http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-32919400 Now that would be an interesting appointment.

Supposedly this is how ticket sales for Saturday's final stood as of yesterday Caley - Red Falkirk - Blue Neutral & sponsor sections - Yellow

took less time than i expected for the 'England to host next world cup' stories to emerge

1-0 Dnipro after 8 mins

I'm not I'm struggling to think of the last time someone who had real power in 'the west' was brought down. Blatter has worked at FIFA for about 40 years and having been in charge for nearly 17 years he will have had plenty of opportunities to make sure his ass is covered. 24hrs after he turns up his toes then the press will pounce but as with Saville it will be too late

Could have been the 'fix' was for them to lose by 6 goals or more? Or perhaps for a player to get sent off at a certain time?

Personally I thought it was very good. Fast & Furious 7 on the other hand........

4-3 Crystal Palace 3-0 3-1 4-1 4-3

£500k + Eudur Gudjohnsen?

4 goals against Groingen & Real Sociedad 3 against the Arabs & Hamilton

Missing out cup goals in those stats Rooney - 28 McGinn - 7 Pawlett - 7 Goodwillie - 6 Hayes - 4 Logan - 4 Jack - 3 Reynolds - 3 Taylor - 3 Smith - 2 Considine - 2 Daniels - 1 Low - 1

Celtic - 7 points worse off. 18 fewer goals scored.8 fewer goals conceded Dons - 7 points better off. 4 more goals scored. 5 fewer goals conceded Caley Thistle - 8 points better off. 8 more goals scored. 2 fewer goals conceded St Johnstone - 4 points better off. 14 fewer goals scored. 8 fewer goals conceded Arabs - 2 points worse off. 7 fewer goals scored. 6 more goals conceded Dundee Hamilton Partick - 8 points better off. 2 more goals scored. 21 fewer goals conceded Ross County - 4 points better off. 2 more goals scored. 1 more goal conceded Kilmarnock - 2 points better off. 1 less goal scored. 7 more goals conceded Motherwell - 34 points worse off. 26 fewer goals scored. 3 more goals conceded St Mirren - 9 points worse off. 9 fewer goals scored. 8 more goals conceded Partick's defence coach deserves a bit of credit. Last season they had the joint 2nd worst defence in the league. This season they were the 5th best. As for Motherwell........

And Dandy takes the title 78 - Tyrant 76 - hebrew 75 - Dandy

Whilst it is irritating to be losing it was nice to hear the united fans suddenly lose their singing voices on BT Sport.

I see hibs are playing tit for tat in terms of away support allocations However disappointing that they cannot even sell out their standard home allocation. Hibs really are shocking. Seem to be more concerned with stopping rangers scoring than making up the 2 goal deficit. Over to you Motherwell

As I recall there were rumours that Leighton preferred Esson to Preece back in the day although my personal preference was for the latter. However Esson is still playing at SPL level while Preece went back down to the lower leagues after he left the club. What you take of that is up to you? Being a great goalkeeper doesn't automatically make you great at scouting others or indeed being able to coach them. Either way I have a soft spot for Leighton and I think it is unfortunate some of the comments I've seen flying around about him on various message boards since the club made the announcement. I've even seen someone labeling him an average goalkeeper who was carried by his defenders throughout his career?! Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

well the tax dodger who helped wipe them out the first time has been declared 'fit & proper' http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32691123 Over to you Mr Ashley

See Caley Thistle players used their semi final win bonus to finance free coach travel and free under 14 tickets for the final. 24 coaches provided of which 18 are now sold out with 5 of the remaining almost sold out. ticket sales currently sitting about 26000 (not including neutrals) - About 15000 Falkirk, 11000 Caley Neutral section also down nearing sell out http://www.scottishfa.talent-sport.co.uk/PagesPublic/ProductBrowse/productHome.aspx?ProductSubType=CUP

1) Somebody new in the final 2) Soft spot for Ukranian teams further enhanced by the whole mess their country is currently in 3) As far as I'm aware Dnipro have never been convicted of MATCH FIXING unlike the two italian clubs who got stuffed tonight.

Heading for a Dnipro vs Sevilla final at the moment

Believe I saw on MAD that the letter gave them 10 days to respond. Letter was sent on 29th April so the 10days expired either on 9th or 13th depending on if it was 'working' days.

Presume the SPFL PR team will be Ian Black, Steven Lawless and Steven Simonsen.

Beginning again? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32717309

Swindon town 5-5 Sheffield United (7-6 aggregate) 6 mins of injury time to go Appears half the blades fans left when they went 3-0 down after 20mins

As I understand it they are potentially on the brink of being kicked down to the Vauxhall conference They did a chelsea/ man city etc to get back to the premiership and lost the best part of 65million in the process and under the new FFP rules they are facing a fine of £58million. If they dont pay it the football league can apparently refuse them entry in the championship, league one & League 2. They have of course now got their lawyers involved (wouldnt be a rangers if they didnt)
