In fairness calderwood was given some money to spend on transfer fee's, the club had a bigger wage budget due to higher attendances and a better tv deal, the global recession hadn't started yet and in general the football on the park across the spl was of a higher standard (not by much i grant you). I blame the demise of calderwood on milne for not backing him financially after the copenhagen game. If we had strengthened then with a couple of players rather than punting clark and hart for meagre fee's i think we would have continued to improve under that regime. The club went into decline after we went out of europe after steady progression previously. Going out of cups 3 years running to lower league opposition put pay to JC and that was that. I found it harsh that he was sacked after getting us into europe but i wasn't gutted he was leaving, at the time i was still fucking raging with him for sucking up kyle laffertys ass after the game he screwed us at ibrox. "charlies come off saying he's no touched him and charlies an honest player but..... ya know..... big kyle he's an honest player too" Whatever can be said about JC i still find it interesting that no-ones offered him more than 6 month contracts ever since. Scottish football is totally fucked. The problems we face are all down to the shocking financial climate that the league has developed. Milne has made many mistakes but the biggest i feel is that as chairmen of one of the biggest clubs in scotland he has not rallied the chairmen of utd, hearts, hibs, motherwell etc etc to stand up to the old firm. They are the biggest problem with our game. Two giant parasites that are..... no actually have sucked all the life out of scottish football. The laying down to their demands of 11-1 voting when the spl was formed was the first step to the road to oblivion. Its been 26 years since we won the league and no one outside the O/F has won it since. Its no wonder folk are turning away in droves, the product is piss poor, the best you have to aim for is 3rd and even if you manage that you're probably going to get horsed out of europe in august anyway. There are of course other factors like the saturation coverage of the epl which has helped the decline of interest in going to games but this has added to the effect rather than causing it. Scottish football needs to start afresh. Scrap the 3 ruling bodies and start again. A good league to take inspiration from would be the bundesliga imo

you should click www.afc-chat.co.uk I think you will feel right at home

The souness of the womens game? Amazing she stayed on the pitch!

wifes due to drop a sprog today

Well I think I have every right to be a bit miffed at not getting invited to the conference, jagers mum is forever calling me an animal :-)

What tyrant said

Its pretty fucking lame. I dont see any mention on being taken up on animal cruelty for putting live animals in a fridge in thinking about repurcussions of previous activities. The reason why a lot of people got questions wrong is because they are stupid fucking questions with stupid fucking answers. The whole "you can only evaluate what is in front of you" ideal is all well and good but it does little for encouraging rational thought when you have to think of things like twenty foot tall fridges and animals of different species all huddling together to listen to a Lion guest speaker.

It was pretty funny. The unsaid context seemed to be why am I not being interviewed by a real journalist

Can you ask him for a full back as well please?

Anyone see fergies post match interview? Basically told the lassie stop asking stupid questions

I hope he doesn't start whipping out jesus saves type propaganda like Juan Sara used to do at Dundee

I'm starting to get dejavu here. Im sure two years ago we were short of fb's and kept on signing strikers

tumbleweed indeed dave................................ i must confess i did snigger a little bit though

some very interesting champions league games this eve. Biggest is easily barca vs milan but chances of getting that on in the pub are hee haw when chelsea and arsenal are on. Dortmund v arsenal could be a real goal fest (obviously its worth sticking a few quid on 0-0 now i've said that.

Aye still pretty gutted we didnt get flood

arabs unlucky not to equalise a couple of times

Agreed, its been an entertaining fixture, refreshing change for a scottish game. Johnny russel is clearly a wee njaff, tattoo lower arms usually = total throbber! would be very very funny to see utd win this with 10 men and the hun fallout afters

defo worth a look, always a player i've rated. I still think we are much more in need of another full back and someone who can actually create chances for a striker as opposed to another striker

I would rate fyvie higher than pawlett to be honest

i love rich hall check this

Aye im really enjoying it padre, very well written and highly original

The last big god squader we had was dobin i think. As an athiest i wince at anyone making life decisions on the grounds of what their favourite imaginary friend thinks but if he comes and scores the winning penalty in the scottish cup final i'll get over it

its funny cos its true!
