To be fair he is going to be with the GB team for the next week, I'm sure he will be having chats with the people he thinks will fit in well in his new team and HUGE budget... Good news for GB players as it appears the asking price has just shot up!!!

Well I think that the steelers are hoping for Dowd, Peacock, D. Phillips and O'Connor
I guess that really must be one MASSIVE budget that DC has this season!

No chance of getting that Brit pack.
Steelers have fixed one coach, what about the other. Out of the frying pan into the fire i fear for big doug, wonder what Shields told him about last season? how long till he gets sick of simmsey???
The only bonus is, it cant get much worse from last season...can it?

Can't get any worse really,as for the coach being fixed it's probably gearbox trouble Only time will tell if it's a good move for us,was hoping for your man Mr.Strachan.Hopefully changes are afoot,thought too many players had got comfy.Rob Dowd to return,Danny Myers to be captain and Steelers win everything next season

I'm waiting for the fallout from the usual Steelers and Simms nonsense and Christiansens reaction to it to start kicking off. Because something tells me that big Doug,the so called big brash,tough talking,no nonsense American won't put up with some of the usual ridiculous stuff that happens in and around and comes out of the Steelers camp. My guess is that either,the Steelers/Simmsy have to change their ways or Christiansen won't put up with it for long !

No change in that lot,DC has a rude awakening coming once he see's there is little or no supporting group off ice. Wonder how he is at finding housing,sorting visa's,family issues, etc.etc. He may have to ask Smith for some more money or a bigger share of the 50/50.

DS The BS will carry on as he always has, DC won't make any waves (may even 'convert' to the DS style - who knows?). I don't buy this image of DC taking any kind of principled stand or anything... doesn't strike me as being any more noble or whatever than anyone else.

Care to share what this ridiculous stuff is your talking about since Tony Smith took over?

I don't buy this image of DC taking any kind of principled stand or anything... doesn't strike me as being any more noble or whatever than anyone else. Same question as above, name the stuff that's happened over the last 2 years since Tony Smith took over that is worthy of the ridiculous tag? Although to be fair, you've been ranting anti Steelers propoganda on here and other Panthers forums for years, so it's never likely to change even if we were to never utter another word. Personally DS speaks no more BS than you and many others on here and elsewhere.

I personaly think Tony smith is good for Steelers and for Panthers and long may he own the Steelers . I also think DS is doing a good job there too with his BS. But I don't think big Doug has made the right choice to jump ship from Belfast as I think with Kellman he had someone to take the load off his back , he won't get that luxury from DS the BS. And we shall have to wait until the end of next season to see what it all turns out like .

And we shall have to wait until the end of next season to see what it all turns out like . Oh I agree. Simmsey has spouted some of the most inane BS over the last 20 years, nobody can disagree with that. He probably wouldn't even disagree himself. But, sometimes for us the bad name sticks and there are some, not all of course, that won't look to the future or what's happened in the recent past but much prefer to look at what happened 5 years ago under Phillips or even further back under Brown. Tony Smith can't do anything to change that and since he's been in charge I really can't see where the ridiculous tag comes from apart from some inbred hatred towards the Steelers brand. The same hatred that those posters accuse our organisation of. Pot, Kettle springs to mind for some. As for Doug C, nobody, including you, knows what help he will get behind the scenes in Sheffield. But, as always, we'll know more about the decisions this time next year.

I have to say that I can see why Doom and fellow Steelers fans are happy with this appointment. Which other coach apart from ours would you be happy to have from this league (Thommo maybe)? DC seems to have the respect of his players and the respect of other teams players and coaches. So he must be doing something right. His recruiment of players looks pretty good to me as well, both in Belfast and Edinburgh. To say that his teams only play boring trap hockey doesn't seem right either. His teams have always given us good games with players like Keef who have alweays been good to watch. Only time will tell if he is going to be a success or not(hopefully not as we continue to win most things).

Just for a bit of fun. A video from a recent band that played at the HOS. Will be on MTV shortly. Good exposure for all the sport hopefully.

yeti he talks a good game however " BS baffles brains" as you say time will tell but I doubt they will be as good as most think they will> He is not well liked around the league by his peers so expect some fireworks early between teams especially if he tries to poach players.
