  1. Goodness knows what's going in that man's mind. No excuse for his comments. Is he pandering to Spanish and Italian associations who still have major issues with racist chanting. Eastern Europe is still a backwater in this respect as well.

     

    We've come on a good bit in Scotland. However I still remember a Scotland V England match in 1986 where John Barnes and Viv Anderson were subjected to sustained racist chanting by thousands of Scotland fans.

     

    Then we had the ugly sisters giving a warm welcome to Mark Walters and Paul Elliott.

     

    The Rod McDonald incident was shocking thought that had sectarian undertones more than racial ones.

     

    Is Blatter racist, I've no idea but he certainly appears to be skirting about the issue.

     

    Is John Terry racist, I don't know but he is a fud. I'm sure if he said what was alleged Anton Ferdinand wouldn't just laugh it off.

     

    Give racism the Red Card, and Blatter too :mad2:

  2. oh well, you must be spot on then.

     

    You do realise he's been without a Club sine May and is dying for a long term contract with someone to see out his career. How much do you think it will cost us to have him here for 6 weeks?

    I think he'll be happy to get match fit and get in the shop window for january. Two boys livi signed recently are playing for expenses and win bonuses. It could be a win-win for both parties imo.

  3. Excellent win for the Warriors today. The pitch looked a bit soft but is in much better condition than this time last year.

    I really think the Warriors are going to miss Firhill for matchdays. Scotstoun showgrounds is totally without atmosphere, the new meadowbank imo.

  4. Away trips have that unpredictable edge to them. Alter form of transport, pub visited and where you watch the game from. This means you end up talking to many different Jaggoes and swapping stories and the like. Some might rub you up the wrong way but overall there is always something interesting happens on away trip. If only it was the result more often ;)

  5. Paul's mobility seems to be impaired from his ankle injury. I watched the youtube of the Annan lc game a couple of seasons ago and he sprinted up the wing like a whippet. I think the effect of the injury has curtailed his forward play a lot. He is still sound defensively and can cover the central defence. His distribution has been poor this season despite getting into positive positions fairly regularly.

     

    I think he would prefer to play with O'Donnell in front of him. Chris Erskine starting on the right does not ever work imo. Fair enough as an impact sub but not for the full game. We're a 1/3 way through the season and things have slowed and most lingering hopes of a promotion challenge have been extinguished. However I think we are capable of a top four place.

     

    That is if we can start getting more chances to our forwards. There lack of service is affecting their confidence when they get a half-chance. Doolanhino has looked the most likely to score if given a shot. Stewart has missed a few sitters and Christie maybe needs a couple of games coming off the bench. Culter could be a good morale booster if they can all get amongst the goals.

     

    Today my cup is half full ;)

  6. I believe about 350 are on sale at Firhill.

     

    Seems stingy. In fact I don't see why we don't get a bye. Aberdeenshire tight wads, hope we bump a few past them B)

     

    Goals and fans. I fancy behind the fence at one of the goals. Bring yer wellies, but don't frighten the sheep :blush::blink:

  7. Yes -the "bring a mate" campiagn was used for the Glasgows Big Game Marketing against Dundee two seasons ago - we were sitting 5th in the League but managed to achieve the largest Home gate for a League Game in seven seasons,so "success on the pitch" is not the only factor to bums on seats -and having a clean one tends to make a difference if you just paid £17 in my opinion.

     

    Good stuff Jim. True, making folk aware of the product is a big one as well as getting people feeling part of the club.

     

    What about a ub-40 gate for these troubled economic times. I remember we had one in the 80s. It's better we get £10-12 off someone than people not wanting to go to the game.

     

    I know when I've not been working £15-£17 is a lot of money to justify.

     

    Thinking hat on.

     

    Cheers, James
