Re: Scottish premier league.

Genuinely thought Taylor and Carter-Vickers were nearer 30. They seem to have been around for years.

Re: Scottish premier league.

It does speak volumes that Butland was their POTS but I'm not sure any Rangers outfield player would get in the Celtic team. I also think the point about the Rangers defence is equally valid for Celtic as well. It's not great and it shows against better quality teams.

Re: Scottish premier league.

Once again showing what happens when you don't have a natural goalscorer in the team. Apart from the disallowed goal, Rangers didn't trouble Hart. Idah follows up the one half decent shot and buries the rebound. I've watched Cantwell all season because I thought he looked a decent player in the Cham...

Re: Scottish premier league.

It was always the joke that the SFA deliberately kept them apart in cup draws so that they could have a final worth selling the broadcasting rights for.

Not meaning to be cruel but it's 100 minutes long and, if some people have a face for radio, you have a voice for silent movies.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm slightly bemused by this. I get that Chiron is an investment group but I would assume they work with a pool of money and are not at the whim of individual investors, or is that not how sports investment works? Are they just a front?

Re: VAR

Give each team 2 flags, but have it like cricket, win the challenge, keep the flag. Impose a time limit on challenges. No decision after 90 seconds, go with the on field call. Have a live feed of the VAR analysis.

Get rid of VAR intervention but allow the referee to refer to VAR when not sure.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I remember reading one bit of the Football Insider article where they seemed to misunderstand what's been said, which would have completely thrown out their timeline.

I think it was regarding some element of due diligence, which I understood Howe had been doing prior to announcing exclusivity,
