***2012-13 Barclays Premier League***
Gribz replied to simplythebest's topic in General Football Chat
Come on Arsenal, give Fulham a good tonking today and get back in the title race. Man U should cruise it at Villa. City will beat Spurs but it will be a boring game. Chelsea will beat Liverpool. -

Hearts fail to pay six players their September wages
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Kennedy? Was never convinced by him anyway for Rangers. But if Hearts do go and need to start again in Div 3 surely they would have to wait until next season to play? They couldnt just walk back into a league half way through. It would be a Gretna situation and teams would get 3 points for fixtures. They cant go anywhere else except Div 3. -
Bill McMurdo - Whatâ??s Really Going On In Scotland In 2012
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
Having people actually 'like' this plus the comments show how we have animals walking around pretending to be humans. -
We could go for the bizarre Belgian option which would be so confusing we may give up altogether! But its worked for them all the way down to the grass roots.

Who would qualify for Europe?

Its been much more obvious that there are too many clubs since 4 divisions were set up rather than 3 in the 90s. I even did a report for an english class assignment back in the 90s. But its not just the 2 Dundee clubs across the road from each other its having 4 teams up the road from them - Brechin, Forfar, Arbroath and Montrose all in the space of 20 miles from each other....they should have all merged and become Angus Utd. Im sure the central belt and Fife have similar scenarios. The Scottish game is now beginning to melt away infront of our eyes despite all the warning signs for years....the SPL and SFA should be struck off as incompetant. I cant believe the government simply allow this yet they would get involved and help Hearts?! Restructure shouldnt just be discussed right now, it should take effect from the start of next season with a 2 or 3 division set up and get the regional game back involved so it entices all the junior clubs that they have a chance of making it professional. As for the OP about Hearts, I see where Super Ally comes from. I wouldnt go as far as saying a brotherly relationship but Hearts have always been the 3rd force in Scottish football for the last 20 years. It was a refreshing challenge when Burley took over and looked like they would seriously be title contenders. They also did well in 1988, 1998 and 2006. Again you would feel for the genuine fan if Hearts went through what we did. They dont have a Charles Green coming along to buy them from Mad Vlad and 50000 at every home game so they would be in a far worse state, yet the other 10 SPL clubs (not Celtic) would be even worse if it happened to them. The SPL needed to watch what they wished for with their treatment to Rangers and the domino effect will now take place and start to pick off some of these clubs. Rangers and Celtic practically funded the game with away support and TV rights. I would be sorry to see Hearts go bust altogether and if they do go into Admin then if the twats at SPL / SFA dont restructure then I hope they go to Div 3.

Craig Levein exits as Scotland coach following talks
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Paid until 2014? Nuts! SFA are not fit and proper. Levein should do the decent thing and admit he was a donkey and accept a smaller pay off. -
Barca arent firing on all cylinders, they have had some wierd scores but a team cant win every game and the amount of football Xavi and Iniesta plus others have played over the last 2 years is enough to slow anyone down, they have played right up to end of may for 2 seasons plus international all the way to the end. But as mentioned, fair play to the hooped horrors they won the game. Had that been us id be having a 2 day bender.
-
Yeah Spurs have spent but probably inline with what they can afford so I dont mind that even though I dont like them. It makes them challenge but not walk away with anything like City 'Expect'.
-
Its the day I launch the sale of my T-shirts: I SURVIVED 2012
-
SFA have a lot to answer for, they and the SPL have ruined the game. The SFA employed Levein and its went so far backwards.
-
This is blatent! Not only that Celtic were drawn at home on the Sat also, yet who gets moved for TV? We are the only show in town.
-
Just cant want Man City to win anything. When its a team like Spurs or Everton who have worked there way up then Id want to see them do well but just dont like City at all. Glad they are practically out. Arsenal still have it all to do to qualify after throwing away a 2 goal lead.

Mario Jardel - Crikey I remember this guy was all set to sign and was in the stand at a match before not getting a work permit. Remember being excited at the time of him linking up with Laudrup and Gazza. What a goals to game ratio while at his peak. 91-95 Vasco da Gama - Apps 50 Goals 26 95-96 Gremio - Apps 42 Goals 31 96-00 Porto - Apps 169 Goals 166 00-01 Galatasary - Apps 43 Goals 34 01-03 Sporting Lisbon - Apps 62 Goals 67

Howard Wilkinson talks about The Battle of Britain 20 years on.
Gribz replied to Gazza_8's topic in Rangers Chat
TBH that goal his best, it was an absolute peach. But yeah he did score other quality goals. One thing that Hateley had which he wasnt really recognised for was pace, I remember him scoring a cracker at Pittodrie running away from a defender who had a head start on him. -
Let me give you a hand for the 28. 2 teams of XI with 3 subs : :fish: Team 1: _______________Letizi_______________ Ross_____FanFan___Konterman___Vignal Maniero___Hughes____ Rae______ Celik ___________Jeffers___Ostenstad_____ Subs: Vanoli Broadfood Adam VS Team 2 ______________Ginzburg_____________ Bollan_____Webster___Bonnissel__Bernard Rothen_____Faye___Mlandenovic___Ortiz ____________Beattie__Gayle____________ Subs: Gow, Sionko, Velicka

Craig Levein exits as Scotland coach following talks
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Didnt include him in the squad, 1 player drops out and Commons is called up and goes straight into the team. The guy was deluded...and as you say arrogant. -
I see where you are coming from and tend to agree with that. People do dismiss others simply for "The Now" and by what they have witnessed. Gazza was a stand out though, a genius who made an impact and has to make the final list. There is a lot of unsung hero's and a lot of names do fit into that catergory rather than legend status. Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and if Craig Moore (example) is a legend in someones mind then so be it. You get players like Michael Mols who are idolised yet only really played for half a season at his peak. Would he make a legend?
-
TBH even if we did have a contract stating we receive xx% of funds plus any damages are paid, can anyone see the SFA paying out? They would still come up with some nonsense to avoid this. Best stay away from them altogther. Let them have their problem....its these type of scenarios that need to arise to show them that the Scottish Game needs Rangers.
-
It will be hard to keep it to 28. Some others that could be on the list from recent era: Jorg Albertz Dado Prso Ian Ferguson (got all 9IAR medals) Nacho Novo Gordon Durie Stefan Klos Arthur Numan Davie Robertson
-
Bet Queens Park are pissed off as there will surely be restricted attendance for when we visit. I hope the other 3 stands are open that day to get the placed filled up and give QP a good pay day and a good atmosphere for all the players.
-
He'd get a game upfront for this team....
-
As Craig says depends who is in the semi's....if its say St Mirren v Kilmarnock then it should be played at Fir Park.
-
Wanted a) home tie and b) an easy tie. Thank you....we will take Elgin at home all day long. 3 all SPL matches means at least 3 of them drop out...good stuff.
