  1. The gun manufacturers and NRA care more about profit than lives. It's as simple as that. I'm sure I've seen polls that suggest the majority of Americans do want stricter gun control but as long as the lawmakers are in the NRA's pocket it's not going to happen. If it didn't happen after Sandy Hook it's not going to happen after today's latest spree. Their usual line about needing a good man with a gun to take out the bad man with a gun is total nonsense. How is a good man with a gun going to know someone's about to spray a crowd with bullets from the 32nd floor.
  2. Saw him at Hyde Park just a few weeks ago. Can't believe this. Gutted.
  3. I quite like the new points system but £50 for a membership is an absolute joke. There is no need for it to be that high.
  4. Wednesday night was an absolute shambles. There are 2 reasons for playing friendlies. One is to blood new players, the other is to prepare for a match that matters. The Canada game was the latter so Strachan should have been putting out the team he was planning to pick against Slovenia. To rest the Celtic players was a joke. To suggest they can't play Sunday-Wednesday-Sunday is nonsense. I'll be surprised if more than 2 or 3 of the Canada starting XI start against Slovenia. Strachan's post match comments about the players being rusty were just plain wrong. Of the Canada starting XI only Anya, Burke and Martin haven't been starting for their clubs recently. He's either lost the plot or just given up.
  5. Sentiment's got nothing to do with why he should still be in the job. If he's good enough to take them to a title and the last 16 of the Champions League, he's good enough to keep them up. It's a ludicrous decision. He's been badly let down by the players, plus Kante has been a huge loss. He protected what is really a pretty average defence and made them a lot better than they actually are. If this is what money does to football I'm almost glad the Scottish game is skint. I really hope they get relegated now and don't come back up until the current owners are gone. I'd like to think the Leicester fans will boycott home games. Hit the owners in the only place that matters to them, the pocket.
  6. Not sure you can blame Ryan for the loss. Yes he made an error in getting sacked at 28-20 but the holding call helped push them out of field goal range. Ultimately it came down to their defence being unable to stop the Patriots in the 4th quarter and OT.
  7. The day before the White Paper is given to parliament!
  8. 3 goals in his first 2 games for Malagueno
  9. That's different from the stadium plan info the SFA sent out last week. According to that we've also got sections 527-533 in the upper tier.
  10. Just back from the NFL UK Live show at the Usher Hall. Good chat from ex Giant Osi Umenyiora who's working for the BBC this season, but the real stars of the show were ex Bronco safety Nick Ferguson and recently retired Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings. Both natural storytellers. Hosted by Sky's Neil Reynolds and included a Skype link with the guy that presents Red Zone for the NFL Network. Really good night with all the ex pros happy to express opinions without watering them down.
  11. Rhodes doesn't even get off the bench for Boro in the League Cup in a loss to Fulham. Looks like his time's up there.
  12. If that's the interview Cavendish did with the BBC sports correspondent David Bond after the road race he was quite right to be chippy with him. Bond obviously knew nothing about cycling and was asking stupid questions including whether Cavendish was too tired after riding the Tour de France, ignoring the fact that Vinokourov who won the road race had also raced the TDF. Cavendish proved the point by winning a race on the continent the next day.
  13. 1. Celtic 2. Aberdeen 3. Hearts 4. Rangers 5. St Johnstone 6. Thistle 7. Motherwell 8. Ross Co 9. Dundee 10. Killie 11. ICT 12. Accies
  14. Penalties when the games end in a draw because they need results to decide the actual winner of the trophy at the end of it all, except that Man U v Man City being postponed means they can't actually award a trophy!
  15. So when SNP MPs applaud speeches they support and believe in they are reprimanded but when they refuse to be hypocrites and applaud a Prime Minister they disagree with almost 100% they are criticised. What a place Westminster is!
