We know you read messageboards.

Fantastic form recently lads but we've not yet achieved anything have we?

Maybe best to look for the better terms and renegotiate the contracts you were both delighted to recently sign when we have actually achieved something?

Anyway the point of this message.

Think Ian Murray to Rangers.

Think Derek Riordan to Celtic.

Both can't get a game and have placed their careers going down the tube..

Think Chris Burke at Rangers.

Think Shaun Maloney at Celtic.

Both like yourselves big talents but both desparate to escape from the Old Firm.

Have a word with your agent.

Being linked to a move to Rangers is an insult to your talents.

couldnt have put it better myself mate

Hear, hear. Win something, then you might be in a bargaining position. Until then, just get on with fulfilling your side of the contract you were happy to sign up to lkess than a year ago. Despite what that feckwit tells you, you're NOT bigger than Hibs.

Gareth · 17-11-06, 13:21

The one bit I'd disagree with is that they would repeat the Murray et al trend. Both would walk into either one of the infirm in my opinion.
However, I think both should be aware that not only are they too good for either in a moral sense (the bigotted and bullying sh*t that inevitably accompanies them) they are also too good for them in a football sense and if they're sensible, i.e. ignore their f*ckwit of an agent, they are destined for much much better than the infirm. They are quite capable of helping us to end our trophy drought and then be sold for very large fees, benefitting the club who brought them through, and ending with them strutting their stuff at the very top end of the football world. They have it within them to be both grateful and helpful to their current club and personally hugely ambitious.

Agree with all that apart from Ian Murray. He's out injured. I think he would have got his fare share of games this season if he wasn't.

Who the hell would want to play for Rangers at the minute, they're up a creek and I see few paddles available?

I've no doubt Broon and Thommo will, eventually move on to bigger things, but they should set their sights a bit bloody higher than Ibrox or Darkheid to be honest.

exactly.

As for Derek Riordan, well IMO he's getting his comeuppance, I mean he was always a wee naff, that man has absolutely nothing resembling a brain in his head, I mean who can forget the Rudi Skacel song? I actually couldn't believe that a player would sing that sort of racist bile about one of his fellow professionals, absolutely disgusting. Before you tell me how absolutely hilarious that was, how would we feel if we saw a video of say Paul Hartley singing racist songs about one of our players? I know I certainly wouldn't laugh. Basically sod him, let him rot on the bench at Smelltic. I have faith that Broonie and Thommo are a wee bit more intelligent, and won't be so idiotic.

To play what position? Killen is scoring more goals, Sproule, Brown and Deano are pretty level with him in terms of goals, and Boozy, Killen, Brown and Murphy are all better at making the goals. Wouldn't start for me.

If Derek Riordan had been in our team this season we'd be right on the tail of Celtic as we would have many more points on the board.

Fact (IMO).

Our failings this season have been at the back, so unless you plan to put DR in goals

then i fail to see your reasoning.
Shiels has scored as many goals as DR did at this point last season.
As have Sproule and Brown - and i would bet they have set up a damn sight more.
Killen is already in double figures, and the way he holds up the ball gives as the extra option which Riordan didn't.

Riordan was a good player for us - however, he was a passenger when we weren't playing well, and I think our win at home to ICT wouldn't have been achieved if Riordan was put in ahead of Sproule, Killen or Boozy, showing how much we benefit from a hard working midfield rather than having players who might score regardless of thier workrate. It is no coincidence that we have been more defensively sound without Riordan.

Hibs without Riordan are a better all round side IMO.

Derek Riordan has got and always did have completely the wrong attitude to his football, a lack of respect for team mates and fellow pros and a disregard for the supporters of the club that he grew up with and made him. He was a bottler and you can just imagine him walking around the Celtic training pitch in a sulk.

Brown and Thomson are proper footballers and the Premiership is the place for them. Why would either one of them choose either side of the Old Firm over Middlesbrough or Charlton say? It's the whole attitude that's wrong with Scottish Football - 'the old firm is the place to be' - WRONG. Rangers are rubbish to put it bluntly and Celtic have won the league already and surely there is no challenge in that for a proper pro.

Would just like to say though...even with all this talk of them leaving I thought Thomson and Brown were teriffic yesterday and showed full commitment to the cause...something that Riordan and Caldwell never did once there was talk of them leaving - that shows in itself why they are better than the Old Firm.
