What is GJ referring to when he says There is no way he said that...the term 'negrito'?

If so, I don't understand GJ saying that as Suarez admitted to using the term, the claim being it was a friendly cultural term, not a racial slur.

You're right it is one man's word against another, but can Suarez's word be trusted?...the independent FA report didn't think so, and he even went against the handshake agreement he'd made with Dalglish before the game...he's a loose cannon.

As for the 'low hand' nonsense, I think it speaks volumes that even LFC didn't bring this up as an excuse in the aftermath...if they thought there was the merest hint of credence in it's substantiality we wouldn't have heard the last of it.

Don't worry about UDT, he's watching the footy on his non-commercial TV...

Now that Man C's ?400m sponsorship deal with Etihad has been declared "an improper transaction" what measures do the panel think the light blue billionaires will use to qualify under the FFP regs in the future?


I have heard that a "Platinum Elite" service is available - a private box and all the trimmings but also a personalised peg in the changing room, choice of picking two subs per game and a lift home from Balotelli (home games only). Cost is ?450m/season and the first taker was a Mr. Smith.

Have to disagree with that, as I think by that stage, the powers that be at LFC were on damage limitation, and just wanted to start putting it behind them.


Suarez is definitely a loose canon, but I'm not sure he is the evil spawn of Satan that some people have been making him out to be.

The Blue Knights are set to save Rangers. A huge relief for their fans if it comes off.


Don't know if they will want to cover the potential 49m though. Also most players taking the huge pay cuts will need to make a decision as to what to do in close season. Surely the consortium does not have sufficient funds to pay full footballing wages plus 49m?


The possibility of rangers going into liquidation was slightly amusing for Celtic fans but at the end of the day its a two team league and without Rangers then supporting Celtic would not be much fun.

As a kid most boys had either Celtic or Rangers as a second team - but then there was some kind of disconnect - don't know whether it was the SPL or what but since then - and up to now - I haven't really followed or cared about either.


I certainly don't 'get' what seems a bonkers format for a league - top six/bottom six, seedings and the subsequent possibilty of an inbalance of home and away games - and I only know this much thanks to wiki...


An outsider must look at the table at the end of the season and wonder how 12 teams could play so many games against each other. Isn't it killing interest?

HMRC have said they are willing to do a deal. As long as Whyte is out of the picture, which hopefully he will be.

The big tax case findings are yet to be released so no one knows what the full liability could be.... and of that, HMRC will maybe deal at something like 10p in the pound.

Liquidation is a very unlikely option now, as the administrator said.

Rangers are looking at a fighting fund which will assist through til the end of the season if we don't get the money that is being battled over in court that Whyte has "stolen".

The players agreeing cuts in wages is hugeky commendable - saved all 177 staff at Ibrox and Murray Park.


Maybe it'll be Celtic's turn next when thier 30million "soft" loans from Desmond get called in??!!

      Egyptian goslings in Peckham Rye park!

      By Sue · Posted

      Four little goslings by the pond,  with their mum and dad keeping a close watch on them yesterday! It seems very early? Apparently they were born last week, and there were five then 😭 Let's hope the rest of them escape what I presume was the heron. Sorry just realised this should be on the nature watch thread, maybe admin could move it? Apologies.

      GALA 2025

      By DuncanW · Posted

      I'm generally in favour and supportive of events like Gala, but this issue around vehicular access to the site does seem a bit concerning. Essentially, they are going to build a fenced off road/trackway right accross the cricket and Gaelic football pitches... is that right?  Hopefully they have a way of making that work which isn't too disruptive, but I can't envisage what that might be.
