More than £80,000? A touch of journalistic licence, surely. Although the article requires one small correction: "revitalise his career" should read "go out on the piss incessantly with his England squad chums"

The Gallowgate expansion isn't so much part of the strategy, more a practical consideration. Once there are hotels, conference centres and the like on the Metro car park then further development of the Gallowgate end would be a logistical nightmare. It makes sense both financially and in terms of the engineering to 'set up site' once with plenty of space to work in (especially for plant access and the like which can be an expensive headache on a city centre job). Sooner or later, we'll be better than we are now and we'll probably shift those seats. So based on a reasonable long-term expectation, the club are right to strike while the iron is hot off the pitch if not on it.

I would have thought any personal liability is small due to the club being a limited company. It's interesting though about trading while insolvent. If a director knowingly trades while insolvent and a creditor is refused payment, he can seek personal recompense from the directors. The 'limited' nature of the company as a seperate legal entity ceases at this point. The Smash Robot will be able to explain it far better than I could.

I guess he means trading insolvently, whereby directors can become personally laible for debts of the company.

The article does gloss over the fact that Pattison played a few games last season, and looked a lot sharper than he has this term.

Deverdics signed for Gretna last week.

There's no harm in having a couple of extra options from set pieces. I'd sooner see us launch it than do our usual trick of throwing it short, getting under pressure and putting it out for a throw to the opposition.

Easily Kluivert for me. A lot of the players listed played below their potential- but Kluivert was clearly still capable of doing the business. However he couldn't be arsed, cleared out every Greggs in town and lost his place. A total waste.

Taylor looks on in horror as the players handle the ball but but fail to roll around in agony.

Very roughly- Milburn 12,000 (lower) 8,000 (L7)= 19,000 East Stand- 5,000 Leazes- 9,000 (lower) 7,000 (L7) (incl corners)=16,000 Gallowgate 12,000 (incl corners) Total- 52,000 They'll be a couple of thousand out here and there.

He was booked for complaining that the ref didn't add on extra time when Given took an age over a goal kick.

No it's not...... "Admission charges on the night at the East Stand Turnstiles will be £3.00 Adults and £1.50 Concessions. Season Ticket holders do not get in free for this game"

Classic. So let's get this right. Every time you have an opinion on something you should always make sure you tell the person up front? I think Pete Docherty's a twat, but I've never told it to his face, I'm just hiding behind a PC. What a spanner. Yep it's season-ticket holding clowns like me who are dragging the club down while troglodytes who can do nothing other than slag off all and sundy are the bedrock on which this club resides. 'Background and situations' have nothing to do with it. That said, it's NOTHING compared to the charvas that were on the bus. Of course, I can't express an opinion on them as I didn't let them know to their faces that I thought they formed a perfect image of all that is wrong with society.

Had a belter up in level seven. Massive meathead with his tracksuited retard children. "How man, get it up, pass it forward you cowards"- any time any player did anything other than a huge punt up. "Get the centre halves up front man"- with 15 mins to go. Spastic.

I heard the guy it was somewhere in the SE corner but I didn't see where. Police presence on the access instantly doubled.

Trying to get the gist of it from gazzetta.it , but it seems that they had gone off to fetch the balls, while the others went back for another session out of sight. When they hadn't returned for some time the alarm was raised. They'd gone out in a small boat but it looks like one fell in after losing balance as he reached for a ball. The other then attempted to save him but failed. Turin can get extremely cold at this time of year and if the water was freezing then there is every choice they could have both suffered cardiac problems, especially if they were hot from training. Just as that lad from North Shields who died in Cambridge who fell in the Cam.

That's assuming that there is some reason why modern standing enclosures (such as the once pictured) are more dangerous than seating areas. Why would a club suddenly become at risk of being sued? No more than if I fell down over the top of a row of seats in their current arrangement. Modern standing areas should not be compared to the inherently dangerous methods employed in the past.

He's bald, he's French, he cost us fifty pence, Sibio, Sibio.

The Football League is working quite well without them. While a lot of clubs still struggle financially, gates are still strong across the divisions, espeically when compared to equivalent leagues abroad. This smacks of further big-gun-centric movement in football.

Heard that one in there! The barman there gave out free shots for everyone, which was handy.

Is one of those Sams in Sachsenhausen? That was a wierd place. The Bigg Market meets Pippi Longstocking.

I think our problem was that the fans were split over 2 tiers. I couldn't hear the upper tier much and they probably couldn't hear us (not just because we weren't singing before anyone gets clever).

There was such a sense of disappointment when someone went through and it was open. Marko- my mate was the one who caught the 'faller', or at least slowed his progress to the floor. O'Reilly's shut at 4.30am on Friday/Saturday. We need more pubs like that. Just not as pricey.

A guy in the Euro away shirt nearly died when he put one foot on the table, then his other foot down over the ledge, resulting in him meeting the floor with great speed.

Aside from the fact Zoggy should be out-and-out first choice and should have been at the start of the season, I'd have to pick Duff. My prime reason is that he can occasionally beat a man and not slip and fall over. Something Luque is getting good at. Are Castrol his boot sponsors? Luque might play OK against sides in the UEFA Cup but he is lost in the league. He just does not have the attributes to cut it. He's the sort of player who wants time on the ball before he decides what to do. You don't get that sort of time in the PL. It's something Martins has had to get to grips with and has done so better than Luque. So Duff for me, on account that he at least knows what to do, even though his application and end product have been pretty poor thus far.
