  1. How about someone with very limited club management but who has five years experience of coaching U-21's. Stuart Pearce?? Could someone like that make the grade with Scotland?
  2. DD, perhaps we could adopt the Irish way. Declare total neutrality. Do not become a member of NATO but be part of the NATO Partnership for Peace framework. Have our own small defence force that performs peace keeping duties under United Nations control. With the breakdown of the Warsaw Pact and many of those eastern block countries now members of or affiliated to NATO, including Russia who are members of the Partnership for Peace framework, does this small country of ours have anything to fear from invasion.

  5. EU membership will need to be applied for if Scotland were to become independant. Contrary to what the press says Alex Salmond has no power, at this time, to promise a referendum on membership. He can put it in his party manifesto but that is all. A referendum, if called for, will be called by the party in power in Scotland after the independance vote. There is no guarantee that that party will be the SNP. As for NATO my understanding is that Scotland and the rest of UK will operate joint armed forces and so will remain NATO.

  10. Would that be a Scottish team with something like eight English born players in it. Besides I dont actually class an Englishman as foriegn.
  11. Its alright guys, we'll be saved now. Don Cowie called up to replace Scott Brown.

  13. One of the common methods of cheating at that time was not chemicals but blood boosting. An athlete would have one or two pints of blood taken and put in storage till his body had replaced it. the stored blood would then be re-injected into his/her system. This increased the oxygen carrying blood cells in the body by up to 25% thus increasing the stamina capabilities of the muscles. It was also a time when the chemists were producing masking agents quicker than the authorities could produce detection equipment. Personally I believe that if Armstrong was clean throughout his competitive era then he would do all in his power to clear his name. As it is the balance of guilt sways very much towards him having used some unfair means to help him win.
  14. Scotland needs someone with character and charisma. Someone who is totally un-biased when it comes to finding and selecting players. Someone who wont select players just because he knows them from his old club. Although I'd prefer that person to be Scottish I wouldn't overlook any of the successful English managers. Also Billy Stark has been doing fairly well with the national youths. Could he fill the role? All that said Scotland needs to take the bull by the horns and sort out the mess that is Scottish League football. One governing body. Top class academies and better financial support for clubs to help the development of players.
  15. Wouldn't want your choice to be influenced by the expert punditry of Craig Burley
  16. Nobody is going to save our 2014 campaign and Strachan is not the man to attempt it.
  17. We win tonight. We win tuesday night Belgium beats Serbia tonight Croatia beats Macedonia tonight Wales beat Croatia tuesday night. And magically we are top of the table.
  18. They are very biter towards the SPL clubs and fans. I heard recently that Green wanted to sell tickets for the Motherwell cup tie at £1 each. His plan was to ofset this by selling programmes at £14 knowing the Rangers fans would pay this. The entrance fee of £1 would apply to both sets of fans. The takings wouldn't then cover the costs to run the game so Motherwell wouldn't get a share. Dont think he actually done this, or maybe he was advised against, but the idea was to specifically punish Motherwell for their vote.

  25. Here's a cracking deal for any couples who fancy an overnight stay and hospitality. I've stayed in the Encore a few times and its normally priced close to a hundred quid for room only so the deal on offer is excellent value. http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/648-one-for-our-travelling-fans
