Agree with Pete here, Hemdani cant be slated at all this season. When he has played centre half in european games he has strolled it, but its the rough and tumble of the SPL that makes him look like he struggles in those games - but even then I cant see where the original point came from. The problem with Hemdani is he is 2 yards short of pace. Had he had that extra quicker feet then who knows what he could do. But technically he is the best player we have along with Prso. I also would like to see him given more duties to go forward. As for Boyd, ive said my piece on him. I want to see Sebo or Novo play instead of him. These guys will run all day, and if we are to play negative with 1 upfront it should be 1 of those 2. The more i think of it I wouldnt mind seeing Novo and Sebo both start against Celtic.

Preston cost me!!! They are going well in the Championship and to push there promotion bid they go to struggling Hull and lose!!!! I had Preston to beat Hull Sunderland (who are flying) to win at Barnsley - 2-0 Cardiff to beat Norwich - 1-0 Leeds to beat Luton - 1-0 The Championship league is great stuff BTW. About 7 teams all going for it, big game tomorrow Wolves v West Brom.

Not a great reply, is that just to win a point? . Did you only used the Carlos example out of spite from the other thread? And it cant be compared anyway whereas the Larsson example is pretty similar i.e. a player on way out of the club but still plays.

I just find it amusing that you would say no to a world cup winner in the team when we have players in the side who arent good enough. Im not the only one to have a laugh coz I dont agree, didnt you say my Larsson comment was a bit silly the other day?? Funny how if you dont agree with someone you think its silly!!

Leeds crowds have dropped from 40,000 in the EPL to 25,000. Its still a good crowd though. West Ham also got 27000 every home game when they dropped down a league for 2 seasons and they alwasy got big crowds in the 2nd tier when I lived down there and went to see them. - Be interesting next season tho!!

If Newcastle get to Hampden you'll get 50,000 who go week in week out to league games claiming they deserve a ticket. Those who were there the other night should be the ones considered for tickets. The most loyal fans down sown, IMO, was the Man City fans when they were relegated to Div 2. They still got 30,000 at Maine Rd.

Prso needs a long break over the summer and then used we need to use him sensibly next season. Remember, he played in the world cup last summer after a long season and came back into this year.

Ok we'll agree to disagree - thats the benefits of a democratic society However, Id also be happy with McGregor in goal next season if we are happy to go for 2nd place again. Im not just singleing him out, im picking the others like Adam, Murray, Rae and Boyd - they arent good enough to win us the title back if they all play. - But thats a different matter. I'll give McGregor a few points for some saves this season but overall he isnt in the same league as keepers we have had over the last 20 years. Maybe Goram could come in and be his keeping coach - that would do no harm!! Yes, Ehiogu and Klos had a blip the other night but its there first time playing together so its understandable. But the Larsson comparison isnt a bad one - Man U still knew a few weeks ago he was leaving when they had 5 strikers fit but still played him quite simply coz he is 1 of their best 2 strikers available. Its more of an example than a comparison that you play the best on offer to you. I accept Der Goalie is going in 2 months time but then again so is Novo yet people are still saying he should start on sunday!!!

On paper Liverpool will win which is why ive went with them, but i always get a gut feeling also which i never tend to go on, and it was that PSV would get past Arsenal - they did! Ive got the same feeling that they could actually go on and win the CL

Lol, ths thread is quite amusing now!! I no its a no-go BUT IF Carlos came, you guys would say no?? Ha ha

About 8 years later!!! I can still see a few things being balls up. Its going to be wierd to see games played there again, its ard to believe the last FA cup final was 7 years ago in 2000 between Chelsea avd Villa Cardiff has been a great replacement.

Beg to differ there Craig, yes he is leaving - accepted, but while he is being paid 30k a week he should be earning it. He's the best keeper at the club - so he should play. Did Sir Alex drop Larsson the other night even though he knew he was leaving next week?? You may have a point that it isnt in best interest of the club If McGregor is long term No1, but i seriously hope he isnt as I dont think he is good enough. He is a perfect sub keeper.

Im baffled by the critisisim of Klos. The guy was awesome for us for how many years??? He was a world class keeper and on par with Khan and Lehmann. So he has a fault or 2 but he is still the better keeper by a country mile and wins us points with those shot stopping saves.

