Nail on head mate. Sums it up perfectly Squad has huge gaps and is paper thin. My only issue with the Scales scenario as I have previously stated is being held over a barrel and being royally rogered by The Tims.

Ryan Fraser to The Tims, allegedly

The Tims are doing nothing wrong per se, as Scales in a contracted player of theirs. We were never in my opinion getting him ahead of yesterday's game and certainly not on a permanent deal, but now that that game is past, surely for AFC it is stick or twist time. We are now a week and a half away from our best opportunity to play in the group stages of Europe's second top club tournament and IF we are indeed planning on signing a new left footed defender time is running out fast. I'd hate to think that we have put all our eggs in one basket but with all the talk about Scales coming from the club and if we have then lets complete the loan or permanent signing now. If not, then surely to Christ we have other targets lined up and lets move on. Liam Scales is a perfectly competent footballer but he's hardly the next Paolo Maldini and who's to say we can't do better. As I opened this with, the Tims are within their rights but sick of being their bitch hanging about for the scraps from their table. Just my opinion Panda

Zak Vnyer to NewCo allegedly Fucking great news if true if that is the level they are targeting

I'm not sure even the bigoted fuck wit IRA supporting cunts would go for that.

Not having that Settle down min If you're giving a second yellow for that then kerrydale street is your destination mate

Ken fit you mean SeeBass but a little unfair to suggest that today was a poor showing. Poor result yes but poor showing, I don't think so.

Think Stewart Milne is past it to be fair mate Your alternative point however about the necessity to recruit Scales is interesting and think it might actually have some merit

So next twenty four hours to welcome back Scales or tell The Tims to go fuck themselves and we move on. Enough of this fiddling to their tune.

Feel sorry for Devlin. Reckon over the piece he'll be an ok signing and a solid 7/10 most games.

Oh dear

Deflect, deflect, deflect Hunnish or Tim behaviour Take responsibility mate

Going to write to the Director General of the BBC as that is seriously offensive and I'llbe fucked if I am paying a licence fee for shite like that

Too late lads, you had your chance. Someone out there appreciated my gesture. Ticket sold.

Apartment and Ionian Sea to be precise

I get your point mate. Personally think it's just another example of how everything nowadays is played out in the open. This sort of information would never have been getting discussed in years gone by as we didn't have internet forums back then. Trust me back in '83, the thought of how much money it would be worth winning the Cup Winners Cup never entered a supporters head. It was all about the honour. 21st century sport is generally becoming more and more about the money and in my opinion not for the better of sport.

Then you'll be getting fuck all mate It's not easy living on a pension these days

What the fuck Rico Don't you know they have a waiting list of 7,000 for a season ticket. Please show some respect min

Having nightmares already

Ok lads, I have sufficient loyalty points to acquire a ticket for the play off match BUT as I have posted elsewhere I will be out of the country and can't attend, therefore it's simple, the first person to offer me face value (think it is £25) gets it. I'll be watching from afar getting pished.

McGarry is on his way. His partner has popped but assume the sprog and her aren't heading over right away

No bother, shout your obscenities on here towards me as it'll keep you out of the jail

Perhaps I haven't articulated this well or you haven't grasped what I meant. Did Fergie shy away from playing the supposed bigger teams ? No, he took them on, learnt from the experiences and made us better and more prepared the next time around and that is my point about striving to be the best you can be. I'd rather be playing the best and developing any day of the week than playing diddies week in, week out. Opinions vary and each to their own which is the whole point of discussion.

I'll happily take a Europa League group with Brighton in it. Be nice to add it to Anfield, Portman Road and Turf Moor as the English grounds where I have seen us in European action

100% this Always strive to be the best and stretch yourself to your limits Anyone think back in the day, Fergie wouldn't have wanted to be playing in the higher tournament
