Italian Lambretta Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 There's quite a bit of discussion on the Arabs message boards that he will now back down and accept a 10 team spl because of the goodwill situation. It was very odd given his stance that suddenly he kept quiet and didn't contribute today. The realisation that he has just kissed goodbye to a potential million quid has stunned him into submission.

rossthejambo Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 There's quite a bit of discussion on the Arabs message boards that he will now back down and accept a 10 team spl because of the goodwill situation. It was very odd given his stance that suddenly he kept quiet and didn't contribute today. The realisation that he has just kissed goodbye to a potential million quid has stunned him into submission. I know he'd have been looking at a reasonably decent transfer fee for Goodwillie but to just back down without much of a fuss because of it is just ridiculous if you ask me. I reckon they're going to struggle next season if I'm being honest. No money and a lot of players leaving on free transfers at the end of the season.

buba Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 He's cracking up. They were banking on the goodwillie money keeping them going for a while. Had 3 bids in from different clubs. Now couldn't give him away. They're really toiling financially just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 The TV showed him going in to the meeting today and he was asked about where he stood in relation to the 10 team SPL and his answer certainly gave the impression of having changed his stand point considerably. Disappointing if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thompson has a history of sounding big then backing down ,he did the same over the dodgy decision when Rangers were given the league cup game and other shouting matches .Its just showmanship Rumours doing the rounds(mainly from Dee fans but have heard a few arabs mention it ) are the Steven Thompson is not a big United fan in fact is only there until the time is right to sell up as not to upset his family ,and Allegedly (and i use that strongly as i dont know anything apart from rumour ) He likes a punt and not just the odd ?10 on the coupon ,According to talk around dundee he isnt very good at it . Could be mischief making from Dee fans , what is true is that Uniteds finances are not healthy and the Goodwullie thing is a major blow . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo Ell Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I was hoping this would be a thread about us signing the big man from burnley. Turns out the stories and gossip in this thread is much more interesting. How to destroy your season in one day by Dundee United. With players like Conway, Gomis and Buaben out of contract soon I think their decent spell is at an end for a while. Especially given the fact they are unlikely to be able to afford decent replacements and no club will touch Goodwillie whilst this case hamgs over his head and a year and half remaining on his contract, time he may spend the duration of which in the cells rather than henrys cellar bar...

Templeton'sUnderpants Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Newspapers are businesses they will aim to sell to as many people as possible as more readers means more advertising moolah. As prtty much 75% of Scottish football supporters are glory hunting bigots the largest audience will always be OF supporters. As such papers will always err towards belittling other clubs. It's hardly some huge conspiracy but its also not exactly an ideal situation for us as supporters of other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just paranoid as in "oh I think I heard that girl talking about me" but so paranoid you're convinced this girl is actually an assassin sent from the SOFA (writes for The Sun part-time) specifically to end you for having the temerity to speak out against the mighty Bilderbergesque organisation that is our inept national football association so you run home screaming and take refuge under your tinfoil duvet cover, only leaving its relative safety to have a peek out your blacked-out window just in case Hugh Dallas comes to get you. Tell me, Colin. Why do you deny the track record of the media when there's a whiff of a scandal? Second, where do I suggest that this girl was an assassin sent from the SFA(writes for the Sun part-time)? That is a massive error in your response to my post! Complete and utter bunkum!!! Maybe I should be getting paranoid about certain posters, not only twisting what others say, but inventing what others say, when they respond! Having re-read what I've actually written, I was worried I'd written it in Greek, I see a simple statement of facts, and a suggestion that Thomson's very sudden change of heart has something to do with other pressures in his life, rather than a football decision. It's very hard to accept the latter considering his earlier vehement opposition. In fact, your "witty" response is not only dreadfully inaccurate, but pretty pathetic. Even you, surely, are not disagreeing that, for example, most of the Scottish media are, at best dismissive of Romanov, and at worst, vindictive - there was a thread on this ref SPL visit to Lithuania! That the majority of the Red Tops hacks are sycophantic where the OF is concerned. Sure they'll report something like Lennon's recent out bursts but, how many have even said his 6 match suspension was too much? Where is the hue and cry that hit Romanov when he criticized the state of Scottish Football? Lennon has a long track record of getting far less than he deserved for his bad behaviour, on and off the park. Of course, all this is paranoia!!! Well, to humour you, I may be paranoid, but that doesn't mean the facts are in question. And, when I think about it, I would rather over-react in fighting for a fairer set up than be a quisling!!!

Many may have agreed with Vlad's sentiments but he acted like an utter bell-end. Remember the monkeys? That's not fact - it's your opinion. Paranoia can grow from opinion. First point, I do admit that Vlad should not have responded to the Sun portraying him as a chimpanzee, in that way, although I did find it quite amusing. By the way, when was the last time Rangers or Celtic owners were portrayed in such a way, and remember the chimp came first. Sir David, the black baron, who is hugely responsible, not only for Rangers' current problems, but for much of the difficulty of the SPL teams, exactly what kind of insulting caricatures have we seen of him in the Record and the Sun? Second point, what's not a fact? "Lennon has a long track record of getting far less than he deserved for his bad behaviour, on and off the park." Are you suggesting that is just my opinion? "Paranoia can grow from opinion!" So, it would seem, if you don't agree with someone else's opinion, their opinion is paranoia! Not sure, but I see paranoid tendencies in that statement!
