Tim Vickery is the fucking man. Only time I've ever properly listened to what a pundit says. Fuck knows why he's stuck on the highlights show and not the main one.

Youth has been scrapped? Aird and Macleod have shown if you're good enough you will play. It's not just ally making short term signings to get over certain hurdles. The board need it as well as there's no contingency plan should we fail to go up. The club needs to get out of the championship at the first attempt.

To be fair, Greece have probably never had 5 vs 2 before so it's no surprise they had no idea what to do.

Backed Holland and Costa Rica to qualify, can't see it happening now unless it goes to pens.

Fiver at 16/5 Costa Rica to win on penalties. Got Holland up in the live betting at 17/2 earlier so don't want to go mad... never won a fucking bean betting on football.

Columbian Roulette comes here having failed to impress on the turf at Brighton last time out. He would have needed that run and should improve now he's back at Southwell. He came a close second last January and the time before that he was excelling when accidentally jinxing his rider and unseating him. Back here on a mark of 55 we should see him go close. The 6/1 looks too big to me and it'll be a win only bet. Selection: Columbian Roulette in the 5.15 Southwell :-))

Costa Rica over 4.5 corners and greece over 1,5 cards

Robben's theatrics are an absolute embarrassment

Hate Clark Carlisle.

"It should have been a double penalty" says Clark Carlisle, whose father should have pulled out.

New Rangers signing Kris Boyd has rubbished suggestions he and manager Ally McCoist fell out during his first stint at the Ibrox club. (Scottish Sun)

Yes... I was messing around with various methods of posting and embedding a video as it seems to have changed recently. It was rather predictable that someone would quote it and mess up the thread. Well played. EDIT - Sorry JRodg, I am just a bit grumpy because I got caught! EDIT EDIT - I give up...!

Bring it back...!

I think he has signed only 2 ex players. That's hardly "primarily". And they're both excellent goal scorers. But you're determined to criticize, no matter what.

If the young players are good enough they will start every game, but they're not, with a couple of exceptions. All this talk about not playing the U21's when in Div 3 is bollocks. McCoist's #1 priority is getting back to the top ASAP, and he's doing just that. The Championship will bring out the best in the team as they'll be up against better opposition. If we fail to get promoted then you can start moaning about McCoist again. I'd rather get to the top again in 3 years, like we're doing, than play a bunch of inexperienced young guys and risk not getting promoted at all. And I'd bet every Rangers fan feels the same way.

I bet you can't back that up. Not that it matters, it has little or nothing to do with what I said.

Some people on here would rather we fail to prove their point than us succeeding and proving them wrong.

Quite often in Boardroom issues people adopt the line of 'it's the rhebel, just ignore that' or some other line re wild paper speculation or intent to disrupt us, 'lets wait and see what actually happens'. When it comes to McCoist people are more than willing to latch on to a newspaper story and have a pre-emptive moan about him, using the 'if this is true then McCoist is..... ', a sort of weasel like, newspaper 'we can say whatever we like if we say "if this is true" ' get out. Then, of course, the paper often gets it wrong, as in this instance. But hey, we've got our McCoist moan in, so who cares? Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the story ends up true or not, by having an 'if this is true' rant it adds to the tone of discontent without any genuine reason, other than the acceptance of paper talk. There's plenty of genuine stuff to argue about re McCoist, but it just sounds like a witch hunt when you club him over the head with speculative paper talk.

We all know who they are, and they should be ashamed of themselves. They won't be, of course, but they should be.

glad weve signed boyd, he scores goals and from what ive heard his overall game has improved since he was last with us.

Shaqiri is a winger, Lallana isn't. I'm not even sure why there is such a comparison going in tbh.

Brilliant post Kai .

You've posted this from an already established negative opinion rather than trying to be neutral. There are so many holes in it that it would be pointless debating as it is clear you would never move your position.

Shaqiri is a greedy cunt. Scores a hatrick and everybody's wanking over him. Did you see his first 2 games for Switzerland at the WC? Constantly took the ball on and immediately lost it.

Oh good stuff. Will get the white one for going away to america I think!

Someone's hurting.

He's been inspired by the World Cup. Out score every cunt

Very classy
