what
Fail to qualify from our group but get let in when another country descends into civil war and then win the tournament when its being hosted by Sweden?
You cant have 2 stadiums in the same city let alone next door to each other (Ninian and Millenium stadium)

Supposedly we need to put forward 10 stadiums to declare a bid but all 3 nations have the same problem. Too many stadiums in the same city and pretty poor transport infrastructure.
Id see the current choices as
Murrayfield
Hampden
Millenium Stadium
Aviva Stadium
Expanded White rock stadium
5 others from where though?
New Stadiums in Dundee & Aberdeen?
New Stadiums in Wrexham & Aberystwyth?
New Stadiums in Cork, Limerick & Galway ?
I know of a building & grounds in a decent area perfect for residential or a hotel which 4 years ago would have been valued at close to 2.5million but now the owners have been told £200,000 and there is still no one wanting to buy it.
Ibrox is certainly not a 'good' area in the eyes of a developer so the only residential possibility would be social housing (Currenlty fucked by Government cuts). It is surrounded by empty commercial units so that rules out another business park. Retail or leisure park would be a non starter.
Basically the only uses for that land at the moment are a football stadium or a supermarket. Sainsburys and waitrose wont touch it, There is already an Asda round the corner and morrisons & tesco are apparenlty 'in trouble'.
Essentially the land is almost worthless in the current financial climate so 8million could be more than enough.
Have to look at the quality of the penalty kicks and I put Theo's save as one of the greatest Penalties saves of all time.
These days either the goalkeepers have dramatically improved or the top players cant handle the pressure mounted on them to score from 12 yards. Its almost a special skill
It could be down to the excessive coverage of the game but I seem to recall a penalty being saved or missed as being almost headline news. Now it seems to be a regular occurrence
50million would build the original art centre/ cafe design and leave 35million in change for some decent landscaping, lighting, perhaps a new bridge or 2 to Belmont street, and maybe even chuck whats left over at the Castlegate
Same Masochistic tendency that still sees me occasionally turn up at Dons games. Raised in Kennedy land.
I point blank refuse to ever vote for the Tories, Labour, or UKIP.
The socialists contradicted themselves in their manifesto
The christian party pledged to breed hate
The union party pledges didnt add up for me
No idea what 'Glasgow First' were going to do but I suspect it was to prioritise the city at the expense of the country as a whole so no deal.
Danny Alexander is extremely unpopular up north (almost loathed if you speak to certain folk). If the seats merge then Kennedy is off and the SNP will walk into the Highlands at the next general election
yep it would appear 3 of the people i stuck down on the ballot got a seat.
Should have twigged that 'scotland for marriage' was in fact 'the christian party'
The deathnail of the lib dems in scotland will be if Charles kennedy retires from 'Ross, Skye & Lochaber' and heads to the house of lords.
Without him they will automatically lose the Highlands at the next General Election which could mean they go 4th behind the tories
