    I watched the Quarters and Semi's in UK last week and agree Adrian Chiles should be shafted back to a politics program on a channel nobody subscribes to but I do prefer ITV's commentary with Andy Townsend. Also the UK public are paying for Shearer and Co's BBC trip. Anyway onto the football. If Messi performs to a 9/10 or 10/10 he could win it but if he is below a 8/10 then Germany could cruise this 3-1.

    If quite a lot backed 7-1 then they had insight info.

    Bit of a blow, Ive no doubt Nerlinger would have been able to identify a good standard of player. That was only step one, we then needed a proper coach to develop players.

    Have to agree to disagree there, I watch Championship games and 'superb' would be really extreme.

    Media globally spew lies out all the time and public believe it. If they control what public can only see then they will believe it.

    It was / is the worst Brazil team ever. They weren't even good in the group stages and Chile were by far better in the last 16. The only time they played half well was against Colombia. Didn't see Holland pumping them 3-0 though.
  7. Gribz
    The pressure will be on very early if we don't beat Hearts in the opener and Hibs in the league cup. Those games will give us a good measurement of where we are for the season.
  8. Gribz
    Agreed, global bad press.

    I think they should scrap the 3rd place game, its meaningless and after you are knocked out you just want to get on your holidays. With the hosts being in it they will want to put on a show but the Dutch wont be bothering to much. The focus should be all about the final now. Don't think we will see a classic on Sunday, 2 team who will cancel each other out. Messi has only shown flashes of quality but certainly hasn't carried Argentina like Maradona did in 86, its been more like Argentina crawling to the final in 1990 when Maradona was playing with injuries throughout the tournament. Germany are stronger all over the pitch and I fancy them to win but Im hoping Argentina lift the trophy.

    To be fair he didn't offer massive promise for us and has only come good for Leeds in the last 12 months. Id say the price tag is on the high side.

    1 or 2 will likely go out on loan. I think Ally needed to get a right back in as Foster is the only natural RB and isn't rated by a lot of fans. It will probably be trimmed to 23 with Gallacher (GK), McAusland, Gasparatto going out on loan and maybe the sale of a couple. I used to like Kyle Hutton as a player but of all the signings and re-signings this summer he is probably top of the list that wasn't needed.

    I don't think its a bad signing and its certainly not Simonsen's fault. Having goalkeeper experience around is quite important. If it was John Burridge then I could see the argument against. And its nice to have a few footballing threads on the go....

    I hope our manager see's it as simple as you do. There is potential in our squad as you have listed and I still think Peralta will be a good player if played properly and then you have players like Shiels who if is fit can still bring something different to our team but I expect to see McCulloch at the back and Miller put on the right in a 4-5-1. I think we are due something from Templeton, he has got a lot in his locker but seems his mind is elsewhere. Hoping he knuckles down and he could easily be POTY if he wants. Boyd could have a field day (season) if Templeton does well.
  14. Gribz
    I think this is a good signing, we are finally getting real defenders in the squad and surely McCulloch cant be first pick. As Gunslinger said Cuellar would have been the ideal signing as he is free but wages would be a problem but Zaliukas is still a good purchase.
  15. Gribz
    Where is Der Berliner, he usually puts up a good update of the squad with everyone in their positions.....that will give us a good view as to where we need to strengthen. But Id guess we have enough for the season. Its still not a good long term squad but its strong enough to win this league. And Under a good tactician this squad should comfortably be in the top 2 in the country. Bell, Simonsen, Gallacher Foster, Faure, McAusland, Mohsni, McGregor, Zaliukas, Gasparatto, McCulloch Wallace, Smith Aird, McKay Macleod, Law, Peralta, Black, Hutton, Shiels Templeton, Crawford Miller, Boyd, Daly, Clark, Gallacher

    Sorry, didn't see a thread was already started, was travelling over night. Pity it isn't at Hampden.
  17. Gribz
    Not sure Cal. Perhaps they are but in that case it wouldn't need rescheduled?
  18. Gribz
    Another good pay day for Queens Park as that will mean a big away support at Hampden although it has to be rescheduled. Glamorous ties in the cup - Hibs at home in the Petrofac Cup and a trip to Hampden in the League Cup. But lets see if Ally can improve his cup record first.

    Agreed, I was having a wee bounce every Argentina pen that went in and a bigger bounce when the keeper saved two. From day 1 I had an excel predictor and had an Argentina v Germany final. Silly not to bet it in the bookies. Im sticking with Argentina to win it although would say Germany have to be favourites.
  20. Gribz
    Jose Mourinho must be rolling on the floor. Tonights game is tough. Almost 2 one man teams Messi v Robben. Both top world class players.
  21. Gribz
    I got Hearts right in the league so Im on level par with you at the moment.
  22. Gribz
    They did that to England and Argentina in South Africa with 4-1 and 4-0 wins then Italy found them out, Argentina and Holland are capable of doing the same but Germany have to be favourites. Ozil should have made it 8-0 before the Brazilian consolation. Germany v Holland would be some final but I still hope the Argee's win it.
  23. Gribz
    Brazil come up against their first real opponent and get shown up. Mexico and Chile were both better than them. Ze Germans were my original pick but I opted for Argentina due to it being in South America. The final will be a lot closer but the belief installed in Germany now will be incredible.
  24. Gribz
    Theres a surprise!!! Rangers, Hibs, Hearts all on the box twice in the first week of the season.
  25. Gribz
    Roger that, thanks mate. Strange about the 13 games I missed, Im sure I put a scores in a few of them.
