I'm sure there's some tongues in cheek here, but I'd have Jose a long way above Pep.

Pep is the one of the two who needs a bottomless budget or a squad that's already assembled for him.

Find it hard to understand the rationale for those choosing Pep over Jose.

This has to be a level right?

Pep cut his teeth bringing through a whole generation of Barcelona players who went on to arguably be the best group in the world.

His teams play beautiful football in the spirit it’s meant to be played in.

That was some finish to the race at Leopardstown in the grade1 nov. hdl.

How about the next race?

José Mourinho says ‘£300m not enough’ for Manchester United to compete https://trib.al/jzY8TeG 

Maybe Jose needs to realise he just isn't that special afterall. 

The makings of a good manager is one who take players to a different level and also who can identify talent buy it cheap and manage to sell it on. 

Also just finished the 4 seasons of Line of Duty back to back.   Hastings is a cracking character. 

I initially watched the very first episode when it first came out but something got in the way and I parked it and forgot all about it.

Gutted season  is so far off. 

Celtic were something like 1/10 in the full market, I think PB meant Hibs without Celtic

Yes, that’s wit I meant.  Too much rum.

Murtyconcomitant!

King has to find £11 million for the buy out. 

The bears are distressed. 

Hibs to win the league without Rangers at 20/1 thanks to whoever put that up.

All is not well in Scottish football full stop imo

Really?

So good!

The hurt and the bile coming from Ibrox is amusing me so much. 

I done a mortgage for a chap recently and I was speaking to him today about a potential Buy To Let purchase and he's ITK about the goings on in Govan/Scottish Football and he told me the story was McInnes wanted to see the books at Dave King said gtfo.  McInnes might be a lot of things but he isn't stupid and he told him without that access he couldn't take over the team. 

All is not well. 

Poverty Safari is on my Christmas list.  A powerful tour de force from local Glasgow Activist Darren McGarvey aka LOKI.

Not sure if it's on interest to Blonde's but it might open a few peoples minds. 

So much gold in one statement.  Jimbo Traynor is seething hard.

Rangers Club Statement:

THERE has been a great deal of media speculation regarding the appointment of a new manager. We assure all supporters that they will be the first to know when we are certain we have someone with the correct qualities required by our club.

The Chairman made it clear at the AGM that the club did not consider there to be an outstanding candidate among those who had applied for the position and the club was therefore considering managers currently under contract. This requires permission from their present clubs.

The position of Rangers manager requires an ability to win football matches and the mentality to cope with the demanding off-pitch environment that goes with being the Rangers manager. This is a critical aspect of our assessment of any candidate during the interview process.

After the two games against Aberdeen, we requested permission to engage with their manager to assess his readiness and willingness to consider the Rangers position. This was declined. We were subsequently made aware by Aberdeen’s statement that, at this stage in his career, it would be best for him to remain in his current post. We endorse that position because moving to a massive club like Rangers is a big step with concomitant risk. We continue to consider candidates but will only appoint someone in whom we have full confidence and who feels he is ready for the job.

In the meantime, we have great confidence in Graeme Murty, who will continue as interim manager at least until the end of the year. The manner in which he has approached this task is a credit to himself and the club.

So what solution would you propose that keeps the peace in Ireland and respects the referendum result?

Give Ireland back to the Irish.  Simples.

As that is not going to happen, then it's not "simples" you have to square off the republic and the DUP

Law of unintended consequences for hard Brexiters well in play

If the DUP and their hanger on's want to be British so much ship them off to Bolton or some other god forsaken place and let the Island of Ireland North and South get on with things. 

I have seen many comments from educated professionals who would have traditionally come from the Unionist persuasion over the last few days round on the bigots of the DUP. 

They have different legislation on equal marriage and abortion that differs hugely from the UK as a whole they are a bunch of crazed religious Zealots.  There is no place for them in a modern Ireland. 

The Union is surviving in name only at the moment. 

So what solution would you propose that keeps the peace in Ireland and respects the referendum result?

Give Ireland back to the Irish.  Simples.

Reunification parties polled 38% in the 2015 GE,  41% in the 2017 GE

In the North. 

The only way for a definitive answer is an all Ireland poll.

Where is Big Adz?  I'm looking to get myself an ante post book sorted for Cheltenham.  

He's busy tying to track down a couple of distraction muggers so he can tell us that he was correct.

I was involved in a violent mugging last night. I'm still a bit shaken up but on the bright side I did make a few quid.

What is it about racists that they don't like being called a racist?

(Only just read the posts in question)

I guess I'm missing something here  . . . .
