  1. Good god no. He is a flash in the pan who has come up here as an unknown quantity and is having moderate success but once all the teams have faced him they will come up with a way for their defenders to neutralise his threat and I doubt he will even get to double figures in goals scored next season. However if his predecessor Moult becomes available on loan as looks like it might do in the summer then we should definitely be looking to get him onboard. Whilst I reckon we could afford his transfer fee I really doubt we could afford his wages without breaking our self imposed top limit of around 5k/week. Id expect him to be on 7-8k/week at Preston so if we could get him in on a years loan with half his wages subsidised by PNE it would be a good deal I think. Of course if sevco do manage to offload El Buffoonalo (£4million rather than the £20million they were boasting about) then its probably immaterial as that transfer fee would pay for both Cummings and Moult and a couple of others besides.
  2. No from me as well. Only trade off I would have accepted is if we were going to be in the cup final facing a mid to lower table team like Hearts or St J. We would then have had a decent chance of actually lifting the cup but as it is we will face either sevco or the Dhims......so it will be the Dhims then........and we all know how drastic DM is at setting up the team to face either of them. And as LA Don says, Dom Ball will be right back. I'm actually a bit disappointed he didn't get a 90 minute run out there against both Dundee and ST J given how honkingly bad Shay has been all season although to be fair to Logan in those 2 games he has seemed a bit more like his old self.
  3. As with all Huns I hoped every time he took the field he would break his leg if not his neck..... However as huns go was definitely at the more educated and cultured end. As a pundit offered fair and intelligent opinions. RIP loon
  4. Has to be Ronaldo. 2 footed, 6ft3 and if necessary could even play centre half in emergency. Just far more adaptable than Messi.
  5. Great result even if Shinnie managed to crock his own team mate 10 minutes from the end (Kari). Onwards to Tynecastle, always a difficult ground for us but now optimistic. We seem to have rediscovered our form just at the right time. Stand Free!
  6. And McLean!
  7. Yaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss Arnie!
  8. Well started 2nd half much better, Main bullying AOC. Need to get a grip back
  9. Only change from Saturday Arnason in GMS drops to bench. Need to get the 3 points tonight to establish a clear lead over sevco as I don't think we will get more that a point at Tynecastle at the weekend. COYR
  10. It won't. Not at this point. They will appoint a "name" from those that do the circuits of failure at Premier/Championship clubs to appease the support in view of their impending demotion. When this as yet unappointed poor sod then drops 15 points behind the automatic promotion slots by around Dec/Jan and gets the inevitable push then McInnes will become a viable option. And I predict that if he does ever get the gig he will last 18 months max...
  11. Sadly he is still probably getting a couple of grand a week more down there than he was getting with us. I know he was limited but he really wasn't as bad as a lot of folk make out, I'd certainly far rather have him as the right sided centre half alongside McKenna than AOC.
  12. That is exactly what I'm saying MD.......WBA are doomed and will be in the Championship next season. When they find themselves 15 points off the automatic promotion places they will bin whoever is unlucky enough to replace Pardew. At this point (I reckon Dec/Jan) McInnes will become a viable managerial candidate.
  13. Pardew binned by WBA by "mutual consent".......ie given £1million and told to fuck off to anywhere not within 50 miles of Birmingham. McInnes 12/1 with the bookies to take over. So looks like he is going to be with us for another 12 months till WBA bin whatever unlucky git who gets appointed finds himself 15 points adrift of the automatic promotion places next season......
  14. Fartz not winning at half time and lucky to still be all square, Dundee been by far the better team.
  15. sevco 2 down after 16 minutes :laughing: swallow swallow is a hoot :rofl:
  16. Yeah I thought the season ticket cash was going to repay the Close Bros debt but perhaps i misread
  17. So who do you place as being more "Scottish"? A loon born in London but with all his family Scottish born and bred or a loon born in Edinburgh but with all his family English born and bred?
  18. Forrest is just not international class. Massively overrated by the weegie press, hopefully Snodgrass will be back in the squad by the summer.
  19. McKenna again been excellent should have nailed down his place for the foreseeable future
  20. It would be a real coupon buster were Dundee to beat us this weekend..... Especially since we are playing St Johnstone.......
  21. Cairney is supposedly valued at 20 million so I don't really have an issue with him getting tried out. Admittedly he wasn't great but apart from Robertson, McKenna and McBurnie, no one on Friday night was. We all know Celtic players will form the backbone of the side for the next couple of years at least. We do need to find alternatives though in case they get injured. What I don't get tonight is McGregor starting again. We know he's a decent keeper but is getting on a bit. Would have been better to try McLaughlin in one of the games to see if he is up to the job.
  22. I agree Wright hasn't had as much game time as he possibly could have had however I have to say that any time he has been played he just hasn't been very good at all. Putting him out on loan to a Thistle, Dundee or even a top end Championship club would have been the sensible thing to do in order to get him some game time although it could be the case that this was attempted and nobody wanted him...... My personal opinion........he just isn't of the desired quality and within a year will be allowed to go to somewhere like a Livingston or QOS for free.
  23. Pap sevconian/oldco players get picked routinely. Even that utter fud Ian Ferguson got 9 caps. And don't start me on that lanky carthorse McPherson. So Cummings will probably now get 25 plus caps.... and when McCrorie regains fitness you can bet your life he will be next in line.
  24. Really no such thing as an international friendly these days as they all carry ranking points and so playing weakened teams in order to appease club sides will inevitably impact on your world ranking.
  25. Hanley is a right sided defender so would expect Hendry to be the replacement.
