SPL season 2012-13

Good performance from celtic today, bit frustrated with lack of final product, and a slight scare at the end. Very entertaining stylish football being played

We always struggle to get a result after a Euro tie

Yep, after a Euro tie the most important thing is the points

United have signed Rudi Skacel on a short term deal.

Quote happy with that tbh.

He is a good player and United seem to be making profits these days so, good for them...

Good news for a change. Hope Skacel is fit though and it does not turn out to be another Vignal saga !

Today's results

Aberdeen 2 - 0 Dundee
Celtic 0 - 2 Kilmarnock
Hearts 2 - 2 Ross County
Inverness C.T. 1 - 1 St. Johnstone
St. Mirren - 0 - 1 Dundee United

Great win for Kille to keep the league alive.

United did well against a team we usually don't do well against. Lucky penalty apparently but I'll take it !!

 

[Moza]

Dundee were really bad, worst team i've seen at Pittodrie in a while. If they don't get relegated it'll be a miracle. Exciting season in the making though at the other end of the table.

 

[Swordfish]

What a result for United today. Looked like we were getting nothing but a great fightback.

What a goal from Ambrose !!!!!

 

[doopydug]

An absolutely great game of football too - superb to watch

Dundee Utd are selling the Own Goal of the Season Match Ball on a well known multi-coloured auction site.

Hearts receive winding-up order over unpaid PAYE and VAT


Linky

Wonder how this will go.

 

[McMav]

Tick tock. I see it's not even to do with the other outstanding 1.75 million owed. No wonder they approached Rangers and offered 100k off what's due to be paid next summer for Wallace if it's paid now.

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

So have Rangers caused this by not paying for Wallace?

 

[jmc777]

No, years of financial mismanagement has caused this.

 

[Jokester]

If they don't payoff the unpaid VAT, it won't be just be administration, it'll be liquidation of the club as well.

 

[semi-pro waster]

Wonder how this will go.

I'd suspect not well is the short answer. Even if Hearts manage to stave off the initial winding up order there's still a further £1.75m tax bill in dispute. Although we've managed so far to avoid the winding up orders the financial management at the club seems to have been utterly horrendous. About the only "bright" spot in the whole sorry mess is that a failure to pay a tax bill can only attract an embargo on registration of players and that's already in place...

 

[McMav]

Signing players should be last thing on their mind anyway.

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

Another Euro hangover for Celts. Not to worry though, normal service will be resumed until the next Euro game.

Yeah - I bet all my mates that we wouldn't win the game.

Do you think its a lack of motivation / ability to adjust or just tiredeness?

 

[eddiemcgarrigle]

I think it comes from busting a gut over defeating Barcelona and the resulting mental and physical drain effecting them in the next game. There will be the usual argument that players should be able to cope but it just doesn't ring true.
