They're likely to get their wish on the 25th August.

I think ASDA would be better. The Sevco fans would love seeing it done up in green.

I imagine you'd be in profit or thereabouts then.

There are probably more countries that take Olympic football seriously than take Olympic sailing or shooting seriously. There's huge pressure on the Brazilian team and coach for example. Just because there's massive apathy for it in the UK doesn't mean that others aren't very excited by the tournament.

Possibly, I passed by it last week and it certainly wasn't open as a pub. Did look like it had a new coat of paint over its boarded up windows.

That'd be increasing the size of the goals by a football's width at either side. Think back to every time someone's hit the post. With 8m wide nets those would all have been goals. You may be only increasing the total size of the goals by a small percentage, but you're increasing the area a keeper can't get to by a not insignificant amount. Scorelines would increase considerably.

Any names of note in the opposing eleven?

But it's not a lot of money relative to what Rangers fans are used to paying.

Brilliant. Well done all involved.

I'm sure I read that they expect to make about a £500k loss on last season, so an extra £400k on top of that doesn't sound too unrealistic.

Every club in the league deserves appropriate punishment for indiscretions. If Thistle ever behave in a similar manner to how Rangers did then I'm not going to change my stance just because it's the team I support. Many, both here and in the media, have been calling for Rangers fans and staff to simply accept their punishment like men, that's also what I'd ask of Thistle if they were in the same boat.

The only person on the ITV payroll who could pronounce the Czech players' names correctly was Roberto Martinez. These people are supposed to be professionals (especially the two commentators and the host), half an hour is all it takes, do some homework.

I'd quite like that as a goalkeeper's jersey. As the away kit though, I'm not so sure. What are those sparkly bits all about?

If all that happens in the next couple of months it's time to start scouting boozers in Edinburgh.

Can someone please remind me: If Rangers get turfed out of the SPL, Dundee take their place, but who takes Dundee's place in Division One? Is it the losing play-off finalists?

The KHL (Continental Hockey League) has teams from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Latvia, Slovakia and Czechia. So there aren't any logistical problems that can't be overcome if the finance and willingness is there. They play more games than football teams yet still manage to have a team like Khabarovsk play away to Prague (they're eight time zones apart). That said, there's really no need for multi-national leagues in football and I imagine there'd be very little support for the idea from fans. Sigesige00, you say Welsh teams would leave the English set-up to play with Scots and Irish teams. Why on earth would they want to do that. Another point: you advocate an Austrian-Lichtensteinian-Swiss league. All Lichtenstein teams currently play within the Swiss pyramid, so we're nearly there. I know this is very off topic, but it's interesting you advocate the return of the USSR. Go to Bukhara, speak to an Afghan war vet and ask them if they want to be ruled from Moscow again, ask a resident of Karabakh if they want to be in the same country as Azerbaijan.

Not to mention any team from a country that plays summer football.

There's a guy playing for HB in the Faeroe Islands who says in his career he's only swapped jerseys twice, once with Fabrice Muamba and once with Piermario Morosini.

To the tune of "I can see clearly now": if he's ever on the bench towards the end of the game when we're getting pumped... "Bring on Sinclair right now, the game has gone He can skin all the ****-holes who're in his way Bring on Sinclair right now, the game has gone It's another shite, shite, shite, shite Saturday."

To the tune of Bowie's "Starman". And it's Erskine, Racing up the wing, He's no that good at headers, Even though he's tall and thin. And it's Erskine, Charging up the park, But he never gets the service, Cause we have no midfield spark. So we sing, Let the Bridgeman have it, Let the Bridgeman have it, Let the Bridgeman score it. There you go, another rubbish one for you!

The Kurdish guys in the kebab shop across the road from me agree with Radio Scotland's pronunciation.

You don't know much about Cavendish then I take it. Not only has he a personality but it is refreshingly different from most British sportsmen: "I say I will win a stage in the Tour de France, because I will. If I didn’t I would be called ‘plucky’. But the fact I say I can and then go out and do it means I am arrogant." "Patrik Sinkewitz? He was on my team and blatantly cheated. He should never be allowed back in the sport. If I ever see him in the same peloton as me I will jump off my bike, straight onto him and kick the shit out of him."

The Norwegians, Swiss, Russians, Germans and Swedes all copied it as well.

Who's this Patrick Youngster chap we've signed?
