Alphas Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Do you think Faddy will get much a look in now? Levin doesnt seem to like him that much and they fell out last year didnt they? Shame, on his day he was a Scotland talisman, just never quite got there at club level on a regular basis.If he is going to improve the squad I'd like to think he would but it all depends on who he signs for and how he returns from injury. Having a creative player up top would be a big asset to us and is perhaps something we are lacking. He was always better for his country so whether he can play well enough a club level to deserve a call up is another thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also nice to see United stick to our guns and not just accept any old firm bet.Absolutely. Rangers have been due a reality check for a while. A massive tax bill doesn't just disappear and simply saying "but we're Rangers" is no substitute for actually paying the asking price. Up yours, Rangers.

Captain America Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Rangers and Dundee United in row over striker David Goodwillie as SEVENTH Ibrox transfer bid is rejected - The Daily RecordHilariously shit article from the Daily Rangers basically saying it's ridiculous we didn't accept one of their SEVEN (for some reason the writer keeps putting bits in block capitals) offers.We were offered more money and they still except us to accept offers of less money in installments over 3 years?Pathetic journalism can't believe they even put it on their website.

Lemonade Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Gotta love them crazy Argentinians. River Plate get relegated from their top league for the first time in history, so the Argentinian FA rush through a proposal to merge the top division and the 1st division to save River Plate's skin, and now they're kicking off next season with a 38 team league. Argentinian football is fucking nuts.But a switch of national team coach is far from being the most significant change taking place in Argentine football as a result of the fact that Grondona is seeking another term.Electoral year also provides the backdrop for the plan to merge Argentina's first and second divisions into a giant 38-team structure in a new-look league to kick off in a year's time.The immediate suspicion raised was that this is a manoeuvre to reinstate River Plate in the first division.The Buenos Aires giants were relegated a month ago, and now have an automatic pass back - providing the unthinkable does not happen and they do not drop to the third this season.Indeed, the River Plate situation has given an extra urgency to the project. But it does not explain why last Monday 15 first division clubs voted in favour. The political attractiveness of the plan lies in the fact that it offers something for nearly everyone.The big traditional clubs of Buenos Aires had a shock with River's relegation. Other giants, such as Boca Juniors and Independiente, were looking over their shoulders. They can now feel protected.But the project is being sold as a profound shift in the direction of decentralising Argentine football, of limiting the historic domination of Buenos Aires by letting the provinces come to the party.The easy response is that this is happening anyway. As this column has mentioned before, Godoy Cruz of Mendoza, near the Chilean border, have in the last three years taken big strides towards establishing themselves in the first division.And all four promoted clubs this season are from the provinces - exemplified by River Plate's play-off defeat at the hands of Belgrano of Cordoba.This huge expansion of the first division, then, protects the Buenos Aires clubs from the rise of the provinces, while also offering more provincial teams a shot at glory - as I say, there is something for everyone.Except, perhaps, for those who believe in quality. Even with 20 clubs, the standard of the Argentine first division has not been high in recent years, as seen by the generally disappointing performance of the country's representatives in the Copa Libertadores, South America's Champions League.An increase to 38 clubs would seem to be a charter for generalised mediocrity.It is interesting that one of the four clubs who did not back the proposal were the current champions Velez Sarsfield. Widely seen as the best run club in the country, Velez have grown and grown in recent years, with a model based on good youth development and sound financial administration.They are a club striving for excellence, and they seem unconvinced by the new formula for football in the country.For the moment they are swimming against the tide. In addition to the other clubs, Argentina's government appear in favour of the scheme - a vital detail since the TV rights are state owned.It is election year in the formal political structure as well, so presumably a calculation has been made that there are votes to be gained from the expansion of the first division.But for how long? Is this new model viable in the long term?There are clear problems. One is the fact that at the moment there are no visiting supporters in the second division - the stadiums are not seen as good enough to deal with the country's problem of fan violence.It is hoped that a new system of personalised ID cards for supporters will save the situation - a technological solution in which the present writer has little confidence.There is also the problem of the sheer number of meaningless games. The suggestion is as follows - in the first half of the season the teams are divided into two groups of 19.After the league phase, the top 19 go into another league to spend the second half battling for the title, while the rest are playing to avoid relegation. In practice this could well be unwieldy and dull.Even in theory it is not going down very well. If enough club presidents feel that their supporters are not in favour then there could even be a rethink before October's assembly - but nothing that will getm Sergio Batista his old job back.

The Milner Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 how the hell would a 38 team league work? you could be looking at a 74 game season before cups and continental comps are taking into consideration!Regarding Rangers and Goodwillie, they should be ashamed of themselves, and very good on United for not being bullied about by Rangers. Its about time clubs stood up to them and stopped accepting lower bids just because they are Rangers, fuck the huns right off!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the top teams from each division merge and play for the top half, and the bottom teams merge and play for the bottom half. Or something ludicrous like that. Though as Woods pointed out, it seems to have been vetoed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
