Nobody's talking about moving the biggest football rivalry.
At least I'm not.

Or Barcelona played a league game in Miami where Messi resides...
That didn't take long.

FIFA also see it differently mate. It's inevitably the future with all 5 big European countries promoting the game globally. Get yourself outside Castlemilk pal.
You'd be quite happy for the old firm game to be moved as well then?
Absolutely wank idea.

Left out the Scotland squad. Good.

The fact we now have 2 TV deals is absolutely ridiculous. We have the one of the biggest fixtures in the world in the OF never mind the likes of the Edinburgh derby which gets reasonable viewing figures but is never on sky and also the Dundee Derby returning which gets reasonable viewing figures also.
The absolute buffoons that run the SPFL are so incompetent its absolutely ridiculous. As fans we are expected to have a SKY Sports subscriptions, BT Sports Subscription for European games and also a Premier Sports subscription for cup and league games now FFS we are in a cost of living crisis surely someone would thing lets try and do something better and cheaper for the fans.
The premier league in England has games on sky, TNT and Amazon.

He seems to have an amazing ability to handle multiple superstar egos and get them playing as a cohesive, tactically disciplined team. Some managers are extremely good at the tactical side of things but seem to struggle with the interpersonal side of things (e.g., Tuchel).
Obviously you can't prove this, but I think one of the reasons why he has a relatively ordinary domestic record (although still very impressive) compared with his European record is that he has a special ability to get his players up for the biggest matches, which is pretty much every match in the CL.
He won at the highest level both playing in and managing two absolutely ridiculously talent-stacked Milan teams, and I doubt he has ever met a player whose specific needs he hasn't figured out how to meet.
I'm sure he's the only manager to win each of the 5 top European leagues. I wouldn't call that ordinary.

If you look at Ibrox there is black metal sheeting covering the steel that supports the roof these run down the outside of the stands and along the roof you just can't see them where the corners have been filled in
I haven't a clue about stuff like that. Why would it prevent the screens being removed and the seating extended? I would have thought the corners could basically be reverted back to pre screens so changing the layout shouldn't be an issue?

Not convinced the screens can be removed due to supporting the stands either side of them
What kept them up before the corners were filled in?

Nah they didn't, I think I ballsed up there, think Leitch based Ibrox on Westfalenstadion (Signal Iduna Park) he didn't design theirs.
Leitch died in 1939. The Westafalen was built in the 70s. It's the modern Ibrox that was inspired by it.

Wasn't it just sports sponsorships for the companies that he worked for?

Is everyone's sound out of sync or just me
I think the crowd noise is fine it's the commentators.

You could be in Pot 1 and get a much more difficult draw than someone in Pot 4. Pots are completely irrelevant in regards to difficulty of ties
Edit: is that right that you play two teams from each pot regardless?

If he’s good enough he’s old enough
get him in playing
He's 15 and looks about 12. Maybe best just to let him develop first.

In this case, still images show that he was beside Taylor then behind him. That isn't open to interpretation. It's what you asked to see.
No I asked to see the movement. That's kinda lost on still images. It explains nothing about how it happened and in no way indicates he intended to get behind Hart. If he intended to be behind Hart logically he would have just stood behind Hart. Nothing was preventing him.
-
Just now, Inigo said:
It shows what you don't want to see.
It shows nothing. They are still images completely open to interpretation. The only facts are that Taylor grabbed Raskin and physically forced him back from his starting position. Everything else is literally made up nonsense and you're smarter than that.

Dessers will be 30 this year. I don't think he's been nearly as bad as made out but as an investment he was a terrible signing.

You asked me for proof when I said what you think is a foul happened before the corner had been taken (and therefore no foul can be given). Inigo has now provided the proof that Raskin has disappeared from beside Hart before the corners been taken. My own still shows that after that Raskin and Taylor were BOTH jostling, no more.
There was no jostling because at no point is Raskin holding Taylor. He gets pushed back 3 yards, breaks free and moves forward towards Hart. The whole time Taylor is only concerned with stopping him, no clue where the ball is. If Raskin does the same to Taylor the referee blows his whistle and nobody complains. Because it's a foul.

Might be Davies then. There are three Rangers players near the goalie then one disappears, the players showm definitely atent Raskin. Where do you think he is? The pictures show where he started and then where he went.
The pictures show very little and as I've said his intentions are immaterial.

Not that it actually matters but just before the corner is taken Raskin is beside Taylor...
Then he tries to evade by going behind him behind...
Most of this has already taken place before the kick anyway. Both have already disappeared behind Dowell (I think it is)...
Dowell didn't play and they haven't disappeared in that photo.
None of that shows Raskin moving. He's no more likely to have gone behind Taylor than Taylor is to have gone on front of him.

Just now, Rigamonti said:
No less proof than any of us knowing exactly where Raskin wanted to be by the time the corner came in, and we've been debating that for the last hour.
If that's what you're calling a foul, then there's really no point in carrying this conversation on.
Where Raskin wanted to be is immaterial. Only what actually happened.

How the players are reacting. This is a couple of seconds after Taylor has pushed Raskin away from Hart, they're both now jostling, and the other players reactions suggest it still hasn't been taken. Even if it has been though (unlikely), the pushing and jostling was still no more than you'd expect to see at every single corner, by both teams. A push in the goalkeepers back however will always be given.
So no actual proof then. Taylor is still pushing in that image.

You can see it from all of the footage out there. I slowed and paused it myself.
Not that it matters.
I can't. Where does Raskin go from being in front of Taylor to behind him?

Taylor pushing Raskin away from Hart was before the corner was taken, ie before the ball was in play. That's not a foul.
Proof?
