I'm not a massive fan of cricket, but it seems to me England arn't even playing that well, but australia are contriving to beat themselves, they'd be as well after hitting 30 or so turning round and smashing the stumps. They've been risky with the review system, and in trying to squeeze an extra run here and there. Test cricket isn't exactly known for rewarding risk takers.

It doesn't bother them and we aren't far from artificial surfaces being as good or better than a grass pitch, we are probably at the stage that during the winter months playing and training on 3G is a better option.

Nothing to make me desperate to keep him, but nothing to make me glad to get rid either.ETA: there were a few kenny era signings that I was keen to get rid of so , not bad not great at that time probably made him a decent enough player for us at that time.

Well, i reckon Buffon will want to see out his career at somewhere quieter , oh wait he's over 21. In all honesty I don't expect much, but he played at this level only a couple of months ago and wasn't rated. But its a position that experience is very much the key so finding a good u21 keeper would have been a massive struggle. It's more the fact he's on loan that worries me, there is nothing to suggest he is better than Hrivnak at the moment and loan players tend to be automatic starters.

Not a signing to fill me with confidence especially with id being a loan id expect him to be 1st choice. he isn't rated by either partick or Albion rovers fans but the only time I've seen him was his 20 spell against us where he did nothing. Can't remember the score that day, apparently it wasn't very good. That said I will back him all the way. Hopefully he takes his opertunity.

Not exactly a good week to be hoping for rain is it.

Wanting rid of catholic schools but wanting religious observance(of a strictly prodesdent nature I'm sure) to remain in "non-Dom" schools is absolutely a negative. When one of your more positive policy's is so blatantly born out of bigotry it's easy to notice the OO are a despicable organisation.

I suppose in computing terms it would be version 3.5. I thought the SPL always kept the "subject to board approval" line

I don't know why your trying to bring Scottish nationalism into this, there is an entire tedious thread dedicated to it, this is about mocking hypocritical bigots. But don't worry about that rule Britannia eh.

We wern't posted missing, we've added 2000 to our gate, have reached our fundraising target 2 weeks earlier than hoped, and got the supporters group as the preferred bidder, what exactly more could be done? Fan for fan we have done so much more than the last version of rangers did.

Sell out murrayfield for a friendly? Not exactly realistic. I think Brian Jackson would have been very happy to see 5000 turn up. Our atrocious attitude is getting us very very close to safety. A passed CVA and a continuos history. Bet your gutted your fans didn't have our atrocious attitude, maybe they would have saved your club, and avoided having to create a Phoenix club to play in the 3rd division.

Directors scramble around for excuses when they've fucked up that's hardly new. Our cva has a good chance of passing because pars fans have rallied round to save the club, unlike a certain club from Govan. Are you that desperate to have company for Phoenix clubs? Are the likes of Gretna 2008 not enough?

Yes usual stand behind the goals, could possibly put you in the north east but that has issues with disabled fans.

Good job were not looking for your love or respect then isn't it. Do you really think our or hearts problems have anything to do with you?

This is why we will be moving forward no longer risking our future, We have a system, which equals profit.

So their marching to a march/ parade, seems kinda pointless, especially when it's known to cause so much trouble. If they can't find an appropriate route (which apparently they can't) then simply don't have the march, they can get on buses or drive into the city centre do there thing and f**k off home. Problem avoided.

Have a word with myself? Really ? They are saying we could maybe challenge them, it's very unlikely and we have a good chance of being in a relagation fight, but nothing wrong with abit of optimism.

I think the players back their ability, besides I don't think there is much demand from the fan base to challenge rangers so its not exactly telling the fans what they want to hear. Oh and there must be some form of grant we can get for employing thomson, he has zero chance of earning a wage outside of football.

It doesn't really help when the top bigots basically said that the flag riots were good and that they needed to do similar over the parades commission.

That was about as enjoyable as a friendly can be, made me feel semi-optimistic for the season ahead. Don't think I saw enough of the young guys/ ferguson and buchan to make a judgement, they played well enough but didn't get too much game time.

I like it. Have we ever had a strip that everybody liked? Can't remember one that hasn't had at fair number of people that hate it.

You definitely need to offer a contract of equal or greater wages, but I wasn't aware of anything to do with length of contract, I suspect they didn't consider players only being offered month to month deals. That said I'd doubt compensation would be high enough to justify signing another player, that's if it isn't added straight to the CVA offer.

I think dargo still has enough about him to be good enough at this level, potter I wouldn't want to be considered week to week but I'd hope he would keep his hand in to be used in absolute emergencies.

I don't think a 3rd keeper is too important, we would be very unfortunate to have both out at the same time, and if one gets injured we would probably be able to get someone on an emergency loan.
