The wife said no. :moon: Errr the wife said no you've got piles?

Hope that is just a keyboard slip and not a reference to donkeys or the like.... Nah, Tade is away to Saints...

Yep, agree with most of the comments, but thought Draper was too slack in the first half and gave away a lot of passes, sorted hinself out a wee bit in the second half, not sure whether he is totally fit yet. Cooper was pretty good, looked assured on the ball and away very little in both positions he played. Oswell might turn out to be a great signing, made some good runs and took his goal very well, with Doran starting to look more dangerous as the game went on they could be a good pairing for next season as they linked up quite well. However the down side.... Shane is looking more and more out of place on the wing, was so ineffective today it was scary how TB could come out with his comment in the press the other day. G Shinnie is also a wee concern, looks fine going forward, but defensively is suspect and got spoken too a couple of times by Foran. Overall a good display, and i'm pretty optimistic about the coming season.

How did McKay and Sutherland get on? Heard Shane missed the barn door with a shotgun...

Hey its fine, and - no confusion as we will the ONLY team in the SPL wearing light blue!!!!!

1st div success is so different to SPL survival, as Dunfermline found out last season. Teams require players who can perform at a higher standard and they cost more money, bigger crowds (old firm visits) require much more policing etc. However as there has not been any club relegated and gone bust because either of the old firm have not been present in the SPL the question is hypothetical and worthy only of pure speculation.

Sounds interesting... but i dont see any mention of pre match refresements at the Innes bar!

Dont know why everybody is so surprised at this statement, most SPL chairmen would agree and only KC's timing is out.

Which confirms my belief that the 'Sporting Integrity' corporate phrase has been misused by certain people in an attempt to show fans they are important when its now becoming glaringly obvious money is more important than integrity.

Aye but that taxi ride ended up going the opposite way that you wanted to go eh?

Pretty naive for everybody to think Integrity would overrule money!

There is only so far any club can go down the 'Sporting integrity' bullshit road before the 'Sporting Finance' road block happens. its the real feckin world! Money rules! Cameron may well have been led down the S.I. road by the powers of SPL SFA with the promise that Newco would be 'placed' into div 1, Now its not happened the panic starts and we will no doubt hear about re-structure - quite soon. Our finances are not 'Solely' dependant on Rangers being in the SPL but by feck they are quite obviously a big part of it and may well affect clubs in the central belt more than us. Its a feckin mess and we should bin SPL,SFA SFL and start again with one governing body.

You've got to laugh...... or is that cry!

We have been saying that Shane is pysh on the wing for a long time, i really cant believe that TB still plays him wide! its one of those things that make me think that sometimes Tel has not a clue how to get the best out of some players.

TB says in todays Pysh and Drivel thats he's aiming to sign 1 player this week, and is considering player Meekings in central defence after Warren got injured last night, Jeez i am really getting worried about the season ahead... should i be?

Cant see why we would need any more midfielders like Cox, NEED s striker to score goals and a defender!

Lastest research from the institute of wee beasties in Kinlochbervie has found that short fat men are more prone to tick infestation in the lower regions.

Aye, you lads stick up for yerselves!!!!

Even by his own admission he was absolutely woeful yesterday. Totally off the pace, misplacing passes almost every time and missing tackles regularly. Maybe MissICT was referring to his looks?

No Chris Hogg eh? hellofa lean in defence-thats a worry if TB is only looking at a striker and winger.

Count me and Caleystan for one each!!!!

Jeez give the bloke a chance, he's not even settled in and you are accusing him of wanting away!!!

Still no sign of a striker heading our way! Does this mean we are going to only have wee mackay and Shane to provide the goal threat this season?

Aye, and we are using Shane in a Xavi role?

That make 12 without counting kids, if he adds 7 more its still going to be a very thin squad next season.
