Good shout too tho Spud!

+ On the back of Vince getting a shout I always had a bit of a soft spot for Chic Charnley too

Nemsadze still wins it for me but Ketsbaia is another definite stand out.

I didn't stop to read it - it was just on the board on the side of the guys bucky but I did wonder how that was going to work (& who had decided it, given we still don't know if Strachan will be in charge) Eta, seems like it's a bit of a non story coz the only story I could find online is one with Parish saying Bain should get a call up... https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/scott-bain-must-closing-scotland-recall-says-dundee-back-keeper-elliott-parish/

Tele headline saying Bain's getting another Scotland call up

Yeah I didn't expect him to have such an impact but the youngsters are doing great under him so like you say it'd be a big loss

+ in other non fitba news Jordan Piggot is going out with that Jane Park the youngest lottery winner - she's pretty nuts from whats been in the press about her but she's pretty tidy too so well done that lad anyway!

See the papers are reporting that Hartley is after Boyle and McPake as part of his coaching staff at Falkirk

^ this - I was admittedly a bit dismissive of Gowser at the start of the season but we've clearly missed his energy when he's not been playing (& I think that's who McCann's moulding Spence into so I think McCann loves him a bit too)

Now I'm sure Hartley said a few times we had a top notch defence - he just didn't have a clue what that meant apparently coz we had the usual mix of shite at the time, we'd just maybe managed to not make a complete c**t of it that week + Gutted for Gadz tho - the relegator should have def got a better chance than he has!

Good call KT I couldn't agree more - Hartley did better than most but like you say he got given a lot of slack and a hefty budget to buy his way out of trouble (esp in that last season) and still couldn't turn it round so it will be interesting to see how he gets on at Falkirk

I've no doubt, its him that should get stung with the bill though & a boot in the plums for good measure too Thank you

f**k manny, don't remind me - I'm dreading McCann falling in love with him and us having to shite ourselves for the five or 6 matches it'll take to get him punted again...

+ I had just popped on to say http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41518029 hope the c**t gets made to pay for the door too... Thank you

Yeah if he gets the time to play maybe but I can't remember if he was part of Hartley's back 3 revolution or if he was still out (I just remember Holt being pretty decent)

Yeah, I think he might've had an easy ride til he got sussed as been a shitebag tbh + The touch of class and the bombscare - that's the 'continental' bit I was meaning - he always seems to need that bit too long on the ball but then panicked when he was under pressure. I don't remember him always being as shite in the air or at tackling at first either - he maybe was and he just looked better against what we had at the time but I wonder if he's just getting out muscled/intimidated these days? Eta. Either way I don't want to see him at CH for us anytime soon - McCann can experiment with him as a Kamara style sitting mid if he likes (in reserve games) but he gies me the fear in defence

I noticed in one of his blurbs about Spanish Jon, he mentioned how well the two of them worked together & how impressed he was with Julen's skills... Maybe its been a language thing but I think its more he's too 'continental' to play as a CH in Scotland myself - he kind of reminds me of Biton but without as much skill

Awwh shite, you got my hopes up there man

On yerself Randy https://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/fp/dundee-star-randy-wolters-kilmarnock-bad-eaten-boots-wed-lost/

Haha, no worries man I'd had a few when I replied to Ludo

Yeah a barrowload is maybe pushing it given his form at Falkirk but if he was playing like he did when he first signed... & Lol, totally like - Faiss ain't no number 9!

I kind of agree with you... I don't think he was ever that good but he was a huge improvement over what we'd had up til then. His workrate was immense but I think that was actually an issue in the end since he really should have been able to delegate scouting and the like to dedicated scouts and focus his energy on whats important for a manager. His choice of player was wildly hit or miss but his first few seasons he found a few gems but he also picked up utter shite like Phil Roberts and laterly Tom fucking Hateley... + His supposed stubborness/attitude issues were meant to be the reason for the obvious rift that appeared in the team which ultimately comes down to man management for me since we went from a good tight squad to having a group that all wanted away for whatever reasons (Bain, Stewart, Hemmings, McGinn and Loy) and our fan favourite Harkins forced out of the club...

I still think he'd score a barrowload for us with (some of) the deliveries we're firing in this season

Just think how happy Geoff and Steve would be if they could field zombies tho (and I'm not meaning MOH) - the tight fisted c***s wouldn't ever have to pay a signing fee again

It really must be the shitey blue strips then
