2013/14 expectations
I think with Hearts melting down they are definitely bottom six, I can't see St Mirren or Hibs push for top six with their squads either and tbh Motherwell will be quite lucky if they even get top six with there decimation of there team. Ross County are the same and I struggle to see Partick in the top half. Kilmarnock have a strong squad but I can't tell if it will be this season or next they start to lose all there money. Those are 7 teams I am confident we will finish above. As much as I dislike these two, I still think with the signings they have made Aberdeen and Dundee Utd will make top six, as long as Utd can hold onto certain players and maybe buy a striker. I am not sire about St Johnstone as they are always very unpredictable but then there is Celtic of course. I can see a possible third placed finish. Not being too confidetn though

Phillip Roberts Contract
Pepper has yet to establish himself in our team at SPL level and Meekings/Golobart were both physically a lot stronger which is one of the key attributes for SPL success. While I agree with many comments the main issue with PR was his attitude in games, he never looked to motivated or interested, I think he has the ability but the pace of the Scottish game and where physicality is a more sought after attribute than skill and technique means its always going to be hard for that type of player - look at GMS or Ryan Jack they get kicked for 90 mins a game, although perhaps they are mentally stronger and can deal with that or used to it through the Scottish youth system. Roberts may yet make it to a high level, look at the likes of Pennant (ignore his off-field issues and attitude problems) he was released by Arsenal yet has still played at a high level in England & Europe. Roberts isn't tough enough. And pennant who is currently a free agent is a bad example as he played for Arsenal several times. Search up Sean McDermott. Rohn Ince, Junior Medes, Adam Coombes look at them

Feckin hell, never saw Andrew Shinnie getting 'stuck' in very much, and were we glad to have him last season. You dont have to get stuck in (which he actially did), he scored tonsSo you are dismissing my opinion. I have been watching football for nearly 60 years , I have run junior teams and been a ref. I think I know a good player when I see one This guy lacks a lot of what it takes Laurence I have played the game for 10 years for several teams in Scotland, England, Cyprus and Romania. I can tell when a player is frightened and it is the exact same thing when I see players crapping it from Roberts until the 5th minute he's on and then they just wollop him. Saying you watched it for sixty years? I've watched it for 20 and I am currently working towards my A license. I am agreeing with you that Roberts is a wimp. But you don't have to get stuck in

Who is our new Goalie?
Cant find any confirmation that his contract has expired or has been released. Would love to see him at the club and there have been rumours for a while that we have spoken to him. Always a possibility that his contract will expire at the end of June and will then speak to clubs. Going by what the press is saying today then Terry has identified and spoken a target and is awaiting word back however a signing is unlikely to be made prior to pre-season training starting on Thursday. He has been released

Islam Feruz will be unstoppable, it'll be like Wales have Bale atm... Feruz the only promising one IMO with Callum Barrett as a future keeper

Caley Thistle Signing Spree
Because he's 'simply the best'? No thanks. I'd rather see Thomson come north. For those of you at the League Cup match against Stenhousemuir he put in a great shift. Quite incredible it was his first competitive match for Stenny that night too. It was his first professional match full stop.
