  1. Stoke manager is hoping to get rid of Liam Lindsay before the deadline, would seem a good fit on paper although I don't remember actually ever seeing him play before.
  2. Fuck off with these short corners. Plan C needed.
  3. We need a Plan B for set pieces. One that doesn't involve climbing on their defenders. We know the referee will blow the whistle at the slightest hint of contact so aiming for Taylor at the back post flanked by 2 defenders probably isn't going to bring much success.
  4. I think it's fair to say our performance mirrored the manager's wardrobe choices.
  5. Bevis Mugabe for fuck's sake. Butthead Hitler to get the 4th.
  6. Time to ask for more money from Forest...
  7. We don’t seem to have much luck with this type of signing, the experienced Scottish player coming back from down south. Bryson, McNamara, Hartley, Rae, that blonde-haired Ex-Hun central midfielder whose name escapes me, all varying levels of pish and extremely poor value for money.
  8. McGeouch played like a man possessed last time we played Hibs, so I'd hope for more of the same from him again. I think a 352 would suit Hernandez on the right flank, Kennedy seems to be a bit of a horror show defensively.
  9. All very dull. Either throw in the young lad Ruth and see how he does or in the style of Jimmy Calderwood throw a dart at a list of random Eastern European free agent strikers and see who turns up. Much more exciting than the latest teenage striker from the fringes of an English Championship team on loan.
  10. Cosgrove and McKenna submitting transfer requests would be utterly pointless seeing that we've been actively trying to sell them for the past year. Might be something in Bryson/Devlin but the rest of it sounds like bollocks to me. No interest in "Cum Dog" ever playing for us, absolute weapon.
  11. Isn’t he a defensive midfielder? Surely that must mean someone is leaving unless we plan to play a 2-7-1 formation.
  12. Better that than points deduction I suppose.
  13. That was Craig Brown-era levels of insipidity. Considine couldn't even manage to snap that saluting prick properly.
  14. They’d be mental not to go for Tommy Wright. Guaranteed mid-table finishes for at least 5 years, for Dundee United that’s like having a free lifetime supply of Calor Gas.
  15. I think we are well staffed to utilise a 352 with Hernandez and Hayes as wing backs. I assume Hayes coming means we won't be signing Leigh permanently. Lewis Taylor (or Logan may be suited to go a bit more central as he loses his pace) McKenna Considine Hernandez Ferguson Ojo Kennedy Hayes McGinn Cosgrove I don't think we can see another season of McGinn out wide, Kennedy also looks better through the middle than out wide, Hernandez doesn't look like he can be trusted to defend properly and it'll be a stretch to expect Considine to spend another season galloping up the left flank.
  16. No, that record lasted about a week, Kairat played Bordeaux in the next round.
  17. Shades of Calderwood's last season. Played awful football, seemed to be dropping points all over the place, but still end up in the European spot at the end.
  18. All this talk of league re-construction on-the-fly and "all promotion, no relegation" doesn't sit well with me. Looks like a cowardly attempt at avoiding a legal battle more than anything. No point running scared, Hearts will need to sell half their first team just to pay the lawyer fees.
  19. I think the "least worst" scenario would be to complete the pre-split games and finish it there, if no improvement in the situation by end of April, play the games behind closed doors. Avoids issues with contracts and transfer windows and at least gives everyone closure for a couple of months. I don't envy the people that need to make the decision.
  20. If the season can't be completed, not fair to leave the league table as it stands because not all teams have played the same amount of games. Best void all results and revert the league table back to how it was before any games were played
  21. Take the opportunity to build something mental. 4 distinct two-tier stands, bottom tier bigger than top tier, each with a roof that jacks up and down to hide the top tier if not in use. Standard configuration (14,000 seats - 4.5k along the pitch, 2.5k at each end), single tier all the way round, then can lift the roof on each individual stand as required. Maximum capacity 22,000 (top tier along the pitch 2.5k, at each end 1.5k). Recycle the parts off old decommissioned jack-up rigs, have ourselves a sustainable, dynamic stadium with a bit of character.
  22. Bring back the auld site Jeff, ye radge!
