Has anyone read at BBC that the Swiss FA has strongly recommended NOT to establish that system? BTW, in Germany we have 80 million people and 56 professional teams (18-18-20). The third tier is full of financial problems despite TV money and average crowds around 4500. Below there's a semi-professional 4th tier with 100 teams or so in 5 regional groups with even more problems, at least 2 of the club in administration (plus Aachen in the 3rd). In the Bavarian group only the U 23 teams of Bayern and 1860 Munich, Nuremberg and Greuther Furth have applied for a licence for the 3rd, currently ranked 4th, 5th, 6th and 11th. So what do we learn about this?

Looks like, TBB. Except HE is the second one to be announced to have re-signed instead of Shinniesta.

Wonderful!

I'm not sure whether my friends across the border will be happy about that term

Apart from the 9 points lost losing these games How many more points would we have if we always lost 0-1?

Sounds great, and would be even greater if it was 2-year deals!

Is Northern Constabulary more trustworthy in respect of honesty than German police?

Making it into the Europa League: Why not. Getting drawn against one another: zero. It isn't possible before and in the group stage, after that only if one wins the group and the other finishes second. And, with all respect, this is an absolute impossibility for OTB

Just a wee side point, but can you tell me how Celtic are able to get 16 points out of 5 matches?

Well, in the handball Champions League match at Hamburg on Saturday night the Montpellier keeper got himself red-carded after 33 seconds, and a week ago that Fenerbahce midfielder didn't last much longer in the Europa League match at Borissow. But of course none of the involved referees was Scottish (though I think the guy at Borissow was Mr Kelly from Ireland)

Had Shane gone 2 steps on, he would have won another penalty plus a for the Hearts defender...but hey, we won!!!

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :ictscarf: Let's reverse the last week of January with 3 wins in 8 days now!

Not much good if we're targeting Polish though. True, but our neighbours came over from Poland and still speak Polish at home, so I can do the first step and let them continue

You're so charming Scarlet But I'm about 500 miles away from Hamburg and will be even farther 4 weeks on as I'll move to Southern Switzerland. But then I'll be only 90 miles from Milan

Is he able to play at all after picking up an injury on Monday?

If you need some merchandising stuff in German, I'm happy to translate as it's my native tongue.

Fallout? Where? And hopefully not nuclear or Inverness is doomed... My team: Reguero Raven - Meekings - Warren - Taylor OTJ - Draper Doran - Ross - G Shinnie Foran (if available, else Pepper) Mckay and A Shinnie to be rested on the bench and brought on after an hour...

Nah, they have switched to German nationality for glory hunting But Blaszczykowski or Lewandowski would suffice, or even a defender like Pisczek

I don't think that particular Spanish ref needs to be paid for performing crap. He simply can't do better, he never could. Just remember Germany vs Serbia at the last World Cup. I'd rather think that he PAID a lot to rise up to that stage...

Can't disagree with that Luke ;)

So that will be TWO examples of anti German statements. Definately rascist then! Don't worry. Both are interested in men.

Luke, I know that. That's why I didn't write "the Spanish DA". But he works in Spain now, so I claim correctness . And about the comparison: Just look at Mourinho's interviews if Real lose or even only a penalty is awarded against them or one of their defenders is sent off. Even worse than DA! And look how Real is in the shadows of Barca...

ManU will win because they have the better manager. Mourinho is Spain's Derek Adams.

No wonder he didn't score, being played horribly out of position

Hope I can celebrate a point or three with a Dalmore King Alexander special edition
