Fig Roll

Very sad news, condolences to Wooster’s close ones. RIP

Number 4 signing in too! Have seldom posted as it did seem that anyone with something positive to say was shot down in flames and anyone with something negative to say was shot down in flames! However I agree, the quality of discussion - and banter - has improved recently, to the point I might come out from under my rock more often.

If you take the players in the squad and place them in a sensible position (e.g. NOT Dorrans at centre back or Jerome in goal) then are at least 10,264,320 potential combinations - slightly better odds than picking the lottery numbers!! Anyone feeling lucky?

[quote user="have my howson it"]Think of it as this. Whittaker should be embarrassed. Neil had to change it up after 19 mins to cover Whittaker as the game plan was to get Jacob attacking. To only then get subbed after 45 mins himself. Whittaker should not ever play for us again to be honest. Let''s hope Martin gets back ASAP to cover pinto[/quote] This!

This!

Although we have signed five players this window, in effect, there''s only (probably) three new faces in the first team squad, with Jarvis already here and Godfrey presumably going into the development squad. With AN''s "one or two more" (which I think is actually likely to be three more - a forward, a goalkeeper and possibly another defender) would five or six new players (20% or 25% of the squad) boost or undermine the confidence of the existing squad members? I personally think and hope it will be morale boosting but put the idea up for discussion.

Think there''s a good chance of movement in the goalkeeping department - one in, one out

It''s easier to look at it the other way round: you can name a maximum of 25 over 21''s of which no more than 17 can non home grown

No he doesn''t! Read further down

The law of sod states that we are certain to draw Col Who in one of the cup competitions this year- that''ll be a good atmosphere!!!

[quote user="swindoncanary"]The only teams to finish in the top three of the Premiership are as follows Man. utd. Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool Aston Villa Leeds Notts Forest and Norwich [/quote] And Blackburn? The SAS years

A "Where are they now round?" would be good - lets face it, there are plenty of players from recent history to choose from!

The big problem with all this easy talk on the subject of ''who we should offload'' is that a) someone else actually wants them; and b) the players themselves wish to move rather than sit on their current contract.  The alternative could be to terminate their contract by mutual consent but this has a cost implication when it comes to getting new players on board.

Excellent work CUSDP...........................................And the next snippet of information is?...........

Great news indeed - I am a little intrigued by the fact Maric has only signed for one year.  It''s probably his wish - I wonder if it was the haggling over this that caused the delay.

[quote user="Pappa Charlie"] [quote user="can u sit down please"]Cant believe i completely bodged up his name! ooops![/quote] Should have kept quiet - I thought it was an excellent (deliberate) mix[:D] [/quote] Will he partner Milson, Dejanovic or Gaherty?

Another point of view would be ''are the majority of clubs in this division good enough to counter our plan A in the first place?''

But will Burnley actually up it (most of us reckon 500,000 is silly money for him)?  And Clingan has been on the verge for 10 days now!!

[quote user="ACE"]Less and less for obvious reasons, and once the transfer merry go round is over and the season starts, very rarely. [/quote] It''s the same for me - I actually enjoy this time of year - I don''t know if it''s the anticipation of what gems this club may be signing, or the fact (for the last three seasons at least) that once the season gets here I realise those gems are really zircon [:@] or a combination of the two emotions

This guy was left out of the Barnet v Arsenal friendly on Saturday due to a niggling ankle injury.  This may very well be true but their manager, responding to a direct question, said on Talksport that there was interest from Norwich but what happened was the decision of the chairman.  Putting 2 and 2 together we could come up with 5 but I''ve got a feeling that this answer may very well be 4!

From today''s article on Cody in the EDP - “We have decided not to take young Chris Craig. He showed some good skills, nice touches when he was here, but we feel that we have got other targets in mind that will help us out in a better way next season.” This read as though there are others, apart from the trialists, definitely on the radar??

All good points, well presented - I''ll go and disappear [:(]

Cheers.  I guess that he will be playing today.  St Johnstone being an SPL team, I would imagine that today will see a close resemblence to Gunn''s 1st choice team (using current resources obviously!)
