But it's not urgent though is it? We've got a decent back four (as good as last season anyway), plus we've got Considine to cover for Reynolds, Shinnie at left back etc. We need folk in that can win us games in the early rounds of Europe. Our starting eleven, defensively, hasn't been weakened, but every other area of the pitch has. Repairing that disparity is clearly more of an issue, which should be prioritised. Then we concentrate on getting a good defender in.

I thought McKenna was way out of his depth when he played for the first toward the end of the season a couple of seasons back. He looked slow to turn and lumbering in the challenge and poor with the ball at his feet. He was good in the air though and was big. I was very surprised when I read on various forums of how ace he was, I just didn't see it. I think it was from folk who were having a go at Reynolds at the time and were in some way associating Reynolds poor performances with McKenna's okay performances as if that was some benchmark. I dinna think McKenna will make it as I don't think he is good enough, and I don't believe he was ever that promising other than in the minds of a few dons fans. Also, Sibbald is a first division player. He's basically Kallum Higginbotham. Nae good enough.

Because they're all dicks.

Nope. Wingers need to be able to kick the ball in a direction they aren't facing. He's no more a winger than Magennis was a full back

Is it John Souttar's younger bro? If so, very good player.

Aye, he may or maynard make it up here.

I like Murray. Nae a celebrity wank despite the media's best attempt to force him into that. Don't think I've ever seen a player that chases down balls like Murray either (although I'm nae a massive tennis watcher); his determination his unreal. Tennis does enjoy an audience of total wanks though, especially wimbledon with its English cock strawberries and cream. It was the sport that first stole the knobend commentator approach of English fitba with the total over-hype of Timmy Tim Henman and the "will he win it" over-coverage that makes everyone want him to lose and generally hate him (even though he comes across quite well in interview). They've managed to do the same to Murray, through years of gritted teeth; they simply can't help themselves with their partisan balls. They've rammed it up Johanna Konta in the womens too (they've started to call her Jo so that she sounds more English) since she made her international transfer from being Australian to being British in 2012 (fuck knows how that works). Anyway, Eurosport and randoms commentating makes for a vast improvement in the other tournaments. Don't think Murray has the form to win the tournament like, looking like Nadal at the moment, but I'd pit a fiver on Djokovic masel.

Hope not. He'll get snapped up by der hun if he has another good season. Nobody apart from McInnes wanted Tansey, so there was little risk of not getting him. Probably now or never for Moult, but hope we are just trying to break Motherwell down a bit and get him on the cheap.

It's bad when you have to include an opponent's o.g. in your "best bits" compilation.

^^^^This. Notwithstanding the rest of the pish, his posts regarding Milne (the unproven one about Doncaster regularly having dinner at his hoose aside) are entirely correct and very much worth talking about. Especially given the club's decision not to release a statement in response to proven cheating.

Sounds as if it's just getting someone in the door as competition for places if we don't get May or Moult. Moult will have multiple options should he hold on for another year (assuming he has another good season for Motherwell), so it would be crazy to attempt to hold out until next season. He'd probably end up signing for the hun on a free. Welcome aboard Nicky Maynard though. You sound like another Church, fa wis pish, but it's a reasonably risk free replacement for Storey, in that no footballer in Europe could be worse at fitba.

Really? We've got a pretty steady back four in Considine, Reynolds, O'Connor and Logan. In fact, given O'Connor is a better footballer than Taylor (and was more of an attacking threat last season), I'd say it was the one area of the pitch where our first 11 hasn't really been weakened. The lack of replacement for Hayes is the main troubling factor for me. He has been a huge loss in previous seasons when he's missed a game or two.

Did I read that right? Callum Davidson was playing for Saints? I thought he was retired? Aye, a few years ago. Edit: Aye, I read it right. Heap of pish though. Murray. Forgot about him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40475664

Good player. Would far rather him than May if honest. Could ditch Stockley too I'd think as Moult will do that job as well as being a good finisher, and not slow either. Although both would be fine and ship Stockley and Storey.

Torino or Copenhagen probably. Sociedad was actually a pretty good game too.

Good stuff min. Have a simmie.

Neither had AOC. Welcome aboard Sean Machoir.

Aye, I don't see it. He'd have to gamble on getting a hell of a lot more out of him. Depends on budget of course, but I don't see him offering him anything more than a sub role.

All clubs in Scotland should be releasing a similar statement. This isn't a Tim v Hun situation, and we shouldn't let it be portrayed as such. AT covered it nicely on the channel 4 news. The BBC, after hanging Mark Daly out to dry by ignoring his excellent piece of journalism uncovering the extent of Murray's connivance, continue to provide a biased coverage of events.

Whataboutery at the end aside, you've made some glaring errors there. They were not relegated or demoted. They re-applied to join the league and were admitted at the bottom(ish) level without being required to go through the various fit and proper tests that should have occurred. It's a hugely important point, because it unequivocally shows up your other statement "RFC were punished - no point denying they were not punished - not true" as complete horseshit. The fans may have felt like they were being punished. It might have been a difficult time for them. But in straight fitba rules terms they were absolutely, factually and unarguably not punished (other than £250K payable by Craig Whyte, which was never recovered to my knowledge). This is backed up by the fact that at one stage there were two hun teams' memberships in the league structure.

Aye, that was my thought. From memory, they tried to play him into form at Wednesday hence the number of games but it didn't really work. I think Neil will want someone better.

Totally agree, has to be unassigned. The Tim one-upmanship aside, the re-incarnation of der hun has been an absolute disaster for our game and its credibility throughout. The title stripping would go some way toward re-establishing that. I have no desire to see them punished, or others rewarded, but a simple recognition that you can't win by cheating is all that's required here. As well as HMRC taking Ibrox from its present owners and turning it into a slaughterhouse.

Nope. I'd think it far more likely that they'd go after BDO, which would be the correct thing to do. The club are the ones that structured the payments, they're the ones that should pay (or not, given the liquidation). Hopefully, HMRC will try and seize Iprix given that Whyte was deemed innocent, ergo Murray sold the club illegally to avoid the assets being taken by HMRC. Anyway, interesting coverage this morning on the BBC with Chris McLaughlhun. The pathetic wording around "the company that now own the club" shite, pandering to the hun instead of taking them to task as usual. Again, the disgrace that was the Nimmo inquiry again being shown up for both it's incorrectness and deliberate mis-timing. That should be torn up and titles should be stripped. Or are we happy that cheating occurred in our game and should not be recognised?

It's got fuck all to do with Scottish clubs. This is the hun thread for abusing the hun. Any other shite can fuck off.

Get if fuckin up you Jack you hun cunt. Yasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
