Thank you! It's one of the daft little mistakes that drive me mad.

[neophox]

Any transfer news? I hope we try to get some deals come january 1st. And not just wait. Negotiations should start this month and getting things ready for january.

Lambert seem to be impressed with Lenihan and saying hes close to the first team

Tenner says he learned that from watching Game of Thrones.

Hopefully this mean that Lenihan will be on the bench when he is injury free instead of Williamson. We should involve our talented players more.

thats good news, give the young guys a chance. If its 1 youngster a season, great, but you have to give them a chance.

[Blueandwhitemike]

That's great news, I've been hoping we'd get a bit more of a look at him this season, especially happy to hear he will get a chance in the position he impressed in at Burton

[rigger]

Thank you! It's one of the daft little mistakes that drive me mad.

mine is, happy Christmas, instead of, merry Christmas.

[gumboots]

With you on that - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[BlueMonday]

So, should it be Less Happy Christmas' or Fewer Merry New Years?

[Mike E]

Basic Yr5 stuff

If it can be counted (coins or watts) use 'fewer'. If it can't or it's more 'concept' (money or electricity), use 'less'.

Although it is indeed a huge reason I stood firm behind the one true King of Westeros.

[Claytons Left Boot]

. I seem to recall a Rangers fan telling me that they had more supporters clubs worldwide than any other club in the world (don't know how true that is)..

Wiki states that both clubs have in excess of 160 supporters clubs worldwide.

However, whilst Rangers have an estimated 5 million fans worldwide, Celtic's is estimated at 9 million.

I went up to Celtic Park in 1990 for an Old Firm game and as GAV says, it's a superb experience. We queued up to get in a pub (five out, five in) and along the street there was a line of (Celtic) coaches as far as the eye could see. Just about every town and City in England was represented. I have been up to Celtic around 50 times, mainly in the 80s, only missing a Rovers game once when I managed to get tickets for the Old Firm game above, courtesy of Darwen Celtic Supporters Club.

No, just more heavy drinking

Celtic Park has changed a bit since then. Their supporters haven't though. They still carry a massive chip on their shoulders for some reason. Despite living in Glasgow I avoid all things Old Firm wherever possible. It is poisonous and bigoted bile, on both sides of the divide. It has cost the lives of far too many people, sadly.

Good win tonight though, not too bothered about the performance, lovely three points. Lets have three more on Monday lads!!

[Baz]

Vwhen I went to Celtic, there was no Scottish there, they where to a man Irish. Just a mix of Northern and Republic.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

I've been to Ibrox a few times but not for an Old Firm game. I was also working in Central Manchester when around 150,000 Rangers fans invaded for the UEFA cup final. There were lots of Northern Irish accents in the city that day and you will see plenty of coaches outside Ibrox from Belfast, Carrickfergus, Bangor and the like.

Celtic do have a larger world wide support as they benefit from the global Irish diaspora. They do try to distance themselves from the Republican element of their support but they don't want alienate their 'Oirish' fan base. It's a dichotomy they struggle to extricate themselves from.

Anyway, who is ex Celt Lambert going to sign? Troublesome Stokes out of favour at Celtic? Lee Wallace at Rangers might resolve our left back issues.

[SoldierMo]

Ok back to the transfer thread

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Ok back to the transfer thread

Fair enough, hence my speculation as to who, if anyone, we might target North of the border. I do also acknowledge that our full back issues are on the right as opposed to left.

David goodwillie?

[deryck guyler's spoon]

David goodwillie?

I don't think he's getting a game at Aberdeen at the moment. He's being kept out by Niall McGinn (released by Celtic) and ex Yeovil, Chesterfield, Bury and Swindon forward Adam Rooney.

Yes, I know you're joking.

A better bet could be speedy striker Michael O'Halleron at St Johnstone or maybe midfielder John McGinn at Hibs. It's been a while since a signing from Scotland came off though. McArthur and McCarthy probably the last?

Rovers have a tradition of having good Scots players in their ranks. With already having Conway and Hanley though, maybe were full up in that department for now.

I think we need an outstanding attacking midfielder and a physical, preferably imposing and quick forward most pressingly.

[Ricky]

Wonder if we could look at a loan deal for Rickie Lambert. He's not getting much game time at West Brom but I would imagine they would still be reluctant to let him go out on loan.

That would be an inspired signing for the Championship. *Doffs cap to Ricky*

Lambert would be the 'Hughes' of this side

On another note I did hear that Lambert hasn't given any indication to the board yet of who he would like. Though obviously you are never entirely sure whether people are being entirely truthful!

[G Somerset Rover]

Hopefully on his list are an experienced RB, a leader for the middle of the park and some pace up top. Get that right and we may have a chance for the play-offs.
