  1. So is he looking like a decent signing. I've not seen any of the games this season but was a but concerned to hear the commentator say Goodwillie was starting ahead of Rooney
  2. Legia Appealing but given they have already announced the games I seriously doubt UEFA will change their minds. Come on Maribor!!
  3. Guy was suspended for 3 games Didn't play in the 2 games against St Patricks or the first leg of the Celtic tie. Warsaw say 'that's his ban taken care of'. UEFA say 'you didn't register him in the squad for the St Patricks game therefore he was still banned so yer out'. Four years ago UEFA fined Debrecen £15,000 for a similar mistake ruling that they had "no interest in fielding this player for the three last minutes of additional time, when the score was so clearly in its favour" One rule for the Hungarians when facing the Bulgarians Another for the Polish when facing the Scots
  4. Suggests sponsorship pressure to me. More money to be made from Celtic TV rights etc. Trust Legia will appeal but I bet there is a couple of admin staff who won't be at their desks next Monday.
  5. The 114 point maximum too optimistic then? Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Allowed to change guess at any point as along as it is to an empty tally 90 89 88 87 86 85 84 83 82 81 80 - MBT 79 78 77 76 75 74 - BigAl 73 - BobbyBiscuit 72 - Edinburghdon 71 70 69 68 - Manc 67 - Nellie The Don 66 65 64 63 62 61 60 59 58 - Tom_Widdows 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20
  6. Thought this meant they were out completely but seems they get to go into the Europa League Playoffs. Still be interesting to see how much the lack of a $10million windfall fucks them up
  7. BT sport just announced they are covering it Also on Red TV for yon foreigners
  8. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-28657243 Sooo another cinema. Has the Vue one shut by any chance?
  9. Sold out in the home sections apparently
  10. Kids & Guns on Channel 4 So far a 4 year old girl has recieved a 44 magnum 'youth' rifle for her birthday And next up was a family with their own private Arsenal and shooting range including a Gatlin gun. They apparently take safety seriously though but somehow this 'child Geniuses' programme makes the gun nuts look normal and nice
  11. Pumped in Warsaw tonight 4-1 with Efe Ambrose sent off Now if only the Poles can score at Parkhead. Would like to think there will be a very noisy away support there
  12. I hear he always makes a good connection
  13. And yet they needed a 60billion euro bailout from the EU and additional funding from its apparently poorer neighbour? Their Health Service is very similar to the USA And their nationwide public transport and road network is essentially on par with the Scottish highlands once you skip out of Dublin. I'm sticking my eyes firmly east to Scandinavia and opposed to South West and Northwest to Ireland and Iceland.
  14. I think if yer gonna use a country as an example for the pros of independence in terms of money I would stick well clear of Ireland.
  15. Enlighten me as to how Ireland is 'now' richer than the UK?
  16. Said Whitecaps along with Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton & Ottowa might have had a bit of a problem getting into the MLS if Canada still had its professional football league but that went bust about 10 years ago. Monaco not only doesnt have a professional league but is also not a registered FIFA or UEFA Nation. If they were then there would probably be problems The only reason Wales now has a 'professional' league was that FIFA threatened to remove their world cup spot back in the early 90s because all of their clubs were playing in the English League. Canada are unlikely to have this problem because unlike Wales they don't have a vote in the IFAB. (IFAB voting structure is as follows - FIFA 4 votes, FA 1 Vote, SFA 1 vote, FAW 1 vote, IFA 1 vote. 6-2 majority is required to make any changes. A UK football league/ team would free up 3 votes and Blatter could go hog wild) But enough about football - This independEEEEEEEEEEEEnce malarky then?
  17. I doubt there will even be Radio Coverage given all BBC resources are seemingly being used for the Commonwealth games
  18. 1. Scotland no longer part of the UK = FIFA's dream for a UK national football team goes out the window. If there is no 'Union' there is no chance of a UK national Team and SEVCO and partner lose whatever minimal justification they have for saying they have a right to play in the English League. Something that trivial will be enough to get certain folk out to vote and given how many of their hordes there are in voting population it could easily be a major factor come September. Same as if tomorrow FIFA announced the Scotland national team was losing its place in the next world cup in favour of a UK team I reckon a fair few folk would be straight down the council to register to vote YES in September. Voters can be split into so many camps such as 'Those that research and make their decisions based on careful thought' 'Those who will vote the same way every-time no matter what 'Those who have no idea and effectively throw a dart at a notice board filled with names' and of course 'those who will vote based on one populist topic banded about by the media without any thought as to what the other consequences their choice might bring - eg those who voted UKIP in the Euro elections based purely on their Immigration stance. 2. Typos? Really?
  19. I think Salmond is deliberately avoiding any mention of rangers or celtic as scottish independance should finally kill off any thoughts those 2 clubs have of playing in the english premiership. Just watch the no vote go through the roof should that be set in stone.
  20. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-28513536 Whoever thought using the car-park of one of the largest shopping centres in Scotland as a Games Park & Ride needs shooting.

    Films

    Any chance you were flying long haul on BA? Transformers 4 - Generic by the numbers but passed the time and felt it was better than the first of the new ones (haven't seen the other 2). Still not a patch on the 1986 original Edge of Tomorrow - Didn't want to see it but was pleasantly surprised and felt it was actually very entertaining.
  22. Furthest they ever got in recent times was the playoff round on 2 occasions, 1 of which was after losing a champs league qualifier to Panathanikos. Yet according to UEFA Co-efficient they are 189th while the Dons are 320th which is the lowest rank of all the Scottish clubs in the co-efficient. Fucking Sevco are still down as 95th?! Hearts, Arabs, St Johnstone and Hibs are all ahead of the Dons
  23. Wrong thread but we all like your senitment
