SI Staff Ter Posted February 14, 2006 Author SI Staff Share Posted February 14, 2006 Neither of them dive with as much regularity as Petrov though. Prso does go down very easily for a big fella and Lovenkrands does dive every now and again but I wouldn't say they have the same reputation as 'divers' like Petrov has. Maybe I'm just biased.

For Soti's faint, see Petrov's spectacularly delayed stumble. For Prso's well everything, see Maloney. For Lovenkrands, see McGeady. etc etc It's a pointless argument, both are as bad as each other and it's got nothing to do with either team.

Frankie Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 BTW, I don't think my post was meant to be taken as Celtic players dive, Rangers players don't. Of course we have a few players who do this. Every team does. It was just a post to make that very point clear and to show that no-one can go on about one player trying to cheat at the weekend, when another player was just as bad. IMO, in the same way video evidence is used to discipline elbows, kicks and spitting; it could be used after the fact to penalise divers such as Soti and Petrov. Behaviour like those 2 players of the weekend is embarrassing and shouldn't be tolerated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Diving is a disease that is poisoning the game in the last 3 or 4 years- referess need to clamp down on it but it is not easy to spot in real time and dead easy with an action replay- there have been lots of instances where the ref has tried to clamp down and got it wrong so in my view the authorities should use instant replays and charge the offenders. It is a bit like dissent which is also rife- the players do it because their Managers do it and they all get away with it. Read Brian Clough's biography and he said he didn't allow dissent and anyone showing dissent got fined and didn't play the next week- simple but effective!.

TM Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Villarreal chief scout Javier Cabello, has attacked Rangers' rearguard ahead of their Champions League showdown next week at Ibrox. He was speaking as captain Quique Alvarez was ruled out with a muscle tear during their 1-0 defeat by Celta Vigo at the weekend. "The Rangers defence, especially the centre halves Kyrgiakos and Andrews, are very weak and too slow. "While they are good in the air, we can take advantage of them," he said. Cabello, who attended Sunday's Old Firm encounter, is clearly confident ahead of next Wednesday's Ibrox clash and is encouraged by the fact that Alex McLeish's side are under-performing in the Scottish Premier League. "We score a lot of goals from set-pieces and will try to hurt them when we are playing near their penalty box," he said. "I have to say that the Rangers players look to be low on morale. "It seems Rangers run out of ideas and have a mental block when they try to take the initiative." Amid his frank assessment, Cabello was full of praise for Chris Burke on his recent spying missions, while hinting that the winger could prosper elsewhere in the future. "I saw Rangers against Aberdeen and Celtic and the player who really caught my eye was Chris Burke," he said. "He has everything and I expect him to have a tremendous future. I have no doubts about this. "It was exciting for me to see him taking the ball and trying to go forward. Rangers have a real prospect. "I will not be surprised if this boy ends up playing for a big club very soon." Meanwhile, it has been reported that the Villarreal players locked their own coach out of a crisis meeting as they search for ways to reverse their poor form ahead of the Rangers game. The Spanish side were given a boost though, as playmaker Juan Riquelme looks set to win his fitness battle, wherehis absence having coincided with a slump in domestic form. Midfielder Riquelme has responded well to treatment in Buenos Aires and is expected to make the journey to Glasgow. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Burkey \o/ more people who realise that Marv/Soti are a weak link, too bad Eck hasnt seen it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Forgot all about this thread. Good to Stevie Smith being rewarded for a very promising couple of months in the first team. Reports of him in the reserves and U19s regularly noted him as a decent talent, so its heartening to see the guy proving them right. Him and Burkey have been two of the few bright spots in a dismal season. And hopefully Gavin Rae makes an appearance tommorrow at some point. A type of player in a position we are sorely lacking. Sadly he has an injury record we are all too used to, but fingers crossed he can put that behind him now. Finally, for anyone in Dundee next Tuesday, and at all interested in the history of the construction of Ibrox (and other stadia), author Simon Inglis is giving a talk on designer Archibald Leitch at Dundee Uni. More details: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Britain's first great football ground designer The work of the man who shaped most of Britain’s great football grounds will be explored in a lecture at the University of Dundee next week. Scotsman Archibald Leitch defined the distinctive look of British football grounds during the first half of the 20th Century, and at one point had over half of the top division clubs in England among his clients as well as having other work closer to home, including the surviving main stand at Dens Park in Dundee. Leitch’s work will be examined by writer Simon Inglis, editor of the Played In Britain series, in his lecture at Duncan of Jordanstone College on Tuesday, part of the current series of the Dundee Conservation Lectures. Leitch, who was born in Glasgow, did his first stadium designs for Rangers and Kilmarnock, and by the mid 1920s over half of the first division football clubs in England, including Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Fulham and Southampton, were among his clients. He designed the first Old Trafford in 1910. Closer to home, in addition to Ibrox he designed the national stadium, Hampden, and stadia for Hearts, Dundee and Hamilton. Born in 1865, Leitch died in London in 1939. Today, only 11 of his football stands survive, but in varying condition. Ibrox and Craven Cottage now enjoy statutory protection and are reasonably secure, while Everton’s Goodison Park has a good Leitch stand but only the cores of Leitch stands survive at White Hart Lane and Anfield. Even closer to home, Dundee’s main stand is another important Arhchibald Leitch survivor and, while it cannot claim to be his most sophisticated work, unlike some of the others it is in good shape having been extensively refurbished some ten years ago. Simon Inglis is a writer and architectural historian who since the Hillsborough disaster has sat on various advisory bodies on stadium design. He is a passionate and entertaining speaker on Britain’s sporting heritage. As editor of the "Played in Britain" series, Simon Inglis has contributed a number of titles to the series including Engineering Archie, a study of Archibald Leitch’s life and work. The lecture takes place at 6 pm in Lecture Theatre 5013 at Duncan of Jordanstone College, Perth Road, Dundee. For members of the public there is a £5 entry fee, students and sponsors of the programme are admitted free. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 going back to PLG for a minute here, I was thinking the other day: if this was a player and we werent getting an answer quickly from them, wouldnt most of it be saying "if they dont want to play for Rangers, why are we bothering buying them?" obviously it's a good manager we are talking about here and I really want him to come in, but surely we'll get the answer soon?

