Well, Belgium has had peado issues in the recent past.......

Again, I completely agree with you. I won't be popular saying it, but I have felt that a good number of our managers over the years really haven't given a toss about anything other than coming above the filth. Being a truly successful club doesn't work like that in real life, we need to make money, real money, and the way for clubs like ours to do that is to develop and sell on players. We can't make the money any other way. The days of a Walter Smith simply winning titles is actually not good enough. Who'd be daft enough to pump real money into us? The so called Rangers supporters on the Board don't even do that!

You are totally correct. People think because we used to see huge crowds at specific matches that that was what happened every week - it wasn't. You just need to look at the average attendances to see that we were never anywhere near filling the ground the majority of the time. The difference nowadays, and for the last 30 odd years, is because of season tickets, which means people now go more often because they've paid out for it. And as for the additional monies from advertising, etc., from having a bigger stadium, you would hope this would be the case. The problem I see for stadium expansion is that to do it sensibly/properly we'd need to look at starting afresh, and that would cost a lot of money which we don't have. Even a Bond scheme would not produce anywhere near enough money to pay for what we'd need to do. The main stand alone would cost a packet to refurbish because of the temporary works required around the facade and roof. The one good thing is that we have all the land we'd need, so no monies required for that. In my opinion, an expansion is a long way off.

my missus went to St Mungos. Afraid there is some pot pourri after all.

Denny!?! Wrong 'un. Bo'ness Loyal ya bas!

5XL?!?!?!?! Christ, you should be wearing a smock, not a football top, if you need a 5XL!

Well, that'll leave a few with feck all to moan about.......and give another few something to moan about!

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!

Jesus, some folk are never fucking happy! Every other set of supporters would be broadcasting it from the rooftops.

I never got picked

Not going to disagree with you on any of that!

Get too tight, he knocks it past you. No one is covered in glory, but Goldson just did the wrong thing. Every way I look at what happened with the goal, that bit more than anything pains me. I like Goldson, I like them all (not always been the case in the past ), but every time I think about that ball not being pumped off the pitch, it pains me.

If he is thinking about leaving the ball for someone else to clear up, who is behind and therefore in a potentially worse position for putting it in your own net, well, that says a lot about the individual. Personally, I think he simply fucked up. End of.

Don't disagree about cutting out the cross, but you could cut Wright a bit of slack as he isn't a defender. Goldson should have attacked that ball, I cannot see why he wouldn't. It's his job.

I said it at the time last night, why didn't he just go for it and put it out? We we saw the replay it looked to me as if he was going to go for it then left it. First rule of defending, get it out of the danger area. Period.

Probably the only Bear in the photo not sweating like a fat lass in a pie shop!

I re-read your e-mail and realised I'd made a plum of it. My head isnae all there at the moment!

Went to Benalmedena a few times over the last 6-7 years. It's always bloody hot in Sevilla, although this is a wee bit earlier in the year than we've usually gone. Still, it will be a stinker for the players.

Basically translates as United. Other than that, first foreign football strip I can remember other than Real Madrid, oddly enough

Feck it. If we win tonight let's just have a coup d'etat. Give them something to write about before they are put against the wall

Fookers got me in a meeting at 4 here. As soon as it's finished, I'll be slipping out of the place like a greased ferret

Dear God, you wouldn't get me back to my desk

A turd on my desk would be producing more work than I am today. Anybody else about as useful as a burst johnny today?
