I see Brewster is taking Utd on a similar pre-season to the one he took ICT on last year. Friendlies lined up against Herfolge and FC Nordsaelland.

Well that's England through their p1sh easy group as expected, and I believe they are likely to meet Ecuador in the last 16, Andorra in the QF, and then Liechtenstein in the semis. The national heroes will be presented with their knighthoods the day before the final as the whole of the UK revels in glory and salutes the world's greatest team since 1966.

Until they get to the final......and face Northern Ireland!    :D

Felt a bit sorry for the Poland fans, they were great.

Just paypalled you Guzz.

Was it not Burley that scored v Norway (France 98)?

Or are you thinking of Coisty v Switzerland (Euro 96)?

Is anybody in this one?

Mates have invited me to join their league, but I don't have much time to pick a team before tomorrow and I know very little about most of the teams taking part. Any advice appreciated!

To be fair, C4E was just quoting what Shabaz said about himself.

On a similar subject, consider the amount of UK media coverage that gets given to England's selection of a new manager, compared with any other nation.

I even remember when Scotland appointed a manager (Craigie Broon I think it was) and the BBC evening news did not even mention it at all.

Both BBC and ITV networks have various English regional news programmes, why don't they use them more for stories that are only of interest to people in England?

Latest news on BBC website - Rooney's plane has taken off.

Wayne Rooney's UNCLE has just been interviewed - despite the fact that he never sees Wayne, and has absolutely nothing of interest to say.

:evil11:

Djebi-Zadi has gone to SC Paderborn, apparently.

Very interesting - although I don't think Charlie will be persuaded to take the boys there on a pre-season tour.

"Serie A" in Perth is my favourite. All the pizzas and pastas are named after Italian footballers and teams.

Last time it was my turn to drive to a home game Mantis found a pubic hair on my dashboard. He assumed it belonged to F**tballers Wife... but we all know that's not possible :004:

Emperor of all the world! :021:

What on earth is this all about? From BBC :

First Division Clyde have been left reeling by a damaging public split between manager Graham Roberts and player-assistant Joe Miller.

It appears certain that one or both will leave after an internal probe by the Cumbernauld club.

Roberts was accused of making racist and anti-Semitic remarks during an end-of-season team trip to Canada.

And Miller has vowed not to work again with Roberts and pleaded innocence over allegations of missing money.

Clyde's investigation is being delayed by Roberts being on holiday but say they are likely to come to a decision within two weeks.

"The club is actively engaged in investigating these allegations," said a spokesman. I offered my resignation on my return from Canada but was asked to have a rethink

"As soon as this is concluded, we will call a media conference."

The alliance between former Rangers defender Roberts and ex-Celtic forward Miller began last summer.

And the Canada trip was funded by a dinner held to to celebrate this season's Scottish Cup win over Celtic.

But reports suggest that a row erupted when Miller said there was no cash left for a players' night out.

Miller told Monday morning newspapers: "I deny all allegations which have been made.

"I was entrusted with the money from the players' pool along with two other players.

"One thing is certain - I will not be working with that man again.

"The players have been told the truth and the truth will prevail.

"I offered my resignation on my return from Canada but was asked to have a rethink."

A players spokesman added: "We met Joe and spent several hours going over the accusation and have no doubt he has no case to answer.

"The whole situation is unfortunate and the first we knew of any allegations was when we read the Sunday papers.

"Having spoken together as a squad, every player is of the opinion the allegations are ridiculous."

Meanwhile, a Strathclyde Police spokesman confirmed: "We can confirm an allegation of financial irregularities involving Clyde has been received.

"At this stage, it has yet to be established if any crime has been committed."

Roberts was not available for comment.

Of course the reason we got Juanjo in the first place was that he was on trial at Livi and about to sign for them, but when Lilley became available they went for him instead....big mistake!

Presumably the nature of the recent discussion with Brew was that ICT would be prepared to sell Black and Proctor to Utd if the price was right - but that we would not sell other targets like Dods, hence no bid for him.

Our rejection of the initial bids is just part of the process.

Having just seen the Dundee Courier article posted by CaleyD on the Rumour Mill this morning, I actually suspect that Radio Tay were basing their story on that, rather than having any fresh news.

Looks like we might be beyond the rumour stage on this saga.

They are reporting this morning that Utd's bids for Black and Proctor have been accepted, no mention of the amounts though. Also saying that ICT are fighting to keep Dods.

Says the rambling c*ck!

I'm afraid T&T didn't look like they'll be troubling any of their opponents :007:

I expect the England team will be awarded MBEs or knighthoods.

There's a really good one in Anstruther, within reach of an away trip to East Fife.
