how would a guy, just because he's wee, not have a clue if a voice has dropped? Oh and congrats in using the word get three times in a space of seven words

[quote name='Hot Shot' date='30 May 2010 - 01:48 PM' No wonder pointless arguements start No they don't! Abuse is next door in room 12. Getting hit on the head lessons further down the corridor.

can't disagree with you nor fault your attitude Not too sure what exactly an ultra is or does but if he/she or it doesn't involve a big drum and/or a brass band I'm sure it wouldn't annoy me

Can't make up my mind whether a fan of a team with an average home crowd of under 500 playing in a stadium that holds 50,000 plus is best or worst placed to judge on matchday atmosphere etc.

If he does cross over to the dark side there must be a reasonable possibility he'll be loaned back to us (assuming we want him) in lieu of training fees or whatever it's called. If there's a strong chance that's on the cards it must impact on McCall signing a replacement. I doubt this will happen but it's worth bearing in mind the possibility. It might well be in our interest he gets fixed up with a new club sooner than late on.

That's correct. The idiot was even allowed in charge of a few SPL games as well before he was eventually put out to graze.

No it isn't

see my previous post

So it kinda looks like we (& Clyde) scratched the friendly due to the alba cup game and we hastily arranged to play in Annan instead. Now we draw Annan in the CIS . If so maybe we should let Clyde go to the Annan tourney and we can play whoever Clyde have arranged to play in their re-arranged friendly

Just checked the trains from Central and seem reasonable times and fare quoted at £15.80 ret. All go via Carlisle and total journey time around 2hr each way.

Can't rule out dream ties against Dumbarton or Queens Pk.

I'd rather have a box to box midfielder that could also do a shift in the boiler room. One supplementary transfer & signing question...... It's obvious that any new signing who's moved from a club further down the pecking order will describe the move as massive but is there a set points difference between the clubs, or is even a move to a better league involved, before the move becomes massive massive?

What was the game that was cancelled last season?

I thought that comment was abusive but then again that's just my own strongly expressed opinion. Some folk will think differently. Fair enough, but if you wouldn't say something face to face to someone I question why it's considered fine to stick it in print.

an away tie with minimum travel is preferable to a home tie. Wonder how much we'll be out of pocket playing in this stupid competition this season?

Is it more advisable for a manager to snap up a signing target or is he better to swoop for him? Once he's signed the guy is it preferable to unveil the player or to parade him?

Well at least our games are against senior clubs, so there!

Away ties to Clyde and Dumbarton would be brilliant

Congrats, David

Jimmy Aitken and Tom Reid were two W o S rugby players who were allowed training facilities at Firhill. The red & yellow rugby tops they were wearing impressed one of our directors at a time that coincided with our desire to change from blue. That's what prompted the colour change. Incidently Tom Reid went on to become Chairman. I've no idea whether Jimmy Aitken was a Jags fan before or even during this time but it would be difficult to attend Jags games and play rugby as well. I imagine back then that both rugby & football were almost entirely played Saturday afternoons. Folk worked on Saturday mornings, sport on Sundays was a no-no and there was no floodlights.

Can turn that around, Grant. Players being released from eg Motherwell have failed to impress even with the benefit of professional coaching. Junior players of the same age group who have impressed without pro coaching should surely improve with it. We're not going to agree on this and the whole thread is based on conjecture so maybe it's all hypothetic. Also, in my mind the jury's out on both Doolan & Erskine. If they totally fail next season I'd be swayed towards Grant's opinion. If they progress, even if not greatly but enough, I'll stick to my view that signing a few well sourced juniors is a worthwhile policy till more of our own youths break through to the first team squad.

Article appears to hint strongly if not exactly confirm there's some sort of gentleman's agreement re McNamara and McCall. I remember some thought, myself included, that McNamara had signed a pre contract so this is hardly a surprise. Couple this news with yesterday's Bertspeak about Donnelly being an almost certain re-signing and we're back to speculating on just how many coaches we'll have next season. Maxwell's been touted for assistant manager and I can't see how we can do without a goal keeping coach with two promising young goalies and maybe a not too greatly experienced No1 keeper on the way. From all I hear Jackie McN is thought to have a good career ahead of him in management/coaching and I remain reasonably enthusiastic about him joining us. Just can't figure out how we can justify him, Sid, Maxwell, Hinchy & Ian C. I realise Ian Cameron is very much part time and Hinchcliffe may not be anything like full time either but still Putting the cost thing aside I can imagine youngsters, or more likely parents, being impressed with a youth set up that has the likes McNamara & Donnelly involved.

I hear he was quite tickled to be joining Ayr but was gutted leaving Airdrie. Ooops! Sorry, admin
