Why can't people speak proper English? Don't know why the beeb have given this guy a big pay day he can't even be bothered to speak the Queens English? 'I 'fink' he's an uneducated bastard, not fit for purpose.

Suarez was head and shoulders above everyone else in the EPL when with Liverpool. When he joined the league with the best players in the world, the clock started ticking for Rogers.

Us fans just want entertainment, that's what we pay for afterall, 'kissing badges' and 'beating chests' after scoring for 'your heroes' adds to the occasion....doesn't it?

In the 'Quick Reply' box mate you'll see a 'bar' above it - within it there's a face with sunglasses on...just click on it and another window will open with a load of smiley's for your choice. Just click on the one you want, and Bob's your Auntie.

Scottish football lacks one main ingredient - Competition. Over the past 30 years and up to 4 years ago there were two teams dominating the league, today it is only one now, due to you know what. If Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and the Dundee clubs amalgamated as one club right now, the Old Firm would still dominate for the next 30 years. Two teams that are too big and we can't do nothing about it.

From Wiki... Arthurlie were handicapped in the 2005–06 season by an initial 12-point ban, inflicted by the Scottish Junior Football Association, based on an alleged headbutt on referee John McKendrick in a match with Auchinleck Talbot in February 2005. While the criminal courts found midfielder Mark Ross to be innocent of criminal assault, the SJFA punished the club for not co-operating with the enquiry. The club were also fined £3,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthurlie_F.C.

"...the Rangers officials influenced the referee" ...what a fanny he is eh? Prepare for a lot more of that shite when we go up next season...big bad Rangers only win by default.

C'mon the Jags!!!

Then again you could say they thought a lot of him or wouldn't have bothered in the first place. Football is full of hiring and sacking, the managers (the good ones) don't care about that issue, it's the norm for these individuals, the money's good along with the glamour and attention.

Maybe soon an official statement from the Board regarding disabled facilities will be confirmed as a matter of urgency.

I understand that fully, just that the Glasgow council are happy to help the scum.

Too busy with those from the darkside methinks.

Just for clarification: 99 goals 331 appearances if you count Glasgow Cup and Charity Cup games he played in... 108 goals 356 appearances

Wiki is not accurate either It was most likely Robert McElroy who put that on there

May have been out there that conversation, but it's the first I've heard of it.

That's definitely not right mate.

Aye LG... Robert McElroy is counting 7 goals he got in the Glasgow Cup and another 2 in the Charity Cup, but he hasn't added those games as appearances by the looks of it (25 in total 16 GC, 9 CC) So if you count those games, then certainly yes he did score 108 but in 356 games.

I took this from an old book I have, I'll double check it to see if I missed something and come back.

You wonder why the Rhecord would 'out' this kind of stuff when a case is scheduled to be heard at the High Court

Kenny Miller as you say is on 81, George McLean (who played alongside Forrest) managed 83 in just 117 appearances (if only we had beaten Berwick, who knows how many those two would have got together?) Colin Stein was close to achieving it...97 in 199 + 7 as a substitute, but Alex Scott got even closer with 99 goals in 331 games.

My memory is likely to be more faded than yourself boabie so I googled what you say. I found the Glasgow Cup wasn't competed for in the 1965/66 season, and that we lost 0-4 in the first round to them in the 1966/67 season, which means that thrashing came after Kai's Scottish Cup winner. Yes we were 2nd best for sure, but the reason I used Liverpool as an example was they won it after being fourth best in their league.

Yeah, only until that club eradicate that element of their support will it ever happen.

http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/celtic-rangers-attractive-premier-league-warburton?#:UgnqVKropdx9BA Rangers manager Mark Warburton has agreed with suggestions from Celtic that Scotland's big two should seek to play in the Premier League. Mark Warburton has added his voice to calls for Celtic and Rangers to join the Premier League. On Wednesday, Celtic's majority shareholder Dermot Desmond expressed his belief that the two Glasgow giants will be playing in England within the next 10 years, a claim that drew some measure of endorsement from the club's Norwegian manager Ronny Deila. And now Rangers' English boss Warburton has also suppored that view, although the man in charge at Ibrox conceded such an unprecedented shift in the landscape of British football is by no means imminent. "I am sure sooner or later, sometime in the future, not saying the near future, I am sure that will happen," he said. "There are a lot of hurdles to overcome before that becomes a reality. What dominates down south right now is TV money, it is obviously different down south to north of the border." According to Warburton, the prospect of making the English Premier League more attractive to television rights bidders would be the driving force behind such a transition. "You are always trying to keep the product fresh and how do you keep a product fresh?" he said. "I am sure you will get to the stage sooner or later where team X versus team Y hasn't got the same appeal to the average fan in the street, whereas Manchester United versus Rangers, Celtic versus Arsenal et cetera, it is new, it is fresh, it is another level of excitement. "I am sure any product is always looking to keep it fresh. If you ask any people down south they recognise the potential of clubs such as Celtic and Rangers. There is no doubt about that." However, the former Brentford manager also knows numerous obstacles would need to be negotiated before the ambitious idea moves closer to reality. "But again, there are many hurdles still to come," he said. "Where would they go? What level? How would they get in? How do you start that process? "It would take far smarter guys than I am to work it out."

Rino Gattuso's first career goal was assisted by Brian Laudrup.

Yep, this topic rears it's head once again: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34406891 Celtic still harbour ambitions of playing in a future British League, according to manager Ronny Deila. The subject was raised once again when majority shareholder Dermot Desmond predicted such an outcome for Celtic and Glasgow rivals Rangers. "It takes time but Celtic is a team that should have the opportunity to play in the best league," said Deila. "Hopefully in the end we can get into the Premiership or a league that is more a British thing." In 2009, English clubs voted against a proposal that would have admitted Celtic and Rangers to a second tier of the Premier League. At that time, Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the Premier League, described the idea as a "non starter". This year, the Premier League sold television rights to its games for a record £5.136bn. Deila said a British league "could be possible" but added that "it is not easy to do things very quickly in Britain". However, Desmond believes the global reach of Glasgow's big two will eventually lead to change. "Celtic and Rangers have an immense fan base throughout the world," the Irishman told BBC Scotland. "They are teams people want to watch. "Ultimately, football matches are about content, whether it's Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal or Liverpool. I think Rangers and Celtic are in that bracket. "So we look forward to maybe a new British league in the future. Everything evolves, nothing is static." Having missed out on promotion to the top flight last season, Rangers lead the way in the Championship after winning their opening eight games. And Desmond is looking forward to a time when the derby rivals meet on a regular basis. "We've missed them over the last few season," he said. "But I must say Aberdeen have built a quality squad, as have Hearts. "I think it's good for Scottish football to have clubs of the size of Celtic and Rangers playing each other."
