He even used to warm up on his own if you remember. With his own '5 a side ball'. His crowning glory was the 'disallowed' goal @ Manure in that theatre of hell!!! Not many worse than Currie here!!

What £500 in fake notes a week, a jar of pickled eggs and a free scrap in the supporters bar every week if he fancies it!

Are you sure it is only owls you fear? That was a pretty fierce post!!

After last few days, there's prob not many of US who rate them two!! And btw...voted for Wellens. More in his locker.

I've posted earlier regarding players' decisions (Porter) and that it is their right to move on and improve theirself, how i wish i'd not posted that now!!! But i just feel with wellens so piddled off because of where he has gone. Just goes to show, yet another money grabbing, greedy basket, and i suppose we are now feeling just the same as Blackpool did, when he signed for us. No consolation at the moment though.

I used to play football with Chris at Bergmans and Chadderton. He was also a good footballer. Andy though was one of the last in 'proper' footballers, he came across as a chap who lived and breathed football, yet did it in his own way. Leg end Andy!!

Agreed entirely! Lomax has potential, but imo certainly no debate as to who starts 1st game!

has the most quality in his feet, than any other member of our current squad and yes i agree that he's not the type to be flying past full backs or flying to track back, but his delivery and quality of ball in the box last year, was imo very underestimated by a lot of 'tics fans - sure he's got a part to play again this year in what is shaping up to be a pretty strong squad.

Quality quick research DS!

Defensive midfielder?

I would just like to add my (considerable..ish!) weight to the northeners plight. With an ass like gregans and ability to match i shall be putting myself forward for a centre halfs position for the northern boys (sponsored by gravy!!) northern boys love gravy!!!

Apart from the obvious reason of asking?!?! Just to inform folks that (I'm sure my info is correct) but the clayton arms is closed from this weekend, so obviously on site drinking after the game wouldn't be an option. But if anybody fancies a cheeky couple after, locally, could bear in mind other options.

Should b able to make this sunday guys(and gals)..(once mi calfs and ankles have calmed down from 2 6-a-side and 20/20 cricket games this week!!! Will def be looking forward to it!! Jus out of curiosity, priorities and all that, where is the post match beer drinking held?

I didn't choose re-sign Porter because there is no way i would want to see that greedy bar steward agent have his demands met!!! I would love Porter to re-sign, but at the price that Porter and the club could benefit not the 'pimp'.

looking at the lack of options at the moment up front, bear in mind it could well take Hughes a month or two to get match fit, i think he would def give us a good option.

I can understand their frustration, after bankrolling the club as they have done and seemingly receiving very little of it back yet and i guess as owners of the club i suppose they are more than entitled to moan if and when they wish. However Bigfin, you are SSOooooo right when you question why would Porter want to got Dundee. Possible Answer; AGENT!! Unlike Plymouth, Stoke and anyone else rumoured to be interested, Dundee wouldn't have to pay a transfer fee and as an agent, where do you think he will be suggesting an improved "signing on "fee goes??? I am sure Porter and the agent would probably receive more in their "sky rockets" with no transfer fee involved!!

And me TN It was like an exocet missile, still suggestions that it is still travelling!

I think the whole Bosman thing still shows a loophole in the fact that you are entitled to compensation from a club in this country, yet another country can "reap" the benefits of our coaching, league structure etc etc.... Whether we(English clubs) buy players on a Bosman from abroad and pay nowt, or vice versa, i find the system unfair!! Going back to my initial it is always those who need the finances more i;e lower league clubs who seem to be penalised by this!!

Scandalous. Is there any ruling, law or agreement that ever gives lowers league clubs any kind of benefit!!! Lower league clubs always seem to miss the boat financially on so many deals, transfers etc, i've no doubt that if it was some premier greed side then they would have the loophole closed off. The football Administraion need to get their act together and stop clubs like ourselves continually losing finances due to "loopholes!!!!!"

Judas Priest?

Status Quo?

And who would that be?

very well analysed DS

I did fancy centre half miself Chadd........as you know (if you can remember?) i was pretty handy, but those bids worry me and the future of my season ticket, poker nights etc
