Oooft difficult one. I said £6-8 million and it’s bang in the middle. A few decent clauses including a decent sell on; 20% and that’s difficult to turn down. On one hand another 4 months like the end of last season and we might have a few more clubs interested and it’s £10-12 million being offered, on the other... I’m not even contemplating.

If that was aimed at me, I know, that was my point. In accepting they are a new club they'd have to also accept that all the nonsense they come away with is, just that. If they did that, all their mentally/socially/personality deficient followers would no longer be attracted to them, and their revenue sources would dry up. These people feel lost and the horde mentality that club/company provide makes them feel safe and in a sad way fulfilled, somehow. Unfortunately it is also a blight on Scotland's social demographic and culture. I'm in agreement they should have been allowed to go the same way Gretna were. The fan's may have banded together and formed a cohesive and "clean" fan owned club that fully deserved it's place in the professional leagues one day. Although I am doubtful, I think if made to restart properly that which I mentioned earlier would happen and support dwindle. They'd have possibly ended up a Partick or St Mirren sized club or even similar to us, hearts and hibs as everyone would have seen the negative affect the old club had on society as a whole. The green team also reduces in support size and we end up with a proportionate league and a more functional 21st century society.

Aye it's that kind of shite that is making them more dis-likable than when they supported the liquidated club. They've always had huge amounts of misplaced arrogance and the way the last 6 years has played out has only multiplied that. I'd certainly have less ill will towards them if they admitted the old club was liquidated they now supported a new one (with the same abhorrent founding principals), and that they had in fact won nothing as a new club. I suppose to do that would be admitting they let their club die and that would inherently undermine their opinion of themselves as the most loyal and fantastic support. It would also deny them the ability to claim they are the most successful club side in the world, that they were relegated and the world is against them, and that they are attempting to win a 55th top league title. In other words everything that attracts those mentally and intellectually weak individuals to follow them, thereby potentially reducing their support and income.

I'd just rather see them humiliated at this stage. Drubbings in all games and close enough their followers will travel in numbers and undoubtedly embarrass themselves and the company they follow. Arrogant cunts.

I think it’s a decent squad with cover in most positions. We should see less round pegs in square holes. It looks like we have the personnel to play in a number of formations to adapt and take a point/points out of most games. We have a group of good young players who it appears McInnes is willing to give game time too. We’re one short who can play that killer final ball but as others have said maybe Wright or Forrester will end up being that player. Our biggest issue is the Huns have gambled and won and today will increase the size of their squad further, and Lennon gives no fucks (which could work either way for Hibs). We’ll finish top 4, and let’s face it it makes little difference where we end up within that 4 (unless first), if we’d finished 3rd last season we’d be in the Europa group stage now.

Organised maybe. Playing a team with no height or guile in the final third. A team who squandered a one on one with MacGregor by blasting against the near post at the tightest angle when a simple low pass to the other side would have finished it? A team that played cross after cross to 5’8” forwards which were chicken feed for sevco’s 6’+ back six? They are incredibly jammy cunts, both literally and figuratively. I’m hoping their group is drawn as Chelsea, AC Milan, Leipzig, Sevco bit no doubt it’ll be Salzburg, Astana, Malmo.

Ufa get it in the net but ref gives huns a foul because the Ejara lad throws himself to the ground.

Ufa seem to be doing their best to not score though. Take their time to get there then utter garbage in front of goal. Huns playing 6 - 2. Must be about 30 shots 3 on target now... 4 minutes for 2 goals...

huns down to 9

If we bring in this lb/lwb and Gauld who can play anywhere in the forward midfield three (if memory serves). I think it will have been an excellent window. We seem to have cover all across the pitch. Assume also that Ball and the possible Gauld will be loans with opportunity to sign at end of season. Add in the young lads, the mix seems good too.

From some Portuguese site re.sapo.pt

Would have been a harsh red. Plus, the precedent was set with Morelos, violent conduct off the ball is a yellow card. Thought we were shite. Should have signed Mallan he was as good breaking up play as he was appearing to play the final ball. Proper midfielder. Gleeson is slow as fuck and looks soft in the challenge. Ferguson and Devlin and Hoban were decent for us.

I already agreed that a large part of a transfer fee is a players current "package" however that is not the one deciding factor. As has been said some will be the package being offered (what is said player worth to the buying team?), some will be future sell on potential, some will be what he is worth in potential prize money to both clubs, and some will be the bargaining position of the selling club. Or are we suggesting that Scott Brown was on £42k per week at hibs in 2007. Or even that John Stones was on £450K per week at Everton?

I know transfer fees are based on wages (to a large extent) but as has been said we are in a strong position re:length of contract. If Goldson is allegedly worth £3 million, a player who a bottom of the table EPL side has already decided is not good enough, and Tavernier is allegedly worth £3 million to a Championship side... The fee's paid by english clubs for center backs is ridiculous, there is no way we should be going to the table for a potential £3 million offer from any league rival, at this time.

This. They'd need to at least get close to what they paid for Edouard + a % of future sell on fee, they'll offer £800k and Christie (or similar). Arrogant, tight Cunts.

Go to FC United instead.

Shite use of language, from BBC Scotland on Twitter, that will only reinforce the sevco followers fantasies. “McCrorie sent off for a slide tackle”

Time for the EFA to appeal Beckham swinging his leg at Simeone and have the ‘98 World Cup replayed.

Gerrard’s Traynor’s comments fair have them slavering. Seen one lad on twitter saying we should have had three reds. One for McKenna for nudging that mr tattie heed, one for Dom Ball’s violent assault on Windass’s shirt, and another for May after Jack fannied out of going for a header against him.

Games are won and lost in the transitions. These happen all over the pitch. Difficult for creative players playing final balls if there is no one making the runs and the opposition are giving no space. That’s why ours played so many long diagonals. Sevco sat in like a poor team playing a top team because they wanted to counter the fact we would be playing Cosgrove. We were poor today. Their goal was a penalty following an offside that wasn’t given. All their chances were from a hoof forward on a counter. We had one chance and took it. They have all their signings in, I would hope that we’ll have another 3 or 4 in by close of the transfer window. Taking nothing away from the huns it was a very good defensive performance, but if Gerard thinks it makes them a class above he’s in for a shock. Based on today, the tims will stick a 3 or 4 past them each time they play, as will Hibs if our remaining signings are the right ones I’d expect us to also.

You beat a high press with long balls. It was pretty much a certainty we would start with Cosgrove so the hun sat in and attacked on the break. There was no tactical genius to the way they set up after Morelos was sent off, fuck all changed other than their ‘out’ became their wingers. We struggled to break them down and the possession we had was passive but that’s because of the way they set up. The diagonal balls were frustrating but all today really highlighted was how desperate we are for a top striker. Today would have been a day for Rooney his runs would have stretched them and opened space for others. To say sevco were a class above is deluded at best. A Moult or Marquis and we’d have won that by a few despite how poor we played.

Shite performance but fantastic goal from the lad Anderson on his debut. Bit unlucky with his header earlier too.

Just going to place this here... www.stadiumforbath.com About as central a location as you could have in any town. Land would be worth a absolute fortune for housing development.

Did spurs sign someone?

Seem to recall a similar level of arrogance from Bayern in 2008. Didn't they turn up to Pittodrie in their kits, in time for the warm up and leave in their kits after a warm down.
