That is the tactic that brought about the Bosman ruling. If Rooney was unhappy and wanted to leave then even with several years on a contract he was going to go. Agents, and if necessary lawyers will find a way out of any contract Now if someone can find evidence of Rooney being 'pushed out' against his wishes then I will jump on the bandwagon of club bashing. This is hardly the Dodds/ Winters betrayal. Stevie May to find form and 21 (YES TWENTY FUCKING ONE) year old Cosgrove to show what he can do when he is finally given a real chance. Down South Rooney to start enjoing his football again Aberdeen fans to continue in their quest to be the most negative in the country if not europe.

Odds of that possibly cut today given he is effectively 4th choice at Anfield now....unless Karius is punted

Well Ian Wright really justified his ITV Salary there. When in doubt, make fun of the 'foreigner's' accent.....

For me it was over the moment Rashford was brought on. He just didn't look interested at all. Stat on ITV says 7 croatian shots to 1 English. Says it all really (presuming that is open play shots). Edit: Well this will make tomorrow's commute more entertaining. I have to assume the attention will now switch to 'England will win 2022'

The £340 profit could be seen as compensation for your disappointment If you can addord to lose £20 then surely there is no requirement to cheer them on if you don't want to?

What if they are playing Belgium? Surely yon Dutchies are concerned at the prospect of their 'smaller' neighbours doing what Cruyff & co couldn't? Potential rock & hardplace scenario for yourself

The same Cadden who those in englandshire are allegedly bidding £500k for against Motherwells £1mill valuation?

Have to say I am enjoying Belgium taking the Brazillians apart. Personally cannot stand the brazillian national team and especially don't like that they were classed as actual favourites for this tournament. Plenty of comments about how England haven't played anyone decent yet wheras it seems the brazillians have escaped that treatment They will now of course come back and win 3-2........

Been listening to a radio series called 'the corrupted' which is about a guy reminiscing about his life from childhood to the present while he serves 3 life sentences for a crime he didnt commit. The likes of King would seem to fit right in with the characters in that series

Dons 1-0 Falkirk (Ferguson)

For me Colombia are playing like the wanky little ned teams that I used to have to put up with at 5 aside every week. I cant stand these tactics and I find myself actually wanting the english to win or at least seriously put the boot into several of these colombian players.

Fucking NC500 Tourists!!

Don't worry mate. We locals always avoid Elgin purely because we have no desire to go there

Seems Spain got what they deserved......unless you want a conspiracy theory for their reluctance to seriously attack the Russians. Potential for only 1 previous winner to be in the semi-finals (If so I'd personally like it to be Uruguay) so may that be someone 'new' will win it.

Perhaps you could consider putting this into a formal letter/ email and send it to cockwomble and co?

Really hope the french win this one now. Whilst the Argentina equaliser was good I don't think it deserved as much of a commentator wankfest as it got. The French equaliser on the other hand was sweet (better or at least more spectcular IMO) yet seemed to have a fairly low key response from BBCs finest

Seems they are following the Ed Sheerin methodology of cancelling 're-sold' tickets should they happen to catch anyone with them. Ticket touts targetting a Dons game eh? I remember not so long ago seeing someone trying to give away tickets outside pittodrie and being told to fuck off

Think the last time I was 'involved' with anything classed as rowdy with the Glasgow reds was a scottish cup tie in Forfar

I dont think these stats make much headway in the 'why are scotland unable to qualify' discussion. If you could say find a list(s) showing where those players fitted into the various scotland teams from schoolboy up to the first team, or as Bobby highlighted, those who were allowed to continue playing despite never developing a 'first touch' we might be onto something

Kawashima showing the skills that helped the arabs achieve relegation

CONCACAF qualifying pot - 35 teams (3/4 qualifying spots) 29 of those teams go through 3 'qualifying rounds' to for 6 spots in the group stages which is when the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, Honduras & Panama entered Group stages wittled it down to 6 teams who then played for 3 automatic qualifying sports and 1 playoff places against the Asian playoff winners. Panama's group had Costa Rica, Haiti & Jamaica UEFA Qualifying pot - 54 teams (13 qualifying spots) No preliminary rounds Potential opponents from the start include Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, England, France, Portugal, Belgium etc If yer gonna compare teams who have qualified for the tournament with Scotland, using anyone other than the UEFA based teams is pointless. Croatia, Serbia, Iceland & Denmark spring to mind followed by Northern Ireland and Eire who made it to the playoffs

My question is does Christie have the correct attitude to handle what would be seen as a 'step down'? He seemed an excellent player 2 seasons back when it was seen as just a half season loan to get him some gametime and show what yon tic were missing. Once the loan was extended it seemed his heart wasn't in it as much.
