Did you ask them if they felt UEFA fining their club for the antics was justified? If I was Celtics board id be tempted to send a bill to the green brigade for the UEFA Fine. Or perhaps the divide and conquer - 'Dear fans, as a result of the antics of the green brigade we will have to raise the ticket prices again and wont be signing anyone for a while'

It is only compliant because it is an existing situation. As soon as you demolish one of those stands all the current regulations regarding emergency evacuation, access for emergency & service vehicles, disabled access gathering areas for up to 1000 people so they arent queuing on public roads, structural design, leg room, toilet & catering facilities etc will kick in for whatever is built in its place. Speak to Blootoon red at what is involved for a football stadium. If you live in an old house and you want to make some changes to the layout then everything you do will have to comply with the current building regulations. What you don't touch can remain the same but that new extension will need to be energy efficient, have doors of a certain width, windows of a certain design and size, any bathrooms or kitchens will need to comply with the accessibility regulations.

South Stand holds almost 9000 fans. RDS holds 6100. You cant just close 42% of your stadium and say 'problem solved' Main stand would follow fairly soon after losing another 3400 and the merkland isnt in great nick either (all 3 built on foundations not ideally suited for sandy soil) You close one and the domino effect will start as you have set a precident And Tyrant it is possible but the rebuilt stadium complying with all the current regulations would have a capacity of about 12000-14000 with no room for future expansion. I personally dont see a problem with a smaller stadium given out average crowd is borderline 10000 but the Club and so many others would see it as a step back

Should have just said 'oh well my family is italian. My great great great great great grandad's mate once met an italian girl in Butlins so that makes me Italian'

St Johnston just getting 2/3 of the roseburn and the main stand then.

Sportsound claiming the SPL are 'thinking' of chasing them for £250k over the old EBT malarky. Apparently they hired some boy who used to be CEO at man City this morning

Erm?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/3953843.stm

Is anyone else bemused at Strachan allegedly saying he wants more hard work form the squad on the same day he called up Kris Boyd?

it will be interesting to find out the Justification for playing it at Easter Road? They can't claim it was agreed at the start of the tournament They cant claim it is the biggest Non-Glasgow stadium They Cant claim its equal distance for both sets of supporters They cant claim its easier to segregate fans (South Stand OF Allocation + RDS vs South Stand, Merkland & Main) They cant claim its easier for public transport for all fans

Was the cheer tinged with irony? Wonder if he'd get the same reaction in a competitive game or at a game outside of Glasgow?

Well i hope celtics lawyers just say 'fuck ya, lets go to court'

According to the sun the cops have been 'grilling' Mccoist about the Craig Whyte takeover

Lee fucking Wallace? Also still bemused by the inclusion of Scott Fox over the likes of Jamie MacDonald or Jamie Langfield

Presume this was SPLs way of saying St Johnstone wont manage 10000 fans for a big cup game on a Saturday Main Stand - 5,102 Wheatfield Stand - 5,902 Roseburn Stand - 3,396 Gorgie Stand - 3,020 Presume it will be as per the 2008 semi against the arabs St Johnstone - Main Stand + Roseburn (8498) Dons - Wheatfield & Gorgie (8922) (presume they will remove a few hundred seats for segregation in the corners between the fans.

Those of us who only have stv can look forward to multiple repeats of 'The Steamie' on Tuesday nights

Went to see Thor 2 Havent seen the first one but found it reeeeeally slow. Also it seems Hollywood has given up being subtle when it comes to setting up sequels.

ooooooooooor Big fucker softens up the defenders who are knackered trying to keep a hold of him Bring on smaller faster subs who take full advantage Last 5 games Ross County - Defeat (Zola didnt play) Arabs, Motherwell, Hibs, Partick - Win (Zola plays in all and scores 2 of the 9 goals) What does that show? Is Zola the key to our success or did the players get their act together? or alternatively its just statistics It is so typical of the Aberdeen support (and scottish football support in general) that when a team is winning a certain element need to find a negative and pick on it.

Personally think the best course of action is to keep quiet about it on the terraces. I suspect singing anything about Ricksen or holding up any wellwishing banners and the press will take it as 'Sick fans mock rangers legend with sarcastic chants and messages

20421 capacity West Stand 6,407 East Stand 6,242 (New one) Famous Five Stand 3,829 South Stand 3,943 (Traditional away end) Logical split would be be - East Stand + South Stand (10185) vs West Stand & Famous Five Stand (10,236) Despite the lower capacity id prefer south stand and east stand......although having seen the dates I probably wont be able to go
