Re: the football thread
Looks like Frank Lampard may become the new Derby manager.. Lampard is apparently a Rangers fan... I wonder if Gerrard and Lampard will lock horns pre-season 

Re: the football thread
England are doing alright, eh?
Re: the football thread
Unfortunately they've crashed out only two years after Scotland.
Re: the football thread
oops, were * doing alright .. still, can be pretty happy with 3rd if they win today 

Re: the football thread
I've been saying all along that they're not good enough to justify the hype.
One decent result against a chaotic Panama and everyone thinks it's 1966 again. Tunisia wasn't a convincing win, Colombia went to penalties, Sweden had their fair share of chances too. Then we lost to Belgium, twice.
I enjoyed the ride for as long as it lasted, but the notion that England is truly World class seems a bit wide of the mark to me. Still, it's a step up from 2014 when we scored one point in the qualifying round, so I guess it's all going in the right direction.

Re: the football thread
i think they got as good a draw as they could have hoped for but at the end of the day being a world cup semi-finalist is something to be proud of...
from an outside point of view, it's interesting to watch the hype.. england certainly get carried away, but why not? i'm happy to see them doing well..
rangers are up again in around an hour & half, second leg europa league qualifier vs a team from macedonia.. gerrard's first competitive game was the first leg last week at ibrox following a 6-0 win vs bury in a friendly, rangers are 2-0 up. only played 2 games so far & a lot of activity expected before the end of the transfer window.. gerrard seems to be building a tall team, he could see that we were bullied last season..
got a big boy in from brighton, connor goldson & looking at another big lad from millwall, jake cooper
this macedonian team were better than i expected last week, these games can be tricky.. but i will tempt fate anyway & place £1 on 6-2 rangers
