"The forthcoming League Cup semi-final between Celtic and Rangers will be one of the most difficult games to referee and police in the history of Scottish football. The police will have their most experience Match Commander on duty. The SFA will not have their most experienced referee on duty, instead they have given the game to former Rangers season ticket holder, Bobby Madden." Would you Adam and Eve it. Only in Scotland. All bets are off PGC.

Davis ... And compare that to life under German rule.. Soldiers in WW1 and WW2 fought to defend our freedom - end of.

In 2012, Charlie Hebdo magazine published more cartoons of the prophet Muhammad, including images of him naked, and a cover showing him being pushed along in a wheelchair by an Orthodox Jew. The French government had appealed to the editors not to go ahead with publication, and shut down embassies, cultural centres and schools in 20 countries out of fear of reprisals when they went ahead anyway. Riot police were also deployed to the Charlie Hebdo offices to protect it from direct attacks. The foreign minister, Laurent Fabius, publicly criticised the magazine?s actions asking: ?Is it really sensible or intelligent to pour fuel on the fire?? G?rard Biard, the editor-in-chief, rejected the criticism. ?We?re a newspaper that respects French law,? he said. ?Now, if there?s a law that is different in Kabul or Riyadh, we?re not going to bother ourselves with respecting it.?

Bloggers are modern media Otta for good or for bad. Football is not social work or teaching - but its different from a mainstream job in that children hero worship players - some people believe strongly that as such he shouldn't play again. It has similarities to the Bill Cosby debate - the court of public opinion is a strong one and the more open social media is, the stronger it becomes. One blogger on his own doesn't make a decision but a groundswell of opinion is hard to ignore.

As regards the public - Everyone has the right to act accordingly and as customers of the relevant football clubs to make their feelings clear by signing a petition/withdrawing their support etc.

Why do people look for ways to eat more within their diet rules. Suck up the stomach pains and the boredom.

Its a very long day already and I have not even left work yet. Total consumption one mandarin orange for breakfast and for lunch a small portion of cottage pie and green beans. I'm looking forward to a small tin of red salmon - with lettuce and cottage cheese for "dinner" about 7pm. I think when I have finished that i'll be properly bored already and have an early night.

Only thing I have in Jan is a family reunion - one night on and the rest of the month off. will keep you posted as you are paying so keen an interest.

I'm absolutely shocked to find myself to be 14 and a half stone tonight. I usually think of 13-13.7 as my normal weight. I'm not sure what's happened recently but I intend to deal with this issue. Severe stomach contraction is needed. 12 stone 7. "I have a dream"

Well done RD. The bookies favorites were snoozing.

Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur.

Looking forward to this one - The Gambler http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2039393/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Austerity Britain hasn't reached Dovercourt yet.

Dawsons Heights great and hope for no rain....

Cheers. Interesting how MOTD can mis represent then. Looked like it was MUs game for the taking.

Yes, Dulwich Open House is great although we don't really buy anything.

Judging from match of the day highlights only, it seems Spurs had little to offer against MU and id be worried about that as a test of their current capabilities, despite the game ending in a draw and therefore continuing the good run.

Did he say - I'm Jimmy by the way. He said that to me once. I said I know who you are, you plonker.

The excitement in Scotlands second league continues. Hibs are on a roll and chasing Rangers for the second promotion spot after their 4-0 win over the Gers today. But Hearts have the winning birth sown up. Hibs probably favourites to come second. SCSB - happy new year. Ally ran away before the old firm game.

If any begger becomes a public nuisance then it needs to be addressed. Id guess that's the law rather than just JohnL's personal view.

If United win the league this year, this thread will be officially terminated after a relatively short shelf life. Declares self interest of a bet on MU. Go United.
