Great idea. Let's not sign anyone that resides more than 50 miles from Greenhill Road.

I would love to know the footballing capabilities of some of the participants on this and other posts. It's very easy to criticise a player. However, some of the comments on here are an absolute disgrace. I would love to see Tommy Craig do a Harry Redknapp and let these critics show how good they are on the park.

Man City obviously rate Plummer very highly going by Vieira's comments. If he's good enough he's old enough as they say. We've signed guys older and more experienced and these guys have failed. Like Dummet and Newton he'll be looking to make a good impression, only time will tell. Let's get behind him and give him a chance.

Agreed. I would have thought it in the BoD interests to have a feel for what the supporters would buy and not just hope for the best. The home strip should be black/white stripes with a simple V neck IMO though I liked the look of the hijacked Germany away strip.

It looks like something a Darts player would wear.

My thoughts exactly.

Totally agree chap. Who had hear of Ismael Concalves???

He made two pit stops on the way.

Totally agree with your post. I liked Butcher, as a player, a manager and by all accounts a good guy.He must have had targets either lined up or on the radar after letting so many go. How can Hibs attract players until the players in question know who the new manager will be. Very strange. Good luck Terry Butcher.

I do see your point WRT renting out to the community and other clubs. However, I can't see the rental fees being cheap as well as the fact there are other AstroTurf (or artificial surfaces) parks at various other locations within the Paisley area. Just my thoughts though.

The best by far. Funny, I watched it last week on YouTube.

Rick just popped his clogs...... Volvo for sale.

How many Saints games have been postponed in recent years due to the weather? I can only recall 2 which were the Ross County game that was abandoned and a Boxing Day game against Aberdeen. The Aberdeen game was called off not due to the condition of the pitch but the surrounding roads. I think it would be a lot of money that could be better spent elsewhere within the club considering we have Ralston and the dome.

I think if Hearts didn't start the season with the 15points deduction and considering it was more or less a very young team, they would have stayed up. I would take Stevenson no problem. I think he'd be a good signing.

Want a hand was yer coat?

Agreed. Though I find it a bit strange that they go by their strange religious rules (like the Taliban) where they want to live in the dark ages but yet pull out a IPhone 5s and film some poor bastard being beheaded then uploading to YouTube.

I worked there with NG Bailey (90 or 91 I think) late feb or early march I was working up one of the towers. It was so cold that you couldn't feel your fingers, so much so that I dropped a pair of pliers and down they went hitting a handrail below on the way down and taking a wicked deflection taking them on earthward with great spread. The said wicked deflection took them out with the barriers that had been put in place below. I could see this figure with scaffold boards over his shoulder walk into the flight path of the pliers and struck him square on his hard hat. He collapsed like a cheap tent. I got my mate to get on the radio for a medic as I made my way down the ladders, the closer I got the bigger the guy lying sparkled on the deck became. I thought feck this guy is going to kill me. He was on his feet by the time I got to him and expected one of those shovel hands knocking me into next week. He couldn't have been nicer, his hard hat had split in two but he was in injured. That was my first encounter with the man. I met him many times since and used to joke that I was the last man to knock him out. He was a proper gent.

Sorry, should have read.... Prevented a custodial sentence.

If a player owes the club anything then my opinion McGowan does. The club could have terminated his contract over the court issue but they stood by him. That may (as many on here wanted) a custodial sentence. Just my view.

Cuthbert, Adam and Carey were loan signings though, not brought through the ranks.

Very sad.

I watched the game on TV, Thistle fans would probably think we were there for the taking. A draw isn't by any means a bad result IMO.

A fit Teale would be like a new signing despite his age. We've all seen what he can do and I would have him in the starting line up every week if he's even 90% fit.
