Is it the case if a player is under 24 years the club is entitled to compensation?

Should be a cracker. Ideally what I want is Gretna and County level at 1-1 St. J 0-0. Airdrie losing 1-0. Happy faces at Dingwall until the 88th minute when St. J score, Airdrie score. The perfect day. County go down and St. J go up wiping that arrogant smile of Rowan Alexanders face

George Adams on announcing Leitch as County manager

David Taylor - Head of SFA Does he have a clue? I hope I'm wrong. Maybe I misheard as I would like to have a little more faith in him, but did he say last night during the draw that Celtic were the cup holders? I'm sure I remember Hearts beating Gretna last year! Says a lot for his grasp of the game and respect for the comp.

:015: Well he did. Pity it was in his own net !! :015:

Pointed out on Sunday that Strachan is a dead ringer for Chesney from Coronation street. :015: Any others?

Like he say's eh. Gowser's nay gona go unlez Frankie Lampard comes in tay Falkirk.

F.A.O. Mr John Collins " Hibs. The greatest pub team in the world". Who is it next week John? Home to the Waterfront Bar?

If you want a big name then look no further than: Dimitrious Konstantopolous ! Hartlepool keeper who apparently wants to leave Victoria Park.

McNee has to be contoversial. That is his syle. TV or Print. If he can say something that winds others up he is happy as there is more chance of him getting back on TV time and time again. The man is a *** and he knows he is a ***. He doesn't believe or agree with what he say's. He, like Mr Speirs, just wants to appear to be different.

Alec Miller is a name that has not been mentioned. Maybe not for the number 1 job, but perhaps something in the background? He has an excellent reputation as a coach with Liverpool. Benitez is under a little pressure, so when the new owners take over and if things don't improve as they would like will he be on his way? Would Miller jump before he is pushed?

The only mugging was once again on the pitch! :008:

I couldn't care less about half time entertainment. It's pre and post half time entertainment I want.

That's why I think he's set for Newcastle. They are looking for a midfielder. It's not that far away and has a strong Scottish connection. If he was to go back to the Premiership. That's the ideal place for him.

Ferguson - bound for Newcastle.

Black is a decent player at times, if and when he can control himself. The answer is send him to a sports psychologist. It worked wonders for Bayne and for his confidence. If Black can get some anger management sessions he is not a player I would want to lose. It all comes down to him and what he wants. The club can only do so much to support him.

Should we be having a look in the Irish Leagues? So many good players have come out of there for next to nothing prices and who are keen to move across the water. Nothing wrong in having a look. Who knows? We may find a bargain.

When Big Duncan shearer was playing for us he was taken out by someone (can't remember who). Cue " Ref, he can't foul him. That's our International" Playing Dundee Utd in cup replay up here. Tommy MacLean was the manager at the time. We had to sit right next to the Utd fans and had to put up with their crap. As MacLean the Hamster was ranting on and getting more and more wound up it was the chant " MacLean get back in your wheel".

I thought we played quite well, mostly. We were victims of a mugging. Not by Kilmarnock but that joke of a ref who can't be called biased. It goes further than that :008: What I didn't get was Tokely coming off. I'm not a fan of Caff in the middle. He seems lost sometimes. If he was going to play 3 at the back then why not have Tokely, Dods and Munro? Also Tokely gives that extra attack by getting forward whereas Caff only sits back. It seemed CC didn't have the bottle to take Caff off after him only being on for 25/30 mins or whatever it was. Nothing wrong with a tactical move like that sometimes. Not happy with the result but the performance was ok. Denzil and Dargo looked quite good together. If we play like that next week (with a decent ref) then surely we can win.

Alex MacLeod we are all entitled to our opinion and that is the beauty of this site. Perhaps I didn't get my point over the way I would have liked, maybe more in my frustration after the game. However that does not entitle anybody to question my support for the team as you put in your reply. I am passionate in my support of the team and have spent thousands following the team home and away over the last few seasons as well as buying shirts etc. Add to that on many occasions paying for hospitailty out of my own pocket, not as a corporate deal, to give the club a few extra pounds. Buggering up my work roster, family holidays and other events all in the name of supporting my team I think that allows me to be called a true fan of the club. I think CC is doing a good job but there are still times when I'm not happy with what he says. I'll say no more about this then.

Don't know about others but I'm getting a bit hacked off with CC and some of his recent comments. Today he said he was pleased that we managed to contain a team like Hearts for so long in the game. It was the same the other week when we blew a win against Aberdeen. He came out and said that although he was disappointed he was pleased that we could hold our our own against a team like Aberdeen. CC. We are in the same league as them. We have had better results before so should we accept not winning just because other teams are Bigger than us. We have good players, a good team and are more than capable of beating anyone in the league. Have a bit more self belief please. If we follow your rule then we should be happy with a point against Motherwell, D. Utd, Pars etc as they are more established clubs, arguably. Times change and we are a well established SPL club now. No more of this negative stuff please.

I have little time for either of the Old Firm. Which seems more Scottish? It is certainly not Celtic. Walking to the game last week proved that to me. Over the top with their Irish connections. Tricolours everywhere outside the ground, fiddlers on street corners and Eire shirts all around. Inside the ground there was more of the same, tricolours hanging from every corner of every stand and sectarian songs been sung. To top it, outside there was some guy handing out leaflets about freeing some republican prisoner. Think back to the Uefa cup final a couple of years ago. How many saltires were seen amonst the 20,000 odd 'Tic supporters? One ! Rab Douglas getting slated by his own fans because he had the audacity to take a saltire towel into his goal to dry his gloves. He never did again! Celtic fans turning their back on the Scotland national side because they have no interest in them but go in their tens of thousands to watch an Eire friendly game at Celtic Park! So are Celtic Scottish? They don't seem keen on showing it. Maybe they should follow the example of Hearts and have a saltire on the back of their shirts. How Scottish is that? :thumb04:

EWS exactly! :clapping04:

fitting that they should get their win by carrying on from Saturday. Diving . Cheating Ba##### :008:
