From BBC rumours -
Rangers are preparing a £200,000 bid to land Malmo striker Daniel Larsson. (Express)£200k strikers for the Third Division?
I thought they could only barely afford Sandaza because of the season ticket sales, now they can afford wages and a 6 figure fee for another striker?0 -
Unless your cycling abroad !!
Don't they have to use proper road rules when in the presence of a Brit? I'm sure they do
Anyway - just back from Edinburgh Bike Co-Op and I'm a wee bit poorer having just ordered this beauty -
Specialised Tricross 2012
When I started cycling last year, I got a Tescos mountain bike from my son and hit the road - and these threads. Before long I had a hankering for a proper bike and ended up buying UTN's Secteur, which has been pretty good I have to say. However, cycling on the main roads can be stressful - some drivers are morons and I've had a few close shaves. The law of averages says I'll come a cropper at some point. The other thing is a road bike is about speed - light as f**k, skinny low resistance tyres and high gearing. That's fine as far as it goes and I tip my hat to those who post some incredible times here but I'm not a speed merchant, more a steady plodder. I also miss being ablo to hit the forest trails and farmtracks that I did on the mountain bike. 35 mph downhill on a roadbike is exhilarating, but so is 25mph down the side of a hill with your legs going through the long grass and trying to avoid nettles.
Road bikes are fast, but flimsy. Mountain bikes are rugged but painfully slow on the road so I've opted for the Tricross, which I'm hoping will be the best of both worlds. I've done a fair bit of reading about them and most of it is positive. Playing with it this morning and comparing it to the Revolutions, I was convinced it's a good bike. Add in that it's reduced by £200 in their sale and .... I collect it on the 4th, ready for the PFS (Challenge Route) on the 9th.
Wahey!!

See while you boys are on the topic of cycling on a road, are there any websites or anything that give beginners advice or is it just a case of going out and learning as you go?
I've aquired a bike to see how I get on before I spend good money on it but I'm a little apprehensive about cycling on the road as a non driver.
Best advice I got on here is if you're doing circular routes, go anti-clockwise as this makes things easier at junctions and roundabouts.

Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Op have a sale on just now with some good bargains. Going to have a look tomorrow

Ritchie should apologise to the board for bringing the club into disrepute and to the fans for embarrassing us.
Wish I was in the main stand tomorrow to give the ridiculous little man a piece of my mind

Aye, it's a shock to the system seeing the prices.

I get bored of running and hitting the gym, so I decided to splash a few quid on a mountain bike. Plumped for this one. Aye it was cheap, but it is a pretty good bike as far as I can tell, does everything I need. I took it out for the first time this morning and covered about 22 miles to get used to it (and because I was blowing about my arse after about 10
). The objective now is to up the fitness, leg strength and the miles I cover every Sunday. I felt decent when I got done, stepped off the bike and was walking like pished tramp. My legs were like rubber......still enjoyed it mind you.Och just you wait, you'll be looking at road bikes before you know it
By ra way, have we all signed up for the Pedal for Scotland event again?

Had a look at my bike and it is completely fucked. In general. So i am just going to get a new one.
Can anyone recommend a decent bike. It'll be used on roads, pavements and dirtpaths, red ash etc.
Thanks
You could do worse than look at a cyclocross. That's what I'm seriously considering at the moment.

So by the rules Sevco should have been made to play in Peterhead's away strip?
If there is a God, it'll have been green.

Is it? the records been pretty much spot on throughout this whole affair,
Spot on? The backward illiterate fucks can't even get a comma in the right place.

I will go with 'C'....
It is just the Scottish clubs that were meant to be squared away plus fines. But that is way more than a 1/2 million.
Well according to the offishul Duff & Phelps creditor's report, Hearts alone were owed £800,000
0 -
From the DR,
How much did they owe Hearts? And Thursday? I bet it was all in cash too...........
According to Duff & Duffer, they had over £1,000,000 in football debts not including fines.

So Green's a liar or Duff & Duffer are liars.
Or they're all liars, take yer pick.

From the Snday Fail via the BBC -
"Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels says there must be a second tier of the Scottish Premier League established next season, with Rangers playing in it as the Ibrox club should be competing against "professional people" and not "part-timers such as Albion Rovers and Stranraer".I nominate him for "p***k of the Week"

Didn't Sevco have to agree to liability for Oldco's transgressions before the SFA would grant membership?
0 -
Wasn't Friday the absolute, carved in stone, can't be changed deadline for Sevco's membership of the SFA to be approved?
Apologies if I missed the announcement, this thread bored the shit out of me when it got into the religious crap.

I'm not devoted to my opinions kiddo. If I were, I might have chosen to follow a team that suitably represented those views: as Kincardine claims to do with his cheerleading for Protestant Williamite Unionism. Last I checked, Greenock Morton have no dog in that utterly irrelevant, outdated fight.
I don't find the second part to be an even remotely acceptable definition of the word: it seems your cursory grab for Wiktionary has misled and failed you. As it happens, I am in the position to throw stones: Sevco fans are bigots. I know Sevco fans are bigots because they have wilfully associated with an institution steeped in bigotry since its creation. In addition, their fanbase revels in and actively promotes a sectarian agenda whenever they congregate. Sevco fans who plead innocent are much like Ku Klux Klan members claiming they're not racist... honest guv'... I was just into the secret meetings and the white hood...
You're not fooling anyone here, and neither is Kincardine with his litany of mewling deflections and hilarious 300-year-old agenda.
Well said.

It's almost as if they want to be thrown out of Scottish football.

Although, when they were interviewing porn king/tax adviser Paul Baxendale-Walker, you could see a large collection of sex toys in the background.
That's being rather rude towards the Sevco squad isn't it?
Rude, but accurate.
