Phew, bye bye dunfermline!

According to original 106, Anderson is close to signing a deal.

Pretty impressive: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/winter_sports/16440984.stm

Just to jog Tyrant's memory, BBC have the highlights from the 5-0 up http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/16514781.stm

You could tell City had no leadership at the back without Kompany and completely agree, Savic looked like a bombscare! Didn't he cost them a fair bit of money?

Aye cos that would be a brilliant idea...

Agreed! What a refreshing thing to read

it was good cover from Reina. Certainly a better second half anyway.

Not quite how id describe it Liverpool playing some good football but city haven't turned up. Look completely lost without kompany / Silva / toure.

Aye, but i'd never seen the actual fire work display, pretty impressive.

Burj Khalifa. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8440435.stm Some opening ceremony despite the fact that Dubai has fuck all money! Can't say it appeals to me but interesting nonetheless.

I love how they say offered these days! Still, GIRFUY houston

When I wrote that i knew someone would bring that into the equation And I wholeheartedly agree, that has no place in football either!

Right enough, he was the only one shouting "black bastard" or whatever it was. As i said I hope what Kow is saying isn't true, because it's not what football in the UK needs.

Nice interview with him on RedWeb (Crespo that is).

God, it's quite obvious what they were chanting about, and it wasn't the local population. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

It costs a fortune. Basing my knowledge from when Holland joined the Euro, all the prices had to be changed and it cost businesses and more importantly people a lot of money. Same happened to Estonia last January and it pissed a lot of people off. Joining the Euro is not an option, it's only going to get worse imo. But I agree, if you're going to have independence, you have to go the whole hog and change the currency or the govt will be at the mercy of the Bank of England.

Great news! Glad to see them signing up. Hopefully Considine can build on his better performances this season and Vernon keeps on doing what he does best, scoring

That not always the case when a new currency is started? All has to do with market confidence etc does it not? I'm not professing to know what i'm talking about, merely saying what i've seen Certainly with the Euro, it took time for it build value in the markets.

If true, it would be a boost!

As I said it was what I was told from a mate who was at the game. I can't verify if it was true or not and agree, its somewhat out of character for Liverpool fans. If it is true, being racially abused (in view of everyone might I add) then being booed by a large number of folk would be quite traumatic wouldn't it?

All well and good but that's not what im getting at. It will not hold the same value as the pound sterling and cost the economy a fortune. Hopefully, as jager says this would be offset by a trade off. Just raising a concern.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16463542.stm From what I heard it wasn't just one fan but a large proportion of the kop booing adayemi at the end. Still, im glad Liverpool have handled this better than the previous embarrassments.

The currency issue is what would get me. The Scottish pound is already worth less abroad (anyone tried exchanging it?). Im not convinced salmond is the right guy for this, and judging by the polls, neither do most Scots, but will certainly be interesting to see how this pans out the next few years.
