I don't think we are limited. We need to decide what level in other countries is equivalent to SPL(or Scottish Premier if you prefer). Eg Is it league 1 or 2 in England. ?

Maybe a wee bit of selective reading going on. I was responding in the main to the point that the the lack of a scouting network could be responsible for not sourcing a replacement for ATS. I also said we needed players who have shown that they are capable of playing at SPL level, meaning to replace Mair, ATS and Taylor. Another minor point - Last season was different - we tried untested players to begin with and it didn't work too well.

Isn't a scouting network meant to unearth upcoming talent ? What we are looking for are players who have experience of SPL level football and have shown that they are good enough for it.

They will be rioting on the streets of Rio tonight !

Finishing 10th again this season is fine, but much improved home form is needed

I am pretty sure that if a Thistle player was at the end of that tackle we would have expected a free kick. It may not have been a book able offence but for me it was a foul. Columbia didn't do enough to win the game last night.

I need to disagree about Mair. Our defensive record was just as bad after he arrived as before it. However, it is possible that without him it would have been even worse.

Biting and not scoring goals - that wouldn't be acceptable

He's the one taking the risk that fans won't buy last year's stuff

Oh aye - that's reasonable.

I am not quite sure I understand the logic in resting players for a pre season friendly. Is it to avoid them getting injured ?

Possibly before the WC started, Costa Rica were given no chance, but even after they beat Uruguay the pundits still expected them not to qualify. At World Cups, I only expect Brazil,Argentina,Germany and maybe Holland to make it through to the latter stages. At this World Cup it is maybe not surprising that almost all of the South American and Central American teams are playing well.

It's not really as stark as it seems. One of those games is 1st and one is 31st

I didn't mean "managing it", or supposed to be. I meant is there someone new taking the calls ?

I have to say that is really bad. There have been a couple of comments re poor customer service by the office staff. Is there somebody new in there ?

The 3 guys commenting on the Spain/Holland game were all saying how they thought Spain's new option of having a striker/target was a good one for them. That worked out well.

Regarding Apple users - has anyone tried renewing by phone explaining their situation. Surely, you wouldn't be charged £10 ?

Row 143 was where the segregation started for the Celtic games last year. Moving people with ST's over this is a similar situation to the NS issue, isn't it

The management must be on a recce mission. Archie,Shaggy,Maxi, David Beattie and maybe 2 or 3 other Directors on a plane to Murcia this morning.

500 miles ?

It does.

I would guess that for most people renewing for the same seats, the system will work fine. For more complicated transactions,like lots of systems, some human intervention will be needed, cos they are supposed to be smarter than computers

Ah, but he didn't MOVE to a bigger club

I got an email confirmation that I had renewed

If you are simply renewing you don't need to collect or have a new one delivered - your card for last season is updated and will be valid for next season. At least that was the message I got when I renewed.
