Bh wrote to his boss and said he was unhappy at John investing in rangers. The full letter is on here.

Thanks GS I've read it now.

The rumours go that he "hounded" JB and his employer. I'd like to ask BH/Alan if anything else happened from his end after the letter in respect of JB?

BH/Alan,

Can you just clarify the John Bennett rumours once and for all?

A bowling club committee or a supporters club committee .......... full of sweetie wives, backstabbers, bitches and moaners (evidence on here already).

Then you have some decent folk wanting to actually do some good.

Facts of life I'm afraid.

A bear asked him on twitter "how many arrests" his reply was ........

"no idea. Asked delegate if any problems and he said no"

Hmmm that'll be that then Chris eh, nothing to see here. I'm guessing if it was us he's still be chasing around for more material.

Rousseau .... one question?

Are you the Magic hat?

Mostly as a sub. We're taking a player who can't get a game for hertz.

Sorry that's just not good enough.

On paper maybe not good enough, I'm prepared to see what the manager gets out of him though.

You could argue he took McKay from Morton/Raith, look how he's developed in such a short space of time.

to get gametime

He's played 20 times this season for Hearts apparently.

Question is, why would Hearts allow him to leave on loan if he's been playing? Contracted to 2017.

Not sure whether that path for youngsters is fully in place yet. The number of top team chances for teenagers in our youth academy has actually been very limited, probably in large due to the playing of Oduwa, Ball and Zelalem. Mackay is the only one given real game time, at 20-21 years old and had already had plenty of game time while 17-18.

I mean the way they are invited to train with the first team etc, and I genuinely believe if they are good enough they will get a chance. It's just difficult for Hardie to replace Waggy or Thomson to replace Halliday. Although it's still good to see these lads get some minutes and they are obviously training with the first team every day.

I would like to see them get more game time when we are up a few goals in games. Or playing lesser teams at home, but the issue with that is do we want to disrupt a winning team on a good run. Two sides to the coin etc.

I'm happy to trust the management team for once when it comes to development. Been a long time since I've said that.

The way MW has revamped the club and the pathway he's starting to create for youngsters to reach the first team, then one can only assume the lad or any other youth player doing well would be absolutely mental to jump ship.

Although we know money talks ......

If we were back in the SPL would it have influenced his decision?

Eh ....... we never agreed a fee so he never had a decision to make in the first place Gary.

Best getting this out on social media mate and let it do the rounds.

I understand the "loyalty" part but in terms of it being a shame to see him go, I can't agree. Seems like a decent enough lad but he doesn't have the necessary quality for us IMHO. A bright start but really hasn't developed as we would have hoped he would.

Agreed.

I will however always be thankful to him for that winner at Hampden against QP.

Also a moment for his dad to never forget.

Scottish fitba is quickly eating itself to death thanks to the clowns at the helm.

No need for that though!,the club should take her to task,and also police Scotland for her attack on them!

"should" Ian, correct. But most likely won't.

These journo's won't be afraid of the club if we sit and do nothing, but if the fans start taking it upon themselves to fight back (the RFFF cash being an example) then I'm sure they would start thinking twice about writing such drivel.

I'm of the opinion the club WILL start acting on such scenarios however I also believe right now that we just have so much still to complete and this is nowhere near the top of our to do list. So I see it more as the fans helping the club out just now till we clear our plate so to speak.

I'd be happy to put the forgotten RFFF cash to good use and take this bitch to court.

Whilst obviously room for improvement I think we have seen a vast improvement from our media team this season.

The People

Maybe the fact that we haven't gone back with a 3rd bid to St J on M O'H is because we've decided he's not worth what they want for him (or the terms of the deal), and maybe we've got our sights on someone else???

If true on the all up front versus instalments then I'd also hold firm as it appears the board are doing.

I remember the Dragan's début - he looked really useful. How wrong I was...

I may be mistaken but I'm positive his very first touch was near the halfway line with his back to goal and someone up his backside, he took a pass and dropped a shoulder and spinned him. Was thinking oaft what have we got ourselves here ...............

Sadly we know the rest.

One thing we will never see is .............

"the Celtic charge was unsurprising"

If Waggy took a bad injury it would leave us struggling badly. I think we could cover most other positions, our full backs are probably another concern though.

Does that mean we could get Giroud and Ozil on loan ?.

Are you having a laugh YB?

Giroud is rotten

Yesterday it was Tom Thorogood, today it is Scott McDermott. Forgive my ignorance or lack of knowledge, but who are these people? It would be great if those throwing these names in would give a little indication who they are and what sort of relevance/knowledge/information value they might possess. Cheers!

Scott McDermott went to school with me, he was the year above. Castlemilk High. Always had aspirations of becoming a sports journalist, done his work experience there etc and fulfilled his ambition, has done quite well since starting with the record/mail.

He's also a Bluenose.

I've said it many times but what an absolute outstanding job the lads at the Founders trail are doing, and have produced for us to date. Amazing.
