  1. The dome is empty half the time, don't think any youth clubs would struggle to get a slot.
  2. Glad to see the board make the decision quickly. If we can get the right manager in the season can still be salvaged. It’s early in the season and we are only 7 points off the playoffs. I think on paper we have a good team and just need a couple of players to strengthen in the middle of the park and defence.
  3. Think the fire alarm went off half way through Cameron McPherson's hair cut.
  4. What kind of wage do you think Ben Gordon was on if him going on Loan would cover paying off 8 months of wages for the manager and assistant .
  5. The letter I got said we would be moved for the Falkirk game on the 1st which is the next home game so I'm assuming it has either already started or will by then at least.
  6. Yeh I dont have a problem moving just wasn't aware it was happening. Sounds like work has already started. Only slight issue for us is that there are 6 of us who sit together.. 4 in row k and 2 in the row in front. The 2 in front weren't part of the group of season tickets to be moved so we're being split up, but to be fair the woman in the ticket office said they may be able to move them next to us once all the other season tickets are moved in the back 4 rows.
  7. I got a letter from the club yesterday informing me that they are building a raised disabled platform in the Main Stand and therefore need to relocate some people with season tickets in the back four rows of sections M1 and M2 to a new row they have put in M4 in front of the press seats. I phoned up the ticket office today and they have moved the 4 of us who sit in row K together along to the new row in M4. I had heard talk of a disabled platfrom being installed but didnt know it had been confirmed and would be going in the main stand, was this common knowledge?
  8. Rangers U20s team finished 13th last season in the development league, why should they get this opportunity when other SPFL teams aren't.
  9. Shout out to Neil for lobbing the keeper from nearly the half way line only for it to be ruled out cos the ball was out of play before it apparently
  10. Put it towards BnW Army 8 asides kitty for nights out . Agree that £8K isn't alot of money though and we should be saving it up for a bit to use for something more substantial but since this will be the first quarter since the takeover it would be good to use it for something just now just to demonstrate the advantages of having this seperate pot of money.
  11. Surely we should be playing the U20s team on Saturday? Since this is now a competion for 'Colt' teams and also since our U20s team seem to be better than our actual team and have won 2/2 this season.
  12. Falkirk game on the 1st has been moved to 5.15pm to be on Alba. This messes with our night out plans.. should we get a good bevvy on pre-match and then hit the game.. or skip it and watch on tele in the pub .
  13. The main problem for me isn't the formation or players Rae puts on the park but the basic tactics. We signed Sutton who is great with his head and we signed a couple of wingers and gave Morgan a new contract.. so you would think we would play with width and get to the byline to get crosses in for Sutton to attack. For the entire 90 mins on Saturday Irvine and then Walsh when he came on were launching in crosses from just past the half way line and even in our own half a few times. The only time we put crosses in from the final 3rd was a couple of corners and the long throws which eventually led to the goal. Long balls into the box from that far up the park is so easy to defend against, the best Sutton can do is try to knock it down to Hardie or Clarkson but that just wasn't happening. It was obvious to myself and everyone standing around me that this wasn't working but we continued to do it the whole game.
  14. If it's any consolation I had Roma to draw along with draws in the West Brown and Villareal games .
  15. Is the Monday game on tonight or does it not start till next week?
  16. So your comparing the working class to criminals?
  17. Can't tell if your on the wind up here or not .
  18. Thats where the '10 times as many people in England' comes in.
  19. Have we signed Fraser Burns on loan?? Get the big man starting up front on Saturday! Also.. check out Mallans cheeser
  20. Probably because it costs £25 a game now.
  21. Ah I see...so people who consider themselves middle class are pompous arseholes who believe they are too good to mix with the scum at footie games?
  22. Middle class and working class don't exist anymore. What makes you working class? Being a plumber, electrician, joiner etc? They make more money than anyone working in an office these days. I'm an engineer, I have a degree.. does that make me middle class? Because I like going to the football and so do most other people I know who would also be classed as middle class. You say the EPL rebranded and aimed at the middle class driving prices skyward... is that what you want here? The cheapest Arsenal season ticket costs over £1K. If we could weed out people who swear and shout abuse then great, but that would mean a big drop in attendences in the short term at the very least and the scottish game can't afford that. There is no point comparing English Football to here when it comes to attendences, there are 56M people in England compared to 5.5M in Scotland and there are only slightly more teams in the top 4 Leagues down there.
  23. Yeh because we have a surplus of people wanting to pay to attend football matches in Scotland.
  24. I think if you banned every fan who shouted something along the lines of 'Irish Pr*ck' we wouldn't have many left in scotland judging by what I hear Saints fans shout at their own players never mind opposition. I dont think it's really sectarian or racist it's just heat of the moment calling someone a Pr*ck and throwing in their nationality. Not saying it is right but it happens at every football ground in the country every saturday.
  25. Any word back from the club on availability for a game on another night Brian? Looks like I won't be back in for a few weeks still half down the list, you lot need to go on more holidays!
