http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38828988 There's got to be a song in that for tonight. On another note, love the before and after shots of Stoke's hairline in that article, Lazarus would be proud:

The threshold for cause to award a yellow card would have to be upped massively, or it would be the death of the game. The average number of cards per match in Scotland is roughly 4, so that would be 4 10-minute spells of uneven teams over 90 minutes every game. The Sevco-Dons match in December had 11 cards (9 yellows, 2 reds) - that's 9 players off the pitch for 10 minutes at a time, not counting the reds (which admittedly were at the end).

Well that was anti-climactic. 50% disappointed, 50% relieved.

Blackburn have just realised Celtic are trying to sell them Efe Ambrose:

Daily Record really makes up some pish - apparently Tic "knocked back £40M bid for Dembele". Aye right.

Ah, the good old Daily Mail. £1million seems almost as derisory as £500k. I'd imagine the club would be valuing at around the £1.5-2million mark for a January window sale, particularly if Cardiff are insisting on making up the difference with addons.

That's Hearts folded then, 1-0 just became 3-0 to Celtic. Guess as usual it's up to us to halt this endless fecking chat of records again then.

Maybe he's playing full of confidence and settled, having decided to stay Either way, i'd rather having him play well than nae, even if it means him leaving at the end of the season (caveat - nae to Hearts).

Shankland has switched to Morton, and is up against Scott McKenna in about 5 minutes - Ayr v Morton live on Alba. Both starting in their respective sides. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/38782967

Surprised there doesn't seem to be an existing thread in this vein on this forum (apologies if there actually is and i've missed it), so thought i'd start one - always interesting to see how our young uns are doing elsewhere. CURRENT LOANS: FW Cammy Smith (on loan at St Mirren) - MOVED FROM DUNDEE UTD - END OF SEASON MF Craig Storie (on loan at St Mirren) - END OF SEASON FW Lawrence Shankland (on loan at Greenock Morton) - MOVED FROM ST MIRREN - END OF SEASON DF Scott McKenna (on loan at Ayr United) - EXTENDED TO END OF SEASON DF Daniel Harvie (on loan at Dumbarton) - EXTENDED TO END OF SEASON FW Connor McLennan (on loan at Brechin City) - ENDED GK Danny Rogers (on loan at Falkirk) - END OF SEASON GK Aaron Lennox (on loan at Raith Rovers) - INJURED - END OF SEASON MF Dylan Thomas (on loan at Montrose) - END OF SEASON FW Joe Nuttall (on loan at Stranraer) - ENDED GK Robbie Mutch (on loan at Arbroath) - ENDED Have i missed anyone? Left back Daniel Harvie just scored a 20-yard screamer for Dumbarton against Raith Rovers.

Sorry min, i only popped in at halftime

Dear SFA/SFPL, to save you money and whistles, i have created an artificial intelligence to replace Willie Collum. I have modelled it to follow his behavioural patterns as closely as possible and believe it to be a wholly accurate representation. To implement, please run the code below for the duration of the match on any mobile phone, Amstrad calculator or internet-enabled toaster and apply the output: START (match) { IF match=RUNNING THEN: { IF televised=YES THEN panic=YES IF WINNING=OPPOSITION THEN panic=YES IF depth=OUT THEN panic=YES IF panic=YES THEN redcard=YES IF redcard=YES THEN: { IF redcard=SEVCO OR redcard=CELTIC THEN panic=YES IF redcard>1 AND (previousredcard=SEVCO OR previousredcard=CELTIC) THEN redcard=OPPOSITION IF WINNING=OPPOSITION THEN redcard=OPPOSITION } } IF match=RUNNING THEN GOTO 1 } END (match)

The irony is already there: Trump's wall: Mexican construction firms likely to be biggest winners

I've just come in and seen the 2 red cards, and thought to maself "well, Collum is disgraced and down refereeing lower league games now so it can't be him" Guess i was wrong

Hemmin Niall, just sign the bloody thing - yer nae going anywhere, we winnae let you. edit - i've just realised how the title of this (old) thread may be construed, apologies to anyone i've just given a heart attack to

This was this match's choice tonight for me too

WHAT. A. GOAL. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Ach no, that was a quick pic nabbed from the BBC Food site for illustration. Mine looks much better

The concrete section of the Berlin Wall was approx. 65 miles long in total. 1962/65= 30.18 Therefore, Trump Wall = 30 Berlin Walls.

Red onions caramelised in coriander and balsamic vinegar, immense. Roast them in chunks in the oven for 30 minutes with fennel bulbs, ground coriander seeds, balsamic and some olive oil, caramelise some sugar in a frying pan, dump the onion/fennel in the sugar, chuck in a ton of grana padano or parmesan cheese, stuck some puff pastry on top, give it another 20 minutes in the oven, and it will turn into this: Tarte tatin, mitherfecker.

This, coupled with the fact that in the last few years the bar has been significantly raised for anyone looking to break into the first team. When we were shite and at the wrong end of the table, we could afford to blood lots of youth (and promptly lose the most promising to other clubs). Now we are consistently 2nd, the pressure on maintaining that position means youth players have to be up to a much higher level to take the risk on giving them game time in place of one of our regulars. The return of the reserve league would be a big step towards mitigating this. It's utterly beyond me why it went away in the first place.

I saw PMQ too, and whilst i am no fan of May, the pedant in me feels the need to point out that i can pass condolences to your friends and family for your lack of understanding of the definition of condolences, but that doesn't therefore mean that yer deid. The criticism only emerged because the DUP tried scoring points on it later on. Amazed that Corbyn didn't make more of the enormous u-turn May made over the white paper though.