I see what the guy is saying and he makes some good points, but it doesnt take away the fact our team were rank and some of our players are rank

You might want to wait a week bud, coz the rest of us will be watching the OF game this sunday

But Klos should still be in goal. He doesnt deserve to be dropped from the UEFA cup yet

Obviously I was saying he'd be good for us as sarcasim, but you'd seriously say no thanks if we had the chance of Bobby Carlos for 2 years??? Come off it!!!

Yeah il go with that Gav

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/6433711.stm Free agent in the summer, he'd be a fine LB for us

I think it was Cammy who said WS has his work cut out to get us back on track. By god, was that a fair comment!! Maybe some who believe that the likes of Adam and Boyd should be playing need to convince this Bear. Adam can turn it on on occassion but when he is poor he is very poor. WS hasnt helped his cause be going into a big European match (one that we needed to win to give us an advantage) by playing a 4-5-1 formation with the 1 upfront being useless. Yes Boyd gets goals but they are easy goals that many fans sitting in the stadium would be able to score. After that he offers absolutely ZERO to the team. Its like the situation in US football when a kicker comes on to get the field goal - thats all he does. But im afraid in the real game of football that goal scorer HAS to over something else than tap in's that anyone could get. Cammy also stated that there are only 3 players who are good enough to be playing at the club - Ferguson, Hemdani and Thompson. I would go along with the first 2 but I wasnt over impressed with us signing Thompson and he hasnt shown me much in the few games ive seen him that he is good enough - maybe he will come good - yet to be seen. Id also add Klos, Weir, Ehiogu and Prso to that list but they are all at the end of there careers. For almost 2 years and 3 different managers ive been saying Klos must play, as keepers like this dont come around too often and they can win you points. He has been wasted on the sidelines while bombscares like Wattereus, Letizi and McGregor have played Now we have an Old firm match coming up (see OF preview) and then we need to take off for Spain in a match we HAVE to score in. Its not impossible but as usual we have made it very difficult for ourselves. So not only do we have out work cut out to change the current squad, we have our work cut out to qualify for the next round of the UEFA cup. I think all bears would accept going out of the UEFA cup if we gave 110% and tried our pants off with the manager making positive decisions - but if we go out in a poor manner like this then he will come in for critisism.

Im tempted to do the same (not swap places with your wife ) Sounds a great line up! I missed out last year by a few weeks.

Not a bad rant mate (bar your french ), and i agree with it though! To play a slow useless donkey upfront on his own in a european match at Ibrox is a huge error from Smith. I thought McCoist might have tried and persuaded him to go against that. I dont give a monkeys that some people dont like the term "Rangers Class" being used - but some of that players are not Rangers Class. I.e. they are not fit to lace some former players laces - those who have brought the club trophies and played teams of the park. Gav is right, these guys pick up a nice few thousand pounds tonight whereas the late Davie Cooper used to take the Tube to training to play for Rangers - Thats Rangers Class. Together with the dumplings on show tonight and the new signings coming in who havent impressed me, we could be in for a long few seasons of turmoil.

Im pleased to hear Klos played well. He has been a waste sitting on the bench all this time when he could have won us some points by playing. He must play for the rest of the season.

Not the scoreline i was looking for this morning. It seems WS got his tactics pure wrong. I said in my team prediction I thought he would go with Adam and Boyd which is a mistake. FFS Boyd is useless upfront on his own, what do managers see in him that 50,000 dont!!! Only good thing to read today is I hear Klos had a few good saves - IMO he MUST play for rest of the season. Its a complete no brainer - play your best keeper!!! I think we may have a chance over there without Ferguson, the hole team seems to play through him so some others may stand up and be counted over there. Id play a midfield 5 over there with Hemdani, Thompson, Sionko, Burke, Prso in midfield and Novo or Sebo upfront: Novo can always nick a goal away from home. But Boyd MUST be dropped. We wont get a sniff infront of goal on sunday or next week with him playing. 2nd leg team: ______________Klos_________________ Hutton____Weir_____Ehiogu_____Murray _______Hemdani____Thompson_______ __Sionko______Burke________Prso_____ _____________Novo_________________

What sort of comment is that???
