Harry Chibber

Yogi is a muppet!! As long as Latapy is kept quiet there is no reason we can't get 3 points out of this

You can't go to Ibrox expecting anything but a good performance, the last 2 seasons we have been exceptional against Rangers and have shown that they are nothing to fear but if we get anything from this it will be a bonus. Agree.. I expect 3 points Going to be an extremely difficult game they play with 3 at the back, which is ideal for an opposing team if they have good wingers so we need a massive performance from Wilson. I'm sure Tokely will be up for it aswell!! 6 points would be a great achievment and will hoist us up the table. After these 3 games we will have a clear view of how our season is going to progress, every team will have played each other so hopefully we have creeped into the top six after the Falkirk game. :001:

cheeky ba5tard :003:

When did we sign Ferguson Harry? :015: :015: :015: Wilson!! I obviously have the up coming Scotland game in my head Letting your true colours show their Mr Chibber :024: What a Scotland fan?? Yes.... it's true... I'm so ashamed!! :017: :017: .... and no I wouldn't pi55 on Ibrox if it was burning to the ground. The only red & blue I'll ever wear will have an ICT badge on it. :006: :006: :006:

:003: :003: :003: :003: :003: especially happy that Rory is being offered a new contract

:notworthy01: :notworthy01: What rubbish

:016:

If people are suggesting that he has to adapt his game to the SPL while playing in the centre, it is no different for if he plays out wide. In the St Mirren game when he started out wide it seemed that Golly was trying to get forward whenever possible, which gave Rankin no chance but to drift inside but when he did get into the final 3rd out wide he always looked capable of putting in a cross, or as he showed, setting up a goal. He would have more freedom on the left wing and it would be better for him to play there and get his confidence, we have more than enough cover in the centre of the park but at the moment (infact, since Robson left) nothing seems to be coming from the wide left. Centre mid might be his preferred position but at the moment I don't think we have a better option

couldn't get tickets no happy :008: :008:

Looking forward to it! +2/3

When did we sign Ferguson Harry? :015: :015: :015: Wilson!! I obviously have the up coming Scotland game in my head

He has played on the left for 1 GAME!!!

You got all this from 1 game?? He could drift inside for 88 minutes in match as long as he makes 1 of those killer passes that he made for Dargo. You can't really expect a player making his debut for a club to strike up a partnership with any player on the pitch. IMO he is one of the most technical players we have next to Barry Ferguson Wilson and although his crossing is sometimes hot & cold he is more likely to deliver a decent ball than McBain and seems to have more pace and skill than Morgan. I think one of the major reasons the team hasn't gelled in midfield this season is that CC has McBain & Rankin's positions the wrong way round. That will come with confidence, when he gets one goal the rest will follow

"It was thought the arrival of Rankin in July would solve the problematic position on the left-hand side of midfield given the 23-year-old had played their various times during his three-year stint with local rivals Ross County." "He can play on the left-hand side, but if you put him out there then you lose his natural energy in the middle of the park where it is best utilised. Players like John and Roy McBain offer us a bit of flexibility in that they can play out left, plus we also have Alan Morgan, who I'm now really looking at to take the next step and stake his claim for a place in the team." from the Courier article I know what you are saying RIG but the one game that Rankin did play out wide he showed how effective he can be by setting up a goal for Dargo, surely he has got to be our best option out left at the moment!!

What sounds like a good idea? Playing Rankin on the wing?? - I have to agree, for his crossing if not anything else!!

Certainly would!! RIG - Rankin is obviously putting his extra wages to good use by visiting the tanning salon on a more frequent basis... not up to the tango man's very standard yet though!!

Definately could do a job for us, hopefully Parkie might come in useful and tempt him up North. Would be a perfect signing for the fact he can cover left wing aswell as play upfront get him signed!!

I started a thread about the same thing on PnB but with Quashie missing the game at the weekend because of injury he is one of the few players in the sqaud with any real experience. I'd expect a 5-3-2 with: Gordon Daily Caldwell Pressley Weir Alexander Fletcher Ferguson Hartley McFadden O'Connor/Boyd

:015: :015: Tokely could 'ave him easy!! Now you just need to do one with Tokely balleyt dancing :004:

always 1!! yeh someone else pointed it out on PnB. I pasted it from the SFA site so blame them

You know what I meant :015:

It is not as though you are no longer permitted into the stadium for the game. Really the situation is, they have given you 5 weeks notice that a game will be played on a Monday instead of a Saturday (no different from when a game is usually postponed due to a European fixture) and just in-case you can't make the match you have the chance to watch the game live on television... they should be wearing ski-masks!! Can't really disagree with any of that. As I've said already it's not at all ideal at the moment but as much as I hate to say it Sky Sports and the EPL have showed that it does work. It is down to the SFA to produce a product that a company like Sky (who seem to care about the leagues they invest in) will invest serious money into and that's simply not going to happen when there are only 12 teams in our Premier league. :008: :008: :008: :008: I don't appreciate you trying to twist my words, if Gringo thought I was insulting him or trying to rub it in his face (which I wasn't) I'm sure he is more than capable of telling me that himself. I was just explaining the simple fact that the club or any business infact caters for the majority - that's just the way things work I'm afraid. I am in no way trying to suggest he is any less of a fan, infact with the amount of work he puts in on this website each week with his prediction league I'm sure he puts in more effort than most.

From possibly the scariest expression I've ever seen to ballet dancer [edit - change 'balley' to ballet to save you a slagging ... or did you mean belly ?]
