"One team was showboating, and it wasn't the multi-millionnaires from the East end of Glasgow" :015: Oh what a night. I remember how much we cheered every time we got the ball or won a throw in. Best night of my life.
-
Many congratulations to the 3 of them! Enjoy every moment, it's fun. But you won't get much sleep, and you'll probably get peed, pooed or puked on. A normal Saturday night for Bronson!

We all lived in fear of Gripper Stebson.
-
How does it go?
-
With hindsight we perhaps did the right thing letting him go. He gave Gretna a few months decent service but then got an illness, was out for a long time and has been a shadow of his former self ever since. I think he's previously been loaned out to QoS and Stirling, as Gretna know he's finished as a player. They must now regret giving him such a long and lucrative contract.

Well they've beaten Dundee Utd twice
-
Christies 99p shop had a record shop downstairs!
-
I thought they played that in Dumfries?
-
The squad is significantly weaker than it was. I'm very disappointed, I thought there was some kind of masterplan and we'd see a couple of signings yesterday that would improve the first team, not just the squad. I'd like to think we tried a few things but they just didn't come off. On the bright side, we must have trimmed a fair bit off the wage bill in January.
-
This gets me thinking, is there actually a way in which clubs with sell-on clauses can be sure that they get exactly what they are entitled to? I mean, what is to stop Eddie Thompson telling us that as usual the media got it all wrong and it was actually a free transfer? OK that's a bit extreme, but to be sure that everything is in order you would think that a club in our position would be entitled to have sight of the transfer documentation.
-
Did Richard Hastings play for Caley, or was it just ICT? Got one definite though : Allan Smart, now onto his 16th club and still only 33! Currently at Burscough in the Conference North. I think he's also the only player to progress from ICT to the Premiership, but that's perhaps another thread.
-
Celtic did well to offload Jarosik for a healthy fee, but I chuckled at this bit of journalism on the BBC website : "The fee is expected to be in the region of ?747,500." :024:
-
They lived the dream, now they are living reality. Just look at their transfer activity this month. They offloaded a large chunk of their squad including some of their best players, and just brought in loans for the rest of the season. Very sensible decisions from a club that knows its fate, meaning they can start next season in Division 1 with their lowest wage bill for many years, and then assemble a new squad more in keeping with their resources.
-
I'm going on Sunday (freebie, with prawn sandwiches included) but I expect Scotland to lose and commence the usual battle to avoid the wooden spoon.
-
IIRC Rankin was the Division 1 stand-out player at the time we signed him, and had a dozen or so goals by this stage of the season. In comparison, ?50k just seems a lot to pay for Imrie.
-
I can hardly believe we would pay that much for a merely decent division player. This has the potential to supersede Martin Glancy as our biggest waste of a transfer fee!
-
Aye, on the back of a snail.
-
Actual P&J : Brewster said: "The contracts of Barry Wilson and Markus Paatelainen are up at the end of the season and we will monitor their situation over the coming months. They have not been offered new contracts at this stage." Not quite the same thing Alex!
-
?50k for Imrie doesn't sound particularly good value for money, does it?
-
Actually clubs and players often meet up in nearby Gleneagles to hold transfer and contract talks. Especially when it's a star player who they're trying to impress.
-
Hmm, so he was somewhere in the central belt........ :024:
-
More to the point, people who buy or watch the output of these talentless nobodies!
-
Who sings that one?
-
A bargain at ?20 a head if anyone is interested, although I'm more likely to break a pencil than break sweat. :003:
-
I don't think any club says that and actually means it. It's just a polite way of saying "we know we have deficiancies in our squad, but failed in our attempts to bring in better players".
