Nice to have football back again :thumbsup:

Burnley vs Bolton live on SS1 just now and has been a very good game so far - plenty of nice flowing football.

Still 0-0

[Sylar]

Burnley 1-1 Bolton

Great ebb and flow to this.

Poor show from Bolton not been able to fill the seats behind the goal. Must be only 45 mins down road.

There were enough empty seats at today's game for you to lay down and get a full 90 minutes kip, rather than sleep sitting up as you usually do at the footy. :wink:

Louis Tomlinson, one of the five singers in One Direction, is on the bench for Doncaster today apparently...

Gerrards testimonial, finished 2-0 against Olympiakos. Allen and Henderson the scorers.

I looked online and it hasn't got him in match day squad at all? Sky sports app & bbc

Extremely bizarre but an incredible publicity stunt, the money they're going to make off of this...

Edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23475003 Not sure being on the bench is true going by this.

who can Charles Green blame for this? :greengrin

[Keith_M]

I'm concerned, the season's only just started and we're already down to 8th place.

Worrying times indeed.

[Hainan Hibs]

Have to hope for a Killie win, they must be one of the potential contenders for getting caught by hearts. An 18 point gap would be lovely after week 1.

[Bad Habits]

Martin Scott puts Livi 1-0 up

[Keith_M]

Aberdeen leading 1-0



Jonny Hayes

[YehButNoBut]

Sheep 1up over Killie

According to Wolves forum Griffiths has started, wonder why he is not listed on many of the sites

[Spike Mandela]

Extremely early days but Aberdeen sounding good.

[Wee Kev]

Not even on the subs bench today for wolves

[Keith_M]

That's because he's on the pitch.

[Hibbyradge]

That's because he's on the pitch.

:faf:

[Pretty Boy]

Most of the score sites and news sources get their info from the AP. If they have ****ed up the Wolves team then that's why most other sites will be.

He's not fit enough yet and not even at the ground today.

Dickov was talking on Sky about it earlier. I think some of the money is going to Charity.

[Barney McGrew]

They're bound to have a decent season eventually. Looks like they have themselves a decent manager this time round though.

[R'Albin]

That's because he's on the pitch.

:hilarious

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Martin Scott puts Livi 1-0 up

We should never have let him go, hounded out the club, blah, blah, blah!

[JohnStephens91]

Dickov was talking on Sky about it earlier. I think some of the money is going to Charity.

It was reported by a journalist on Twitter before the game he was there, just had a look and he's not there. I'm happy at that too, despite it being to promote a charity, but for a professional to be potentially ousted in favour of a singer of a pop group seems pretty shabby. He was included in the squad list on the back of the programme too.

[archiebald]

No LG listed on any team sheets :confused:

I agree with this, it undermines credibility - but there is a time and a place for clubs to do things like this pre-season or when there are periods of downtime in the season to try and attract fans or get some money for charities.

I noted Daniel Sloss was offered the same chance at East Fife (which was tongue in cheek) - I played against him this season in a friendly game and he's a decent footballer actually but not pro level. It was a game that also told me that now in my early 40's I am also heading in 'one direction' and that's to the sidelines/subs bench or A&E :greengrin

[Keith_M]

He's at East Mains agreeing terms with Petrie.

[TAHibby]

My understanding is that he'll only feature in a reserve game for charity, not going to be seeing him in the first team anytime soon! Think there's been a bit of overreaction surrounding it all tbh.

[Haymaker]

Aye but the club is keeping the money from all the shirts they are suddenly selling to teenage girls! Clever move in my book.

[Pretty Boy]

2-0 Aberdeen and 2-0 ICT.

[YehButNoBut]

Most of the score sites and news sources get their info from the AP. If they have ****ed up the Wolves team then that's why most other sites will be.

I'm just hoping he has a nightmare August for them, doesn't score a goal, plays crap, get's sent off and does :giruy: to the fans.

