SEMTEX Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 RBNY are really not a good side, having seen them at shitbull arena. Unfortunately, the benefit of them being mid-season (and match fit) may do a job at making them look competent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 BILLIONAIRE Toon owner Mike Ashley is handing staff almost £90m of his sportswear firm’s profits after the business bucked the high street trend. Retail giant Sports Direct, which has 15 stores across the North East, announced underlying profits of £200.4m today, with thousands of staff in line for a share of the cash. The group exceeded its expectations and met tough targets for the second year running. Around 2,000 staff will now get a share payout averaging £30,960 as Newcastle United fans wait to see how proceeds from the £35m sale of striker Andy Carroll will be spent. It also emerged this week that golfer Lee Westwood is in line for a £2m bonus from Mr Ashley if he wins the British Open, which starts today. Among the favourites for the title, Westwood is sponsored by Dunlop, one of Sports Direct’s main brands. The amount Sports Direct staff will receive for this year’s trading is on top of a sum of more than £10,000 for the previous year’s results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 0858: FOOTBALL - BBC Sport's John Sinnott reports that Wales could be a bottom seed for the World Cup qualifying draw after being overtaken in the rankings by the Faroe Islands. :lol: Edit: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14143711.stm Wales could face a nightmare World Cup qualifying draw because the Faroe Islands seem to have overtaken them. The 30 July draw in Rio de Janeiro will be based on Fifa's rankings system, calculated by a complex formula. Wales are tied with the Faroes on 273 points - with one of those teams set to join the likes of Andorra in pot six. And the Faroe Islands are lobbying Fifa to include decimal points in their calculations - something which would see them leapfrog Wales into pot five. The Faroes' coach, the former Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr, told BBC Sport: "Decimal points will have to be taken into consideration. Our general secretary has had a verbal confirmation with someone in Fifa that our calculations were correct. "They [Fifa] were surprised that any country could work [the ranking points] out so accurately - they hadn't come across that in the past." Current Fifa rankings do not recognise the small decimal difference between countries, keeping Wales in pot five and the Faroes in the sixth pot of seeds. Being relegated to pot six - along with Andorra and San Marino - would make Wales's task of qualifying for Brazil 2014 even more difficult. Fifa will publish its new ranking list on 27 July, three days before the World Cup draw. Given that neither Wales nor the Faroe Islands played in July their position should not change. "The teams are tied in 114th place and have been placed in the list on Fifa.com in alphabetical order," said Fifa in a statement. "This is simply the standard way of listing the teams which are tied. "We are not in a position to speculate on the potential difference of decimal points. "What we can confirm is that the change has been done on Fifa.com due to teams that are tied being listed in alphabetical order. Other teams were also tied and not listed in alphabetical order, something which has now been corrected. "The draw procedure, as well as the pot allocations, will only be announced on 27 July." The whole affair has led Kerr to call for greater "transparency" from Fifa in the way rankings are calculated. Continue reading the main story We know with other aspects of Fifa's dealings it's not always transparent. Brian Kerr Faroe Islands coach "We don't know if it was an error or if Fifa ignored the differential and were hoping that neither country would take too much notice before the final draw," said Kerr. "We know with other aspects of Fifa's dealings [that] it's not always transparent. I'm surprised that even after they changed the list last week that they didn't make any comment. "They have to have a protocol to decide which teams are ahead of each other where the margins are so small and the consequences are serious for both countries. "If Wales end up in the bottom pot they are quite capable of winning games. "But for the Faroe Islands (to be promoted to pot five) it would mean we might be able to play against a side of a similar population and that would give us a chance of winning a game both home and away which hasn't been the case in the past." The fact that the Faroe Islands should be 0.7 points better off than Wales in the rankings was initially spotted by a 30-year-old Romanian computer programmer, Eduard Ranghiuc, who runs a football ranking website.
