  1. Dont think Mrs Mann would let him come back. Not after her wine fuelled posts when he left us :015: :015:
  2. Can I just point out two things Pele's failing at Aberdeen was not due to his managerial ability but to the ilness of alcoholism. Robbo did not fail at Hearts. He had no intention of being anyones Puppet so didn't fit with the Lithuanian philosophy. As for Brewster, he came to a team that was well established and hungry for success. He didn't actually do anything, other than develop added fitness in some of our guys, but he took all the accolades though. He's now experiencing what its like to try and build a team from next to nothing, and with a very impatient director on his back 24/7. If he comes through this season beating relegation then I think he'll go on to show up as a good manager. I wish him well.
  3. Most clubs in the premiership and championship have top class youth set ups that bring through excellent players. Unfortunately, not too many get straight into first team due to squad sizes etc. Coaches want to see how the lads will cope before committing them so send them out on loan to other leagues, including SPL. There are a few loan players playing in Scotland this season who are developing into top class talent by getting first team exposure and who will go back to their respective clubs and make their mark. The idea is a great way for teams like us, who cant afford the better players, to help other clubs whilst, at the same time, having the opportunity to field the up coming talent, be it only between windows. Any links of this type take time to come to fruition because the lending team will always want to be sure their lad is being developed. Would anyone bet against Falkirk getting another few players from Arsenal after Stokes goes back down south.
  4. Lets get things into perspective guy's. If one lad holds up a bank should we all do it. It is, and has been for a number of years now, illegal to enter a field of play during a match. Not a football offence, nor a stadium offence, but an offence against the law of the land. When someone does it we all think its funny but if the police choose to take action then accept the consequences. I have friends in the police and have spoken to them before about this very subject and they say that normally the perpretrator is given a talking to and ejected. An arrest is, usually, only made if there is a further breach of the peace during apprehension. i.e. being violent or lippy to the arresting officers. What went on in this instance I dont know but it is wrong to blame the police for upholding the law.
  5. Falkirk announcer slags Dunfermline and vice versa, DU announcer slags Dundee and vice versa, It doesn,t happen so much at Rangers and Celtic now cos they usually play on different days. Hibs slag Hearts and vice versa. It's called rivalry and banter. Thats the big boy football game. Get used to it. Its all part of the fun of the day. Are you also complaining when County get a slagging as their score comes through?
  6. No we are not. We are now on a par with any of the teams below us, barring maybe Aberdeen and Hibs. Just like all the others we are a mid table team with aspirations to achieve good cup runs and a top six finish. Unlike the others we dont have the big debts around our necks. As you can all see I'm back again. Drank all the Keo brandy in Cyprus to celebrate stuffing the Huns.
  7. the milkman
  8. Not going if Tommy Sheridan's invited. Dont want to find myself in a position where I could be found guilty of perjury.
  9. ridiculous than
  10. Can just imagine Mr & Mrs Henry sitting in front of the fire on an evening, glass of red in hand, discussing ways of slipping ridiculous info to Mr MacKenzie, via Mrs MacKenzie and picking up the papers a few days later to read about their own rumour. :015:
  11. Hot of the Press: Jimmy Orange Ba's for Hibs Colin Henry for Aberdire
  12. Johndo If I were picking the team I'd have the three of them on: Brown Tokely Dods Munro Hastings Wilson Hart Rankin McAllister Dargo Bayne All out attack from the off aka HMS Sneck style.
  13. Come sit on my knee and we'll talk about the first thing that comes up.
  14. Yogi Hughes for Hibs.
  15. He's only 28. Theres no reason, especially if he's adopted the Brewster mentallity, he cant go on for another ten years.
  16. I'd put McAllisted in from the start. He has more hieght than Dargo and can hold the ball up a bit.
