  1. Butcher on Thomas Piermayr:

    Taken from internet highland news report here: http://www.highland-news.co.uk/Sport/Football/Butcher-targets-Austrian-full-back-7046137.htm

    "I was very pleased with Thomas. He's sharp, quick and is a good passer of the ball. Right-back is his best position, but he can play left-back. His English is good, he has a good touch and fine understanding of his position. He rattled a few Buckie Thistle players because they were rattling him, which was great, he's got a bit of steel to him.

    "He had two games in four days. He played for Kilmarnock on Saturday, so he was starting to feel the effects of those at the end of the Buckie match. He hasn't done a lot of pre-season training, but he's played more than 60 games for Linz in the Austrian league and he's been an under-21 international, so he has quality.

    "He's desperate to do well, he had a contract at Linz, but he wants to play in the UK to broaden his horizons, so we'll see. He'll train with the first-team this week and we can see the quality that he has and then have a chat with him and his agent."

  2. This is the same OP that on the Aldershot game thread says "We should be pummeling these teams into the ground". I think he has rose tinted specs on as to the standard of SPL football. I don't think a bottom 6 SPL side is a superior side to a English second division side. I think much of this is down to money, I remember Brewster complaining that many Blue Square clubs could pay higher wages than the likes of us. Thankfully, we only have to compete with those around us and they have no money either. I'm optimistic about next season.

  3. "Bottom line is that he has a history of poor discipline and I doubt whether TB will or should stand for this." IHE

    I don't think Butcher would see it this way. Given our club captain was a bit wild in his young days and was rehab'ed by Butcher and his loan signing of Philip Morris when nobody else would touch him due to the fact i've heard he had previous for assaulting a bouncer in Edinburgh casino. I think Butcher would have given the lad a chance....

  4. There would have been a pretty substantial offer on the table for Rooney. With him turning it down and no other more established players signed since Rooney made it clear he was not staying, there should be some reasonable money available to attract someone decent.

    One would have thought so, but I've just read an article that says we lost out on Terry Gornell the young striker we were due to sign from Accrington Stanley because a fee was payable due to his age and we couldn't afford it! Hope this is not true. What about the Marius money we ended up not needing.. where did that go.. ?

  5. Standing near the ICT dugout during the Elgin game you could hear Terry was making an extra effort to encourage this young lad. Given that he has had a run out in all three friendly games now, I think Terry see's something in him. But at 5 foot zero ? you are clearly at a disadvantage to defenders when it comes to the long ball & ariel ability. Having said that his ball control and passing seem better than many in the team and he was keen to run at defenders and try to get past them. Good luck to the boy.

  6. The Record also carry's this article : "Motherwell striker Michael Higdon: I could have made more money in England but I wanted to play at highest level"

    In which Michael says that Crawley Town had offered him more money to go there, but he'd rather play at a higher level. So it looks like Adam was there second choice to Higdon. Our new striker Terry Gornell (Finger crossed we get him) comes I think from League 2 and see's us as a step up... I guess it is all about the money !

  7. Surely that's the last striker we are gonna sign we now have foran tade Shane and gornell

    Time to focus on defense

    I agree that defence is an absolute must to be strengthened but i dont necessarily think that Butcher has finished with strengthening up front. Foran and Sutherland were rarely played as out and out strikers last season and while both can play there Butcher has used them more as either wide players or behind the striker. Last season we had Rooney, Foran, Sutherland, Sanchez, Odhiambo, Alex Macdonald who were all classed as forwards. This season we have (so far) Tade, Gornell, Foran and Sutherland so i can see another striker coming in

    Don't forget Gil Blumenshtein !! everyone else has lol

  8. You could try putting it on the net via wired lan and then visiting the windows update site and seeing if it will find a driver for you..

    Whilst machine is on via wired lan, you could probably download some kind of freeware program (googles your friend here!, ) that identify the components in the laptop. It may be the case that the wireless card in the laptop has been swapped out for a different model than the swl2700m you think it has, hence why it won't install driver. Thinking about it. I take it you can see the device as a ? in device manager?

  9. What I'm finding a little worrying (I've just found out) and no one on here seems to be talking about is talking, is that Foran, Hayes and Proctor are all carrying knee injurys and are not going down south for the Fleetwood game. Heres , hope these guys get over these injurys soon enough to get at least some pre season/fitness before the league starts.

  10. Sensible decision Foran is a inspirational and natural leader. Granty is a pro, but lacks the natural ability to lead. IMHO. Last season it was at many times like having two captains on the park... a situation that potentialy could have caused problems.

  11. Hiya Smee,

    Here is what I would do.

    1)Take the side off the case

    2) look at the motherboard

    3) identify make & model number

    4) Go to manufacturers web site

    5) Go to support/drivers/motherboards/ model number.

    6) Download audio driver (for operating system you are using)

    7) Install driver

    Sometimes you also need to install the Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) patch from microsoft.
