Raises a couple of valid points for me. Don't think Mulgrew was ever a serious option.....wages, fact he was disliked during his time here, past his sell by date etc etc. Think cheap journalism or social media speculation at best. The lack of rumours over signings is a worry, but McInnes and AFC have a track record of keeping things under wraps until last minute and then just announcing the signing. Lets all hope this is indeed the case this time around, as at least one midfielder required before close of window.

Well almost time for our first game of the season against them already. No great hopes this time around, although do believe they as seriously suspect at the back and we willscore against them. Would appear likely that O'Connor will be moved out of central defence into midfield which means Taylor and Reynolds as defensive pairing. Going to predict our usual reduction to ten men against them and Shay Logan to be subjected to constant barracking from the minky mob followers. Out Golf Golf Finishing round of golf 3-1 to them (McGinn, followed by an apology)

Exactly as I thought it would be, pandering to both halves of Scotland's shame. Hence the reason I didn't watch it. Might have watched on catch up but from what you're saying doubt I'll bother

9/4 fuck that, too short, but tells a story

Must check the odds on getting zero points

Said in another thread that Gordon wasn't looking at his best nowadays. Yet another fuck up from him in Europe for The Victims

One down inside twenty minutes and Gordon has saved a penalty already.

Please crash and burn tonight

I'd actually let him away with Hamilton, as the boy has played for Scotland at every age group since fifteen. Can't say personally that he looked that fantastic when I saw him, but guess he is going along for the ride to pick up experience and guess it is a department we need to plan for the future. McGregor now at Fleetwood Town I believe, Gordon hasn't looked too clever so far this season which leaves Marshall. Could be between the boy Hamilton if he develops and Bain to become the regular third keeper in future squads.

I gave up caring many years ago, even before the current useless cunt known as Strachan got the gig. Led to many an argument with my younger son, but even he has got to the stage where he barely watches a Scotland game. Strachan, is a stubborn little man with major attitude and a "fuck you" manner. Totally incapable of seeing his glaring mistakes and inadequacies, trying to pass it all off with his own personal brand of humour which I would suspect many of us stopped finding remotely funny a long time ago. His scathing comments re our domestic game just said it all to me. Will forever continue to be an integral part of our club's greatest ever team, but on a personal basis a complete cock of a human being

If anyone actually gives a flying fuck about this, then here's the squad The Scottish Football Association has announced the Scotland squad for the game in Malta at the start of September.

First part is absolute pish. Second part I'll give you.

In that case accept my apology for my cynicism

Mmmm first heard about this alleged incident involving MacLean & Storie on Monday. Here we are days later and bizarrely not a single shred of evidence has made it onto social media, which I find more than a little surprising in this day and age. I take it you were there and witnessed it first hand or you have evidence that you can share ?

PlLaying devils advocate here and not wishing to come across of being a Wiggy lover BUT how do any of you know that the money that was apparently there for Tansey deal in January hasn't already been spent A playing budget covers not only transfer fees but the playing squad wages. Given we have recruited from down south this summer, what kind of wages have we had to offer ? Just saying like

Should have been O'Connor by a proverbial mile

Going to disagree on two points Jute. Firstly although I would agree that for the bulk of the game we never looked like losing, the chance that Watt ballooned over the bar five minutes from time could well have cost us the game. On the point about only one positive from the game I will give you another, namely Anthony O'Connor, head and shoulders our best player on the park. Flatly refused to panic under pressure and his timing in the tackle is first class. Think we might just have got ourselves a player there

Stewart to Birmingham confirmed. £500k apparently. A fair bit below the price Hartley was spouting off about.

Is the date "fixed" for when you get your round or is it open ended ?

Time to bump this one up as no posts on it for some considerable time Is no one reading these days Nomad was ok, but not a patch on I Am Pilgrim Currently reading "The Great Game On Secret Service In High Asia" by Peter Hopkirk Anyone interested in history will enjoy this. Despite studying history at school this covers a period in time which was never really touched upon during the syllabus. Anyone else got any recommendations ?

Oh dear Al....... Memo to self. Read the post twice before replying. At least I can blame it on my year of birth
