  1. Wouldn't be adverse to us making a move for him, but some how doubt it'll happen. Heard his interview on STV last night and sounded ot me as if he was Chumpionship bound at end of the season. don't know how big an attraction to work with McInnes would be though

    Self Abuse

    Aye, that caught your eye didn't it If it was about wanking it would hardly be in the Football Chat section. England fans appear to have managed (allegedly) to take racial abuse to a new level by abusing their own players. ============================================== England fans reported for 'racist abuse' of Ferdinand brothers Football anti-racism network Fare has filed a complaint to Fifa over alleged racist chanting by England fans during the 8-0 win over San Marino. The chanting was said to be directed towards Rio Ferdinand, who pulled out of the England squad, and his brother Anton Ferdinand. Fare executive director Piara Power said: "I personally think there was an undercurrent of race there. "Other people have thought that it has been imbued with racist overtones." The Football Association said it would not comment while it was awaiting notification from Fare about its report to the sport's world governing body. Power added: "Although we did not have observers at the match we have pulled together evidence sent to us including media comment and have passed that on to Fifa. "Whether Fifa think that is strong enough to take action is another question entirely and we accept that it is certainly an unusual report." The network, Football Against Racism in Europe, is a group of organisations from several European countries which has worked with Fifa and European governing body Uefa to eradicate discrimination in football. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was called up into the England squad for the first time since 2011, but then withdrew stating that he had a "pre-planned programme". It was then reported that the 34-year-old would be travelling to Qatar to work as a television pundit covering the game in San Marino. England went on to thrash the minnows in Serraville, before travelling to Montenegro, where they were held to a 1-1 draw by the Group H leaders. England coach Roy Hodgson said after the first qualifier that he had heard the abuse, adding: "I'm not deaf. But I've absolutely no comment to make on it." Meanwhile, Uefa has again encouraged referees to halt matches if officials are aware of any racism. The executive committee said it "recommends and fully supports referees to stop matches in cases of racism and calls on national associations and leagues to do the same" in a resolution drawn up by the Professional Football Strategy Council (PFSC) and ratified on Thursday. Uefa also called "on the players and coaches - namely those with most influence on the perpetrators of racist acts - to speak out, even if this may mean criticising their own fans or players."
  4. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/man-jumps-1-63m-standing-start-172902936.html Fucking hell
  5. Agree with all you say, apart from the Tattie Muncher part......if a league organisation is fucking corrupt stupid enough to allow club's to cancel a game in favour of a friendly after the season has started then surely all clubs should be thinking opportunity for a quick buck, therefore if ourselves and the other ten in the SPL are too fucking stupid to take advantage then hell mend us. Doesn't make it right, but there to be exploited by all.

    Tax

    Who hasn't played the game in the departure lounge of looking around and picking out the fatties you hope aren't sat either behind you, in front of you or God forbid next to you

    Tax

    Slighty off at a tangent, but the common word is tax.......absolutely in favour of this, make the fat bastards stump up This week an academic in Norway proposed a “pay as you weigh” scheme that would see airlines charging overweight fliers more to help recoup the cost of the extra fuel required to carry them. In the Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management, Bharat P Bhatta suggested three methods: a straightforward price per kilogram; a fixed low fare, with heavier passengers paying a surcharge and lighter passengers being offered a discount; or the introduction of three bands – heavy, normal and light, with passengers charged accordingly. His suggestions received the backing of 48 per cent of those questioned in a poll by the website Holiday Extras. The plans received slightly more support among men, with 51 per cent in favour, compared to 43 per cent of women. “Sitting next to a large person on a plane can sometimes reduce the space that you have to relax,” said James Lewis of Holiday Extras. “If we have to pay extra for excess baggage, maybe we should pay extra for excess body weight.” The problem of passenger obesity has become an increasingly pertinent issue for airlines in recent years. Adult obesity rates in the UK have almost quadrupled in the last quarter of a century, with around 22 per cent of Britons now considered obese. That compares to around 14 per cent of the European Union’s adult population, and more than 32 per cent of Americans. “I think the simplest way to implement this would be for passengers to declare their weight when buying a plane ticket,” Dr Bhatta of Fjordane University College told The Daily Telegraph. “This would save time and eliminate expense. At the airport airlines could randomly select passengers and if they lied about their weight they would have to pay the fat fare and a penalty.” Ian Yeoman, the editor of the Journal, endorsed Dr Bhatta’s proposal. "For airlines, every extra kilogram means more expensive jet fuel must be burned, which leads to CO2 emissions and financial cost," he said. "As the airline industry is fraught with financial difficulties, marginally profitable and has seen exponential growth in the last decade, maybe they should be looking to introduce scales at the check-in."
