I heard a rumour that he trawls the internet looking for bangkok chickboys. ALLEGEDLY.

Stop projecting your own bad habits on to others.

Probably still the best midfielder at the club and 2nd best centre half so would be a big loss as doubt we would have the funds to find a replacement with the same ability.

 

 

Bring it on 

Thats the home end from memory and now got a roof on it so not in that end....................unless of course you are advocating the 80s habit of taking the home end??

Teams used to do the same when Pars had their glorified carpet

KNEE JERKER GET OVER IT LETS MOVE ON AND GET BEHIND TEAM AND MANAGER

WE,RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN EVERY WEEK

CMON YOU REDS 

So it acceptable to get beat by Hamilton?

Thing is tho, the ones that are saying that our league isnt cometitve are the ones that are actually creating the myth that Scottish football is an inferior product.  These being the igorant, single minded arseholes in the glasgow media in particular but the Scottish press in general.  Last weekend is a perfect example.  A poor hun siude lost to an average tim side, the game wasnt particulaly a good game of football to watch, much poor play, missed passes etc and in general a lot of hype.   Whearas, Aberdeen V Hearts, everything to play for, two teams trying to play football, both in form and fighting for the Euro spots, with the biggest crowd BY FAR out with the OF game.  Did it get decent coverage in the Sunday papers? DId it fuck.  Barely a mention in the hunday mail, lots and lots about the non event infirm match tho, and as for the Scotland on Sunday, 'kin hell. A Seven page pull out.  Why? Agian with the usual substandard passing mention about our game.

 

 

Until the press in this country get a grip and start covering the rest of the league in a more positive light, our game will always be viewed as falsley inferior.

 

Thing is this sub standard coverage would be even worse if old firm were in a Euro league. There would be even more more coverage of tims/huns v Ajax or Feyenord and even less coverage of our league. Less media interest would mean less interest from sponsors so less money again. Clubs are struggling to survive as it is so any further cut in income would probably mean the end of full time football in Scotland and if the league was to go semi pro then even the half decent players would then be off down to England so standard would drop further.

Anyone any thoughts on drinking holes ?

None. We will just have to get pissed on the train.

Where the fuck can we drink before the game?

There are a few pubs on Burnbank Rd and Almada Street that are all with in 10 mins walk/stagger of the ground. Silver Tassie and Harveys were two of the pubs I was in last time that were ok. Used to be a pub across from the Station called the Accidemical Vaults that the home fans drank in but not sure if its still there. I see Chambers Bar have a post on chat inviting supporters clubs to head there but you need to be booked in.

JC in the Daily Retard this morning giving the idea his full support.

Infirm are sadly a necessary evil for Scottish football to survive. If they were to leave the league would lose most of its income as tv, radio and other sponsors would no longer have an interest in the also rans. All scottish clubs are struggling to survive as it is. I doubt professional football in Scotland would exist if income was to be cut further.

Have given Miller stick in the past so only fair to say when he does well and he did yesterday. Excellent performance

nice win at a stuffy venue, cally were shite utter shite i think that they are in trouble, thought we were outstanding in the 15-20 mins then took the foot off the gas, were never in danger of losing a goal though, 2nd half was the same had a good period then held the ball, hopefully we are going into our tough run of games with enough confidance to get at least 2 maybe 3 wins.

 

2 points i would like to make though.

 

i hope that now calderwood has found his settled team and settled formation that he keeps it, said at the start of the season that was our main problem unfortunatly historicly this is around the time that calderwood tinkering again and that often causes us to start playing poorly again. the way we are playing just now there is NO need for changes. Will we see the team that has played well in the past few weeks against hearts, celtic and rangers i honestly dont think he will resist the temptation.

 

2nd point why wasnt tokely sent off that was an awful tackle, went out to do our player made no effort what-so-ever to play the ball.

Pretty fair assesment of the game. Not seen many games won as easily as that one. Caley are utter shite and in serious danger of going down which would be a pity as going there is the only real away day left now.

Also agree with point on Tokleys assault on Aluko. He made no attempt to play the ball.

I had no idea there was a 5 year rule.

 

Joke club, joke league made to look even worse with no sanction for coming the cunt. Total joke.

Agreed.

Other leagues I've been too:

 

Div 1:

 

Dunfermline

Livingston

St Johnstone

Partick

Dundee

Morton

Airdrie (old)

 

Div 2:

Arbroath

Raith

Queens Park

 

Div 3:

 

Forfar

 

Been to all of them plus a good few in Highland league, East of Scotland and Juniors. And before anyone says it yes I am a sad shallow cunt

Been to all although not seen the Dons at Hamiltons new ground but have seen a Scotland U21 game there.

No I hate you all unless you are buying me beer in which case I will tolerate your existence until you run out of cash to buy me beer.

£22 for Hamilton!! Might not go now. Might just join Jagerdeen in the pub instead.

If they could be persauded to let them go then would think that we should make an offer for Cowie and Black from Inverness. Also still think we (along with near enough everyone else in the league) need an out and out goal scorer. Keeper would also be nice as Bossu frightens me.

Might be a better idea to contact AFC and tell them that you are looking to start a supporters club in that area and asking them to put details on website or supporters club page in the programme if they still do that.

First top was 1980 red addidas one. Favourite home top was red pin stripped one form 82 -83 period. Favourite away top is probably white abtrust from early 90s.

Cannot remember there being any bars near the ground. There are few in the town centre that were ok but they were not overly keen on football fans. Still shouldbe a good day out. Can always stop in Stirling for a few on the way there or back.

If you do not want to sell your players you do not big them up in the papers.

According to Edinburgh Evening News some of the Hearts players were not paid on Monday as was originally claimed. Article below.

Several Hearts players still waiting for wages

By BARRY ANDERSON

SEVERAL Hearts players have still not received their overdue wages from last week, the Evening News can reveal.

Certain members of the squad, understood to include Andy Driver, Bruno Aguiar and Christos Karipidis, were not paid on Monday when the club processed outstanding monies for their players.

As of this morning, the individuals concerned were yet to receive their salaries. They were asked to be patient about the issue during a meeting with senior Hearts officials yesterday, however, no date has been given regarding when wages will arrive.

A Tynecastle source said: "It seems not everyone got their money on Monday and there was a meeting about it."

With this week's salaries due to drop into players' accounts tomorrow, players have been left fearing a repeat scenario of last week's delay.

Wages initially failed to arrive last Friday with the club and officials at Vladimir Romanov's Ukio Bankas Investment Group, Hearts' parent company, stating it was simply a time delay and that payments would go through on Monday.

It has emerged that, while many players did receive funds at the start of the week, some did not.

Furthermore, Arbroath are ready to intensify their attempts to recoup a sell-on fee from Hearts for Andy Webster.

The Gayfield club agreed to accept £14,437 plus VAT from the £150,000 Wigan paid Hearts for Webster following a ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport in January this year. However, that debt is still outstanding.

John Christison, the Arbroath chairman, said today: "We had a board meeting on Tuesday night and we discussed a number of things we could do to try and get the money," confirmed Christison.

"We are in touch with the SFA over this but one thing we could do is to ask to freeze their gate receipts and we could also look at applying a signing ban.

"We have been too nice about this for too long and it's sad it has come to this."
