Exactly Keef - they didn't show it once yet he spent the rest of the match rolling around on the floor.

52-43 soon maybe.


Hats off to Kenny Miller, two chances and two goals, made the difference. But I think Celtic played well and are building a decent side. If I was a rangers fan I'd be worried about how little of the ball they were able to get in a home match only to have 40% of the ball is poor. In a long season the difference will tell.

you can have the ball for as long as you like but if you cannae stick it in the pokey - whats the point?? You're saying we were poor, so we can get better, yet still take the three points??

surely you remember the swash-buckling football Tommy Burns had you playing... didn't win much back then??!! Tony Mowbray may turn you into the Gallowgate Galacticos, but if you can't score, you can't score.


Oh, and apparently, Kyle Lafferty has had his windows put in - good to see your lot losing with dignity as usual.


Celtic FC - never defeated, always cheated since 1888.

Liverpool played well within a cautious framework, thought Chelsea were there for the taking.


Looking at the stats since pre-season started, Liverpool have now lost 7 times. Out of the 9 wins our biggest scalp has been beating West Ham.


The formation / players Liverpool finished with yesterday should be the kind to start games plus Agger replacing Carragher.

My initial thoughts exactly quids. Luckily looks like MM is bigger than that.


Didn't find out until last night that we scraped a draw. Had had a quick glance at the wedding I was at (much gutting nearby) and the beeb had posted up 1-2 R, so was unneccesarily pissed of for about 24 hours!!

Indeed. Such a pity about Ashton, he exuded class and strength but looks like it's game over full stop for the lad.

We need a real play maker, someone who can exploit the gaps that Carlton is creating. I'm glad to see his game has come on, he terrifies defences with his strength and movement but his goal scoring instincts are still off and he needs to be partnered up rather than isolated.

a wedding with lots of "gutting"?


zoiks


Ah... "tutting"


According to the report in the paper, the West Ham fans didn't great the late equaliser with quite the relief other teams might - suggesting the play wasn't worth it. Some teams I always delight in seeing relegated, West Ham aren't one of them. But it's very early days yet, so keep the faith

I think we're fragile but will probably be ok - last year the luck went our way top half, this year so far, no, but still think 13thish. My worry is we won't have many points by January and I'm pretty sure Upson will be off in the window and maybe Green. We also have no money...

He lived next door to a friend of mine once who tells this story. Soon after Souness moved in she [my friend] was coming back from walking her dog and saw him unloading his car outside his house. She thought, "I'll go in and introduce myself, as we live next door. Make him know he's welcome".


"Hello" she said.


"Get your dog off my drive," said Graeme.


End of conversation.

Do you get a more blatent penalty than this?

Old Firm Ref admits mistakes....

I think PGC if we had been given this penalty I feel the 2-5 would have been on the cards....;-) We should have had four penalties, but only got one....A good match and Rangers were deserved winners, they took their chances.

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
    • Having just been to Co-op to redeem a 50p off Co-op members' card voucher on an item that is now 50p more than it was last week, Tesco can't come soon enough
    • Surely that depends on the amount.  It can be quite piffling.
