Silverfox and I have been lucky enough to get tickets for Saturday's extravaganza  and are now in need of some info from those of you who've already been. What's the situation with the stadium's bars? I imagine it's all Carlsberg related and mahoosively expensive? If so, we may have to stop off beforehand. Hope someone can help, although as most of you lot don't drink that much, this message could prove futile....  |

You wont have time for a beer. You'll be toeing it through Wembley High Road. (Pops might even get away)! ;D It is £3.50 a plastic pint of Carlsberg btw!  |

Can we ban Amber for using pornographic visuals under his name tag?

I actually feel pretty sick when I see that avatar on here Amber.....but I was pleased to see one of your "heroes" in the news again today north of the border:
FORMER Rangers ace Graham Roberts was accused yesterday of branding a rival fan "Jew boy".
The ex-England defender also said he would put the fan in a gas chamber, called a player with dreadlocks "pineapple head" and threatened a disabled fan, it was claimed.
The claims of Roberts's offensive behaviour on a tour of Canada led to the 47-year-old being sacked as manager of Clyde.
Yesterday, Roberts, below, began an unfair dismissal battle against the First Division club, denying any misconduct.
An employment tribunal was told when the allegations were put to him by club bosses at a disciplinary hearing, he labelled them "a lot of s**t".
Clyde secretary John Taylor told the hearing the claims were made in a letter from the organiser of the club's Canadian tour, organised to reward players for beating Celtic in the Scottish Cup.
As well as the "Jew boy" jibes, Roberts was accused of telling a wheelchair-using fan: "Sit down, f**k off, or I'll let your tyres down." He claimed he had said it to a boy on a bike.
He was also alleged to have made donkey noises at opposing players.
Taylor said the letter came from Derek Noble, a friend of Clyde assistant boss Joe Miller, who had organised the tour from the Canadian end.
He added the tour had been paid for through a fund-raising dinner, explaining: "This was seen as a reward for a good season, especially eliminating Celtic.
"The club wasn't in a position to fund the trip to Canada."
Following the tour, though, Noble complained in writing about Roberts.
Taylor said: "The letter alleged Mr Roberts verbally abused opposition players and supporters."
Roberts was summoned to a disciplinary hearing and eventually sacked for gross misconduct.
Taylor said Roberts had responded to the allegations by saying Noble was Joe Miller's best friend and it was a "stitch-up".
He added Roberts claimed it was "to do with money, he would fight it all the way and if he was going down, he would take Joe Miller with him".
The former manager also told the disciplinary hearing he used to play for Spurs, noted for their large Jewish following, and would never be anti-Semitic.
Taylor agreed there was no statement from the linesman at one match and he did not view a DVD of the game before making his decision to sack Roberts.
Joe Miller's statement said Roberts kept shouting at the linesman and was constantly warned by the fourth official but there appeared to be no statement from the linesman.
The club secretary told the tribunal Roberts's allegations of cash irregularities were referred to police, who found no case to answer.
The tribunal continues tomorrow.

Always good to help our little brother out. It made almost no sense for our second string to play at The Rec in the first place. I may even pop along for a stiffs match or two. After a swift half in The Bricklayers, of course. |
