Apparently there are rules against this type of Banner and the Police are meant to be questioning the leader of the liege 'Ultras'.

Story is they sent a jpg of a different banner to the club for approval then turned up with this one.

Been a riot yet?

[tlg1903]

Sadly no, it's been quite tame so far

Appears to once again be the anti-climax the media were hoping to avoid

 

Stats say yon sevco had ONE shot at goal and it was OFF target.

It was always going to be the case, don't know how or why they thought otherwise! Pricks.

Cracking game on Sky just now between Barca and Villareal. Currently 3-2 Barca.

I stuck the Rangers, The/Celtic game on at about the 35 minute mark and watched until half time. Fucking hell what an utterly brutal standard of "football" that was. There wasn't even any kicking, rioting or fighting on or off the pitch. Massive let down. Ended up watching fucking River Cottage instead for the love of fuck.  Glad there won't be another for a while.

Timothy won 2-1 at St. Johnstone today, could have done with them dropping points.

On the plus side the arabs fucked up.

 

And Ross County stuffed Motherwell to keep them & St Mirren sweating

Well fans I know are past the sweating phase and have moved on to acceptance.

Just waiting for the pouring of outrage from you all following Rooney's embarrassing dive to secure Man Utd's win last night. Clearly zero contact. Literally none but down he went. Everyone's been defending him too which is even more of an embarrassment. Let's keep everyone on a level playing field, eh. 

[tom_widdows]

Don't know who the co-commentator was last night but seemed to be distinctly pro Man U.

I still think the equaliser should not have stood - what happened to 'you don't need to touch the ball to be interferring with play'?

As for the penalty? well its the old 'he used his experience' routine

[Tyrant]

I didn't watch the game so can't comment on anything else. Wouldn't surprise me though. I know Man Utd have only lost once in 18 or 19 games but yet Van Gaal is still seemingly under a wee bit of pressure. As illustrated by Sam Allardyce of all people burning him with some mind games.

[manc_don]

It was a shocking, shocking dive.  How they could defend him was beyond me.  He could have easily stayed on his feet and was hardly a reckless slide from the GK. Even that annoying sally from BBC Breakfast refused to get drawn into it.

 

Man united's actually play has been pretty shocking and i think this is why he's been put under pressure. It all seems far too fragile to me.  Something which I've never known a united side to look.

Rooney knocked the ball past the keeper, saw the ball was running away from him slightly and hit the deck. Fat Dowd too much of a pussy to book him for diving. Disgraceful.

Aye, Martin Keown is known for his pro-United stance right enough, particularly prevelant when Fellaini was elbowed in the face and all he did was go on about Fellaini elbowing people and that no doubt he would be elbowing someone soon.

 

New offside laws mean that you mostly have to touch the ball to be interfering with play. Surely this hasn't passed you by, Tom?  It's a farce of course, but that's the law.

[Madbadteacher]

Rooney was, is and always will be a cheat. I can't be the only one wishing he gets sent off in every game? Certainly deserves it, the way he constantly verbally abuses refs would see anyone else get red carded!

[tom_widdows]

Currently 2-0 Inter Milan with less than 25mins gone.

 

Amusing given all the backslapping about their 8 game winning run despite none of the matches being against the rest of the top 4 teams

[tom_widdows]

spoke too soon

spoke too soon

 

Feel dirty saying it Tom, but delighted that Victim FC have got themselves back into this tie.

They have to go to Italy next week with some kind of chance of getting through to the next round, otherwise they will simply rest several players ahead of our game on the Sunday.

Wouldn't mind seeing them picking up a right few injuries in the process though

thought did cross my mind earlier.

Hammering and they'd send the reserves. Glimmer of hope and its the full squad

[BigAl]

Three each it is then.

Await the positive spin placed on this by the Weegie media.

Not sure I'd ever view a 3-3 draw at home in Europe as a positive result

[tom_widdows]

Just a shame the chances of the 2nd leg going to extra time and penalties are extremely slim

[tlg1903]

That will do very nicely. A bloodbath in the second leg please

[Madbadteacher]

 

rasellik 1-0 up at half time, knackered and hanging on, eventually losing 5 - 1 with all Inter's goals in the last 20
