After watching the guys team get nowhere for decades it's nice to see a tiny bit of success for any team from Scotland tbh

It's nice to hear that it's catching the imagination of girls.
At what age do they stop having mixed groups?
Not sure about the ages but I coach 8/9 year olds for a school team and it's mixed. Not sure how it works elsewhere tbh

It's football. very few countries don't have their football hooligans. Holland, Germany, Italy, Poland, etc etc etc.
Agreed. I still don't understand it though. Just feel sorry for the England lads that will be tarred with the same brush

I know Women's football is not to everyone tastes but I must admit I'm quite excited about the forthcoming World Cup in France. It'll be interesting to see how Scotland do in their first World Cup tournie. They played England at the Euros in 2017 and lost 6-0 but back then they had 3/4 key players out with injury. Hopefully they can run them a bit closer this time.
I do a bit of coaching with mixed groups and all the girls are buzzing about the forthcoming World Cup which is nice to see. Good luck Scotland!

Throwing plastic chairs is de rigueur in many holiday resorts.
I blame The Football Factory, Sergio Tacchini and Shadwell Utd FC.
I just don't get it. I would kill for a few days of football watching, a few beers and some nice grub in lovely city like Porto. I have an English mate who used to follow England a lot and then he got up in all the nonsense in France at the Euros (Nice I think?) and he's done with it. Football tournies like this should be celebration not an excuse to vocalise some warped and ignorant display of English identity. It's baffling

I was just reading about this earlier (missed the game last night). What goes through these morons heads? Not much obviously. I genuinely feel sorry for the real England fans that just want to follow their team without having to be caught up with these idiots. I thought after Russia, things may have changed but it seems that these muppets just didn't find the means to get there.
Behaving like this on the 5th June as well. They should be bloody embarrassed and banned from travelling for life

Oxford at Ibrox? Seems a strange one tbh

Flanagan may be a RB and may defend better than Tav - but we will lose a lot of our attacking threat if we lose Tav - completely different players.
Polster - completely unproven
I agree but it's about balancing out what we have and what we need to get the next level. Tav would be a loss but if it means we can hopefully improve other areas of the team, that loss would be worth it IMO.

Polster is an unknown and Flanagan has nowhere near the footballing ability Tav has.
Maybe but €10 million could potentially give us a chance of getting a decent number 10 or creative midfielder. Tav would be a miss but some decent acquisitions in those areas would make the difference IMO.

Tav for 10 mill would be good business, but he would be very tough to replace
Have you seen the videos of Polster? He looks very dynamic and likes to get forward. We also have Flanagan, who is actually a RB (I think?)

Aston Villa has just won the "£180 Million" game.
Any negotiation with it over players has to be seen in that light.
Still don't think that means they will spend money wrecklessly. They have to be sensible as they are probably part of a group of 4/5 teams for the drop.
Tav costs us £200,000? If we could get £10 million it would be a great return. If we sell Tave and Alfie for a combined £25 million (approx.), that would give us funds for a striker, creative midfielder and maybe another CB and would leave us with money in the bank. That's good business IMO.
I've said it before but Defoe signed an 18 month contract for a reason and we drafted in Polster (dynamic right sided player who can play RB or midfield) to cover the possibility of our 2 most sellable assets leaving the club.

Much higher.
Mmm...not sure Rousseau. If we can anywhere near 9/10 million for Tav, I would take it in a heart beat.

Nonsense.
Higher or lower?

If the fee is similar to Huttons many moons ago then take it. This is why Polster was drafted in IMO. We also have Flanagan who could at RB.

In the beginning the strip changed quite a bit plain white , we had hoops then we settled into what is accepted as our traditional colours were now 147 years down the line surely it's time for change me personally I would bin the socks maybe even adopt an almost all blue first team kit sure its good to reminisce look back at glory years but I prefer to look to the future look around you at the next home game and look at the very young fans the future fans they have never seen a title or a cup win ,its time for an all round change out with the old and in with the new
Without our black and red socks were are just another team wearing blue with white shorts

On players who improved... Filip Sebo arrived as a truly woeful player and ended up as just garbage. Does that count?

Let's face it, we could count the number of good CL finals in one hand. They are generally very underwhelming. I thought Liverpool showed how much they have progressed last night. It was less heavy metal football, more very good game management IMO. Finals are all about who picks up the trophy at the end of the game.
Just a wee quiz question after last night...
What do all Liverpool's Champions Cup/League wins have in common?
1977 - Borussia Monchengladbach
1978 - Club Brugge
1981 - Real Madrid
1984 - AS Roma
2005 - Milan
2019 - Tottenham Hotspur

It's just Rangers. RFC - Rangers Football Club.
Grown men really shouldn't wear football shirts unless they're actually playing football, in my opinion. Old, pre sponsored shirts, get you off.
Agree Gonzo. It's Rangers. There is no prefix. Stuff like this annoys me. It's up there with us not wearing our black and red socks or us wearing blue shorts (wtf). While I'm at it, there should never be red in our home shirt. Should always be just be blue with white detailing. Red was first introduced into our home shirt in 1978-79 after over 100 years without it being used

It looked like the temperature and a 3 week break put paid to high intensity game.

After what's happened in previous rounds everyone (including me for a while) seems to think Spurs name is on the cup. If Liverpool click, I can genuinely see them battering Spurs tbh. (Much like Chelsea did to Arsenal in the Europa final). Those Liverpool players will really want to make up for last season IMO.
I want Liverpool to win mainly for Klopp. He seems a decent guy and it would be criminal for him and his brand if football not to win big honours.

"No chance" Newcastle paying that "fatman" would be unlikely to sanction with ongoing battle with King.
Is Ashley not on the verge of selling to wealthy foreign investors? (Cousins of Man City owners?)

The story I heard was that in the 1967 Wembley game, Law was screaming to get the ball up to him as he wanted to crush England with lots of goals. Baxter had other plans. His way of crushing the opposition was to showboat and humiliate them that way. Baxter would also wind up Alan Ball by asking him is he was jimmy Clitheroe's dad.
I heard that Law wanted to hammer them to get his revenge for the 9-3 game in 1961
