Has done many times for Hibs, and played there v. Croatia... setting up Kenny Miller's equaliser. When did scotland play croatia??? This time last year, Hampden. 1-1.

To answer a few points... Commons is 100% left footed, but he isn't afraid of using his right foot; very decent cross of the ball with both feet. He is playing just off the strikers for Derby County at the moment, but has been used on both wings by club and country. Naysmith is a weak link, but has experience on his side for this important game. I'd like to see Alexander playing left back, as he has shown twice against France that he is more than capable of shackling players that look to cut inside. McAllister has been playing very well for Bristol for more than a couple of seasons and deserves to be in the squad. Broadfoot and Barr are in the squad for versatility and experience respectively. They are backups and will be warming the bench for both games, unless injury and suspension kick in. Gary O'Connor isn't in the squad because he's only just come back from 5 months out injured. Came on as a sub for last 20mins in the last Birmingham game. He still needs to prove he has the right attitude, after all the messing about he did in the last campaign. Our centre defence will be Weir and McManus, as Burley has an agreement with Weir that he'll only call him up if he plans on playing him. As a result it'll be Caldwell sitting in front of the defence instead of Hartley, as Caldwell has done for Celtic recently and he did v. France at home. Injuries permitting the team will be -----------------------Gordon------------------------- Hutton--------Weir--------------McManus-----Naysmith ----------------------Caldwell-------------------------- -------Fletcher------Ferguson--------Brown-------- ---------------------Commons----------------------- ---------------------Miller----------------------------

Left footed outfield players: Commons, S.Fletcher, McAllister, Naysmith, McManus, Berra. Get yourself checked out if you think our players should merit a place in that squad! Esson and Black perhaps as backups, but GK and Midfield are Scotland's best covered positions. I'd gladly have any of those players in an ICT shirt (even Broadfoot!), as they are better quality than we have currently.

Poor old Dorus De Vries letting Hasting's tame free kick go straight through him, which in the end contributed to Dunfermline's relegation...

I like it!

Brilliant touch and run from Dargo! If (a big IF) St Mirren get through, fingers crossed we don't mess up!

When Butcher was appointed and got the draw against Celtic in his first game, I agreed that if he guided us to SPL safety I would wear a bloodstained England top (with matching headband) for 1 hour at work, where anyone who wanted to take a photo, could. I've recently found out that one of the Office worker's sons is a reporter for the Evening Express... and has said that he would be well up for doing a wee story and photoshoot, if we end up safe. Drat!! I did a similar thing for the Scotland v. Italy game last Nov, where I agreed to get a 'back, sack and crack' wax for the Sunshine Appeal Charity, if Scotland won. I'll wait to see if we make the final before any other 'bright ideas'!!

What did I do?

A copy of my Celebration update on another forum I use in Abdn: Ankle is in the champagne ice bucket trying to reduce the swelling; gained from victimisation on the 5-aside pitch (Team Highlander still secure 2nd spot on the final game of the season!!); bottle of champagne (been on ice since Scotland v. Italy Nov 2007) is nearly finished; and i'm loving the threads on PieandBovril.com and Caleythistleonline.com! Away to make sure i've got my ICT strip ready for tomorrow at work and waiting patiently for the highlights to appear on bbc.co.uk/football. My ankle ligaments and burst lip are mega sore, but tonight has been immense

Neither can I~!!! And i'm the teacher!!! Definitely taking in my ICT top

Andy Fordham, Graham Dott, Queen Elizabeth, plenty of students at my school... Just opened the champagne which has been on ice since the Scotland v. Italy game in Nov 2007... EDIT: A Tina Turner advertisement just came on tv!!! Simply the best!?!?!? Hahahahahaha!!!

And why would that be? As a double act they seem to be great... however, both have struggled as a solo manager. My main concern is if Butcher moves on and Malpas is installed as manager in his own right. Never mind all that though! Lets focus on positivity today

Any excuse to get a picture of our new TA branch flag uploaded... 'Hope' they do start together...

Surprised that Mogwai are playing this year. It must have something to do with Blur playing, due to Mogwai's celebrated 'Blur are sh**e' t-shirts around the 1999 time. The last time I went was 2003 and haven't felt the need to go back again. The once excellent stages King Tuts and Radio 1, which held then unknown bands like Muse, My Vitriol, Idlewild, Symposium, Biffy Clyro, A, Seafood and Lemon Jelly... are now filled with utter dross pop/indie bands like the Ting Tings. Can't believe how much it has changed since the first T in the Park

Just started listening to them. Really really liking them Good stuff. If you haven't done so already, start listening to Hot Club de Paris, Johnny Foreigner and Hooray for Humans :thumb04:

Recent purchases: Young Widows- crunching rock, similar to the likes of Shellac and Ex Models. The Joy Formidable - cheery indie-electro-pop in the vein of Johnny Foreigner and Hooray for Humans Best of the Wildhearts - the third time i've had to buy this album as my previous 2 copies have broke and gone missing! Telefon Tel Aviv - new album which sounds a bit like Royksopp meets Fennesz and Hammock. Nice laptop-influenced electronica

funnily enough i might make this game as i'll be heading back from MUNICH having been to see the mighty AC/DC... :thumb04: :018: I wonder if we'll be 'Back in Black' away strips for this game...

How did Kerr play today? He wasn't mentioned much on the radio. Looking forward to the highlights

Hibs with a glaring miss...!! If we get a 2nd I fancy us to hold on for the win. I'll be biting my nails until then...

It had a positive effect the last time... U.N.D.E.R. T.H.E. C.O.S.H.
