    The Brazilian protests were over public transport fare rises, nothing to do with the staging of the World Cup or FIFA. These gave rise to more general protests targeting the corruption within government and also the brutality of the police, both in how they dealt with protestors, but also their irresponsible tactics when taking on the criminal gangs within the favelas. The stoning of Adrian Chiles is unlikely to be related!

    Ok, Chuck.

    You were in the room!

    Mr X was shot everywhere but between the eyes.

    It obviously wasn't a non-existent penalty in his eyes. The defender put his hand on the top of Fred's arm/shoulder and the Brazilian very cleverly flung himself to the ground. I think it was a soft decision, but there was certainly enough there to fool the ref into giving it. How anyone can state that the whole tournament is bent based on one game, nay, one penalty award, is beyond me.

    Let's be honest here, they give him a 100% bonus to ensure that he stays on message and keeps his mouth shut. For those reasons, he deserves every penny of it.

    All referees can make blunders and err under pressure in the same way as players do, just less often. The ref last night wasn't great, but the penalty apart, neither team benefitted. I can think of three howlers off the top of my head that were by officials from major footballing nations. Howard Webb in the 2010 final not giving de Jong a red for his Cantona tackle. The disallowed Lampard goal in the same year was from a Uruguayan unit. Graham Poll failing to send a Croatian off until he gave him his third yellow.

    There will be many who have renewed even though they don't back the board, although their actions have, indirectly, helped to ease the pressure on them.

    The weight of expectation on the shoulders of that Brazil team was massive. When an early own is added to that, they did extremely well to come back to win as they did. That will have settled the nerves for the remainder of the group games.

    The board are mocking the support and saying "We now have enough to be getting on with and we reckon that you will return either by way of a ST, or on a game by game basis." This statement buys them some time and nowt else.

    Soft penalty, but when a defender puts his hands on an opponent, it presents an opportunity to go down easily and runs the risk of the ref buying it. Yellow was the correct card for Neymar. Caught him, but no swinging elbow. Olic jumped in to the goalkeeper. Could have gone either way.

    He won't be involved......

    Peaceful protests with bricks and petrol bombs? All those protesting against the World Cup will be glued to a television tonight cheering on 'Canarinha'. Afterwards......

    No guessing who he learned that trick from.

    Spot on! A return to the top league with that lot in charge will see them really start to plunder the takings.
  16. Rangersitis
    What even the 'ffs'?
  17. Rangersitis
    Fair enough points.

    Love it! As excited for this as I was for my earliest WC memory, the 1974 finals in Germany. Brazil 3-0 or 3-1.

    Green Spotted At Ibrox!

    Just my take on it. It was after a ST holder had gone to the police with claims that Wallace and the board had lied at the AGM and later about ST sales.
  21. Rangersitis
    Not disagreeing with you, but what would you like to hear from him?
  22. Rangersitis
    That was nothing more than tit-for-tat.
  23. Rangersitis
    I don't believe that would stop him having his say(through his lawyer, of course).
  24. Rangersitis
    I agree that a lack of information is what causes confusion, but I just don't see what he can add at this particular time as the board are saying absolutely nothing. They are playing a blinder on that front. He could come out and repeat his previous attacks but they will just be rebuffed once more with a terse statement and that may even be perceived by the support that he has nothing more to add. I would expect him to fire away whenever there is an official statement released.
  25. Rangersitis
    To be fair to King, there is little point in him making additional statements until something tangible comes out of Ibrox with regard to ST sales and/or new investment. If anything he was saying too much at one point. The SoS/UoF are there to keep the pressure on when press speculation/rumours are doing the rounds and they are doing a decent job.
