Ten Caat

Although we can't really criticise anyone....how many of our starting 11 will be Scots come August?

I'dve left him for a bit instead of banning immediately. Could've toyed with his brain

And your valuation of him would be Einstein? He's just outscored any player from the league champions (admittedly I don't think that will happen again). He's contracted for another 4 years. Therefore we hold all the cards. A club comes calling ( and there's rumoured interest from a Championship club) we can ask what we want... Tell me exactly why £1millon is unreasonable?

Which is precisely the scenario I'm envisaging...possibly even hoping....will happen. Cosgrove's stock I really don't think will get any higher. £1million offer.....take the money and run. And do the same again, maybe not quite as cheap as £20k...maybe a young loon with potential for £200k or so and take the punt that he will make us five times that eventually.

We were definitely interested in him but Halkett's wife wanted to stay in the Central belt hence his decision to go to Hearts. Reason he is so mobile is that in modern day terms he is a midget in central defensive terms....6ft dead, In no way a big unit...

USE wouldn't work on language grounds far less monetary. They'd have to establish a "main" language to be the official language perhaps with one lesser language as an official "secondary language. The USA works because of this....vast majority speaking English with a few pockets of Spanish speakers dotted along the Mexican border in Texas and Arizona. As things stand English is the preferred global language of business and if the UK stayed in this conglomeration, would probably be the official language. If we were outwith it? Then the fun and games would begin. In the European Parliament right now, the official languages are English and French having equal standing. Although every document is translated into each state's individual language. Thus the French would claim that their language should be the official language. But hang on.. Germany would turn around and say that as the biggest contributors to the finanacial pot that German should be the official language. The Spaniards would claim that globally Spanish is the first language of far more population than even English is, taking into account the Central and South American countries therefore they should take precedence. The Austrian Empire failed not only because of defeat in WW1...but also because its constituent parts wanted self determination and the right to speak their native tongues....Czech/Slovak/Hungarian/Serbo-Croat/Romanian. The lesser countries of a USE would demand the same rights. And all this without even delving into the political differences and aspirations of the various regions, not to mention financial disparity of the relatively prosperous north v basket cases of the south. If anything, assuming the UK leaves the EU, I suspect others will follow within a relatively short time frame. Austria being first I predict. Possibly the Visegrad countries as well. And Germany may decide it's sick of subsidising everyone else an hold an in/out referendum. If they go...the whole shebang collapses

I suspect that's more a cost cutting measure rather than a direct slight on Gash's ability. Northampton thought they'd bounce straight back up after relegation. That they didn't alters their financial plan significantly. What concerns me is I just can't see him signing for anyone at this stage of his career to play back up to anyone. If McKenna is away then I suppose he could be paired with Devlin but the majority of clubs now prefer a left footer/right footer centre back combination as their first choice pairing these days. If McKenna isn't away...can Devlin keep Taylor out???

Wonder if getting him on board would kill any move for Dom Ball stone dead. With Ball having been on Championship level wages at Rotherham, he's likely going to want at least equivalent which would instantly plonk him right in with our top earners. Gorrin would be significantly cheaper. Better though? Not entirely convinced. Have absolutely no recollection of him playing at all, though quite obviously he did regularly in second half of the season.

A Forrester mk2 should see the entire management and scouting teams binned. Overall fan reaction to this one seems to be "meh". That he is a full Wales cap has to be to his advantage though....they'd destroy Scotland at the minute. Although if there are and Welsh versions of Donsdaft tuning in....he's English by birth

Sad reflection on how far Scottish football has fallen that Barnsley are even mentioned in the same breath as us. 30 years ago every single Barnsley player would have crawled all the way up with 2 broken legs to sign for us. Anyway welcome aboard loon. Not sure if this confirms GMS has had the stay/go decision taken out of his hands by the club? Notice a few Barnsley fans saying he's often injured.....aye DM does like a loon that's well acquainted with the A+E department.

For one horrible moment I thought we were about to re-sign Aluko

Saturday afternoon TV.....England v NZ (wifies) Ah well at least you can always guarantee some comedy gold.....usually from the goalkeepers

As are Hivs. And of course the Retard have linked him with sevco as they now seem to do all our targets....let's face it sevco haven't got enough midfielders...……………………….. And I hope to f@ck someone else gets him. Massively overrated. Couldn't get into a Sunderland side that was unable to get out EFL1 and on £8k/week. Can't see Sunderland paying up his contract but if they want to ship him out on loan they'd need to stump up minimum 50% of that....if it were to a Scottish club more likely 75%. Have seen others say he'd be an upgrade on Gleeson. Maybe marginally....more mobile certainly but as I say....I hope he goes elsewhere. If we are to sign a Hivs target then please let it be McNulty

