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

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
