People got on Hemdani's back alot last season but for my money when he did play he was one of the better players.

Not the quickest and obviously not match fit sometimes but he completed a hell of alot more passes in the midfield than Barry did when they played together.

I cant believe what im reading!!!

 

Ronaldo is a class player, he still has a lot to learn but is young.

 

If he can learn to release the ball at the right time he would be even better.

Agreed, he might be a bit of a whinger and isnt the finished article, but any team in the world would snap him up in an instant for the right money.

I dont want him to go, when he first broke into the team coming on as sub he was a very skillful young player with alot of potential.

Eck then started shifting him all over the midfield and he didnt perform as good after that.

I want to see how he performs under PLG, who i think will have a better clue than Eck ever did on where to play him to reach his potential.

Im not going to worry about the signings PLG makes until i see them in action and know they are or are not working. The players at Lyon werent exactly household names until he came about.

That Italian boy looks like he's about 12, lol.

He's a great player, i remember him playing against tic when he was at Lyon. Would be a good signing IMO.

who is bomber

John Brown, legend for Rangers, no-nonsense defender.

All the best Bomber, think he's done a decent job for the youth team.

Im not getting my hopes up yet, has the potential to be a great game, but might be disappointed.

Going by Spain at the moment, they should take this one easily, hope France are more up for it in this game, they've been rank so far.

Yeah i know he said he'd like to play for Rangers again one day, he's said that ever since he left, i just dont see it happening for another few seasons if it happens at all.

yip and if ac get relegated then gatuso would come back

Would be nice but i doubt it at this time of his career, alot of clubs (Man U for one) will be after him.

Read that they're saying now it might be a suicide attempt.

In all honesty i dont actually remember the guy, i remember his name but the picture i saw of him aint ringing any bells.

I hope Eck does get a job in the Championship or there abouts. Wouldnt mind seeing what he can do down there..... like learn from his mistakes for one thing.

Figo won't be pulled up in front of FIFA for his headbutt because the ref cooked him for the incident

He did? that was a bit harsh.

This guy tonight was a complete joke, far too trigger happy on the card count.

I thought last nights ref in the Arge game was one of the best at this WC for the most part, apart from Heinze should have walked.

Yeah i read that too about the charity work, i never realised it either.

Good on him for that.

Lets hope his services to the club improve in the new season compared to the, IMO, pretty awful season he had last year.

However, for Poll it probably represents the end of his World Cup.

 

Having rejected a couple of clear Australian penalty claims and also not been informed by his assistant that Kewell was marginally offside when he fired home the crucial goal, Poll was already having a bad night when he brandished a yellow card in Josip Simunic's face for a foul on Kewell.

 

The Melbourne-born centre-half should have been accompanying previously dismissed team-mate Dario Simic and Aussie defender Brett Emerton into the changing rooms as Simunic had already been shown one yellow card, a fact not lost on Mark Viduka.

 

"I was sure it was his second," said Viduka. "I asked Graham how many cards had Simunic received. Graham said only one. It looks like he got it wrong."

 

Poll did get it wrong - badly wrong by allowing Simunic to remain on the pitch, only realising his error after the final whistle when he produced a third yellow card and promptly dismissed the defender.

I forgot Emerton was the other one who was sent off.

But remember folks the real Ronaldo died the day before the WC 98 final and this is a lookalike!!

 

Quoted from Colshy's conspiracy book!!

Lol, i remember that. Never heard of that one before Colshy mentioned it.

Apparently the Italian bench said that they were just celebrating the goal from Inzaghi..... funny way to celebrate, trying to grab the coach's throat !

I never saw this, some amount of action in the games yesterday, attempted murder in one game.... attempted sendings off in other!!

I think 3 players were actually sent off in the end, not sure though. God only know's how many yellows were had, i got confused in the end.

Absolutely, i mean i know the players had similar names but thats why you write down there name and shirt number when you book them.

Amateur stuff from the man.

From what i saw of the game, Robinho was the difference up front. Ronaldo and Adriano did not work well together but Robinho is a zippy wee player who gets moving.

Some cracking goals in this game, although you gotta feel sorry for the Japanese keeper after the first half he had.

Quite happy that Australia got through, bit sorry for Dado but at least he's coming back injury free.

I couldnt believe the end of the game, Poll's name just dropped rapidly down the pecking order in names for the final.

Watched the Croatia Australia game, thought it would be better than the other one since Japan were pretty much out of it from the begining on GD.

Pretty good game, scrappy as hell towards the end though, and the commentators were begining to bug me.... not for the first time in this WC either.

They can have him and I'll throw in Bernard and Fanfan for free...

.....Sold!!

When did Butcher leave Motherwell? I really was in another planet when i was away last month!

Lol, he's away to Ozzie land managing. Ever hear of skysports.com?

I think the first 5 or 6 games are a decent start. Lets hope we hit the ground running.
