Terry gives five week warning or else
Graeme was dropped after a very poor game at home to Dunfermline and hasn't been able to reassert himself since. Maybe the september accolades he was recieving went to his head a bit. Maybe he'll now get another chance and give it his all.

St Mirren Game
Our big problem is not our keeper or who our defenders are its the momentary lapses in concentration that are our downfall. We totally dominated Kilmarnock but became complacent and let them come back at us. At Dunfermline we came back from 2-1 down to lead 3-2 with about five minutes to go and dropped our guard. On saturday we were up for a share of the points and dropped our guard. Even against Celtic with ten men we could have been a lot more defensive and soaked up the pressure and maybe even held on. Every player is capable of giving 100% for 90 minutes. They've all proved that So why cant we get a whole team to give 100% for a whole game?

Gary Speed found dead
Gary and Shay Given spent five years together at Newcastle. Sad waste of a talented person with a lot to give. For some the pressures of life overpower life itself. R.I.P.Gary

Away Day Travel Thread - Hearts
I'd probably do the same if I was in car but I'm sure the bus has to go to official coach park on Russell road and I think the Calder road/Gorgie road route is the easiest with all the upheaval / diversions / one way systems going on around the Haymarket area at the minute. Buses could go Corstorphine road and park up at West Coates but they wouldn't be able to turn around again without running the gauntlet of the aforementioned upheavals.

Victory Shield: Scotland v England
Probably because there wasn't enough of the tournament promoters boards to hide all of ours. I never pain much heed of the boards but I think all those on show were sponsors of SFA. Vauxhall, Mars, Carling, IMG, Specsaver, Bank of Scotland, Adidas, G4S and one or two others.

Tom Aldred
This from fifa rules: Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play offi cial matches for two clubs. As an exception to this rule, a player moving between two clubs belonging to associations with overlapping seasons (i.e. start of the season in summer/autumn as opposed to winter/spring) may be eligible to play in offi cial matches for a third club during the relevant season, provided he has fully complied with his contractual obligations towards his previous clubs. I think the key to all this is that only two clubs have held his registration. A player who goes out on loan does not take his registration with him. That stays with his club. Aldred was at Watford when he came on loan to us. I believe they were unhappy at his actions when he was here so moved him on to Colchester on a free. Colchester now hold his registration but haven't played him, instead sending him to Torquay on loan.

Away Day Travel Thread - Hearts
The Haymarket area of Edinburgh is a nightmare for traffic and pedestrians at the minute. If I were taking a coachload from Sneck I'd take the M90 link from Broxden Perth. M90 to Forth Bridge. A90 then A8000 to M9. Stay on M9 at Newbridge roundabout. Go left onto M8 interchange then take M8 east to Hermiston Gate interchange. Go right at roundabout and onto bypass heading south. Keep to left side lane and exit at Calder road roundabout and go left onto Calder road. Follow road (A71) to Gorgie road. Do NOT stop or slow down going through Sighthill or there wont be no wheels on the bus. Stay on Gorgie road till just before the road goes under the railway bridge. Turn left into McLeod street (Tynecastle Arms on corner) Follow road to T-junction then left onto Russell road. This is where the official coach park is.

Well Done Mr O'Reilly
Agree with many of Johndo's points and I believe technology will come in for some things. However, and in the mean time, games are officiated by a team of four referee's. One of the problems is that they dont always work as a team. I believe that, if the referee in the middle of the park was to take a little time to get the views of the rest of his team, and if the rest of the team had the courage to point out mistakes, many of the mistakes would be avoided.

My understanding is that the away team is held responsible for their own fans.

Tansey Appeal
So who do you think the player is that Butcher was referring to ? I know who I THINK Butcher was referring to but you are making a statement inferring that Butcher SAID there was an assault on Samaras which is clearly not the case.
-
Tansey Appeal
There is nothing in Butchers statement that indicates he at any time said there was an assault on Samaras. In fact I dont think he mentioned the guys name in any of his statements. What Butcher actually said was "If anything it is assault by fingernail - and the player has gone down as if he's been scratched by a jaguar," he said.

Tansey Appeal
Think if we win appeal there's no fee.

Tansey Appeal
Butcher will get in bother for criticising refs. Hayes probably will as well. Kenny Shiels will get in bother for criticising refs. When will the SFA officials get their fekkin heads out of the sand and realise that all the criticism is justified. The standard and consistency of refereeing in Scotland is abyssmal and needs to be dealt with now.

Not sure what history book you have there! Mary was protestant. Mary II's father, who was duke of York, converted to RC but King Charles I, her uncle,I commanded that she and her sister Anne be brought up in the protestant faith. The king then went on to manage a very good highland football team.
