I hope it includes an experienced defender. The current backline looks very young (as well as short on numbers) so I think that we need an older head to talk them through the game. However, if we don't get said player, if you're good enough, you're old enough

I do. Thanks Jaggy

Potentially Yes, depending on what our lords and masters agree with the EU over the next 2 years. also potential to need work permits for all non UK players

As rumoured, Gaz Miller signs for Plymouth http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36606558

The powers that be have said that the fixtures wont be changed and there will be no compensation. I don't think they are burying their head in the sand, just saying **** you.

It's an option I had always wondered what it would look like, and I think I like it. I'm glad to see that the balance of red to yellow is better than last season which was too red for me. I can see a purchase coming on.

BB. Can I thank you for organising this and all of the other competitions you have run. I know it must take up a lot of your spare time, but it is a lot of fun for me and I'm sure others.

Portugal look very iffy. I suspect that Iceland have a better chance of beating England than Portugal do.

4th in a group of 6. We didn't deserve to qualify.

The only grounds would be if the computer program used to compile the fixtures contained an algorythm that gave us a sporting disadvantage. For instance if it was hard coded that Dundee would get 4 OF games, then there are grounds. If it was just the luck of the draw then I can't see us having any where to go. We have all protested that Rangers are a new club, so we can't now say there's a precedent.

Scotland's only chance is to leave the UK and become a part of Brazil

I am not a fan of this format. 36 games to eliminate 8 out of 24 teams is excessive. It also puts the emphasis on defence as it is far more important not to lose than it is to win. 3 0-0 draws would have been enough to progress. It also gives more chance of the arranged draw to help both sides (Switzerland v France). If they want to continue with the 24 team format,why not make it top 6 progress with best 2 second placed sides straight to quarter-finals. It makes winning far more important.

Can we have an alternative table of the score after 80 minutes. I am being seriously stuffed by late goals.

What PTFC fan APP ? I've never heard of it

Any one know what the offside rule is this week ?

Germany result makes it 3 points from the last 24. Relegation form.

Agree with all of that, but also that the final central defender needs to have lots of experience to guide Liam/Danny/David who are all quite young. Gordon Greer would be ideal, except that he is right sided.

The rule was changed recently so that it doesn't have to go forwards. I think you do have to be in your own half, but that has been abused by wingers for years

Who the **** do you espect ? Sergio Ramos ? We have got a solid, young central defender (I think he can play rightback too) with decent SPFL experience from a rival who obviously wanted to keep him. Go and find some billy goat gruff to troll

Solid signing there. Welcome to Firhill David and Danny

Welcome to the new Ade-ittion to the squad. I hope you become a legend.

Don't worry, they'll bottle it ..... My mistake ..... That's the England fans.

I'd much rather that the manager takes time to sign the right players, rather than some knee jerk reaction to fans wanting news. I know that we are all impatient, but I trust Archie and Maxi to have the team in place for the start of the new season. It's only the middle of June for god sake.

Interesting also on what they decide. Making all games 0-3 would screw up the calculations for 3rd placed teams .... all of that group would be pretty much guaranteed to qualify.

Do you want to decide on a rule now for if Russia get disqualified for further fan violence. Obviously I'd like to keep the 3 points for that 1-1 draw, but it might make sense to have all their games nullified. As you said at the beginning. You make the rules.
