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.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By ctovey · Posted

      Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.

      Recommending Andy (@Spoiltdog) | Andyman Handyman

      By elemanson · Posted

      A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10!

      Highly Recommended Painter / Decorator - Temi

      By nipperpenrose · Posted

      Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By mary123 · Posted

      The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
