Mourinho behaved like a brat when interviewed after the game. He chose not to answer any question which begs the question why he bothered to appear in front of the cameras. Trevor Francis in commentary declared he has lost the players. Michael Owen also in commentary said nothing of interest. Big result for Liverpool. Given Costa should have been sent off it wasn't worthy of a professional team to try and have Lucas sent off.

The measure of a manager is how they perform when things aren't going well. His recent antics speak volumes.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR RANGERS - 'OLD' AND 'NEW'


Depending upon further appeals, in purely sporting terms, this decision means there must be a huge question mark placed over trophies the 'old' Rangers won while the EBT system was in place between 2001 and 2010 before the 'old' Glasgow club was liquidated in 2012. HMRC are claiming around ?46.2m of unpaid tax from Murray's time as owner. The term 'financial doping' has been used in relation to the use of EBTs. Scottish titles, Scottish Cups and Scottish League Cups were all won as well as qualification for the Champions League and UEFA Cup while avoiding paying tax on players' earnings.

If they strip them of those titles that would be disgusting. The players won them, and the players weren't fiddling the books.


And if I were a Celtic supporter I wouldn't want them, they'd be false titles. Bit like the guys that finished second to Lance Armstong. Bet they don't feel deep down that they actually won those tours.

I don't think Celtic want the titles.


The players knew they were getting tax free money - that was promised to them in side letters on signing for the club - without that they wouldn't have come to Scotland, I'm sure. It was always amazing to Celtic fans how Rangers attracted the players they did, and its now clear.


I don't want them to lose the titles, couldn't care less really - but I do want them to lose the tax case, and for everyone to accept that it was wholly and knowingly wrong - everyone in tax knew it was wrong, its fraud.

I went to see Ireland lose to Scotland a year ago at Celtic Park and I'd have said they had no chance of qualifying based on their performance that night.


I was wrong and they have played very well since that night.


Many here (Otta?) said the O Neill Keane combo would end in tears but to be fair they have managed to get an limited pool of players to the final.

That old clich? is getting a bit tiresome. Since Bale's gone we are no longer a selling club. We're building a strong young side with the emphasis on young home grown talent (several of whom were in last night's England squad) and it's good that we are finally backing our manager in his vision. I like what Pochettino is doing at Spurs and though we've drawn a few games too many we're still unbeaten since the opening day loss to Man Utd, a game we could and should have won.


The second of three London derbies on the spin coming up on Saturday. Should be quite tasty.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?

      Seeking an English Lit A Level tutor to focus on Othello

      By Pugwash · Posted

      One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
