that's if they get bye the 3rd round where they have to face the big teams.

the alba cup doesn't involve you glory hunter spl fans

[ampersand]

Aww, aye. I'm thinking of the league cup, there's so many shite sponsor deals I lose track of which cup is which.

Bring back the days of the B&Q cup, Skol cup and the Tennents Cup.

[rexclark]

we've got ross county in the league cup, so another early exit for us

[ampersand]

Well hopefully not, they bastards kkocked us out last year. Anyway, I quite fancy an Accies - Livi next round tie.

[llcoolphil]

i want a team from someone off here

[ampersand]

I suppose you need something to give it even a slight amount of interest

I wish Wigan (or any other club) would just pull their finger out and bid already! If he goes within the next week it would give Billy over a month to plan how to use the transfer cash.

I'm also seriously tempted to head down to Wigan on the 14th August for their opening game against Blackpool instead of making the trip up to Aberdeen

[llcoolphil]

you're just jealous that rafa wants to play for us instead of your pish!

Just seen on the news there that Danny Wilson is heading off to Liverpool. Do Rangers have any players left? I can see old Coisty and maybe Hately coming back at this rate

i'm sure they can just steal hately's boy.

rangers will start well, but as soon as old davey boy gets tired into the autumn and they get a couple of injuries, then celtic should be embarrassed if they don't win.

rangers evens to win the league, and miller favourite for top scorer and when did celtic sign d murphy? thought that was just talk.

Charlie Miller is apparently training with us although I would imagine this is more to do with his friendship with Del. Wouldnt be surprised if he ended up at Ben's lot

Smith was all over the papers today saying that if they got 2 players injured they would be screwed

Think we still need 3 players on, but a keeper would be the top priority, then a right back, finally someone to cover our left side but that might just be wishful thinking on my part

Never thought I'd see the day when a Rangers manager has a wee moan about lack of depth.

McArthur's transfer to Wigan is rumoured to be pretty much a done deal, with James heading down to the DW Stadium on Thurs for a medical. Hopefully Billy can get some or all of the transfer cash to spend strengthening various areas- particularly up front. We've also taken Malone on trial which is a bit of a risk considering he's considered as a Class A kn*bhead by most Accies fans. Unfortunately, folk have said he played pretty well in our recent friendly against Stirling and heading towards a contract

[parTy animal]

Sonded like we had a few decent trialists against Stirling, hope fully Billy will use the McArthur money to get a decent striker. I'm happy with the twins and Imrie but I think we need a big striker as well, don't know if i'd go for MAC as he started great but faded away as the season went on, it may well have just been his injury or perhaps he wasn't interested..

[ampersand]

He's going with what he knows. Unfortunately what he knows is Scotland, but we're going up so I don't care.

Only the glamorous friendlies round there I see.

http://www.acciesfc.co.uk/ Bye bye James Sad to see him go but we can't really hold him back after all his hard work and commitment to the club. I'll never forget his 2 yard toe poke against Dundee which kept us on top of Div 1 and knocked the stuffing out of Dundee's title challenge.

Seemingly we're getting a Wigan player coming to Accies on loan as part of the deal too.
