  3. East fife switched their league cup game against rangers to east end park police might claim it wouldnt be safe Peterhead might think they woudl make more money etc
  4. Think a mini-bus would be in order Forfar doesnt have a train station
  5. Suspect peterheads game will be moved to pittodrie
  6. Does that 28% increase in viewing figures co-incide with a 28% drop in attendances?
  7. The walker family put 100million into Blackburn rovers resulting in a completely rebuilt stadium and a premiership title. what the fuck happened to romanovs 60million?
  8. is this not in danger of a bosman case? Player out of contract but seemingly unable to sign for a new team because his old team are entitled to compensation and no one will pay it. Hate to say it but I reckon this compensation rule will be the next thing to be kicked into touch by the european courts
  9. Surely this potential 6figure sum would just vanish like the 9million they are meant to have got for him
  10. interesting to see what the clubs do when the sky deal runs out Sky know it is a buyers market so could have the whole league over a barrel. If the deal was half of what we currently get would they tell them to fuck off and concentrate on getting the lost revenue from attendances or would they grease up and take it like the bitches most football clubs in europe are? Given my interest in the game has been steadily declinining since the first SPL tv deal (6:05pm sunday kick offs) Im beginning to wonder if a return to the old days of saturday night sportscene and sunday afternoon scotsport might make me take notice again and would it actually kill our league or just force out the deadwood?
  11. i do wonder about professional footballers I know they arent known for intelligence but after all the supposed crap about im wanting a move closer to the family, 2months after his contract expires he decides to go on trial at a club which is apparently on the edge of financial ruin. Reminds me of all those players who turned down clubs like us, the arabs, hibs etc to go to Hearts and are now wondering if their pay packets are going to turn up and supposedly being told to find somewhere else to play. Perhaps im being unfair but i reckon he thought there would be a queue of championship or perhaps even a couple of premierships teams waiting for him and now hes finding out what the real world is like
  12. Not to be cynical but a player on a 1 year contract facing a prossible bad injury suddenly being keen to extend the deal he is already on doesnt surprise me
  13. According to wikipedia we were meant to be sending Peter hetherson to united in exchange but Hetherston failed the medical. I always thought he pulled the plug and went off to be player manager somewhere
  14. Another classic example of peoples desires to be-little others to cover their own insecurities The issue here is not that a professional footballer isnt an intellectual but that the school saw fit to invite him in as a positive role model to encourage children to read more. Had they brought him in to encourage them how to run around alot or show them how to earn between 50-200k a year for the best part of a decade without being very good at their job then fine but when you think of intelligence does anyone here automatically think of a professional footballer? My old school managed to get Michael Morpurgo to visit them. The journos can say what they want (the standard of literacy in the media is getting worse by the way) but put them up against mackie on a football pitch and he would humiliate them.
  15. Stick the postcode on their website into google and you end up in the docks next to the neptune bar I take it this is the old Lazerquest?

    Admit it you only got the first 2 for the title and never read the speel 2:50 onwards
  17. Last time I saw him was a random appearance on a 'fresh prince of bel-air' repeat. Apparently he managed 3 platinum albums in yankee-ville.
  18. BBC reporting that he swedish? Any chance its another Kari arnason that is injured?
  19. Not that I wish to defend him but for some bizarre reason Invergowrie is governed by Perth & Kinross Council
  20. Appears to be a massive Polish way support at Fulham. Almost as many stewards & cops too
  21. The argument is if ian wood is giving 50million for the gardens then 50million is the maximum budget. But then again there is a proposal which has planning permission and would only cost approx 10million (which they had already raised 9.5million.) but fucking megalomaniac and his friends on the council jumped in with dreams and pure greed so the 9.5million for peacock visual arts has gone elsewhere. As per usual in these situations nothing will eventually get done because too many people want a piece of the action
  22. Saying on BBC now that the court action is to have the winding up order dismissed (probably why the BBC have now removed it from their main headlines)
