Fashion police out in force!! Its not what they wear that makes a good manager!!

Ask any Welshman and he'll tell you OTJ was gash in that position for Wales.

Dougal, if you dont like it stay away. Who are the people laughing at us anyway? The only person ever to moan about our stadium is you. Did folk laugh at Hibs prior to 2010 when they only had three stands?

I would think Raven is out. Reguero Meekings, Hogg, Devine, G. Shinnie Doran, OTJ, A. Shinnie, Ross Foran, MacKay Bench: Mathieson, Taylor, Sutherland, Pepper, Polworth, Gibbons

Looking at Raven he walked without arguement when the red came out. However, I do think that, so early in the game, it was a tad harsh. From so far out I couldn't see how it was a goal scoring opportunity so IMO a yellow and free kick would have been enough.

Were we without Rangers? Cant say I noticed!!

At the end of the day we have achieved far more this season that ever before so even it we dont retain third we will have been more successful than before.

By your reckoning we only need three points. If Celtic and Motherwell both take the points from County and St J then three points from three games is enough for us.

Sparta or Dukla Prague

Think I'll stick to bootcut and guiness

Aye

Lennons arguement is how well they've done in cups and Europe as well as league. What he forgets is that this award is voted for by SPL players, including Celtic ones, who generally only see each other in SPL competition.

Didn't Roberts get injured and go back south for treatment?

According to some Welsh friends Owain was usually played out of position as afull back because of his size.

Or he may just realise that playing for us is what got him back into the squad and choose to stay.

I wouldnt call Snodgrass inexperienced. I think there is a need to start building for next Euro's and hopefully we'll see some of the younger players coming onto form but we do need to retain some of the experienced like Maloney to help the others along. The big problem is we just dont have players with the required quality at the moment.

If the boy from Norwich City had kept his cool Scotland would have won that game, although Wales passed them off the park. I like Miller he has done yeoman service for club and country in the past, but it was as you say a great opportunity to give Rhodes a go. After all he is scoring every week more or less for lacklustre Blackburn Rovers team. If we have ( I say we because I feel for Scotland although I am a sassenach, but I do have a highlander grandaughter ) a plan for the future it should be for the rest of this campaign, to give all the young lads a go. Nothing to lose I also think Chris Coleman seems to have more about him tactics wise than Gordon Strachan, time will tell on that front England seem to have an abundance of riches , leaving out their Captain Steven Gerrard and still winning , Anyway I have my fingers crossd for Wales now pity Ramsay will be banned he is one hell of a talent. against a nation with a population of 30,000 and a national team that was only formed in 1986

Think even God would struggle with that one.

I once read in the Sun that phone hacking was illegal and they didn't use such powers.

I think PMF is trying to tell you that the only way County dont remain in top six is if we drop points against Hibs and St J and other results also go against them.

Its a start for the kid and a chance for him to build on what he's already learned.

Where, apart from the speculative Sun, does it look like this is happening? There are no official statements from player or clubs. He's been offered an extension with us and reportedly a pre-contract with Killie. As yet he has signed neither. With Ryans recurring injury it is likely that Tony will play a big part in the run up to end of season and I think our position at season end will be the determining factor in his decision.

Assuming the Soccerbase stats to be correct I've compiled a comparisson of both keepers. Last weeks County game is excluded because both keepers are credited with it. Tony, Played 20. Wins 11. Draws 6. Shutouts 6 Ryan, Played 17. Wins 1. Draws 10. Shutouts 3 Ryan has been very good for us but his injury this season is puting doubt in my mind that he can sustain No1 next season. I do, however, see him as a good standby and help to the No1 choice and I think Tony is just coming onto top form now and we should try and keep him as the No1 with Ryan there to keep him tip top.

I dont see that Sun article as confirming anything. Tony has been offered an extension with us. He's been offered a pre-contract at Killie. He has not come out and said what his choices are. Lets leave all the speculation to the press and get on with supporting who we have at present. I honestly believe that our position in the league come end of season will determine whether folks stay or go. Second place is very possible and the prize very high. That could determine what we are able to offer players for next season and / or who we can bring in.
