  1. In/Oot: In Pre match: Pub somewhere nearish to ground. Match: Wheatfield Stand. Post match: Somewhere in town. Prediction: 2-0 First scorer: McGinn.
  2. Would probably swap Greece for Russia there but pretty much agree with rest. Purely for the trips not qualification would take Bosnia Hungary Turkey Albania Kazakhstan.
  3. According to Evening News deal been done regarding shares that will allow them to exit administration. DEAL to transfer Ukio Bankas Investment Group’s 50 per cent shareholding in Hearts to the Foundation of Hearts has been agreed, the Evening News can reveal. The agreement needs to be ratified legally in Lithuania, but would see a token £50,000 payment for the shares made to UBIG’s administrators, allowing the Edinburgh club to exit administration with the Foundation as their new owners. Hearts’ administrators BDO are proceeding with caution in the hope that the deal can go through despite UBIG’s assets being frozen. Foundation of Hearts already have a £2.5million Creditors’ Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) in place to secure 29.9 per cent of the club’s shares from Ukio Bankas, who are also in administration. The CVA is conditional upon the fans’ umbrella group getting UBIG’s 50 per cent stake. BDO have been in talks with UBIG’s administrators Bankroto Administrativo Paslaugos for some time trying to negotiate the handover of shares. This is the only remaining hurdle to Hearts exiting administration after the CVA was voted through last November. There is now a verbal agreement between both parties for the transfer of shares at an agreed price. It has yet to be decided whether the £50,000 would come out of the £2.5m CVA fund – something Ukio Bankas administrators would need to agree to – or whether the Foundation would meet it as an additional payment. As things currently stand, all of the CVA fund would go to Ukio Bankas, as they are Hearts’ only secured creditor and are owed £15m. UBIG, an an unsecured creditor, would get nothing from the CVA despite being owed around £9m. BDO will continue to work on the deal and their hope is to have it finalised and signed as soon as possible, although they are relying on the legal process in Lithuania to move swiftly and in their favour. Hearts’ funding for the season is due to run out by the end of March and both BDO and the Foundation are keen for the club to be out of administration before then. Foundation of Hearts declined to comment on the matter. Meanwhile, the Scottish Football Association have confirmed that Ryan Stevenson will miss Hearts’ League Cup semi-final against Inverness next month. He was red carded for violent conduct at St Johnstone on Saturday, meaning an automatic two-match ban for his club’s next two matches. Those are Saturday’s league trip to Ross County and then the semi-final.
  4. In / Out: Out Prematch: Musselburgh v Glenafton in Junior cup Match: avioding score Post Match: Alba Prediction: 2-0, Vernon
  5. Never really impressed in the breif time I saw him play. No loss as long as there is a replacement of better quality. A proper full back would nice.
  6. Iron Horse will be open.
  7. Not keen on Goodwillie coming. Off field issues have clearly affected him. Also stories of attitude problems and not training properly having doing the rounds since before he left United the first time. Is he really the sort of player we want bring in to a dressing room that has only just been cleared of the last lot of slackers? Finally most Arabs will tell you Goodwillie plays well in an orthodox 4-4-2 and stuggles as the loan central striker. Would we change our current system to accommodate his style of play?
  8. I had just about forgotten he was at the club. Best for all concerned if this can go through. Zola is clearly not cut out/good enough for our level of football and best for the boy if he returns to 4th division where he will be at his level. If he goes we can use wages to bring a striker who can actually play football.
  9. In/oot: In although pissed off at having to waste a days holiday to go. Pre match: Train then Archies Match: Y Post match: toon. Predicition: Although they are on a good run Hibs looked pish against Jambos and would be disappointed if we did not win this one comfortably. 2-0 Dons Vernon.
  10. Anyone any idea how McManus did at Alloa. Do not remember seeing him mentioned often.
  11. Yes. Was on loan at Yoevil earlier but they sent him back early.
  12. West Ham currently getting hammered 4-0 by Forrest. Allardyce heading for exit door?
  13. 14 games were on loan. 10 at Leeds last season and 4 at Yoevil this year before getting injured.
  14. But he has had assurances that Tan does not get involved in the football side...
  15. Was a decent player before he got injured and a very experienced player. Bit worrying he has only managed 14 games since recovering from the leg break.
  16. Heading up for this. Press and fans hyping this game for weeks. Guaranteed to be a 0-0 shit fest.
  17. Making this one. Bit concerned about defence without Reynolds and Considine but we have looked good going forward in last couple of weeks so hopefully will still have enough to see of Well. In/oot: in Pre match: Archies Match: Y as usual Post match: getting lift home Prediction 3-2 dons Vernon.
  18. Out for this one.
  19. Pretty much what I was getting at. I like Suarez as a player and on song is a joy to watch. However he has history a sudden rash acts all the way back to his time at Ajax. Hopefully he is maturing but if Real make a Bale style bid for him would that be a gamble Liverpool were willing to take.
  20. The form he is in currently would Liverpool be tempted to cash in if Madrid were to make an offer in January given Suarez usually follows a run of good form with an act of madness.
  21. QPR are paying Rednap more than all bar 6 of the Premier League teams! How does he get away with it.
  22. Was there not something in press a while back about Reading wanting to Hector to sign a new deal before allowing him back out on loan as his current one is up in the summer?
  23. Not going to bother going if on tv.
  24. Out Edinburgh City v Spartans 3-0 Vernon.
  25. Out Moving flat Sneaking out to watch local game Moving flat 0-0