After a month like that they'll then offload him sharpish back to Edinburgh. :greengrin

[blackpoolhibs]

2-0 Aberdeen and 2-0 ICT.

So what, what we really need to know is, has anyone spotted Leigh Griffiths?

[lord bunberry]

Rob Jones scores for Doncaster

[Biggie]

Forfar 1 up vs the rangers....lol

[Hibs7]

Dons 2 Killie 1 Boyd

[Keith_M]

So what, what we really need to know is, has anyone spotted Leigh Griffiths?


He's on the bus to East Mains. He wanted a taxi but Petrie's paying for the transport costs.

[greenlex]

Is Griffiths playing? Not quoted it seems.

[frazeHFC]

Updates are terrible at the moment. BBC still says 1-0 and 0-0 for SPL on mine, despite that changing about 20 minutes ago. Also vidiprinter on Sky Sports is broke. :O


Jeff Stelling there. :rotflmao:

[YehButNoBut]

Rangers equalise 1-1 now

[lapsedhibee]

D Lyle appears to have scored six times in ten mins for QoS (on the BBC site, so may be pish).

It's only 3-0, problems on BBC site

[Treadstone]

Just seen the Jags-Arabs brief highlights. Craig Thomson WTF ?

That is all.

[BarneyK]

Just had a look myself - the second Butcher challenge is a shocker, and a red card on its own merits, never mind following on from the laddie getting a yellow minutes earlier. Bizarre. :rolleyes:

[brian6-2]

Leigh played on the left wing for Wolves today, and he started.

[BoltonHibee]

Any chance of some scores, god knows what's going on with the Sky app.

SPL, Huns and Championship

1-0 Ross county

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1 0 Ross Co.

[YehButNoBut]

Ross County 1 up at Parkhead :thumbsup:

Still 1-1 Forfar v Rangers into 2nd half of ET

[TAHibby]

Brilliant goal from Maatson for County!

[Wotherspiniesta]

Absolute rocket! County been much the sharper.

[soupy]

Gone the birdies :-)

[Thecat23]

It's good to see Celtic losing but if I'm honest I'd rather teams like County didnt get a result at Darkhead. Celtic will still win the league so everyone is battling for 2nd.

The more teams taking points of them the harder for us to catch these teams. So for me as much as I can't stand that mob hope they win.

[lord bunberry]

Absolute rocket! County been much the sharper.

Can I be the first to say how can we not play like that

[YehButNoBut]

Forfar now 2-1 up over Rangers 13 mins ET left:thumbsup:

[Wotherspiniesta]

Can I be the first to say how can we not play like that

We most definately can play like that. Lets just see what happens tomorrow before we start sticking in the boot already eh?

[Wotherspiniesta]

Forfar now 2-1 up over Rangers 13 mins ET left:thumbsup:

FT Forfar win 2-1, McCoist must go :lolrangers:

Green tells McCoist: this season, you need to win league...and a cup

Charles Green has told Rangers boss Ally McCoist that simply winning the league will not be enough this season.

McCoist delivered the Third Division title last term and is under pressure to win the new Scottish League 1 this time.

But former chief executive Green - who is to return to Rangers as a consultant - believes the Light Blues boss must also win one of the cups.

Speaking as Gers prepare to take on Forfar in the Scottish League Cup, Green said: "This year is a different year. He has had a pre-season and he has been able to sign players.

"Ally has got to win the league - and got to win a cup. That's the stark reality of life.

"Ally is a fantastic guy. He is brilliant with the players, fans and media.

"But first and foremost, a manager has to win matches and has to win competitions.

"He knows he has to win the league and, in my opinion, has to win a cup as well. If he doesn't do that, he has a problem."

Green's return was announced hours before it was revealed that a group of shareholders want the removal of key board members, including new CEO Craig Mather.

Green added: "What is happening now is not what Rangers need. Rangers need stability. If I can help with the stability, I will."

