Which one was the Canton? Behind the goal (opposite end to the away fans/family stand)?

Yep. The one where you could see them standing all game. Big clue there
billed by the club as the singing stand when what they really mean is the standing stand.

I don't even know why I asked that, I knew exactly where you meant.

Apparently the stewards are gonna make sure no1 stands in the City end, Celtic fans stood and they were aloud because the stadium manager 'didn't want to put the stewards in danger'.
The club should arrange for a section of the ground to be standing, even if the seats stay, its what people have done for years and years, if it was done safely no1 would have any problems.

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Great idea , but unfortunately illegal. Think about it, away fans are always allowed more freedom to stand than home fans, its how Cardiff fans get to stand at all the big stadiums we have been to in the last ten years when the locals have to sit!
He looked a little on the large side last night.
He's down the pecking order. He isn't as good a striker as Chopra. His goals came mostly from the penalty spot. What he gave us was pace. Pace is easily replaced.
4 or 5 mil for him - I'd snap your bollocks off.
Pays for a new midfield that type of money.
Pays for Routledge, Zeng Zhi (though he's a free!) and Sol Bamba.
Lets not forget the loan deals too.
Lets be honest if we had got promoted Ross would have been a bench-warmer.

You know what i think has happened....
- Dave Jones sold him a dream to get him to re-sign.
- We're going to get these three ace players and really go for it yadada.
- Ross the fool buys the story and signs.
- Then they release a bogus article where DJ looks like he is criticising Pete for not releasing funds.
- Then they release the kiss and make up denial article.
- All staged to make Ross think he ain't been duped, but he's no fool or his agent isn't.
- So fucked off with being lied to about the club's real ambitions he wants to leave for a club with real ambitions. One that will spend the money it needs to succeed rather than letting signings slip through their fingers by hanging on until late in the transfer season.
Bye bye Parry,

Thats a bit harsh. He was a good servant to the club. His first season we were all patting ourselves on the back for getting someone so good for a pittance.
Unfortuantely his divorce completely fooked with his head and he has been a shadow of his former self. Hopefully the fresh start will do him good. I wish him luck.

Aye, it was probably a bit harsh, but he really played last season like a man with the word turmoil tattooed on his forehead.

Guess thats the sugar to make the Ross pill taste palatable!! Its Karma ro something.

McCormack on why he wants to leave the club. Looks like he does not like competition, given Chops fitness record i would not be too worried. Personally i would play him up front before Chopra.
From the 606 board
didn't know he has the same agent as Joey Barton

Bit of a dilemna over the weekend. At a fundraising bbq in Manchester I bought £20 of raffle tickets, and end up winning a cuddly bear, named him Ralph and presented to 27 Jnr. And also, to the dleight of my Manure supporting stepfather, a Man Utd shirt, oh how he laughed!! What would you have done dear urbanites and did I make the correct decision? I chose to accept it with the proviso that it was signed by Lord Ryan of Giggs with best wishes to Mater 27.

Seems mighty odd seeing as he was our top scorer last season and Chopra was pretty much disappointing from the start.
Does he think he's going to find a club that has no other players in his position?

Its a difficult one as manager.
McCormack gives us team options to change the side around during a game. The fact he can play on the wing makes picking the bench easier. But he is complaining that he doesn't want to play on the wing.
Chopra we took a gamble on mid season cause we were desperate. By doing that we committed ourselves to buying someone at a club record breaking price. Do you leave the player you spent the most money on ever sitting on the bench? If you do what does that do for his confidence. Would you end up pouring all that money down the drain. Chopra is pychologically fragile after his gambling problem and his split from his wife etc. He needs to be carefully managed. A lot more than McCormack whose personal life is fine in comparison and he certainly seems to have no lack of confidence in his abilities by the way he is acting.
Plus as a manager this is actually the situation you want. Squad strength so that you have to have good players on the bench who are gagging to get on. You have quality replacements when you need it instead of rubbish.
If this was a straight footballing decision though Editor has a point. Based on last season's performance McCormack should be the number 1 pick.

I'd take Nugent and cash, say £3million.

I wouldn't take Nugget if I were you, he's not all that
He'd be alright in the fizzy pop league.
Ang you forget we have Dave Jones who seems to be able to get the best out of players who've hit a rough patch. I confidently predict we'll be selling Nugent at the end of the season for £10million!

Hey, Dean Yager!
We can't afford to let him go! We've got three strikers - Kanu, Nugent and Utaka. Now Kanu's 738383 years old, Nugent's got a great work ethic on him and Utaka's more up and down than a stannah stairlift. We've probably got Kalinic coming in, and McCormack would be nailed on as a starter for us
Sorry, but does anyone else have a feeling of impending doom?
We have a disgruntled wantaway striker.
The Welsh captain, who the fuck knows what he is doing or wanting.
A paceless centre half (Hudson) with plenty to prove and who will probably be made club captain.
McNaughton injured for 6 weeks.
McPhail and Rae in a midfield. That scares the shit out of me.
And Paul Parry doesn't fancy Preston!!
Don't get me started on Whitts either. (or Commingues)
It all stinks.
The whole fucking place is imploding.
Yours in desperation.

David Dein in Cardiff,
