    I believe he did. He's at about the right level though isn't he for his abilities. Bottom of championship/ top of league 1

    Saw him playing for Swindon in league 2 was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch as I suspect JOB would be playing at that level.

    Really don't know an awful lot about the Hearts situation. Mad Vlad bailed out leaving a mountain of debt. I believe even the ground could be at risk. Admin men are in trying to sort something out, that is why Hearts playing pool consists a right lot of youngsters. Having said that they did put up a good wee fight yesterday but with having been given a 15 point deduction it was always gonna be hard for them but they are still fighting away.
    I hope they can survive as the Premier league needs a strong Hearts.

    You would have thought with the wealth kicking round Edinburgh someone with a soft spot would try to sort them out. Like you say Scottish Prem needs a strong hearts team to challenge the Glasgow hegemony.

    I don't think Partick Thistle have too much of a hold on the SPL to be fair mate.

    Hey don't knock Partick isn't it only 3 defeats all season and only poor finishing stopping them being in the top half.

    One ground I've never been to is Plastic Whistle's. I wonder if they've got a song for Gabriel Rojo de la Vega Piccolo?

    Well said mate.
    I really admire all those who go along to Firhill and support a real football side ignoring the temptation of becoming a glory hunter.

    Real football fans who should be applauded.

    I went to Barnsley v Derby in the reinvented version in the early 90s I've still got the programme somewhere. Was too young for the original.

    Did Barnsley ever play in the original set up in the early 70's

    I remember it happening but I was only around 13 at the time. Used tae get the Goal and Shoot and remember being facinated by all the different Italian team names.

    Oh they were the days.

    No we were in the old fourth division in the original days we just played two seasons in the early 90s getting knocked out both times in the qualifying. Obnce was definitely Derby I think the other was by Notts County
