rofl at Lennon picking on wee Aidenho at the end of yesterday's game. Strachan says it's because Lennon is "scared to lose" - I think it's because Lennon is "a dick"

I'm not convinced we need Pressley. I don't have any great issues with him, he's about as good/bad/liable-to-throw-a-game-away/likely-to-score as Caldwell or Balde, so in that case, I just don't think we need him. Darren O'Dea looks alright from what I've seen, and Kennedy can't be that far away now.

Hearts and Hartley saying nothing following his hearing. I think it's safe to assume he hasn't been sacked, though I wouldn't be surprised if they were taking bids in January.

I don't imagine too many St Mirren fans will be at the Inverness game on New Year's Day. There was a reason New Year's Day was traditionally a derby day - everyone was too fucked to get any further than the nearest football ground. Now the fixture "computer" throws up a fucking 3-4 hour journey.

I still think Pressley is the best Scottish defender and should have a few seasons left in him at the top level. He's only 33.Still, it's a case of wait and see.
Any other possible signings for the old firm on the way? Not seen a paper for ages and haven't been reading the web about it either.
― pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link
Bwahahahaahahah.
John Kennedy, Andy Webster, Steven McManus, Russell Anderson, Gary Caldwell, there's five for starters. Zander Diamond. Mark Wilson if we're moving outwith centre halves. I'd probably rate David Weir above him too, but that doesn't mean I'd want to sign him either.
He is markedly slower at 33 than he has been in previous seasons, and I don't see him getting any better as he gets older. If we're going for an experienced Scottish head, I'd rather, say, Christian Dailly, who is the same age, faster, more experienced, more versatile and NOT CUP-TIED. But I don't see the point of this signing at all.

At least no-one seems to be getting their knickers in a twist about the fact that Pressley used to play for Rangers.
― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link
On reflection... Pressley = fucking dud. Seriously. Wins less headers than he used to, can't run, continually pulls jerseys in the box.
I'd rather have Bobo hopping.
(I'm out with my dad for a drink tomorrow so I won't be meeting you for teh game btw)

Anthony Stokes has scored a fair few goals (one against us that took Falkirk to penalties against us in the CIS Cup), and got Neil Lennon sent off last week. Don't suppose he's endearing himself to the Celtic support much. He looks a pretty good player. Then again, so did Derek Riordan, so again, I'm not convinced Celtic need him or that he'll be great if he gets there.
xpost!

Was ok when Tony Roper was still involved. Wasn't Alistair McGowan involved for a bit after that, so at least there was someone who could do impressions rather than having to start every sketch with 'hi, I'm Jim Spence' or similar exposition? They need to get that Paul Reid guy involved, also some people who can write jokes.
