You do realise that most of the things that have happened are about money. Why else would pubs open? Why else would restaurants open? Why should football be different?

Folk were clamoring to get football really early on - as daft as folk are about football, it's hardly an essential service - certainly not as much as things like dentistry or even hairdressing.

I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but the major beneficiaries of having football on the telly will be folk like Rupert Murdoch - on a more local level, the main beneficiaries are likely to be the old firm - the TV contracts are built around them, which is why we have to suffer the tedium of playing each other four times a season.

The point is that it's not so much just about money - it's about lots of money for particular people.

I see Hearts are doing the cardboard cutout thing.

£22 seems very reasonable, with £2 going to homeless charity Socialbite.

Still laugh/despair at the comment on his profile on the Man Utd website "former Reds boss Jose Mourinho has predicted his compatriot will become the outstanding Portuguese goalkeeper of his generation. "

To be fair he was outstanding, just not dive saving or being any use whatsoever.
Hearts have had some decent keepers and some absolute howlers and I think he was the worst I am aware of and I include my favourite idiot kurskis in that list - his heads gone red card against us, taking place right in front of the away section being a particular highlight of his time at hearts

Kurskis was bad but Pereira easily the worst I have seen at Hearts. Was like a hologram playing in goal.

Reminded me of that guy you played with at 5s, who was a good outfield player but hated playing in goals and would let one in, so he could be back playing outfield

Going by Twitter, the two clubs are miles apart valuation wise. 

It would be crazy for him to move there if the other reported interest is true.

Really hope he doesn't it just shows the lack of ambition when a young Scottish player goes to either of the bigot twins.

This was always on the cards - Hickey's faither has been in his ear for months.

To be fair, you can see why you maybe wouldn't want your laddie to move abroad at this time, but a gig at a club like Bayern is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

He'll end up in the same glue factory as Soapy-tit-w**k.

Same as it ever was.
