  1. When opposition get the choice of ends very few would bother to change it when they're already lined up at the Merkie end. Same with most grounds from my memory. Teams usually just line up in the half they run out the tunnel to. Home end always go to the same end. Motherwell we're usually shooting towards away section in 2nd half. Rangers we're usually shooting towards away end in 2nd half. Celtic we're usually shooting towards away end in 2nd half. Hearts we're usually shooting towards away end in 2nd half. CBA thinking about the other grounds just now.
  2. Hughes was pish. He seemed to be obsessed with putting his teammates in awkward positions with his passes.
  3. Most teams are the same. Seem to find us shooting the same way 1st half at most grounds.
  4. Probably yes. It's on RedTV International so there's usually some streams on the usual sites when it's on there.
  5. Another statement from Whyte. He hasn't personally taken a penny from AFC. But many of his numerous companies have.
  6. Surely you mean http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=4054l4054l1l4149l1l1l0l0l0l0l67l67l1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1600&bih=799&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Mizer+is+from+dundee&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=the+globe&hnear=0x48864144ab639cd3:0x94e43b1e384be52a,Dundee&cid=0,0,16901433325336497931&ei=W0o-T5uPAaXH0QXevZitDw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&ved=0CA0Q_BI
  7. Brown on RedWeb saying Pawlett and Rae back in training. Might be ready for Sunday. Jack back into the squad too. Osbourne, Clark, Milsom, Folly and Anderson the players he mentioned as injured. Europe is Browns target for the season.
  8. Each hour passes by and it becomes more and more obvious that this was Whyte's intention all along. He's been lining this up since before he even bought the club and the cunt is going to get away with it.
  9. I fear he may be even slower.
  10. Well there will be a wider mix of Scottish teams getting into Europe, so more clubs will get chances in these games. The amount of qualifiers teams have to play isn't going to go up because Rangers are no longer there. They have as much a negative impact on our coefficient these days as Gretna or Queen of the South had. For the ones who don't finish in European spots a Hibs, Dundee United or Aberdeen team in Europe, or pushing for European places, can take thousands of fans to their grounds instead of the 4000 huns. A cup and/or European run puts a good feeling right through the support with more fans turning up to both home and away fixtures. The interest from TV companies to show non-old Firm Scottish Football on TV is clearly there. The next 4 Aberdeen games are on Sky/ESPN and 3 of the 4 Scottish Cup Quarter Finals are on BBC/Sky. Only 2 out of these 6 matches involve Celtic. None involve Rangers. Yep the TV money will reduce without Old Firm matches, but who is to say the viewing figures for the other matches won't increase when people see how competitive the league is (outside Celtic for a few years) and tune in to see clubs who are challenging for European spots. Ticket prices are a problem in Scottish Football. But as you mentioned that is a problem whether Rangers exist or not.
  11. The St Mirren chairman has clocked onto this. Have seen comments from him that they would hope to get increased attendances if the huns didn't exist. Hopefully more chairmen realise this too.
  12. TBH be honest in Aluko's case I think he'll have done enough at Rangers to have improved his reputation and get a Championship club quite easily.)
  13. Don't think there's any truth in it, although I hope there is Most news sources saying there will be no sackings today and players/staff will learn more next week. Although the administrators have announced a press conference for 3.30pm so there might be something going on. Anyone still got Aluko on twitter? I deleted him cause he's a hun.
  14. Most news sources saying no sackings today, players/staff will find out next week. News Conference announced by the administrators for 3.30pm though.
  15. Nae idea if it's funny as I couldn't watch more than a minute of it without being pissed off with the accents.
  16. And Rangers aren't in any of them! #ScottishFootballTVDealsNeedRangersORLY
  17. The TV deal doesnt just require the participation of Rangers and Celtic, it actually stipulates that they will play eachother 4 times. How can that be in the best interests of any league? How can that be fair? If either OF club were to be struggling and fighting for top 6 football how much pressure would be put on referees to help them? How much pressure is put on them to help from them day 1 in each season?
  18. Changed my mind already. In. #cupfever
  19. is on Sunday 11th March, 3.45pm Kick Off. Sky telly. In/Oot: Oot
  20. Celtic's budget would be the one impacted the most and therefore their playing squad would take a drop in quality greater than that at any other club in the SPL. Might not close the gaps but it will reduce it significantly. The current SPL TV deal also restricts the league to a 10/12 team league (it actually stipulates that the OF play 4 times a season, so it restricts the league to guaranteeing them both top 6 football). Any new deal wouldn't have this clause which could allow the SPL to increase to a size the fans want. TV money will reduce significantly, yes. But any drop isn't going to be disastrous. We're talking less money than we've received over the last 12 months in compensation for youth players. Clubs will continue to develop young players (and in some cases be forced to develop more) and in an ideal world would sell them on during contracts (like Hibs) instead of having them leave for compensation fees (like Aberdeen) I don't think there are going to be less fans going to see Aberdeen v Hearts or Aberdeen v St Johnstone just because Rangers aren't in the league. Many clubs will see an increase in interest from their fans in a fairer league setup. Eliminate the 4000/8000 Rangers fans at Pittodrie each season and you need less than 250/500 more fans at each home game to make up for that - ignoring the extra costs the huns fans bring with them. European places will still be there. Our coefficient isn't going to be affected whether it's Rangers being humped in July or Motherwell. What it will do is give more teams outwith Rangers a chance at these games which can bring in revenue and provide them with a chance to sneak a 0-0 at home then 1-1 away. 11-1 voting on some crucial issues can be eradicated, allowing the league to make decisions for the better of the majority instead of for the better of their two strongest sides. The NFL owners work to a motto of the league is only as strong as its weakest team. Something which provides a very competitive and successful league (In both financial and sporting terms)
  21. Kids kicking around footballs in that video. The place will be full of NO BALL GAMES signs within a week.
