I didn't say he wants to leave, I said I wouldn't be surprised if he left in the summer. His contract is up in a year, he a very good keeper which will have been noted at other Clubs and I shouldn't imagine that the Club would want him to leave for free next season.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Joe Lewis was away too...think his contract is up next summer and he looked really pissed off on Sunday at the end when he was handing his gloves to a young kid.

Congratulations (though I suspect it'll be years not days you'll be busy). Your new one will share a birthday with SAF. Happy New Year to you and yours.

KO time means 2 nights stayover in Glasgow...great.

Why do they have to return any they don't sell - couldn't the Club just take the hit, after all they wouldn't have budgeted for a semi-final appearance.

You probably weren't around when Tommy Pearson was manager when consecutive bad performances were the norm. For instance we draw 0-0 with East Fife (then a poor 2nd division side) in the 1st round of the Scottish Cup and then lost 1-0 in the replay 4 days later. Though it did have a happy ending 'cos it led to the manager resigning and we got Eddie Turnbull.

Intuition, guess or are you in the know? If the latter, when?

You've got a PM.

Looking for a ticket as I bought one from a (regular) poster on Aberdeen-mad but it hasn't arrived. Assume he went on holiday and forgot to post it (haven't been able to contact him since) or it's lost in the post. Train and B&B already booked so will be travelling to Burnley regardless.

Liverpool fan at work today said Ward was going to be given a run as 1st choice after Karius made another couple of blunders in their pre-season friendly.

If that happens wouldn't be surprised to see Ian Wright try to lamp him - Roy Keane as peace-maker?

Well they will get a result but doubt if it'll be a good one. Very few cars/houses with flags at the moment down here but expect that to change tomorrow. Ah well, at least I'll be the gym to myself this afternoon.

Really? Looks OK in this clip (about 2:30min in) www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhU54Mh8clc

Because the English hate France?

Sadly if that was the case we'd have even more cry-offs that we already do.

Be great if we could organize a pre-season friendly with 'Pool.

You were saying...

Wish you wouldn't mention "live as" on Alba - recorded the last 2 (Thistle and Hearts) but watched neither 'cos piss poor games and results. Law of averages?

Naw, it's between us and the cheeks (for the next 90mins at least) ...Hibs are already out of the equation.

There was a cat invasion last week in the Besiktas v. Bayern game...Besiktas got fined and the cat was voted man of the match by the fans.

Harper and McKay

Just a well as neither Cooper nor Simpson were born in Scotland!

Disagree with you there, DD. Both my kids were born down here and my daughter, especially, identifies herself as Scottish.

Totally agree...if DM wanted to go the long ball route he should have held on to Stockley at least he could occasionally hold onto the ball or play in some-one...neither Rooney nor May are going to do that.

Not if they read this or Ab-mad