The Huns must be utter garbage.

[YehButNoBut]

Monaco v Spurs friendly just kicking off on ITV4 if anyone looking for a game to watch

Abidal playing for Monaco after leaving Barca, now 16 months since his liver transplant, good luck to him.

[Wotherspiniesta]

I was being sarcastic mate, I'm on my phone so I can't add a smiley

Fair enough mate, just getting a bit tired of folk slating the team. The domestic season isn't even underway yet and already folk are using any excuse to criticise.

FWIW, I think the tactics County have used so far are spot on and we should be adapting similar tactics tomorrow. Press them high and fast from the off and test their reactions after what would have been a hard 90 mins midweek for them. If that means being tired come 65-70 minutes then so be it, hopefully we'll have a goal or two to show for it by then.

[Pretty Boy]

The Huns must be utter garbage.

It's all an anti Protestant conspiracy at the heart of the SPFL.

Or so i've been told anyway.

[Hibs90]

This is brilliant;

On the day that former chief executive Charles Green, having returned to Ibrox, piled pressure on manager Ally McCoist by demanding the lifting of a cup as well as the League One title, Rangers are out of the League Cup after being beaten by Forfar

[GreenCastle]

Zombies out the League Cup already! :greengrin

[Spike Mandela]

Bet Sooooper Ally is luvin having him back at the club...

They've added an "F" this season.

Everyone knows what that stands for.

I totally agree with you

[Allant1981]

just shows how bad a manager mccoist is, even without all his trialists he should have been able to put out a team to beat forfar, love it!!

[adhibs]

Wassnt aware it was the league cup and no the ramsdens untill now, ****ing delighted haha.

Super ally!

[YehButNoBut]

Never mind Ally there's still the Ramsdens Cup :greengrin

Season is starting in a very pleasing manner

[Hermit Crab]

Celtic 1-1 Ross County.

[brydekirk]

Haha, McCoist blames Charles Greens comments for today's defeat.

[sixtwo]

Sevco fans said theyd win everything:na na:

id love to see them here in the Scottish cup ! We'd hammer them!
Theyd attempt a boycott and take only the lower away end and we'd intimidate them like they try to do to every other team. It would be an electric atmosphere at ER

I think they will improve when their summer signings get to play.

Reckon that fat barsteward McCoist will be out a job sooner rather than later.

Shame for the fat prick.

Celtic winning. Good I reckon. Let them get on with it.

Are they? beeb and sky showing live as 54 mins in...must be a glitch..

Hoped they would get beat as well

[Jim44]

Celtic winning. Good I reckon. Let them get on with it.

We want to see our rivals losing points to Celtic but the Jambos will spend the season supporting Celtic to make their -15 points easier to cope with.

[NOLA]

monaco now 5-1 over spurs

[lapsedhibee]

Tottingham in grave danger of dying as a club, as they're 5-1 down to Monaco.

Maybe Hearts could do something to save them, like they saved all the big English clubs in WW1.

[bigwheel]

Stokes is some finisher ..if he played every week he would score over 30 goals this season ...

[HibeeMassive]

Are they? beeb and sky showing live as 54 mins in...must be a glitch..

They won 2-1, stokes double

5-2 now monaco

[Pete]

Maybe Hearts could do something to save them, like they saved all the big English clubs in WW1.

One club has players who are a lot more expensive than the other one so 5-1 isn't a surprise.

However, the money Monaco have spent actually exists, unlike some other clubs who have "purchased" such victories.

[SaulGoodman]

5-2 now monaco

Phew, Tottenham will be glad Monaco didn't kill them as a club there.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

I'd love to have seen his face, along with McDowell and Durrant's at full time today.
Stuffed from those heavyweights from Forfar....tee hee :)

They must be getting used to it by now, last season they were stuffed by Stirling Albion, Annan Athletic & Peterhead. :lolrangers:
