Sorry Frankie I have been sleeping on the Job with the preview with all the Podcast activity. We could of course just do a quick 20 min Podcast for the preview. We would certainly not be short of people wanting to take part. I will do one for the Wigan game on Sunday which can also blend with the game tonight. -
'Clueless' radio host: Rangers is not a massive club worldwide - there's no other team but Celtic in Scotland By Martin Williams @Martin1Williams Andy Goldstein (left) and Darren Lewis (top right) TALKSPORT host Andy Goldstein is expected to generate debate on his late night show. 31 comments But when he entered into a discussion about the merits of Scottish football, the relative pressures on clubs north of the border with their English counterparts and where Rangers sit in world football, he probably did not reckon on the backlash he would get. READ MORE: Dave King denies being in contempt of court in failure to make share offer over 'forced Rangers takeover' Even his guest on the Sports Bar programme, journalist Darren Lewis, at one point refused to contribute as the two argued for over an hour over the merits of Scottish football and how the debate was being conducted. During a often bad-tempered argument, Goldstein said Rangers "are not a massive club outside of Scotland" adding: "You know that, and I know that". The former Soccer AM presenter argued that English Championship club Aston Villa was a bigger club than the Ibrox side, saying more people had heard of the Birmingham-based team worldwide. He said there was no pressure on Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers in an "uncompetitive" Scottish Premiership telling one caller: "I could to that job. You could do that job." He added: "There's no other team in Scotland at the moment." READ MORE: Dave King blames old Mike Ashley-allied Rangers board and rival fans in outburst over court actions And he claimed there was "no pressure" on Steven Gerrard taking over at Rangers, before changing his position to say there was less pressure on him than on managers chasing the financial rewards of a promotion to the English Premier League by getting promotion from the Championship. The backlash started with Lewis who said at one point: "This is not a debate. It's ridiculous." One Rangers fan caller, James Goldstein told Goldstein: "I was all right till a few minutes ago. You are absolutely clueless, my friend." Another fan told him: "I used to think you talked a lot of sense until tonight, when you compare Aston Villa to Rangers and saying Rangers aren't a big club outside Scotland. That is what you said. Rangers and Celtic are two of the biggest clubs in Britain, support wise. "You are comparing us to Aston Villa, you're having a laugh." On social media some fans were expressed their despair at the level of debate. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/16379550.andy-goldstein-rangers-is-not-a-massive-club-worldwide-theres-no-other-team-but-celtic-in-scotland/

Where I lived only had a Canal. It is world famous for Carp fishing right enough. Morrocans are too busy stealing to learn to skate. -

Yes I am ashamed. Only because there are no NCIS or other American police series on that she choose to nag for a while. -

I don't or have never lived in coastal area's so i have never had that. I have had temperatures of -25 degrees but not in the last 30 years. Holland is happy in the winter when people can ice-skate. Black ice is sometimes a big problem on the roads if it rains onto frozen roads it becomes treacherous. My wife tells me that years ago they used to ice-skate to school over the roads. I have never witnessed that although I have had some cagey moments with ice on the road but the Dutch are excellent at salting the roads in the night so the morning traffic normally runs okay. -
