gersfem - it is a UTTER disgrace that parents like yourself can not buy your kids the top they want due to fear that they are going to get attacked. I know I banged on about this for the last week, but this is the type of place we are now living in. Scotland has become a violent, racist and unwelcoming place and it saddens me that Scotland has come to this. Neds over-run most towns and villages, racism, sectarianism, knife attacks etc are common place most weekends (if not most days). Yet, our overpaid politicians sit back and tell us all that Scotland is a great wee place and that EVERYONE is welcome whilst they display anti-English racism. IMO, they are partly to blame for these attacks and its time we reclaimed our towns and our country from these scumbags. End of rant... Cammy F

Borrowed from another forum.... http://media.putfile.com/Le-Guen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpkpqeQdHeU Goal to win title in first year and will be here for 3 years.......... AT LEAST... Cammmy F

Gersfem, a friend of mine reluctantly bought his lad an England top 2 years ago - his lad is a Rangers fan but beckham is his hero. So my mate buys his lad the new Rangers top and an England tip with Beckham 7 on the back. Two weeks later the top is in the bucket and he has to splash another ~�£50 for a Real Madrid - beckham 7 top. The reason, the lad was spant on and varbally abused when out playing in his England top. BTW - he got NO abuse for wearing a Real top tho.... If I were you, I'd convince your wee lad to go for another top rather than an England top. One Scotland, Many Cultures, aye right Mr McConnell.... Cammy F

Unfortunately Danny, I don't think this has anything to do with football. These people were attacked due to their nationality (and perceived nationality). Would they have been attacked if they were wearing any other top? I don't think so. These were racist attacks on a 7 year old and a disabled person. Only the lowest of the low could have perpitrated these vile, racist attacks. Fookin scumbags that they are. EDIT - just thought that I would post that the BBC are reporting that the 7 year old lad and his Dad were attacked by a guy in a Rangers jersey - you ain't no Rangers fan in my book. Cammy F

Think Rooney and Crouch will be the pairing England will plump for - he may use Joe Cole as well, this is a role Cole has played for West Ham and he certainly has the skill and pace to play the 'link role' with Rooney and or Crouch leading the line. Cammy F

I don't think it will - all the thread has done is highlight 2 vile racist attacks that occured in Scotland. Cammy F

Apologies, I meant to type 'nationalistic' issue - as in the attack was due to the nationality (or perceived on the 2nd case) of the victim. I know that these are isolated incidents, but it is worth remembering that a youth has just been charged with racial (anti-English) attacks on Lothian Council buildings and a few years back, a 15 year old English lad was murdered in Edinburgh due to his nationality. It is also worth remembering that racist crimes in Scotland are growing 11% per year and wonder round most towns and villages in Scotland and you will encounter racist slogans on walls, bus shelters, shops, shutters etc. In fact, where I stay, the local shop has some nice new graffitti on it - 'Pakis Out', 'NF', 'BNP' and ironically 'Scotland For The Scots'. Cammy F

Excuse me saying this, but this isn't a domestic club issue - this is a 'national' and racist issue. These 2 people were attacked because they were wearing England tops - simple as that. Cammy F

The centre-half - TV replays clearly show that it wasn't Larrsonn.. Cammy F

Eh, but Larrson didn't score tho.... From what I saw of the game it looked like England controlled the first half and Sweden the second. I haven't seen a lot of England in this touriment but IMO their right hand side is a concern. Neither Neville nor Carragher are good right backs and this negates the obvious threat of Beckham. For so long their left hand side was weak, but with the 2 Coles, this has improved vastly. Campbell looked poor last night and as I said prior to the World Cup - England's first choice, fully fit 11 is a match for anyone. However, given Rooneys lack of games, an apparent horrendous injury to Owen (who wasn't fit anyway) and Rio limping off, I can't see them getting to far. Cammy F

.... and another example.... Cammy F

Pure and utter racist filth scumbag. Cammy F

I think it is - he received a 1 year extension at the end of the season. Cammy F

Do you think Billy Thompson is pleased to be part of the new set-up? Cammy F

I seem to remember him getting ripped at full back every time we played Hibs. They obviously targeted him as a weakness (along with Hutton) and in the 2-1 defeat at Easter Road, they continually knocked the ball over and in behind our very narrow fullbacks. When playing left back he (and Hutton) both appear to go to narrow leaving big gaps down the flanks. This meant that our wide midfield players were getting dragged back negating their attacking threat. He was bought as a utility player and was used by Hibs as a 'sweeper' and as an attacking left midfield player. IIRC he was Hibs top or joint top scorer one year...... If I'm honest, I wouldm't be disappointed in he was released and replaced by a better, younger option. Again tho, I wouldn't be to disappointed if PLG kept him as a squad player. Cammy F

Am I the only one who wasn't impressed by Murray last season? Started off OK then went down hill drastically. He seemed unfit, out of position all the time, offerd nothing going forward and didn't settle in any position.... Cammy F

It depends on what 'journalist' you believe. Some say the 'war-chest' includes wages. Given that, one 4 million pound player on �£20K per week would take around �£10M to cover. Others say that the 'war-chest' is for transfer fees alone. Don't know what to believe TBH but think we'll see another 2 or 3 players before the season starts (right back, left midfield/attack and forward). However, if we manage to offload Novo, Ricksen, Malcolm, Fan Fan, Bernard etc I would expect them to be replaced. Cammy F

Latapy and JAB is who you are missing.... Cammy F

Ronaldo to sign for Rangers - done deal - �£4.5M Cammy F

Latapy, Andrews, Reyna, Gio, Prso, Sionko, Henprick, Namouchi, Rino, Viduka, Boric, 'majic', Nakamura, Svensson, Moore, Boumsong Cammy F

Evening Times stating that Bain has been dispatched back to France to secure the signing of Clement. PLG has made this signing his top priority and we will up our bid. Also reports that we have submitted a �£2.5M bid for Elmader (sp) and this deal could be concluded as soon as Sweden are eliminated from the World Cup (so come on England and T&T!!!). It appears that the press conforence tomorrow is for PLG to be introduced to the press and mark his official start as Rangers manager. Cammy F

Agreed, wouldn't mind (a fully fit and focussed) him in my team. Cammy F

Aye, expect a 'carve-up' - both teams will be happy with a draw as both will progress to the next round. However, I'll be cheering on England as I hope T&T win and Big Marv gets to the next round. The Big Guy deserves a chance at the WC - keep believing Marv.. Cammy F
