Is P/T football heading for the SPL?
There have been part-time teams in the Scottish top flight within my lifetime, at a time when Scottish football was in a far better state than it is now.

Tokely memorable moments
His overhead kick against Dundee United was magnificent. Also, when we beat Dunfermline on penalties in the league cup, he chipped in the winning spot kick, tremendous. The way he ran around kicking DeMarcus Beasley all game against Rnagers a few seasons ago was quite funny but less so when we got hammered.

Are you worried ? - I feckin am
Tade and Hayes contributed more than twenty goals in terms of goals and assists and we are losing both of them to competing SPL teams. We are relying on our manager to bring in players who can replace them and Butcher hasn't done as well as you'd like in the past few windows. One blessing could be that we have players who hardly played last season who could step up and be excellent for us in Doran and Shinnie.

Robbie Keane is world champion at this.

Tabloid speak
My all time favourites are: 'Beaks' as in "Derek Adams was hauled in front of the beaks to recieve another twenty match ban yesterday". 'Foreign crack(s)' as in "Celtic were dumped out of Europe by foreign cracks Athletico Kebab yesterday" or "Rangers were linked with crack Italian striker Carlos Kickaball last night"

Rangers Newco with no sanctions
You can't stop going, who will I sit and be negative with? if Rangers get allowed back in the SPL, we should buy top class players, run up massive debts and form a newco every season.

It's a difficult thing - we've had players in the past who have been convicted of criminal offences. Do you say that you don't want any ex-offenders playing football, where do you draw the line? Even if people commit horrible crimes, the vast majority of prisoners are released into society and have to make a living. This was posted on P&B and a Morton fan raised Alan Lithgow. He was convicted of flashing a series of young women but was kept on by Clyde and subsequently went on trial at Morton, where a lot of their fans weren't in favour of him signing. He went to Dumbarton where he's been a stand out and helped them to Division One for the first time in 16 years. Watching the play off on the telly at the weekend I don't think many Sons fans were complaining!

Salt v Sauce - predictions?
Hibs best player was James McPake, who is a loanee. Ian Murray is pish. Just because he shaved 1973 into his boff and kicked Ian Black a few times doens't mean he'd have done any better. Hibs really are terrible.

2011/12 player stats
Are you suggesting that Gavin Morrison should've been played in place of Richie Foran? Foran has played well in midfield, although he was poor by his standards at the start of the season while playing up front. Another stat - Jonny Hayes had the joint fourth most assists in the SPL last season, with nine. That's the same as Paul Dixon and below Anthony Stokes (10), Kris Commons (12) and Steven Davis (13). Fantastic record for the wee man, especially considering the three players above him all finished in the top four and all played full seasons with the Old Firm.

Stuart Armstrong's family moved to Dundee, that's why he left. http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=124&ID=361

I don't want to seem as though I'm denigrating our youth players or those who work with them but the fact is that none of the youth players who have been released have gone on to have a career at anything like a level approaching the SPL. We have a very difficult job with youth players, we don't have a massive budget and we don't have a big population centre as a catchment area. When you compare the historic level of youth players in our team to how many we have now we're actually doing pretty well - Nick Ross, Graeme Shinnie and Shane Sutherland are all regulars in the first team, and Ross and Shinnie are representing Scotland at Under 21 level.

The vast majority of our Under 19s end up getting released, the same with every other Under 19 squad in the country. This is the same every year.

Ross Tokely thinking of bowing out
When did he make his debut for us, anyone? I'm pretty sure I saw it, a lanky 17 year old playing left midfield at Telford Street.

Fans Event Ideas
- Fans pay £50 to emulate Jonny Hayes and have a square go with Richie Foran. First fan to last a minute going toe-to-toe with the Foranator wins a coconut. - CaleyD challenge: fans and players pay £25 each and have to read three of CaleyD's posts in a row without falling asleep. Winner gets years supply of Nytol. This challenge will require strict drug testing for Pro-Plus, cocaine and crystal meth. - Renegade XI. All the players Renegade has suggested we sign are recruited to play in a charity match against Caley Thistle. Fans flock for miles around to see how that eight foot tall Norwegian whaler works alongside Tana Umanga up front. - Ross County charity approach. We charge everyone £20 for, er, y'know, eh. Yep. - Everyone pays Johndo £10 to go a week without insinuating that he has insider information from within the club. The accuracy of Johndo's 'exclusives/windups/pish' will remain the same for this week. - Instead of TopSixNextYear putting bets on Caley winning 7-1 and Shane Sutherland to score hat-tricks, he donates all his bets for a month to the club. We now have more money than Manchester City and Ladbrokes are bankrupt. - ALternative Maryhill enters a 'Jesus and Mary Chain' look-a-like competition and wins £5 for the club. Sadly it's wasted when the result ofthe competition descends into a massive riot and everyone gets killed.

Possible Transfer Targets
We have absolutely zero chance of signing Ian Black. Literally none.

Butcher wants Tansey and McKay to stay
McKayis a hard-working, line leader not a goalscorer. I think he's a decent player, could be more valuable with a proper pre-season under his belt. Tansey is a strange one. He looks like a good player and can move the ball with purpose, break well and has a decent shot. I think he's been disappointing in that he hasn't put performances together and really dominated games. He should be the heartbeat of a side but all too often he's been a 6/10 sort of player. I wouldn't be averse to offering him a new deal, although I think he might want to go back to England. Did we not get him on a free because of cross border contract rules?

Seasons stats
That's a good point, we are limited in that we can only give 2500 odd tickets to the Old Firm. I probably can't talk about this much as I haven't made it to a home game this season :o You do have to ask where the 1000 fans who came in 2005/06 are now, although some of the attendances that season were very similar to the crowds we've drawn this time out.

Football was brilliant in the lower leagues. I feel sorry for the people who go to games now that didn't then. In the second and third divisions you used to turn up expecting a 4-0 win every week.
