That is what I hoped as well.

Oh come on Rousseau you will have to step up. The best two stallions in the stable and you forgot us. I'm shocked!

He says what he thinks you have to give him that. Not always handy though, sometimes silence says more. I don't remember seeing him playing to be honest but my opinion of Brown is not that high. What a pity we were out the league in his years as we would have been up about 57 by now.

You missed me out Rousseau. I was a late entry but added about 15 mins before kick-off. I had the wrong score anyway.

BILLIONAIRE Mike Ashley is facing a £250,000 legal bill – after losing his court fight over a £1000 football fine. The Newcastle United owner yesterday lost a battle to reverse the SFA’s *decision to fine him for breaching dual ownership rules after he took a stake in Rangers. The SFA are certain to demand that the Sports Direct owner covers their legal fees for the court fight. Judges will rule later on whether to hit him with the legal bill, which is understood to be £250,000. A court source said: “It is likely that Ashley will be forced to pay the entire bill for the case – including the SFA’s bill, as well as his own. “The SFA’s costs will be well over £100,000 and his own bill will be much the same. He’ll be looking at a quarter of a million, at least. “That judgment will come at a later date but lawyers don’t come cheap. “He might wish he’d just paid the original fine but then £100,000 is chicken feed to Ashley.” It has been a bad week for Ashley, who came under fire at a Westminster committee on Tuesday for “Victorian” working practices at Sports Direct. Last night, SFA bosses welcomed the court victory. A spokesman said: “We are pleased at the decision and we were always confident of a positive outcome.” It is being seen as a major victory for SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan, who brought the charge against Ashley. The dispute broke out after he took an 8.92 per cent shareholding stake in Rangers in October 2014 via MASH Holdings, who are wholly owned by Ashley. The club entered a credit facility with MASH and Ashley’s right-hand men Derek Llambias and Barry Leach were appointed *directors of the club as a result. The SFA concluded Ashley broke their rules about how an individual should not be involved with two football clubs at the same time and handed the world’s 318th richest man a £7500 fine. That sum was reduced to just £1000 after Ashley’s lawyers appealed but he refused to pay and tried to have the fine booted out in a judicial review at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The tycoon claimed the SFA hadn’t applied the principles of “natural justice” when dealing with him. Advocate Craig Sandison QC claimed it was MASH *Holdings who controlled the Rangers shares and claimed there was a legal difference between them and Ashley. But in yesterday’s written judgment, Lord Brodie dismissed his case, saying: “I shall uphold the second plea in law for the respondent.” It’s the latest in a series of aggressive moves from Ashley as part of his feud with new Rangers chairman Dave King, who toppled the previous board.

I don't know anything about International football either but decided just to go along just for the hell of it.

Sorry never seen it due to the title being different and I hadn't read all the threads. Just finished unloading 76 square meters of paving stones with the hand from a trailer so I was glance reading between breaks. It has now been moved I see.

Rangers fans top table for charges brought under controversial laws targeting football supporters DETAILED figures released today show a dramatic increase in the number of football fans charged under the SNP's Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. Rangers fans come out the worst, accounting for 25 per cent of the total charges brought under the legislation, although that figure doesn't take account of their massive fan base. It's also a fall from previous years. In the 2014/15 figures the proportion of the total charges connected to Rangers fans was 30 per cent. Ibrox was also the football stadium with the highest proportion of charges brought, with 17 per cent of the total alleged offences taking place there. Morton’s Cappielow Park was the second highest, with 8 per cent Nine per cent of the charges brought under the act in 2015/16 related to Celtic fans, with Hearts and Kilmarnock fans also making up 9 per cent of the rap sheet. Ibrox was the ground with the highest proportion of charges Some 22 per cent of the offensive behaviour was based on religion. Within that subset, 87 per cent of the charges related to religious hatred against Catholics. A total of 73 of the 181 charges related to abusive singing, with 2015/16 being the first year that no fans in Scotland were charged for an offensive banner. Edinburgh and Glasgow are the areas with the highest proportion of charges per 100,000 people, although those are the areas that draw the largest crowds. Half of the total charges occurred at a football stadium, an increase of 4 per cent on last year. There was a massive increase in charges taking place on public transport – 23 per cent of charges compared to just 5 per cent last year. The age group of the accused also show that those between 16-20 are most likely to be charged, with 42 per cent of charges relating to that age group. The match between Hearts and Kilmarnock in October of last year was the game with the highest amount offences, with 20 fans charged. Reacting to the figures, Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "The recent appalling scenes at the Scottish Cup final demonstrated that the unacceptable behaviour of a minority of football fans continues to be a problem. "An increase in the number of charges under the Offensive Behaviour Act shows that the legislation continues to be an important tool in tackling all forms of offensive behaviour, including sectarianism, and sends a clear message that such behaviour has no place in a modern, open and inclusive society. "I have asked Scottish football to take further steps to address this long-standing issue and I expect to see progress on this imminently." But Tory Justice spokesman Douglas Ross said: "“From the SNP’s perspective, this is a brilliant law whether the number of charges is high or low. “But the truth is it’s unpopular with fans and has been criticised by the courts. “When the number of charges went down it celebrated the legislation and now, after a 50 per cent hike, it still seems to think the law’s working a treat. “It’s bad and unnecessary legislation and it needs to be scrapped now.” Read more at http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/rangers-fans-top-table-charges-8155126#uSTXLRVE7viIrVsD.99

Not really sure where you got that. He did nothing in the time he was with us and we were in the lower leagues.

I don't forget. I remember how good he was;)

I disagree. Kranjcar only wants to support his wife in her work. Lennon supposedly wants to slit his girlfriends throat. Who has the biggest profile.

Totally agree he's out to get clicks. Don't be tempted by verbal diarrhoea.

The Ajax philosophy from the 70's.

Do you mean tongue kissing.

I obviously knew Alan Rough played for Celtic but had never heard of Martin\McGuire. I thought with his guests and the drooling over Celtic performances of the past that he probably was on that side of the fence. I will give it a miss in the future.

I have tuned into this a few days over the last few weeks but it seems to be very Celtic orientated. Am I right on this or just unlucky on the days I have tuned in?

Does Susan Boyle get to be a plastic hun When she is at the airport?

Even the worst armies sometimes win a battle.

I am going to start a petition to Nicola Strurgeon getting Craig banned from Bermuda so as he can't bum about these hot day's on the beach when our short and curlies are freezing off.

I am sure some of our greats of old cost a lot less. If you are only considering 100.000 then you are right.

Your hat is not heavy enough.
