Belfast Boy

Going back to the talk of colours they both played in, I take it is because of old regional conflicts. Obviously Holland had King William of Orange (King Billy to the Norn Iron members) and I believe Blue was the colour of the house of Savioa in Italy, who ruled Italy back in the 1800's.

Papers in Dublin this morning saying Jack Charlton is going to sort out all Gazza's problems, by taking him fishing.

Is that the plan? To put the family enclosure inbetween the singing section and the away fans? Absolute madness if it is.

With Carver there, it seems like an ideal opportunity to set up a link between the two clubs. Somewhere to offload the likes of Ameobi, Duff, Smith etc aswell as a place to send some of the kids such as Edgar to get experience.

So I guess Belleti took his then?

He's a great goalscorer and is certainly not fat, but neither is he the first ever person to lose his mum.

How many goals did we score all season? Two midfielders here have 62 between them!

Interesting camera angle there.

How did Carrick not score?

Does Drogba not get the fact that he is on tv, and we can all see there is nothing wrong?

Set up nicely now this game, boiling up too. Can't see 22 finishing.

I'd love to see Scholes unable to continue. Hate the little ****.

It will certainly confuse the vast majority of the media and radio shows who keep referring to Ashley as our chairman.

If he gets homesick in Stoke he's hardly going to go to Toronto is he.

I'm no fan of either set of old firm fans but I think considering what happened with the screens not working, things could have gone a lot worse than they did. Imagine after all the hype of so many travelling down, the all day drinking, then suddenly not being able to see the game, there could easily have been full scale riots, which it seems there haven't been. And as for the litter, did you expect them all to take it home with them?

A little ironic isn't it? Complaining that the screen isn't currently working by throwing bottles at it and trying to break it?

Ah ok, anyway, how old is Darchville now? I remember him being crap for Forest years ago.

I'm still none the wiser!

Stat just on, Rangers have only won 2 of their last 12 UEFA cup matches. This game desperately needs a Zenit goal.

When did Allardyce take over at Rangers? Are they really playing for penalties?

I agree, far too much white on it.

Looks more like a cricket shirt or even a 10 pin bowling one.

Thats a big blow for the lad. He was settling nicely into the reserves and would have been looking to make the bench next season.

I know I would 'settle' for coming 5th the next 3 years.

It cracks me up that there are so many people on here who think Gattuso is no longer good enough for us, yet at the same time there are those wanting Jimmy Bullard.
