Of course we do - being liked means more sales!

its hard to say, my personal opinion is that the spl would not be the same without
Rangers. all the clubs are looking out for themselves, well do whats in the best
interests of Celtic, or Aberdeen or Hearts, only the Hibees i think have come out and
said they dont wont rangers in the SPL. Hun teams like Kilmarnock will vote for them,
Tim teams like Hibs will not, its stupid really, they should do not what is in the best
interests of their respective clubs but what's in the best interests of Scottish football.

No they are not fun to watch especially if you are an England fan it is ninety mins of stomach acid and exstacy, but somehow the most boring team to watch,
Mmmm I would keep the anusol handy if I was you Robbie for when those grapes hit your lower bowel.

Would you care to cite with examples why all the other teams are more fun to watch,
they have chipped in with 5 goals so far which is probably about average.

what i dont understand is, rangers dont exist untill they get permission from the sfa then its the rangers, why on earth are they getting a vote, so they need 7 out of 11 to get straight back in the spl, hibes and saints chairman have said no, if aberdeen and dundee u and hearts vote for them, most fans wont be back. celtic now thats the main problem they cant vote yes or will be a laughing stock after all the shouting they have done about rangers cheating, but if they say no then one of the big bullys will be away leaving them outnumbered. if rangers go to the 3rd or away totally it would be the best thing ever to happen up here, it will be interesting 4th of july

lets see, Germany because they have better and more skilful players,
Portugal because they have better and more skilful players,
Spain because they have better and more skilful players,
the Czech republic, because they have better and more skilful players, and nicer
looking female fans than those fat Englishmen you see with their faces painted red, or
is that the real colour of their faces, hard to tell,

England are a one dimensional team and boring as all get out.

nah, are you kidding, most fans wont be back? why punish Rangers, they have been
punished enough, there is no need to be vindictive. Scottish football will not be the
same without them, not in Glasgow anyway. Rangers cheating is one thing but there is
too much money involved for Celtic and anyway what Celtic say in public and what
happens in private is another thing! Great to see Ross county in the SPL. It would be
funny if rangers went to the third, all their star players playing in cow fields!

would you agree if its was any other team in the spl (apart from the top 2) they would be thrown out months ago, no vote needed, look at livingstone. what punishment have rangers already had? the 10 point deduction was a automatic penalty for entering administration dundee lost 25 points last year. rangers have got to be relegated, kilmarnock owe 13 million, they are ready to copy rangers in the newco route, teams like st johnstone have been up and down alot because we pay our bills. rangers players have already said they wont play in div 3. look at the money we would save on a and e with out old firm games. over 1200 st johnstone fans wont renew season ticket if rangers are allowed straight back in. over 15 000 between dundee u aberdeen and hearts, as well as 40 000 plus from celtic. can u imagine man u or chelsea trying this stunt

yes, but it is Rangers, one of the biggest clubs in the UK, not just Scotland. Kilmarnock
owe 13 million, flip sake, on what? Killie pies? It seems that the intent of the fans is
to relegate them, but its not really the fault of Rangers football club, their players or
their fans, just greedy tools like Murray and Whyte. It also sets a precedent, you
spend all the doe, if your successful, good and well, if your not, you can always go into
administration, thats why the HMRC was so hard on Rangers to make an example and
that's why, although i dont favour it myself, Rangers will be relegated, barring a
miracle, or some skullduggery.

Engalnd are , "one dimensional" Rooney should have earned his place in the team and not just put in the side last night ,apart from the easy goal he was just as bad as the rest . We just cannot keep the ball and give it away far,far to easy .
There is no flair or class in the team what-so-ever ! BUT we are still in it and you never know ,it looks like luck could be on our side (untill we meet Germany ) .
Could be worse if Scotland had qualified ,aload of ginger haired scots blowing up an octopus with susan boyle lookalikes in the crowd ! 🙄🙄

So other than a wish list no comeback then, as for the female fans yeah we like a bit
of colour on our English roses whereas you lot eat porridge in more ways than one,

Yeah they looked one dimensional when they hammered three past Sweden and made France and Ukraine look like wee boys trying to open a door without the key.

Must be a nightmare only having other peoples teams to big up.

More than the actual play is his resiliency after an awful WC showing. He decided to go out and play whereas other players might have seen their careers falter from then on. I have a lot of respect for those who reinvent themselves. Stats may have been better in the two seasons prior, but said stats would be negated by awful WC.

Today's goal celebra ...[text shortened]... unlucky in the goal line controversy. It was about time one like that went in England's favor.
I don't think you can say that he reinvented himself. He gained a little maturity perhaps, nothing more, and it would have been more of a surprise if he hadn't, considering the experiences during the world cup. That said, he missed the first two games of this championship for what may well have been in ill-considered kick at another player. All in all, I really don't see any significant difference in his game or conduct in the last couple of years when compared to the few before that. I've watched most of his games - not because I'm a United fan, just because I enjoy watching football - and I'm struggling a bit to see how you could do a complete 180° like that. You sure it's not a case of you simply recognising that you were in error when you slagged him off before? No shame in admitting a mistake you know.

Personally I try to avoid predicting scores in football matches. I've seen too many good teams losing to lesser opposition and vice-versa to have any confidence in my guesses. I would say that I think that England are capable of winning the competition. Italy have not impressed me so far. Spain have looked good but not unbeatable. The Germans have looked, as usual, professional and slick and I guess I'd pick them as favourites to win, but let's not forget that Greece won it in 2004 - how many non-Greeks had money on that outcome do you think?

Usually I come every July, visit McDiarmid Park for three days and then go up to Scone
for a few days. I would love to come to the chess club. Do you have a bar?
