Wonder what Santa'll bring me this year!

Not bosman till end of season. If we want to keep him in january Dunfermline will be looking for something. If we need to strengthen at the back then the midfield must be trimmed to accomodate. Who best to get rid of then the higher paid player. May get something in transfer fee but we also free up wages. I dont think the powers that be are so stupid as to not see a good bit of business.

Charlies boys not getting into Brews thoughts!! :023:

One thing for certain, we can't be in the same group as England. They are now in the same pot.

So, whens Malky coming back? :023:

Rankins a midfielder, Rory's a striker. Rankin was brought here by Charlie, Brew gave Rory his chance and has always believed he could groom the lad to be a clone of himself. Who knows, maybe it will happen. As for Watt, Im not sure, under the rules, that we can just send him back.

Ritchie is the sort of tough 'play hard' player that Brewster likes. I dont see whats 'obvious' about moving him. He has paid for his crime, was always good for this team, and deserves the chance to exel. Getting back to Rankin what the Daily Ranger said yesterday was that he was told that if he wants to find a loan deal come january he's free to give it a go. Rankin himself said he would rather leave than go on loan. None of us know what is going on behind the scenes. It was quoted before that the lad had a contract whereby he gets more money if others do also. Is he really puting in the effort of the park? Is he miffed at Brew's twice a day training regime? Its what goes on behind the scene that determines how well a player will fit in with the managers plans.

You may well be right mun.

Scotland will go down to the wire needing a 4-0 win over Brazil to qualify. England will loe their final match against Guernsey and fail to qualify. But Y, there is something wrong with your draw. You have all the seeded teams in one group and the crap in the other.

It wont happen. Was discussed 18 months ago and the FA wanted nothing to do with it. The other countries are going ahead with plans for a Celtic Cup competition between the four. Think 2009 is the intended start for this.

McLaren has been sacked with, allegedly, ?2.5 million. Not bad for being useless.

To be fair to Angela and everyone else in the office. The official site does not have twenty four hour cover for updates. The match was away and kicked of at two. By the time it finished and a report sent back up I'm sure the office would have been closed and the staff away home.

You may be an expert in smileyography Johndo but to criticise anothers spelling :023:

You need to get out more CD...............and stay away from the dales.

"From 8am on friday I urge, no demand, that the population of our dear land don the colours and support the team. TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER" And come 18:45 on saturday we will all book our tickets for EURO 08 WE WILL DO IT

Lot of money when keeping a family.

Please get the facts right. Brewster naver said Rossco was a disgrace. What he said was that what Rossco did was a disgrace. There is a very big difference.

Everyone is entitled to their view, and all views are welcome on this site, but can I ask everyone to please stop getting personal. Decrying anothers views, or slagging someone off for their views, does not make for good debate.

Rossco seen the blue mist for whatever reason. He's been punished by the cLub and may yet be punished by the SFA. Regardless of what some may say he's been a very good, loyal, and professional, ambassador to this club. Get of his back.

Whether or not he is right for the job remains to be seen. I was never supportive of his return but I will support him whilst he's here. Brew took over at a time when this team, and indeed club, appears to be in some sort of turmoil and I dont believe he is totally to blame for what is happening of late. Rumours of unrest from chairman down, indicipline on the park, players allegedly walking out of the stadium before game ends. WHAT IS GOING ON AT ICT?

I was going to put Caff but I hear he has a girlfriend now :023:

:clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03:

Yesterday on Skysports Soccer AM programme the soccerette was noe other that Tom Parratts burd. Remember him, went from the dizzy hieghts of ICT to the even dizzier hieghts of Hamilton Accies. Dishy burd though :004:

Cannae wait for Rory to be fit again :023:

There is not one player who is affected by what Marius does or doesn't get. They all know that at any other club there will be players on differing wages. They also know that if they perform well, and are deemed to be an asset to the club, they will be able to negotiate better contracts next time around. These players also know that there monthly paycheck increases when they win games so they know that winning pays. The trouble is, in my opinion, more about management and leadership. Grant Munro is not a good 'on the park' leader. He doesn't rally his troups. Other things appear to be going on at management level, that some on here have hinted at, that seems to be affecting team selection and teamwork on the park. And by management level I'm not focused on CB and DP, though it remains to be seen what they can achieve, but more on the backroom brigade. We go on about losing Dods and yes he did hold his team together but one man doesn't make a team and those players who are performing badly just now are mostly the same ones that we've seen perform brilliant on another day.
