Blimey has this turned into the Fantasy Football thread?


Carroll would be perfect and would benefit from an improved midfield but I think this is Gold doing a Tottenham of old (mentioning any available/nearly-available high-profile player to appease the fans and make it look as though he's really trying to buy the best) - the loan to Milan looks favourite if he DOES go.


It would be great to see Cole come home but I think Rodgers will like him and want to keep him.


Of course if BFS walked and Harry took over instead of going to Russia or Forest, Cole would probably come too and WH would be able to attract a slightly better class of transferee (yep, this really is fantasy football).

From BBC website:


SFL VOTE TO PUT RANGERS INTO DIVISION THREE

SFL clubs vote in favour of newco Rangers playing in Division Three


That should be 4 in a row for Celtic by the time Rangers are back in the SPL. Just 6 more to go after that for the big 10 !


Where's that smiley face ? :)


Actually tbh - I don't anticipate much fun for the 3 years Rangers are out of the SPL as I love the Old Firm games. Will be of general interest to watch their progress through the divisions. Humbling.

RANGERS STATEMENT ON CLUB WEBSITE

"Rangers' future remains uncertain after the Scottish Football League clubs voted against the Light Blues playing in the First Division next season.



"It is now understood that on the back of a briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join."

I am really surprised by this whole Andy Carroll thing. Surely you at least have a training session with your player before offloading him! Not impressed with Rogers over this. Hope it is not a sign of things to come!


Now, if he were to offload Downing, I could understand that!

Does Rodgers need a training sesh to realise that?

I'm no expert like UDT, but even I could see that Carroll wouldn't stay because he just doesn't fit in with Rodger's style of play. Anyways, I think Borini is a good buy, and if you got Walcott too, along with Suarez, it would form an exciting attacking triumvirate a la Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez...just not as good ;-)

Walcott??? I hadn't heard that as a rumour.


I think someone already said it, but surely having a plan B is no bad thing. Chelsea showed against Barca and England showed that sometimes you can frustrate the passing teams, so if Liverpool are being frustrated bring on Carroll and change things up.


Either that or lose ?15m - ?20m.


Liverpool paying ?35m for Carroll has basically buggered the poor lad right up.

Looks like Rogers is picking his tactics before looking at the strengths of the squad. He has been guilty of this before - trying to establish a new way of playing with players who just weren't capable of playing that way.


Getting rid of Carroll before he's given him a chance just shows Liverpool will be playing his defensive, short passing game next season.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
