BBC Gossip:
Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Rocastle could be given the chance to kick start his career at Kilmarnock. (Daily Express/Daily Star)
Former Chelsea? Did he ever see first team action?
The message board is getting abit dull so I thought i'd share a thought of mine:
The idea of a poll of people can decide what five thousand latics fans see and hear on a saturday afternoon is beyond me.
A fluo yellow away kit, mouldy old dough & guns of navarone... Tragic!
Ive had enough of official polls, they are clearly getting us nowhere!
The only poll i'd sanction would be whether Chris Taylor plays on the left or right, anyone with two brain cells knows which is best.
there was a point towards the end of the season where we couldn't even name five substitutes for gods sake! and the ones which were on the bench were the under 17's.
I think lee, whitaker, fleming and o'grady are all serious 1st team contenders, but nobody should be guaranteed a place as that creates complacency.
i think these are positive signings, Stephens has not been talked about much but in a couple of years time he could be one of the best midfielders in our division.
The problem I have with Mouldy Old Dough is that people coming to the club for the first time will not get it one bit. All it does is appease the die hard supporters and isn't a song which will inspire the players (who won't have a clue what connection the UK number 4 hit from the 1970's has to do with latics).
The classical tune they played during the Dowie era (it begins with a C, cant remember the exact name) was epic and had a wide ranging appeal.
Please, anything but Mouldy Old Dough... I see it as a backward step, we could definately find something a little bit original that will get the players and supporters riled up for the game.
the first vid, around 3 minutes along when eyresy scores and the players come and congratulate him...
How many of those players would even make our bench this season?
Bosh, Dudley, Garnett, Carlo, (hotte?)

looks like a left footer, could be exactly what we need.
as for taylor, over my dead body! he'll be the difference between playoffs and automatic if we can get him firing on all cylinders and running at the opposition.
I wouldnt be suprised if they have a poor set of results we see their attendance plummet... people probably said 'we'll see what its like but if we dont like it we've only lost £100'
what do you think?
Taylor has alot of flair and will take players on, 500k would be a slap in the face IMO.
Hes a quality player, a sound lad and Latics through and through, hes not going anywhere.