I'd rather we left.....if we don't Brexiteers will forever claim the will of the people was disrespected. As you rightly point out about the Indyref, we were made a promise that could not be guaranteed thus giving us a cast iron reason to re-run Indyref. If Brexit is stopped in whatever manner, then that cast iron reason is lost. Now (unless there's a no confidence vote that gets through Parliament quicker), what could/should happen is the pro European parties fight the next General Election on a "rejoin Europe" ticket. Brexit supporting parties on a "stay out" one. Saves the vast cost of another UK wide referendum (we of course may be Independent anyway by then)

Just had a quick look at possible 1st round opponents. Generally a pile of shyte no one has heard of out of their own countries...Siroki Brijeg in there again, would like to avoid them at all costs. Gzira Utd would be an ideal one. Who wouldn't fancy 2 or 3 days in Malta in July? Presume you will be hoping we pull out Honved Donsdaft? Budapest wouldnt be the worst trip either.....think i'm right saying they're now totally honking having once been a (relatively) big name?

The day is coming where players will just be able to announce they're whatever nationality they like. After all they're trying to push through legislation (and I think the Scottish Government has already accepted it) that you can now declare you are whatever sex you want to be without the need to bother a medical professional, no need for hormones and/or surgery (and theres apparently a wide variety of choices of "sex" to choose from as well. 'O' Grade biology taught me there was only male or female but hey, what does science know)

McInnes doesn't seem to mind such scenarios. He signed (twice) and regularly selected Greg Stewart after all

2 to qualify from each group isn't it? If so, don't see many, if any, potential banana skins for the sides "expected" to progress. Maybe Dundee's group could throw up a shock? Would be epically funny if the caravan dwellers fail to get out of their section though

I'm sure the club and player himself wouldn't let on for now if there is indeed a problem. Maybe a late withdrawal? No matter what...it is certainly the most bizarre selection in the squad, ahead of the Killie contingent. The Devlin of 6 months ago absolutely deserved a call up. The Devlin of the past 3 months...….the one that couldn't for whatever reason displace Consi? No siree

Maybe ok. Had they gone up I think they'd have released Forsyth on a free (assuming he could get himself hooked up with new club) bought a Premiership level left back punting the current incumbent Malone (£3million last summer.....wouldn't want to sit stagnating on bench for anyone) out on loan and using Lowe as emergency back up (and with Shinnie as a viable back-up option too). Unless they got an irresistable purchase offer for Lowe (watch carefully what happens with Celtic/Tierney over the summer) Now I think they'll just stick with Malone, use Forsyth as back up till his contract runs out (again with Shinnie as a viable option) and let Lowe continue getting experience elsewhere

I voted remain but the country (UK) voted for Brexit and that is what I believe must happen in order to respect the result of the referendum. ( And it gives us a cast iron reason for demanding a new independence referendum....if brexit doesnt happen then we ourselves would have no choice but to repect the result of indyref, at least for a generation) There are remoaners on both sides demading a peoples vote to break the deadlock. With at least 3 options...no deal brexit, brexit with a deal and remain..... Very shrewd tactic if you can't see through it. Split the brexit vote whist only having one remain option allowing it to win comfortably. They also use the excuse that "we did not know what we were voting for" as an excuse. As I said...I voted remain but there was a clear choice....remain or leave. No middle ground. Those who voted leave did so trusting the politicians to deliver and theyre reneging on that trust. I remember as a young loon....1975 I think...my parents voting in a referendum in whether to stay in an expanding Common Market...henceforth European Union or whether to leave. There were no details as to what this new entity would be nor how it would achieve it's goals or whether further expansion would take place. it was "in" or "out". Obviously we stayed in.....no one then was bleating about the result a couple of years later demanding people's votes. The politicians delivered what they were instructed to do. Years later remember the Lisbon Treaty. Blair/Brown promised the people a referendum on signing up to it....then completely went back on their word and signed up to it anyway. Indoing so landing up with the pernicious Human Rights Treaty that any old arse with a grievance now uses to sue whenever he is short of a bob or 2. ANd creating a whole industry of new "phobias" into the bargain. I generally loathe Farage. There aren't milkshake factories large enough to pump out the quantities of product I'd like to drown him in (why no custard pies anymore....comedy classic they were??). However the results last night give him the right to be kingmaker going forward. The people have spoken. And as an aside......fuck the Tories and Labour. You got exactly what you deserved. Indeed Labour might well be a goner forever in Scotland now

Too shite..... Oh hang on. We signed Forrester

Hefty old (and deserved) boot in the baws for both Tories and Labour. Tories in 5th place overall

Caravan dweller caught on camera in floods of tears Roond ye!!!!

St Boo stay up!!! Yinited miss 4 penalties on the trot :rofl:
