  1. I was going to say I will do the Porto game until i realised I am away most of Monday and have a wedding on Tuesday and my wife's birthday is on Wednesday. I will go for the livie game on Sunday. I will try and help you out more often in the coming games.
  2. I expect OJO to be in the starting line-up and to be fair he is improving in every game he plays.
  3. I will just say that OJO is also looking like he is getting to grips with the Scottish game. He has played well in the last two games and is winning a lot of balls in chasing back. He could be a cracker if he keeps improving.
  4. I actually don't think Black was that bad for us. People didn't like him but he was MOTM on a lot of occasions. Jeffers was the first name that sprung to my mind.
  5. Every country in the world complains about their referee's. Even with the use of VAR referee's make decisions that are Incomprehensible, to us mere mortals.
  6. I wouldn't have given a penalty for that and I thought Madden was okay. I would have preferred we went for the jugular instead of resting players and bringing on Halliday and Murphy. Every goal could count at the end of the season.
  7. And also to enjoy the hospitality of flying on Rangers chartered flights to European venues as he used to brag about.
  8. Are the board not going to water down the shares in the near future?
  9. Yes I loved wee Doddy as well although I didn't pick him. Bobby Russell another I loved but never picked.
  10. Colin Stein Dave Smith Tam Forsyth Davie Cooper Gazza, Jim Baxter was also on my list but really I was too young to appreciate him fully.
  11. Looks like Dick Advocaat will be taking over until the end of the season to get the ship steadied and give Feyenoord time to sort things out.
  12. Debatable penalty? Did you see it from the back angle. It was a stonewaller all day every day. The only thing to debate is who should have taken it.
  13. Bit the bullet before being sacked. 300-400 angry fans waited outside their training complex for the team bus returning from Amsterdam. They really are a poor team. They also paid 7mil for an Argentine defender who looks like he has never played football. That is huge money for Feyenoord.
  14. I love it when teams waste time all game and then it comes back and bites them on the bum. Watching them race around in the last 5 minutes trying to get the ball into play quickly is great to watch.
  15. Cyprus enforces Russian mafia law - Hoofdinhoud Met dank overgenomen van EUobserver (EUOBSERVER), gepubliceerd op dinsdag 1 december 2015, 17:53. Auteur: Andrew Rettman Cyprus is helping Russian officials to hush up a mafia scam and to hunt down the people who exposed it. Its justice ministry, last week, invited Russian sleuths to conduct a joint raid with Cypriot police on the offices, in Nicosia, of lawyers acting on behalf of Bill Browder. Browder is the former employer of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian auditor who, in 2007, uncovered a huge tax embezzlement scam by Russian officials acting in league with an organised crime syndicate, the Kluyev Group. When Magnitsky went public, his office was raided, he was jailed, and later killed in prison. The stolen money was never recovered. Browder has campaigned for EU sanctions against the killers and for member states to seize the money, which was, in part, laundered in European banks. Back in 2012, he gave 133 pages of documents, seen by this website, to Cyprus' anti-corruption agency, Mokas, showing that the Kluyev gang moved $31 million of the funds out of Russia via Cypriot banks: Alpha Bank; Cyprus Popular Bank; FBME Bank; Privatbank International; and Komercbanka. Mokas never recovered the funds. Instead, in an echo of events in Moscow in 2007, Cypriot police, on Friday (29 November), together with two Russian investigators, Sergei Petryashov and Artem Ranchenkov, snatched Hermitage Fund documents and interrogated its lawyers. EUobserver contacted the Cypriot foreign ministry for a comment on Monday. It said on Tuesday afternoon: “Your questions have been forwarded to the competent authorities … and we will forward to you their reply when we have it.” This website understands Cyprus granted the request for legal assistance in relation to Russia’s prosecution of Magnitsky, posthumously, and Browder, in absentia, for fraud. The prosecution has been ridiculed, not least by the EU, as an attempt to conceal the tax embezzlement. The EU foreign service, in 2013, spoke of “unconvicing evidence” and called it “a disturbing message to those who fight corruption in Russia.” The UK, by contrast, denied similar requests for legal assistance. Other EU states, such as Luxembourg, also froze stolen funds. Friend of Russia Cyprus is often described by EU diplomats as a “friend of Russia.” Also in November, it extradited to Russia Natalia Konovalova, a former employee of Yukos Oil, the energy firm seized by the Kremlin when its then owner, Mikheil Khodorkovsky, tried to enter politics. The Cypriot president, Nicos Anastasiades was the only EU leader at Russia’s WWII parade in Moscow in May. He says the EU should lift Russia sanctions and recently let Russian warships use Cypriot ports. Meanwhile, Cyprus’ appetite for dodgy Russian money was exposed by German intelligence during the 2012 talks on its EU bailout. The BND intelligence service compiled a report, leaked to German media, showing that Russian oligarchs and organised crime chiefs held deposits worth $26 billion (€25 billion) in Cypriot banks. The figure is roughly equivalent to Cyprus’ annual GDP.
  16. if the going price is 25 million for a crippled LB then Morelos must be worth at least 35-40mil
  17. I voted for McGregor a few weeks ago because he saved us but I just thought Baricic's performance and his pass was such a thing of beauty that he deserved it this week. i think best all round performance was probably Helander though.
  18. looking at that closely. Should we have had a penalty?
  19. Possibly totally across the goal would have hit the defender but the ball was at a perfect height to head it down or to the left of the keeper. This isn't a great save as the ball is hit right at him. Morelos should have scored and I am sure Colin Stein, Mark Hately . Derek Johnstone and probably even BBC Thommo would agree with me.
  20. Helander was brilliant as was McGregor and both could easily have been MOTM but for me it has to be Barisic for the world class pass for the goal. He did his defensive duties well but his attacking play was sublime to add to that. For me he should have had 2 assists as I still feel Morelos's header should have rustled the netting.
  21. To be honest people saying things are tedious is getting tedious.?
  22. All of a sudden without changing anything, in fact I didn't even have the computer on all day, twitter images are starting to show again on Firefox. Really strange.
