Brill turn and finish Ian....that film has obviously been colourised as it was shot in the 40's. ??

Celebrating a 0-0 draw is something I'd expect from people with low standards.

There are similarities in BBC Scotland reporting of Rangers supporters celebrating a Premiership title and the Tartan Army's visit to London. Twenty thousand appears to be the accepted figure for both instances. Initially, BBC Scotland reported 28 arrests at George Square. Since regular mugshots have appeared in national newspapers courtesy of Police Scotland, I believe another 14 have been arrested? Last night, the Met' Police have reported 30 arrests in central London directly involving the Tartan Army. I don't know if the Met' plan further release of mugshots? Both instances have similar characteristics in large scale drunkeness, release of pyrotechnics, large scale litter, destruction of public property, ........... etc. The difference is there are no politicians lining up to make political capital out of the second event. The First Minister has made no comment, the Deputy First Minister has made no comment, the Justice Minister has made no comment and, Police Scotland has made no comment. Interestingly, the usual suspects have made no comment on their social media feeds and, are not demanding the FM, ..... etc make any comment. As Stuart Cosgrove is forever telling us, "this is new, modern Scotland".

I've been very impressed with Germany-- even when they were behind, I thought they were playing well, doing the right things. 'Group of Death' is now wide open!

Ahh betamax...so defo 1940's ?

She's got Parkinson's Disease, then?

Also seen a video of him being arrested for his assault. Been a great weekend for him if true.

Lovely turn and finish sir!. Played Ayrshire amateur for a few years, but tbh I dunno if I was really good enough, in reality I preferred playing 7 asides with my mates. I was never a trainer either, at 46 I am probably fitter than I was at 28, hated running, now love it, ultramarathons, hill racing, all sorts. The irony. ? Played with Billy Gilmours dad, which makes me feel old!

The professional negligence cavalcade continues, and it is 'negligence' that BDO pursues here. The assertion is that BDO did not maximise the return to creditors, and that it should have raised much more than the £5.5M which, if memory serves, was the final selling price. Yet, when we consider that D&P were Whyte's Administrators of choice, Green's boast that he knew he would get to buy the Company and assets, etc, out of administration, Green's other boast that he had 'shafted' Whyte (via the Sevco (Scotland) manoevre, i i r c), and that £5.5M was by all measures, and accounts, 'light', then we might, naively, and without prejudice, come to think that there was more than mere negligence involved. We are all reasonably conversant with 'Constructive Dismissal'; is there such a thing, in the world of Insolvency, as 'Constructive Negligence'? Whitehouse and Clark made Rangers ‘nearly unbuyable’, court told James Mulholland Saturday June 19 2021, 12.01am, The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/whitehouse-and-clark-made-rangers-nearly-unbuyable-court-told-n6r7ph967 A pair of financial experts made Rangers “nearly unbuyable” during their attempts to save the club from ruin, a judge has been told. Kenny McBrearty QC claimed at the Court of Session that “negligence” was a common theme of attempts made by David Whitehouse and Paul Clark to rescue the football club. He told Lord Tyre that the two men were incompetent after their appointment as administrators at Ibrox in 2012 and asked for a ruling in favour of his client, BDO, the club liquidators. The financial services company is seeking £56.8 million in compensation from Whitehouse and Clark. The two men, who worked for the financial consultants Duff & Phelps, were given the responsibility of saving the club after it landed in financial trouble. McBrearty said that they had failed to give proper consideration to making players redundant, selling stars to other clubs, and ensuring that the club’s wage bill was reduced. He referenced evidence given to the court by Simon Shipperlee, a colleague of Whitehouse and Clark, and emails presented to the court, which he said showed that the two men did not follow correct procedures. He added: “What we have said is that a common hallmark of negligence is a failure to take specialist advice from people experienced in the business of the company.” He said that there was a “failure to take advice about selling players outside of the transfer window, we have an alleged failure to take advice in relation to brand, we have an alleged failure to take advice in relation to take advice in relation to the disposal of the heritable property. So it is a theme that runs through in the case as a whole.” McBrearty said that the back-and-forth decision to reduce wages or make redundancies was a “chaotic process”. BDO believes that Whitehouse and Clark did not cut costs sufficiently well enough after they were drafted into the then ailing club. Lawyers for the company claim that the pair could have raised more money for the club by selling on players and selling club assets such as Ibrox and Murray Park. Whitehouse and Clark, who deny allegations of negligence and are contesting the claim, were appointed as administrators after HM Revenue & Customs took Rangers to court for £18 million of unpaid tax in February 2012. They sold the business and assets to a consortium led by the businessman Charles Green for £5.5 million before BDO were appointed to liquidate the company. The three men were among seven indicted over fraud allegations relating to Rangers; the case against them was dropped in June 2016. Whitehouse and Clark raised a multimillion-pound action against the police and prosecutors last year. Prosecutors admitted the case against the duo was “malicious” and conducted “without probable cause”. They both received multimillion-pound settlements. Prosecutors admitted that Green, who was arrested during the investigation and eventually acquitted, was wrongfully taken to court and that the prosecution against him was malicious. Yesterday McBrearty said that Whitehouse and Clark should have sold players but refrained because it would have made the club less attractive to prospective buyers. He added: “The irony of it is this — the day to day is that they are retaining the fabric of the club to make it more attractive for bidders, and we have had direct evidence from one of the bidders that it made it more unattractive.” The hearing continues.

Scotland fans gather in two cities, setting off flares, singing about sending them home, several arrests were made (drug possession, weapons and racial aggravation) and not a negative word from the Scottish Nationalist Party. Hypocrisy off the scale (albeit totally expected).

First class goal

And also VAR, when called upon has delivered the correct decision.

Just a wee observation about 2020 so far. The refs have been amazing. Best refereeing I've seen at a big tournie ever. Taking no shit from the divers

Immense in terms of desire and effort. Still lack quality to put the ball in the net. Hate to say it but that wee w*nker Griffiths was fit he would put away these chances. Hopefully we can beat Croatia but looking at the group's I fear that will not be enough to get through as ne of the best 4rd place teams
