  1. His best bet would be to restart his career abroad. (Perhaps in a country where his crimes don't even register on the depravity scale, like Belgium or Austria.)
  2. Careful now, they'll be getting messages from Craig Thomson.
  3. Over the years we must have played dozens of HL teams in pre-season friendlies. How many times have we lost? I know the results hardly matter, but I'm struggling to think of any defeats, in recent years at least. I know we are the pro team and expect to win all these games, but when we are usually fielding an understrength, experimental and relatively unfit team, it's a bit of a leveller. When the boot was on the other foot, I can remember pre-merger Caley dishing out defeats to the likes of Hearts.
  4. Messi is 5'7", but I think Maradona is even smaller at 5'5". Two of the greatest players the world has ever seen. But I bet you if they'd been raised in Scotland, their clubs would have released them by the time they were 18!
  5. Glad to hear good things about a youngster at the club, sounds like he has talent. But at the risk of sounding negative, if he's as small as people are saying, how realistic is it that he will make it as a pro? Lightweight players can always bulk up a bit, slow players can work on speed, but it's not so easy to overcome a 'vertical' challenge. How many successful small players have there been in the SPL? I hope to see him play sometime and wish him continued progress. Onwards and upwards!
  6. Andrew Shinnie? Can't believe there hasn't been any mention of him on the forum
  7. I can't help recalling the milk advert from the 1980's that went "Accrington Stanley? Who are they?" "Exactly!" Basically the message to kids was that if you don't drink milk, you'll be a rubbish footballer and play for Accrington rather than Liverpool. Mr Gornell was obviously too young to have heeded the message.
  8. He has recently turned down the offer of a 2 year extension, and was reportedly interesting MK Dons and Crewe. Hibs were apparently having him watched last season too.
  9. Good win. To celebrate I'm off to Asda to hand over ?10 for a ?2 punnet of strawberries.

    Looks like we've been interested in him for a few months. Terry's status at Ipswich may have helped swing this one. ICT v Torquay?
  11. I'd be pretty confident that there are senior officials at Hearts who would agree that the lack of action against Craig Thomson is a disgrace.
  12. Plenty of other SPL clubs have experimented over the years. Sadly, lowering ticket prices simply results in less overall income for clubs.
  13. Viz top tip : Can't get Wimbledon tickets? Replicate the experience at home by laughing and cheering whenever a pigeon lands on your lawn.
  14. If, as expected by many, Colin Calderwood finally leaves Hibs, it would appear from their forums that the first choice of the fans at the moment is our Terry.
  15. 5'9" is small for a defender, but he must be pretty darn good to have come close to making the grade at Arsenal. His last club seems to have been Portland Timbers in the MLS (who I see Adam Moffat, ex County and Elgin, plays for). I'm sure plenty of other SPL teams would like to have him on trial, so Terry has done well just to get him here for a look. He seems to have a pedigree that is as high as we can realistically expect to attract, but we'll see how his Champions League credentials shape up at Grant Street! Hopefully he makes more of an impact than the last vertically challenged Arsenal reject we got.
  16. Hearts fans must be really proud of all this.
  17. A Scotland Olympic team could do well if only they would introduce some more contemporary events. We're not just good at heart disease I don't see how the Scottish football team could be abolished because of this when FIFA happily recognises numerous much less credible "nations". However, the politics of FIFA are such that they wouldn't hesitate to reduce the relative power of the home nations if they got a sniff of a chance.
  18. Hmmm, not sure. White again, yawn. Harmless though, and I'm sure I'll grow to like it like I have done with most other tops.
  19. No, it makes it more understandable!

    If it is him, and from that photo I'm not sure it is, he is a French forward who had unsuccesful trials with St Mirren and Killie last summer. Here is a compilation of his time in the Belgian Second Division at SK Ronse. Nothing there that gets me excited TBH. "Best of" whilst at SK Ronse

    Easy. Squad number is 25, which according to the Official site means its Kevin McCann.
  22. I hope it is St Mirren, but I fear that if Dunfermline are relying on Barrenman for goals, they have no chance. History shows that the promoted team nearly always stays up, but I'm not sure if the Pars really shone sufficiently in a weaker than ever Div 1 to convince me that they will do well. So they get my vote, reluctantly.
  23. He could quickly and easily alert the pupils each time he'll be in the vicinity, seeing as he's facebook friends with them anyway.
  24. But who would lace them?
