    Anybody remember this one - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8236108.stm?  Not sure whether to be outraged or amused at the thought of him frantically trying to get the ball out the park!  :lol:

    I don't see the problem with a player betting on a match he can't possibly have the remotest influence on.  A lower league player told me years ago that he put a coupon on every week and the first thing he did was put his own side down for a win.  Maybe he was unaware of the ruling - I certainly was - but it was more a statement of belief in his team to do the business.  I doubt if it made him try any harder than he already would.

    Kevin Kyle told a story on Sportsound just before the LC final claiming his mates told him how Killie were "evens" to take kick-off against Rangers when he was captain and that as Weir always turned it round, it was a guaranteed winner with him being Killie captain.

    He claimed that he won the toss and chose ends as he didn't want to get in trouble.

    Slight problem with his story is that until the recent law change, the option of choosing kick-off wasn't available to the person who won the toss.

    And it seems none of the folk in the studio thought to call him out on the nonsense either.

    Armstrong scores for Southampton

    2 goals in 3 weeks for him

    Good to see.

    Him playing regularly between now and the play-off would be a massive boost IMO.

    For me, it's no coincidence that the unbeaten run towards the end of Strachan's time in charge of Scotland was when he broke into the team.

    In that report it says the rules state that no club official etc should bet on football. Does that include football outwith Scotland? For instance would him betting on Champions League or Europa League or Serie A matches (given that Hamilton aren't in any of those competitions) contravene that rule?

    Yes.

    No player, coach, director, match official in Scotland can bet on any football, anywhere in the world.

    Rules in England are the same, I believe.

    Not an organised boycott, but the fans have had enough. Everyone hates the guy in charge, a Yank dictator called John Nelms, and 99% of fans dislike our latest useless fucking cunt of a manager James McPake, a manager without any redeeming features, he knows fuck all about football, and is the dullest man alive, he should never have been appointed, and he should have been sacked months ago. Dees have simply had enough, its been 5 years of cluelessness, its not worth it any more.

    Dundee hoping he gets jailed so he can be sacked without compensation?

    Thought Cosgrove was the worst but there was a lot of competition, looked like we've taken up walking football now. Felt sorry for McGeouch and even Campbell looking up and seeing absolutely no movement ahead!

    Cosgrove was poor and seemed, particularly in the first half, to be trying to throw himself over at every opportunity.

    Dunno but only three sections of North sold out. Very good availability in one of the reminding section and others have plenty left.

    East/West not even close to being half full.

    Sound lower about half full, upper not on sale.

    This is what it's showing as right now.
