So, the 49ers fans hate the owners? How do the Yanks maximise profits and value?

You're right: the driver of everything is a successful team on the field of play.

What have they done at LUFC? Has it all been bad, cynical, and exploitative? Has any of it?

It defies explanation.

Neither do those who attach themselves to modish 'causes', merely on, it seems, the grounds of their trendiness - 'woke advocates' as you style them. Is that kind of thing not more your cup of chai?

Rangers blunder ref banned by own FA for penalty errors 4 hrs ago Rangers FC Europa League Rangers Gossip By Mark Walker Rangers blunder ref banned by own FA for penalty errors | Rangers Review Bosnian ref Irfan Peljto was handed a six-match ban by his own FA earlier this season for three mistakes in one game. And two of his errors involved his failure to award clear penalties. Rangers boss Barry Ferguson was fuming after his side were denied what he insisted were two clear penalties in their 2-0 quarter finals defeat in Spain to Athletic Bilbao. The Ibrox club were unhappy that Peljto or his VAR team didn't give spot kicks after Cyriel Dessers had his shirt pulled in the penalty box by Yeray Alvarez and they claimed there was an Athletic handball in the box after a Nico Raskin effort in the second half too. Peljto has history with Rangers after awarding Belgian club Union St Gilloise a penalty three years ago in a Champions League qualifier for a controversial handball against Connor Goldson. And he was also sidelined by his own Bosnian FA for an error-strewn disaster of a game in September this season. The 40-year-old, who has been a FIFA ref for ten years - was in the charge of a bitter derby between Zrinjski Mostar and Borac Banja. And in a scathing verdict, the Committee for Referees and Refereeing of the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina, confirmed that Peljto made three mistakes in the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw. According to their assessment, he failed to award a penalty for Borac and then missed a foul in the very next attack, which led to a goal for Zrinjski. His final cock-up came when he failed to award a penalty to Zrinjski Mostar, which should have been given. He was suspended for six games in the Bosnian league and the VAR officials for that game were all also handed six-game bans. The Bosnian FA statement explained: "In the 25th minute, the referee, although very well positioned and with a clear view of the incident, failed to recognise an obvious foul and award a penalty kick to FK Borac. "In the 26th minute, the referee, although well positioned, failed to award a direct free kick for the away team after a clear foul which led to a goal for the home team "In the 90th+5 minute, the referee failed to award a clear penalty kick for Zrinjski too."

He's not a Yank. However....... He is.

Women's rights are not important, then? Tricky to argue that, but I am sure you will be able to put the gals straight on these matters.

Lord Hodge stopped the Magic Roundabout yesterday morning.

And you have the xPen statistics to back this up, no doubt.

When you can barely trap the ball, are unable to pass the ball to a member f your side, and when your movement, at its best, is sluggish, then you are unlikely to win the match, irrespective of strategy, tactics, formation, etc. The paucity of basic skills, clear for 80% of the game, was, frankly, embarrassing.

The Final, of course is in Bilbao......So

If you say so.

Athletic Club 4/11 Rangers 17/2 Not much optimism, there, although Rangers has shortened from 9/1 this morning, with some bookies now offering 15/2. There is a very significant difference in odds, in a two horse race. We might suppose that this divergence reflects perceptions of Rangers' chances of winning over 90mins.

Carlo Ancelotti will be looking for a new billet, come the end of the season, or so it is rumoured. Just, em, sayin'....

The U-18 goalkeeper, apparently.

I wonder if the manager, who selected it, will say that, in the first half, that was not a Rangers' team out there? I assume that he will make changes, wholesale, as they say, and have a X, nearer the XI which lost to the Hibs, which itself, per the manager, was not a Rangers' side. I am confused.

It was wrong once, but it covered it up.

As long as the sheepshaggers don't figure it out

Is it 3-5-2? Or just chaos theory?

Inshallah.

Courier plug not do the......

Kelly. His penalty save, from a ridiculous award, and a couple of other stops, ensured the draw, which kept us in the tie, and which we would have accepted at 8pm last night.
