2-1, about 10 mins left. Palace and Cardiff 1-1 on aggregate. Kenny miller has had a couple of decent efforts. Unlucky not to score.

Some horrific challenges from what i saw, I was amazed they were only yellows!

Ah right. ITV 4 not got any live games at all then (I haven't looked)? Its not a tournament that I find has a lot of great football, maybe i'll just stick to the highlights then

This years Oscar nominations are out. Nice to see Gary Oldman up for Tinker Tailor. One of my favourite actors I'd say. Full list on BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16700124

Anyone watching any of the African Cup on Nations? I've missed the beginning due to no live games being shown? Just watched the Tunisia - Morocco game, decent finishes. Highlights on ITV 4 if anyone is interested. Bit better than the BBC 3 coverage previously.

I think its fair to say we won't be mucked around by this guy. Nice to know that he appreciates the fans support, hopefully the board do too. Read the story this morning and assumed it was a nothing story, which I guess it is but still.

Aye, and from the ever reliable resource that is Wikipedia, his loan spell got cut short in November?

Seems to work though, he scores decent goals after being abused! Bizarre though.

Why have certain sections of the crowd got it in for him?

Four match ban for it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16693521.stm

Not female, but I think the keeper is completely gash here.

Original 106 saying that the contract negotiations are at a stalemate...thanks for being with us Kari, the board are too short sighted to know what they're doing here. A player that genuinely excites the fans, that would be worth its money in shirt sales alone. Obviously I don't know what the offer is and I don't want the club held to ransom, but given their history the club need to pull out all the stops.

Agreed, its a complete farce. It's not like the two will clash or anything. UEFA and FIFA in being cunts shocker...

When was the last time we won there though? Was it Fosters screamer years ago?

Pars - win Hivs - draw St. Johnstone - win St. Mirren - draw Celtic - lose Well - lose 8 points.

He did but there was a definite kicking motion towards Parker. I'm not sure if he realised he was kicking out at his head...not that that makes things better!

Who does / did he even play for anymore? Can't say im fussed.

You'd hope so. I like him as a player, but after seeing that he definitely deserves the book to be thrown at him! Amazing that Parker just carried on, lucky not to have sustained any serious injury.

I can't say I liked the challenge, and it was certainly cynical but there were other players there so I don't think it was a red. Maybe thats just me though.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/16672768.stm Highlights are up. I have to say BBC make it to be very one sided.

I'm sure there is a guy on MAD that goes most weeks. Were they not the ones who were blurred in that photo when we played Hertha years ago?

His last season he was woeful and deserved all the abuse he got. I really had high hopes for him, and his first season he seemed to play pretty consistently. Horrific captain.
