    All of Billy's November goals in one clip, ta BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/scotland/20632112 I never tire of seeing the one v Celtic, especially for Roberts' change of direction that neither defender had even contemplated was possible.
  2. So you might think, but its actually from Devon/Cornwall. I'm guessing it might Cornish for ****.
  3. There's some weird "solidarity payment" when a league's teams are in the CL. I'd be very pleasantly surprised if we got an extra amount of that scale thanks to a Samaras dive.
  4. Its rather odd that this Court of the Lord Lyon thinks that lions have wings. In addition, why did they allow lions to appear in so widely Scottish heraldry when it is not even a native species?! I'd like to see these foreign beasts replaced on all flags, shields and badges by something Scottish, and I'd suggest the red squirrel. To intimidate opponents and terrify enemies you'd have the "Squirrel Rampant", complete with claws out. Grrrrrr!

    I think what happens is that the winners get informed and asked to attend a photoshoot with the trophy, and then the press release is issued complete with photo. ICT get all 3 this time, Aberdeen got all 3 last month - a cynic might suggest that a 'hattrick' conveniently reduces the travel and photographer costs!
  6. This 14th century institution does still exist and has great powers to prosecute and jail people who don't comply with its rulings on stripe widths and lion wings. Headed up by the "Lord Lyon King of Arms" (I kid ye not!) here is the terrifying garrisson who would march on Pitmedden to take the Fortmartine players to the dungeon if they wore a non-compliant shirt or spoke French.

    Manager of the month despite the 1-5 v Motherwell?! Actually all the teams suffered defeat(s) in the month and we were as good as anyone, if not better. I actually think though that Dundee might have been more deserving, because after a long losing run they got 2 wins, a draw and just 1 defeat in the month.
  8. Never mind the player, how about copying their pink strips and calling the stadium "Thunder Castle"?
  9. And even more oddly, a quick google search tells me that Rangers International Football Club is actually the name of one of Nigeria's top teams.
  10. The new holding company is being called Rangers International Football Club plc. Presumably the "International" bit is a reference to their trips to Berwick?
  11. Confirmed that Rangers are raising £27m of new cash by floating on the stock market this month - according to BBC this values the club at £50m. Now, Dragons Den style, that means the existing shareholders' stake (Green, Ashley, McCoist etc) is valued at £23m, which I think is 4 times the price they paid Oldco for the assets. That's quite a return in 6 months.

    For what it's worth, Matthew Cooper got the goal.
  13. An awful lot of Rangers fans will still want to be at the game and will just buy tickets from Dundee Utd, which puts the home team in an awkward position as they are responsible for segregation and have some responsibility for the conduct of people they sell tickets to.
  14. Breaking news : Rangers boycotting Champions League!
  15. "A statement from the Rangers Supporters' Assembly read: "The Rangers support has waited patiently for the opportunity to send a clear message to those that tried to destroy our club"" Then look a bit closer to home, you ****wits.
  16. Someone like Birdog!
  17. Will they be accepting their 50% share of the gate receipts?
  18. This prompts a question - what is the collective noun for Rangers fans? eg A parade of Rangers fans? An embarrassment of Rangers fans?

    Ta for the update. Hardly a surprise as Utd are the form team, winning 7 of their last 10.
  20. "The cumbersome beast appears embarrassed to show its face"
  21. 2009 - banned for 2 months after testing positive for cocaine (covered up by Birmingham who said he was injured) 2011 - caught snorting cocaine in Edinburgh city centre getting 200 hours community service. Got to laugh at the description of events back then (BBC) "The city's sheriff court was told that the 29-year-old former Birmingham City player tried to con officers on the night of his arrest by telling them his name was Johnstone. But the Scottish international spelled the name "J-O-S". He then pushed PC Katherine Eager aside and ran away. He was stopped by one of her colleagues just 300m from the Land Rover where officers had seen him taking the drugs and found to have cocaine with a street value of £450." Sometimes footballers aren't the brightest. Or the fittest, evidently.
  22. "Waaaaaah!" Superb!
  23. Brewster in injury time at home to Hearts for 2-1 in September 2007. The significance was that we had lost our first 6 games of the season (when Christie quit) and it wasn't looking good again when we went a goal down. We pummelled them in the 2nd half and got an equaliser, then after 86 minutes the new manager brought himself on. He volleyed that cross in so hard I think it would have taken my head off if the net hadn't been there. A goal which gave us hope and confidence and a rather hyper journey home.
  24. In the 2009/10 promotion run in, 6 games from the end we were dropping points at home to Raith, 3-3, until a certain Richie Foran fired home in the 94th minute. Delirium.
  25. If there's only one replay televised it'll be Arbroath, because of the ready made audience of Celtic fans, and for the 'neutrals', the wee hope of an upset.
