What is GJ referring to when he says There is no way he said that...the term 'negrito'?

If so, I don't understand GJ saying that as Suarez admitted to using the term, the claim being it was a friendly cultural term, not a racial slur.

You're right it is one man's word against another, but can Suarez's word be trusted?...the independent FA report didn't think so, and he even went against the handshake agreement he'd made with Dalglish before the game...he's a loose cannon.

As for the 'low hand' nonsense, I think it speaks volumes that even LFC didn't bring this up as an excuse in the aftermath...if they thought there was the merest hint of credence in it's substantiality we wouldn't have heard the last of it.

Don't worry about UDT, he's watching the footy on his non-commercial TV...

Now that Man C's ?400m sponsorship deal with Etihad has been declared "an improper transaction" what measures do the panel think the light blue billionaires will use to qualify under the FFP regs in the future?


I have heard that a "Platinum Elite" service is available - a private box and all the trimmings but also a personalised peg in the changing room, choice of picking two subs per game and a lift home from Balotelli (home games only). Cost is ?450m/season and the first taker was a Mr. Smith.

Have to disagree with that, as I think by that stage, the powers that be at LFC were on damage limitation, and just wanted to start putting it behind them.


Suarez is definitely a loose canon, but I'm not sure he is the evil spawn of Satan that some people have been making him out to be.

The Blue Knights are set to save Rangers. A huge relief for their fans if it comes off.


Don't know if they will want to cover the potential 49m though. Also most players taking the huge pay cuts will need to make a decision as to what to do in close season. Surely the consortium does not have sufficient funds to pay full footballing wages plus 49m?


The possibility of rangers going into liquidation was slightly amusing for Celtic fans but at the end of the day its a two team league and without Rangers then supporting Celtic would not be much fun.

As a kid most boys had either Celtic or Rangers as a second team - but then there was some kind of disconnect - don't know whether it was the SPL or what but since then - and up to now - I haven't really followed or cared about either.


I certainly don't 'get' what seems a bonkers format for a league - top six/bottom six, seedings and the subsequent possibilty of an inbalance of home and away games - and I only know this much thanks to wiki...


An outsider must look at the table at the end of the season and wonder how 12 teams could play so many games against each other. Isn't it killing interest?

HMRC have said they are willing to do a deal. As long as Whyte is out of the picture, which hopefully he will be.

The big tax case findings are yet to be released so no one knows what the full liability could be.... and of that, HMRC will maybe deal at something like 10p in the pound.

Liquidation is a very unlikely option now, as the administrator said.

Rangers are looking at a fighting fund which will assist through til the end of the season if we don't get the money that is being battled over in court that Whyte has "stolen".

The players agreeing cuts in wages is hugeky commendable - saved all 177 staff at Ibrox and Murray Park.


Maybe it'll be Celtic's turn next when thier 30million "soft" loans from Desmond get called in??!!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
