Archie Knox for interim Jute Utd manager apparently. LoL.

Dobie was on Soccer Am's best of Showboating thing at the end of the year for a goal he scored this season. He flicked it over the keeper and knocked it in, on first viewing it looks fantastic, on second I was of the mind he didn't mean it and his first touch - while being very lucky - was akin to that of a brick wall.

hence the "etc".

This was posted on the hat:

Would be extremely surprised if Paton was farmed out. McGhee has used him out wide as through the middle and obviously thinks he can do a job in both positions. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Maguire going out on loan however.

If we really are after both Dobie and McLean, surely it means Miller is on his way? I'd be amazed if we wanted both if he was staying on. Would also imagine MM is fairly confident of landing McLean if he thinks we can get him for tomorrow. Good to see that talks have started with Barr

I don't like picking up on peoples spelling etc, but that one's a belter. Definitely not to be sniffed at.

Agree on both counts Al. Does make me wonder what the future holds for Zander though...

Maverick - I would say that PP's football odds are generally better than most other bookies. The reason I started using them is that one opened in Cambridge St in Glasgow, so I started going up there on my lunchbreak. Recently though their shop prices have started coming back towards other high st chains but their website seems to hold their odds a bit better.

...taking his invisibility cloak all the way to Falkirk next season?

you should post in this thread more often...

that was surely staged?

Paddy Power are offering 17/10 for Hibs-3 against Irvine Meadow at the weekend. Very tempting.

That'd be an obvious plus side, but is it going to bring more people out to watch it? Not necessarily, and that's what the bigwigs will take into account.

If it's called off, and there are no replays involving the OF, could our game then get shown on Sky when the re-arranged fixture comes around?

on the flip side of an expanded league you're likely to get a lot more games towards the end of the season where nothing is at stake. I'd like to see a bigger league, but i'm not sure it's viable.

The England team that had Andy Sinton, Tony Daley, Geoff Thomas, Steve Froggatt and Carlton Palmer in it? Seriously? Can you tell me how he shouldn't have got in the England team? 30 caps? Really?

In which case it's different shades of shite, so why bother? I'd take Diamond ahead of Irvine, between Ifil, Considine and Irvine... I'd rather have none of them. In the 1989/90 Dons side Irvine looked as though he was the winner of a "Play for the Dons" competition. He was hugely out his depth. Ah... the old "he played for Scotland, ergo he must be good" argument, which is a load of tosh, really, isn't it? John McMaster, Frank McDougall, Brian Grant and Paul Mason. All more than good enough to play for their country at a given time. None of them did. Tosh McKinlay, Kirk Broadfoot, Dave Bowman and Carlton Palmer. None of them good enough to play for their country at any given time. All of them did.

sorry, is this thread solely for my purpose...? "Walk into" is a step too far. If everyone was fit, Diamond included, then I honestly don't think he would. Diamond is a better player than Irvine. Ifil does similar things to Irvine like kick the ball out of play when there is no need, incapable of finding a team mate ten yards away, lunges into silly tackles he doesn't have to make. Considine also does similar things to Irvine, mainly huge losses of concentration. I've said it a hundred times, I know it's not going to be a popular opinion but I just did not rate the guy. Scratching my eyes out with cats claws was preferrable to watching him play for us. People liked him because he was a "nice guy" and cos he kissed the badge. He was largely a poor player. He had his moments, of course and the penalty in the cup final will live with me til the day I die but look at the bigger picture. He had McLeish holding his hand for the first few years of him being in the team on a regular basis and he was pretty ropey then. Big Eck left and it went from bad to worse. You obviously rate the guy and good on ye, but I don't, maybe you should just accept that. And, incidentally, there is not a chance in hell he was a better player than Anderson.

I remember that. Summed up his clumsiness/awkwardness.

You're scraping the bottom of the barrell tonight eh Kow? Two on the bounce... what's next? Billy Dodds - Misunderstood Goalscoring genius?

Happy Birthday Stewart

Neither does Stewart etc and so on and so forth