Finally, for anyone in Dundee next Tuesday, and at all interested in the history of the construction of Ibrox (and other stadia), author Simon Inglis is giving a talk on designer Archibald Leitch at Dundee Uni. More details: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Britain's first great football ground designer The work of the man who shaped most of Britain’s great football grounds will be explored in a lecture at the University of Dundee next week. Scotsman Archibald Leitch defined the distinctive look of British football grounds during the first half of the 20th Century, and at one point had over half of the top division clubs in England among his clients as well as having other work closer to home, including the surviving main stand at Dens Park in Dundee. Leitch’s work will be examined by writer Simon Inglis, editor of the Played In Britain series, in his lecture at Duncan of Jordanstone College on Tuesday, part of the current series of the Dundee Conservation Lectures. Leitch, who was born in Glasgow, did his first stadium designs for Rangers and Kilmarnock, and by the mid 1920s over half of the first division football clubs in England, including Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Fulham and Southampton, were among his clients. He designed the first Old Trafford in 1910. Closer to home, in addition to Ibrox he designed the national stadium, Hampden, and stadia for Hearts, Dundee and Hamilton. Born in 1865, Leitch died in London in 1939. Today, only 11 of his football stands survive, but in varying condition. Ibrox and Craven Cottage now enjoy statutory protection and are reasonably secure, while Everton’s Goodison Park has a good Leitch stand but only the cores of Leitch stands survive at White Hart Lane and Anfield. Even closer to home, Dundee’s main stand is another important Arhchibald Leitch survivor and, while it cannot claim to be his most sophisticated work, unlike some of the others it is in good shape having been extensively refurbished some ten years ago. Simon Inglis is a writer and architectural historian who since the Hillsborough disaster has sat on various advisory bodies on stadium design. He is a passionate and entertaining speaker on Britain’s sporting heritage. As editor of the "Played in Britain" series, Simon Inglis has contributed a number of titles to the series including Engineering Archie, a study of Archibald Leitch’s life and work. The lecture takes place at 6 pm in Lecture Theatre 5013 at Duncan of Jordanstone College, Perth Road, Dundee. For members of the public there is a £5 entry fee, students and sponsors of the programme are admitted free. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Inglis is a good speaker and writer, and Leitch was way ahead of his time.

McD Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yeah, I'd take the silence to be more promising than not. If a deal has been struck, Murray made it clear nothing would be announced until after the Euro ties. This Wednesday thing seemed to come solely from Colleu. No news is good news, and all that (hopefully). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an interesting subject. Not sure I'm going to be able to make it down myself, but I know Dundee Uni's Press Officer and he was badgering me to let Rangers fans know.

McD Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 So rumours abound that Billy Davies is dropping his Premiership-chasing PNE side to become...... Rangers' youth coach! OK then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyG Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Ours is the only banana shaped stand in the UK. The only reason it survives is because it's a listed building... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
