  6. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/8039270.stm Scotland will have a sixth team in Europe next season, with Uefa confirming that a Fair Play berth will go to a Scottish Premier League side. Motherwell currently enjoy the best disciplinary record of the sides not already assured of a European place. Norway, Denmark and Scotland will all get an extra place in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. The opening round of the revamped tournament, formerly the Uefa Cup, is due to commence in early June. Fair Play League rankings are based on a points system correlating to the number of red and yellow cards administered to each club and national side over a 12-month period. Motherwell have just four matches of the season remaining, with St Mirren and Hibernian their nearest challengers for the extra place. Celtic and Rangers have claimed the Champions League places, while Scottish Cup finalists Falkirk will compete in the Europa League, along with the teams finishing third and fourth in the SPL. Hearts and Dundee United are strong favourites to land those remaining spots, although Aberdeen and Hibs can still catch them. ----------------------------------------------------- Thought we were in the running for this as well, although I guess Kerr calling the ref names last night hasn't done much to help our cause.
  7. Was it 2-1
  8. Jamie Smith injured again Probably played his last game for us I think
  9. It has been reported that internet death threats had been made against the Norwegian official and that he had been "smuggled out of the country" under police escort and advised to change hotels. "Following media reports claiming threats have been made against the referee of last night's game, Chelsea Football Club would like to make clear that it condemns any form of threat against players, officials or supporters," the club said in a statement. "If provided with proper evidence Chelsea will take the strongest action against any season ticket holders or members who have participated in this activity. "Everybody connected with Chelsea is very disappointed with the events of last night. However we would stress that we have received no evidence that Chelsea fans are involved in any of the alleged threats reported." "As a result of these reports we have also been in contact with the police who likewise had not received any complaints." Chelsea fans were upset Ovrebo did not award them a penalty, despite several strong appeals, during the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge that sent Barcelona into the final on the away goals rule. Several players, notably striker Didier Drogba, remonstrated furiously with the referee after the tie, which was settled by Andres Iniesta's stoppage-time goal. Swedish referee Anders Frisk retired after he and his family received death threats following his dismissal of Drogba against the same opponents in the 2005 Champions League. Ovrebo told Aftenposten that he had been informed by UEFA not to make any comment on the furore. "Because of the circumstances after the match, Uefa has asked me not to comment to the press," Ovrebo said. Former international referee Graham Poll commented: "This morning he's being smuggled out of our country under police escort - this is a referee of a football match. That is a disgrace. "When he booked in a hotel they had to change the hotel he was staying at because of the fear that maybe fans would find him."
  10. Never fails though
  11. The Jam - In The City
  12. Try it again a hundred times....and a fair chance hundred of them will end up in row Z
  13. Kowalski Superstar Tradesman...shit, someone anyone has been on the phone to you
  14. For the good of football it has to be a Barca win tonight please No desire to see yet another Man Utd v Chelsea final. When you see football played the way Barca did at the weekend you just want more of it.
  15. Am I right in thinking that is "Panda" thats written the article
  16. Billy Joel - Uptown Girl Doubtful if anyone else on here was there, but clearly remember being at Tannadice when that was in the charts and the entire Dons support singing along to that when it was palyed at half time
  17. Deacon Blue - Chocolate Girl
  18. Probably fair to say Javan
  19. Really enjoyed the first couple of series, in my opinion series four is my least favourite so far, but expect it to pick up again
  20. Aye well might make some of the second half if I did
  21. In/Out - Out Prediction - Scummy Bastards 2 AFC 2 Pre Match - Heading up the M74. During Match - Hopefully at home listening, otherwise still in car Post Match - Either drowing my sorrows or having celebratory drink or two
  22. All in favour of optimism BUT fair chance come Thursday night we could seven points adrift of fourth place, needing at least seven points from our remaining three games including away day at Greyskull. I call in realism, but will be delighted to be proved wrong.
  23. Keep it to yourself GD. Only on series four just now
  24. So want to be wrong Kow, but fear the worst mate. The gallows are currently being erected in the Castlegate apparently
