The fat Hun's appeal failed so he'll serve a two game ban

Team: Lewis Logan Hoban consi lowe McGinn shinnie Ferguson Wright Stewart cosgrove No gms or may, be interesting to see how Wright does.

The team is on a good run, our centre forward is banging then in, and some people (someone?) wants May dropped just because we’ve signed Stewart? To think that May, and the rest of the team for that matter, hasn’t had an influence on Cosgrove’s form is naive in the extreme. Footballers don’t operate in isolation and if you’ve got a good thing going you don’t break it up just for the sake of it. That’s not to say there isn’t room for Stewart anywhere, or even him and May with Cosgrove as per the Hamilton game, but it’s never going to be as easy as “Stewart’s better than May so get May to fuck”.

Is that definitely true? Can’t see the owner having been named anywhere reliable and I see it’s connected to a company in Suffolk, although they say it isn’t owned by them. Daily Mail(!) says it was chartered by “the McKay family”.

The Cardiff chairman is quoted on the BBC saying the club had not booked the plane and that Sala had done so himself.

Excellent post. Have a Simmie

Maybe this is the year of righting a few wrongs. Stenny next week, Queens in the 1/4s and Timothy in the final. All teams we owe a cup beating too.

Clarke should say what he means rather than hinting at whatever it is that’s upset him.

Why? We’re obviously paying more to Birmingham than killie were or could but why would you assume that’s got any connection to future contracts?

Being linked with Jaden Brown, a young left back who has just signed for Huddersfield from Spurs. England u19 international. Large pinch of salt though as it may have originated from Agent Kevin, even though it’s being quite widely reported now.

Martin O'Neill confirmed as Forest manager.

Scott Allan’s undoubtedly got the potential to be a decent signing (not that I think it’ll happen). However, I’m not sure where he fits into the team as it currently stands. Our fun of form in December was when we settled on a system with two hard working midfielders and May playing off Cosgrove. Allan won’t do the same job as Ferguson or Shinnie as he’s a number 10, and I don’t think he’d put in the shift that May has of late either. So we’d need to go back to 4-2-3-1 to accommodate him, which is all well and good but we’ll need to sign a striker who can play as the “1” because the ones we currently have don’t suit that system. Stewart I could see as a straight swap for May; a different type of “second striker” but a potentially more prolific one.

Centre mid isn't a priority. That's not to say it can't be improved, but, in order, we need a striker, a left back and another winger before we need to consider centre mid.

Whit?! Moral fibre? Should he have turned down the chance to move to a bigger club and advance his career just because of the team he supported as a boy? That’s a nonsense attitude.

How big a pot did you need to make soup for that many folk?!

Last time we played a team bouncing back from a humping it didn't go too well for us...

4-0 up at home and ball comes on for May?!

What a player! Was it on here someone called him “a poor man’s Jayden stockley”?

The story goes that we had a deal agreed with Christie but when Celtic failed to get John McGinn they called the Christie deal off. Zero chance of getting him now that’s he’s doing well at the tims and signed a new deal.

In terms of who is the greatest in any sport, I'd agree with those who say it's very difficult to compare different players from different eras. One thing that I think does separate certain individuals is whether they've actually contributed to major changes in their sport. For example, in snooker, Stephen Hendry pretty much paved the way for the modern game by making long potting something to be attempted rather than avoided. Until Hendry came on the scene, snooker was very safety led and then he arrived taking on and potting anything in sight. Does that make him better than O'Sullivan? Maybe not but I think it should be a big factor. You can also say the same for Tiger; he pretty much led the way in aggressive, attacking, long-driving golf. Again, does it make him better than Nicklaus? Debatable but a consideration.

In general terms I wouldn’t mind keeping ball to fill the squad, however, I can see him blocking dean campbell’s progress and id rather we kept drip feeding him into the team.
