  1. Sorry but Craig Brewster done very well for us in his first term. Boardroom bickering, Chairman shuffling and dressing room troublemakers didn't help his chances in his second term. Yes he got sacked at Dundee U but, to be fair, he was one of many who were sacked there over a short period of time. Since the birth of ICT DU have gone through eleven managers. I wish the guy well in wherever he ends up. He has a lot to give to football.
  2. I think the straight answer to that is no. To get a visa to play in SPL they'd need to have played at international level and I cant see too many Australian internationals playing outside the OF, maybe Hearts and English top leagues.
  3. Its not up to the manager or players of a club to do anything about it. Its up to the people who run the business. The people who were happy to take the money from the bigots for so long. The people who stood shoulder to shoulder with those self same bigots in the various clubs and pubs up and down the country that had affiliation with the bigots. Those people only began to act when UEFA and FIFA started to take action. And even then, in the early days, it was feeble. All football grounds have the technology to out the trouble makers but the old firm bowed down to threats of boycotts and turned a blind eye. Now one half of them is going to suffer serious financial loss in staging their first Champions league behind closed doors next season.
  4. I think, in order to debate the current situation with Lennon, we need to remember that this is not the first time he has been attacked or threatened. Lennon gave up international football with NI after he and his family were threatened with death following his comment in an interview that he would have loved to play in a United Ireland team. Nobody is sure where those threats came from but the Loyalist Volunteer Force were linked. Sorted is correct in saying that sectarianism is more deep rooted than on the football ground. What he misses though is that the football ground is a ready made arena to voice the bigoted chants of two christian religions in Scotland. The football ground has been a regular arena, over the many years of the Ireland troubles, to voice opinion and raise funds. Sadly, though Ulster is now living in relative peace and her citizens getting on a lot better with each other, the west of Scotland is having difficulty letting go. Perhaps Rossanna can get to the root of the problem and destroy it. I won't hold my breath though.
  5. Not only do we accept the songs but some of our fans have been known to sing songs of the OF half we are not playing. Athenry has been heard in the home stands. Famines over has been heard in the home stands. That gets away from the subject though. Neil Lennon is a horrible little man who gets many people wound up. He deserves to be chastised, ridiculed and made to see the error of his ways but no matter how anyone tries to spin it the bottom line is niether he nor anyone else deserves to be threatened with physical violence.
  6. First off I cant nominate because I dont know the guy well enough to satisfy para 5 of the terms and conditions. Secondly I dont honestly think Grant is the type of perwson they are looking for. How does he fit into the following? Who are we looking for? Do you know someone who is truly inspirational? Someone who always strives to do their best? We?re looking for truly incredible individuals whose personal stories will inspire millions of people watching the Olympic Torch Relay ? in their community, across the UK and around the world. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. From any walk of life, anywhere in the UK. We need you to help us find them Do you know someone who: Has inspired you to do something you never thought possible? Always tries to be the best they can be? Makes a real difference in their school or local community? Has shown what it means to be a real friend? Shows respect for other people and knows the importance of fair play? Tell us their story We don?t have a particular person, or type of story, in mind ? we?re excited to see who?s out there. It might be a friend who gave up a lot to help you through a really hard time. A local football coach, out on the touchline every week, encouraging their team come rain or shine. A youth worker who runs a music project to give confidence to children in deprived areas. Or someone who gives time every evening to help elderly or disabled people get around.
  7. Many valid points but for me success is measured by improvement. In our first spell in SPL we stayed pretty much around the same position each season apart from the last so were we successful? I'd say not. We were happy to achieve survival each season. Since then we successfully came back up. We successfully achieved top of the bottom. We now need to better that to be successful again. Butcher believes he will find the players who can do that and likely believes he can get more for his money than he would by retaining Grant and Russell. He may even believe that younger players could have more fire in their belly's. Either way, and regardless of my feelings about the players being let go, I will support him until he fails.
  8. Common or not it is not only illegal to possess the drug it is against the rules of the sport those people participate in. If convicted they face bans of anything up to life. Pity they didn't think of that before doing what they were charged with.
  9. I heard they took place at Hamilton yesterday and everyone won through.
  10. As PMF pointed out the twins of evil would play each other one less game. The whole system was designed to give them superiority over everyone else. Other than that I reckon it would work though I'd prefer a bigger league.
  11. Whoever Terry brings in it will not be St Mirren rejects.
  12. Shinnie???
  13. A radical way of finding players. They'll all be doing it next year
  14. Has there ever been a precedent set where a player of any club has had a testimonial after they've left?
  15. No amount of training can prepare you for energy sapping weather conditions. Well done on the attempt and good luck for the remainder of the trip.
  16. Peter Lawwell is correct. This is Scotlands shame. Not the fact that Lennon or others are being targetted but the fact that, in this day and age when many around the world are striving for peace among all men, we, the majority, in Scotland still tend to turn a blind eye to the minority who practice religious intolerance around us. It is Scotlands shame and it is our shame.
  17. Took me all of thirty seconds mate........58 Pts in 05/06 season
  18. Listen Here
  19. And its easy, easy Into the net with the ball Easy, easy Three thousand Jaggies will call. Or was it Yaba daba doo we support the red and blue and it’s easy, easy Yaba daba doo we are going to follow you, and it’s easy, easy Yaba daba day we’ll be with you all the way, singing ea-sy Think the latter was bay City Rollers
  20. Well there's a thoroughly decent fellow who gives Scottish football a good name! And I have to say there were a good few more Hibees of the same ilk on the bus which decanted itself into the Social Club (and overwhelmed the catering staff!!) before the match. It really is such a refreshing thing, especially at the end of the kind of season Scottish football has just had, to see fans from visiting teams mixing in with the home supporters in such a civilised way. Its what its all about Charles
  21. When I went to purchase his book in Aberdeen way back then I made the error of calling him Charles. He was not impressed. Bryan still edits the match programme.
  22. Now that an area has been set aside for a singing section that has the full support of the club I hope all you guys and girls out there who've been asking for it for a few seasons now will make full use of it. Personally I think this area of section E is as good as G was but gives a cushion from the family section thus reducing the number of folk who may be offended by some of the songs and chants.
  23. Does he not have another year on his contract?
  24. I would go along with keeping it to one of the Inverness lads though I wouldn't want to rule out the likes of Shane. If there's as much interest next season as there was this then we should be able to maybe getting our name to the boots and training gear of two or three as well as our main sponsorship
