As much as you want to believe, it actually won't
Bear* in mind that your opinion on a situation almost certainly won’t accurately reflect all Rangers fans (and possibly not even Rangers fans in general))
* No pun originally intended but I’m pleased with it nonetheless

Yes. Barca's cap is €200 million, vastly lower than Real Madrid's. They're currently at about €400 million, meaning they can only sign players if they offload an existing player, and they can only pay the incoming player 25% of the what the outgoing player was on.
Presumably once they move back into the new camp nou ("camp nou nou"?) their turnover will rise and so will their cap

Yes Sibbick (checked Google)reminded me of Brian Reid back in the day the way he strolled about.
He's only an inch taller than Rowles
Then again if you'd written "the black centre half" instead of "the big centre half" it would have been less ambiguous but far more awkward
So it's probably for the best

Never in doubt. Not for a fraction of a split-second were the Good Guys (Hearts) in danger of anything other than a comfortable victory.
What an embarrassment Morton are. Chucking themselves to the floor at every opportunity, praying for throw-ins to fling aimlessly towards their cast of lumbering oafs in the box. Hopefully they can be retrospectively ejected from the Scottish Cup for sullying it with their odious presence. DELIGHTED that I can once again forget that they exist.
Careful now

Morton may be better than Motherwell but they’re just not in the same class as Brora Rangers

Bringing back replays with the exception of ties where one or both of the teams are still involved in European competition would seem a sensible compromise between competing interests

Get him to the glue factory. Shouldn’t play for us again.
I take it this means he's basically like Paul Dalglish or Jordi Cruyff

For the record, I hope he's out.
Hubris aside, the prospect of Toby Sibbick starting in defence for Hertz vs any competent striker gives me the fear.
If Hearts go with the same team that faced Celtic, with Gordon in for Clark and Tait in for Nieuwenhof, I'd be happy.
Oakley and Sibbick were briefly at AFC Wimbledon together in 2017
Oakley left for Inverness not long after Sibbick moved up from Wimbledon's U18s. They didn't play together but they did sit on the same subs bench0 -

I’ve said this a few times but this thread is further proof that Celtic fans will always have that inferiority complex when it comes to Rangers.
Anything other than winning every single domestic game or domestic trophy clearly leaves them feeling second best to Rangers, despite the whole death/Newco scenario.

These aren't mutually exclusive propositions
I'm not a qualified ethnosociologist but given that Rangers and Celtic are generally draped in Irish Culture from Shamrocks to Orange shirts to folk tunes it's probably possible to link this collective insecurity down to the sense of not quite belonging that can happen even in Nth generation immigrant communitiesAberdeen might be having a shit season at the moment but at least they know they're Aberdonians.

Pretty sure it’s averaged out over a few years anyway? It’s not like one bad season means you’re in the shit.
I’m sure Everton fans will be all over it though with their whole innocent victims thing.
It is averaged out but it’s not as if they’ve been anywhere near breaking even up to now

Why? It says in the post that Chelsea lost 90.1 million - that will be well within the sustainability margins. For all Chelsea's crazy spending, they always manage to sell off academy graduates for decent money, and those players aren't amortised in the same way signings are so they make decent "profits" on them as far as the books go. Amortising the big spends over 7, 8 or even 9 years will also help and now the PL have banned that, nobody else can do it. The issue they'll have will be in a few years if they can't sell any more academy graduates or they can't recoup any of the fees they've laid out on the likes of Caicedo, Fernandez, etc.
Amortising the spend on transfers will be why it’s only £90m for one year
however not all the loss will actually count for profit and sustainability purposes. Losses that are attributed things like infrastructure investment and running the women’s team can be ignored so their effective loss for P&S will be smaller
Everton’s unadjusted numbers were on a similar scale to Chelsea’s for multiple years
So this season alone probably doesn’t land them in trouble but they lost money in previous years so it leaves them in a very difficult situation with little room to manoeuvre and a bunch of players nobody els wants to sign, commanding wages nobody else wants to pay

Nah...Our only 2 defeats in the last 5 have been at Hibs and Celtic so hardly shockers. Other games were 2 wins and 1 draw.

Hibs got it once for porteous I think too. It’s a very selective process
I was looking to see whether we'd appealed against the VAR Driven upgrade of Cochrane's yellow to a red in last May's home game against Celtic and apparently we didn't partly because we'd just seen Aberdeen punished for a "Frivolous appeal" on behalf of Graeme Shinnie from a game against Ross county

I would hope that some allowance is made for those of us with variable health conditions for whom it's often a last minute decision.
Otherwise I'm going to have to scan my dads ticket, spin the turnstile, and then scan mine before I go in
