For the duration of the rat's short tenure at Ibrox, I will be cheering on Celtic and hoping they stuff the huns every single time. |

He's already been mentioned, but I'm going for Dominic Iorfa.
To this day, I'm still convinced he'd never played football before stepping onto Loftus Road. By the law of averages he must have found himself onside at least once, even if by accident. But no, never ever ever. |

I'm missing the point or the govt is missing the point?
Because I agree with you, which is why I was asking why the govt is making it about class. |

Yep, exactly this. Coke use is endemic in every section of British society, but not a single govt spokesperson can say "Coke user" without inserting "middle class" in front of it. It's clearly a deliberate tactic.
I suspect its yet another example of this govts never ending culture war, pitting people against each other, cuz that's all they got. |

I'm not knocking Fulham because I've no real grievance or hatred for them, but it seems to me that while their home gate has gone up quite a lot in recent years, they've also become one of the default grounds for tourists who wanna see a game in London.
Hence why there may be a much bigger discrepancy between home and away followings. . . or I could be completely wrong.
Maybe Konk can give us a Fulham fan's perspective? |

Me + 2. Looking forward to it. Should be a great day and we might even get a result. |

Who the hell hates Wycombe??? I doubt I've wasted more than 3 seconds thinking about them in my entire life. I can't imagine they were ever Rangers local rivals, so what's the story?
Anyway, I still hate Chelsea. The hatred isn't as strong as it used to be. I have friends and family who fell to the dark side, so I accept that not all of them are racist bellends. But I still want them to lose, for a lot of reasons. But mainly for Tim Lovejoy. |

It's settled then. We're dismantling the system and remaking it in the most democratic way possible. . . As soon as Rangers get past the Wendies. . . In fact, probably best to wait until tomorrow, as it's a bit grim outside. |

Brian - as you've lived in UK and Ireland, which system do you think is more representational? and which one works best? |

Dredd - taut, pacy, ultra violent and featuring an invented drug, slo-mo, that actually looks kinda cool.
Prometheus - loads of Alien fanboys hated it, but I thought the story line was much better than another Alien rehash.
Superbad - 'McLovin', nuff said. |

I should probably pay more attention in future
Anyway, I think we'll be lucky to get Field. I think he'd prefer to be back at West Brom and they'll need him in the Championship.
Charlie will be off to whatever Championship team is willing to risk their finances on him. Again, I think this probably excludes Rangers, which in the long term is a good thing - not that it will hurt any less when he scores against us. |

TBH the only loanee I think we have a chance of landing permanently is Johansen. And only if Fulham survive the drop.
Baggies are almost certainly down so they'll want Field back and in the team, and they'll want to sell Charlie for as much as they can get, which almost certainly excludes us.
This is our reality these days. Once we have that fine paid off, and we're in our new 35k, state-of-the-art stadium, things will change. Right? |

Then I guess it would have to be separate elections for the HoC and the second chamber - as happens in other countries.
Either way it would involve a complete overhaul of the electoral system. Not a small job, but the alternative is keeping with the current system. Forever. |

Sooner or later this country needs to move on. We're not an imperial power any more, we're a medium to big European country (whether people like this reality or not, it is reality). To do this we really need to get rid of a lot of the 'traditions' that are holding us back. The Royal family is one of them.
If it was up to me, we'd have proportional representation, an elected second chamber and we'd remove all hereditary titles - not just the royals but the aristocracy as well. I'd update the honours system so it was transparent, so it wasn't given for political favours and had no mention of empire. I'd also amend the law around media ownership, to try and ensure that the press is obliged to tell the truth, whilst allowing them to remain partisan.
As for Head of State, I guess we need it. There has to be checks and balances on the Govt. This is where it gets tricky though - we're consistently told the Queen has no actual powers and is completely impartial. If this is the case, how can she possibly be acting as a check?
If she really has no power, and we're happy for the Head of State to merely be a ceremonial position, then this person could just be appointed. Of course, it would have to be a robust process to ensure that it doesn't just become a political appointment, but it could work. If we want the Head of State to have actual power, then it should be an elected position.
Either way, I sincerely hope that something happens in my lifetime (I won't be holding my breath) as living in this country sometimes feels like being suffocated by history. |

Gazza / Essex: what we really want to know is. . .
Are either of you a shape shifting lizard?
If yes, where do you go to get your human skin? Is there a lizard centre somewhere that fits you out with everything you need to fit in with people? |

Surely it's only a matter of time before the FA give him the Spanish Archer. Baffles me how he ever got the job in the first place. I appreciate the U21 coach doesn't require an outstanding career pre-appointment, but he was always rubbish. Not even mediocre. Just absolute, pure 100% crap.

Can anyone explain what the deal is with the Leeds love-in. Seems a valid question with them currently 2 down at the hammers. But the way some commentators go on, it's like Leeds have reinvented football, when they're actually just another mid table premier League team.
They'll probably produce a miraculous comeback now 😠|

In the 6-0 game vs Chelsea in '86 the players were knocking a load of balls around before kick off. One rolled to me by the halfway line in the paddock. I eagerly picked it up and threw it back on just as the ref was about to start the game. Doug Rougvie gave me evils. . . so I ran on the pitch and smashed his f*ck***g face in.
I might have imagined the last part. |

I actually think Sibley getting out could be a good thing. I think England will want to up the run rate a bit tomorrow and I reckon that might have left him in two minds: "do I play like I did yesterday, or do I try and hit it?"
Now, there's no issue. Big hitters in after him so they're used to putting pressure on the bowlers. Perfect opportunity for Buttler to knock off a quick half century - here's hoping he takes it as he's been given more chances than most. |
