"For starters, how does Scottish football feel about the use of tax avoidance schemes in general and are or have other schemes been exploited by players or executives at other Scottish clubs?" Why not just say, what about all the Sellik staff's film producing tax schemes .........

I'm assuming if looking at boys in a DM role then the Eustace deal is completely dead? Last I read I'm sure he came back from his "family issues" and limped out of training.

Mervan Celik was frighteningly bad.

We clearly need experience in our side. Eustace to Nolan, it seems the manager knows what he's doing and I trust him in whatever happens.

Wonder who he signed the castle over too .......

The fact is he will keep playing these boys all season as long as they are performing because it's the only way we will CONTINUE to draft the best youngsters from the EPL back for season long loans. That's fine by me. Certainly until we are in a position where our youngsters are equally as good and we don't need to go to the loan market.

edit double post

I'd blame Ally for most of the footballing shambles correct. Sounds like any sign of trouble you'd look to send them out on loan. I'd prefer trying to sort these issues in house first if attitude was the sole reason he was sent out on loan. Having said that it's paid off for us now, although I don't believe for a second Ally knew what he was doing in this instance. Infact in most instances.

He's clearly always been good enough, does that not form 'part' of a manager's job though, extracting that talent from someone by any means necessary? For me I'd blame both. All Barry could have been waiting on was a vote of confidence, it could have been something so simple. As I know they never fell out.

Templeton only started back running end of last week or start of this week I believe. Maybe the cold weather will harden up his chocolate ankles. For me though, the sooner he's off the wage bill the better.

I saw him winning the ball back about 30 yards from our own goal in the final 15-20 minutes chasing the game on Saturday. It was also near the centre of the park I'm sure. For me he's improving all the time but his overall consistency is of a high level for a creative player. An absolute fantastic start to the season for Barrie. And what pains me most, and there may have been issues with attitude or Ally didn't like him, I don't know. But what gets me is just how badly we lacked creativity last season and Barrie was at Raith/Morton wherever. Sad. Infact an error from our management team more like.

Has he apologised for it yet? That would be a good start if he wants to build some bridges.

Jelavic. Yes Please.

Why GS? The lure of the Champions L ........ oh wait. Yeh you're right. PS: How's that working out for you Scott.

Was about to say this. Agreed.

Even David McCarthy printed an article agreeing it wasn't a foul. Clearly another one who hasn't watched the replays all over twitter etc. It was a stone wall foul FFS.

Just got an email from them, yes they picked that design but seemingly it was another boy who won it.

A stamped envelope to return that free salary he took for too long.

Agreed Craig, her own personal stories double the pleasure of the tour.

Hopefully so then mate. Can anyone confirm?

Cracking picture Frankie. I'm assuming Mary Gallacher is Tiny who done our tours and was one of the staff paid off after around 47 years service? Surely she should have been one of the first re-employed? Or has she?

Boom. Nail. Head. Along with the OP.

[sOUNDCLOUD][/sOUNDCLOUD] Hahaha I laughed. His powder puff shots were a thing of beauty ............. it was as if he was shooting in treacle.

I'm not a fan of Murdoch, just an ok player but for me doesn't influence a game enough.

Overpriced yes but the pies at Ibrox are brilliant.
