  1. I can see Aberdeen switching away from 4231 if maloney signs.... would imagine Maloney & Christie would play with Rooney in a front 3 with McLean coming back to play as a midfielder who supports the attack rather than playing between midfield and attack. McGinn and Hayes are a big loss, but you still have a good team - i would say that you still need a holding midfielder and an alternative to Rooney in the big games.
  2. making it difficult for guys to play football, despite them contributing to the local economy, on the basis of where they were born is xenophobic. Do something similar to the UEFA homegrown rule, that could be decent.
  3. Guid Norn Irish c***s? Do you like the Sassidge Roll Bap CDH?
  4. This. Although I personally am not adverse to the idea of colts teams as long as there are very tight rules.... It would be incredibly stupid to not take the opinion of the supporters of the game into consideration.... most fans don't want it, and most clubs should listen to that.
  5. secondary TV income is probably the thinking... from advertising hoardings to shirt sponsorships, that kinda thing. would it work? i dunno Personally I don't have a problem with colt teams as long as there are ultra tight rules *max 18 players in colts squad over 18 at start of the season *no domestically transferred players allowed to feature (unless via contract expiry - so if motherwell release an 18y/o he can go to hamilton) *no players who have played in more than 10 premiership matches allowed to feature (maybe exception for gk) *19 years and 6 months being the max age at the start of the season *play your home games in a stadium in same city as normal home ground & let the kids in free (for both home and away) *colts start in highland/lowland setup *no bullying opponents into fixture rescheduling because of fixture clash with 1st team/euro youth league/international youth matches. *clubs allowed the option not to have a colts team, but if they restart, they start in highland/lowland league *SPFL to continue a national reserve league for premiership clubs who don't want a B team *mandatory but reasonable further education/ open uni type arrangements and funding for players in colt teams by the colt clubs *no colt teams in scottish or league cups ---------------- i have a feeling that U21 + 3 ringers is what the league will allow though, defeating the point of this being about development and more about "player hoarding"... which would sadly justify the fears of the "diddy club" fans.
  6. most contracts level 2 or lower are generally on a 1 year, 2 year tops basis which end early May right? i think i remember something about this from the 2008 cup final
  7. http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/297329-have-i-missed-something/
  8. I can see the SFA willing to risk all other Scottish clubs' participation in Europe by vouching for Sevco
  9. i don't think clubs have to produce audited accounts as such, i think it's the case that the national FA has to vouch for their existence and quality to UEFA which if i remember right is how the old rangers qualified for UCL in 2010/11 and 2011/12. obviously they missed out on Europa League qualifiers because they no longer existed the sfa would no longer vouch for them in 2012/13. Imagine all Scottish football cops a ban from Europe thanks to Dave's dodgy books =) =) maybe UEFA take it in their own hands now with FFP going on
  10. i think how they cover stuff could have more to do with health and safety than it does with the quality of investigation
  11. his goal rate at sevco was about one in three, pretty good for a wide forward he's 28 though, i can't believe that. What did United see in him that they didn't like... or are they taking him in the summer?
