UEFA are making an absolute mess of European competition. Even though Celtic should be "fucked" they still make group stages of the Conference no matter their result - same with us I guess. But if you lose in your first game you should be papped out. UEFA has basically taken European football from being highly competitive when it was the European Cup to being little more than participation awards. Shambles

You definitely didn’t google that. I’m getting closer though ??

“A red flag on his ECG - a possible heart problem”. Direct from Gerrard

A tad worrying to hear about Ofoborrh

Liverpool are a great value bet at 5's - especially with their whole back line back fit and available. Don't underestimate just how important VVD is to them. I would be laying the shit out of Arsenal at those odds !

I don't know the SA regulations but that doesn't hold for me (without, as I say, knowing the regulations). Other jurisdictions wont care if you charge interest or not - what they WILL care about, is receiving income based on a perceived arms-length transaction. 8% may be a great return for him but it also would satisfy, I imagine, the SA authorities in terms of the interest rate charged being arms-length. Where my issue would be is that I don't believe that DK would have had to have actually received that 8%. I do US tax returns for our company and we have an inter-company loan, repayable on demand, with no interest applied. Clearly not arms length. However, all that we do to satisfy the US authorities is calculate an "implied interest". In DK's instance this would have meant that his SA tax return would show a commercial interest rate (arms length) which would allow SARS to collect income tax on the interest "charged". But DK didn't need to collect the interest itself. At least that is how it works elsewhere. As I said, I don't now the inner workings of SARS so could be wrong.

That is a very concerning read. Rev MacQuarrie's credentials have been beyond reproach for a very long time. The way that these 3 appear to have bullied him, and also Christine it would seem, to get their own way is absolutely disgusting. I would personally actually consider running for election at the next elections to throw a spanner in their works and attempt, no matter how futile it was, to steer the C1872 ship back on course. Even if it would be like steering the Titanic....

Aside from Rangers there are two other places he will manage. England and Liverpool. He stays on the same trajectory, does well in Europe and he will be a shoe-in to replace Klopp. Thereafter once successful at Pool, and a little bit older, the England job should be his too

Arsenal are shite mate - and I say that as an Arsenal fan. So poorly ran that I actually don't see them bettering last season.

Their games for the U20's are at South Queensferry mate.

Until you get higher inflation and the inflation rate eats away at your disposable income

Amazing how quickly the time flies my friend. What you up to these days ?

Slightly off topic.... But Fabio Cardoso.... remember him.... just signed for Porto - boy has come a long way it seems !

In which case they should have charged C1872 25p per share too - because there is little, if any, doubt that C1872 would still have paid 25p per share for those shares. That is the crux of the issue here it seems. BTW, good to see you back Barry - hope all is well my friend.

Kelly plays far higher up the pitch than a metronome

his Academy will keep going - KT doesn't do too much of the training anyway, Geordie his sidekick does most of it. That said, KT took Geordie with him to Kelty - Geordie was Musselburgh manager. My kid's team when he was at Linlithgow was littered with ex pro youth kids, mostly Hearts. He is at Gala Fairydean now, he is 16 but playing U20's - just waiting to hear on trials for Solihull Moors in the Conference - all he cares about is football - I am just hoping his academics can catch up...

Kevin Thomson still does some coaching for Bo'ness - and my kid played with Linlithgow for a year

The only Juniors worth talking about is the famous Auchinleck Talbot I was scouted by a Scottish top tier team when I was at Killie Boys Club, but in their infinite wisdom none of my coaches informed me about it until 6 months after I had quit Killie, and football and even then it was only because they bumped into my parents in the town. Thanks coaches. I actually started in goals and played for the County team down in England (Hampshire) but our school team was so good I got bored, so then moved to left midfield, and played for the County team again, even though I was right footed. When we moved to Scotland and I joined Killie I just wanted to play so I ended up playing left back, which was the position I was scouted for. Played alongside Gary Holt who ended up at Celtic and was capped 10 times for Scotland, and no word of a lie, Gary was maybe 5th best player in our team behind me, a CB, the GK and a central midfielder. Gary always had a great engine, and also had the determination to make it. When I quit football I took up lawn bowling - won the Scottish Youth Pairs when I was 13 and then became the first person to appear in two finals when I was 15 - would have won it again but my partner played shite in the final.

Yeah, he is behind Mcgregor, McLaughlin, McCrorie, Firth, Wright - best for his career if he leaves

Those same two sides are also in the same league..... so not sure even what you are suggesting here. They beat us but it wasnt as if in either instance they were better than us.

LOL. Unbeaten in the league domestically, took penalties to beat us in the SC, last minute goal in our only defeat domestically..... and his "433 has been rumbled" - away compo, lol

me either

LOL. Barisic, Goldson, Tavernier, Davis, Kamara - 2nd string Hagi, Roofe - 2nd string ? The only true second string players we used from the start were McLaughlin, Simpson, Itten and maybe, Wright.

Perez clearly has the right idea..... invite a dozen clubs into a super league, have the other 11 pull out because of thebacklash.... take the £1.1 billion and pay off the debts of Madrid - lol

Absolutely. Aston Villa released a statement saying that they are considering punishment for the 6, and rightly so. I would ban them for a year too - I would give them such a draconian punishment that it hurts the owners significantly to the extent they would have second thoughts next time, and there WILL be a next time, they consider something like this.
