    I trust they are enjoying being 'Wayne Rooney's Birmingham' 😂

    O'Hare is a Burden on the Team

    ............... but as of this moment that is just a rumour. We are all presuming that he is leaving, but he hasn't signed for anyone as yet, or said that he wants/ intends to leave. Getting on his back because of 'rumours' is certainly not going to encourage him to sign a new contract for us.

    Wonder who'll be the first to post about us getting a shit draw?

    Referee

    Think a few of our players thought it was out. On the unseen video you can see them looking over their shoulders as they run to congratulate Wright, to see if the ref was gonna rule it out.

    To all the jocks on here

    Dammit, that's the most obvious omission. I go back a long way but not as far as Ian Gibson so couldn't include him. Was he really better than Carr, Speedie and McAllister?

    To all the jocks on here

    The ultimate Scottish Cov XI :) Goram Telfer Holton Gillespie McDonald Gallacher Carr Speedie Hutchison Wallace Stein Probably someone obvious I've missed out apart from McAllister, but I can't shoehorn him in ahead of some of my all time favourites in that midfield.

    Anyone know who this is

    McInally left us together with David Bowman and both had stellar careers with Dundee United which no one would have expected when they left. I do remember that Birmingham game though. The zulus were out in force and half their team seemed to be ex City players.

    Transfer targets

    Yes, that is a possibility, but equally I think he can sign a pre-contract with another club in January to leave on a free in the Summer, and just play out the season with us. Either way it will be such a pity to lose a player that's been so influential in our success these last few years, in...

    Leeds away - £45

    @pusbccfc I get you go to very game and have an understandable vested interest in not wanting to pay £45 to go to Leeds, but the hard economic reality is that CCFC don't make a penny from your supporting us there. Leeds is one of the games that is likely to provide one of our bigger crowds at...

    Transfer targets

    Yes. Plenty of examples. Chelsea received about £8m every season they loaned Lukaku out to play in Italy. Given O'Hare's pre injury value to us, I would not expect us to effectively give him away in January, unless a loan fee was part of the equation, albeit I have no idea what that fee might...

    Transfer targets

    The only way we should loan O'Hare out in January is if we receive a loan fee, and believe there is 100% no chance of him signing a new contract. If the club believe there is any chance of him signing a new contract then they'd be stupid to give up on that option.

    Leeds away - £45

    If Leeds set the bar for their own fans at £45, I would have thought they should be thanking us for offering their fans 'discount' price tickets at £37! If King was allowed to, I'm sure he'd love to charge them £45 in line with what our fans will have to pay at their place.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Whatever circumstances led to Da Silva playing centre back? That alone leads me to doubt the reliability of those figures :unsure:

    Songs We No Longer Sing

    Yes, sounds right. I think Rush scored 4! It's funny the things you remember from so long ago but I associate that song you mentioned with that particular game. It must have been a pretty uncomfortable time for women to go to games in those days as football crowds were extremely sexist, with any...

    I presume the Brekalo interest is also now dead in the water?

    Songs We No Longer Sing

    I remember it being sung at Anfield when we got done 5-0. I won't finish the lyrics but if it was sung these days people would be getting lifetime bans.

    Ex Player Watch

    They are not playing him where we did. One of his main strengths for us was pinging a 60 yard pass from deep turning defence into attack, and by playing him so far forward they are taking that option away from him. His physique is naturally on the chunky side, so I don't think that in itself...

    Referee

    Outrageous behaviour & Henry should be ashamed! Saw plenty of aggression from the touch line in the years my kids were playing, even in the girls football my daughter played in. I remember whenever my son's team played a team in Tile Hill (can't remember the teams name), the assigned ref would...

    Match Thread Referee

    With a big crowd likely to be up for it and a new manager to get behind, a strong ref is probably more important than usual for our our chances today. Their manager has been talking up the importance of their vocal support so hopefully the ref won't be easily swayed by that.

    2 of the best championship players ever

    When Bellingham played against us in the cup games I thought he was being a bit overhyped. Certainly got that one wrong!
