, it is blatantly clear that Andy is the type of player that will not thrive on long high punts up the park, he is the type of player who will get us goals when balls are played on the deck in behind defenders. his goal against aberdeen is a prime example of this. i could not understand why this tactic was employed for literally the entire 90 minutes when it was clear that the hamilton defence were lapping it up. big tall defenders love high balls played to them but its when its played at pace on the deck that they struggle, thats basic football knowledge.

Rooney! Rooney!

Much as I like Hastings as a full back, he was dreadful as a central defender against Hearts at the last visit to Tynecastle. I would much rather stick with McGuire. our choices for CB are Hastings, Djebi-Zadi or Duff, despite having a mare against the jam tarts i think hastings can efficiently deputise in that position. i still think Duff and indeed Djebi-Zadi are too inexperienced to stick in the heart of our defence. Hastingas has played on numerous occasions for Canada so he should know the position and what is required of him. i foresee and indeed would be happy with a back four of: Tokely McGuire Hastings McBain

Hastings to centre half and Mcbain to left back. imrie to left mid, cowie to right mid and Rooney & Barrowman up front
