Haugh Aye

From Ulceby North Lincolnshire, via a week near Creetown in Galloway. A sober one, as I will have my 3 boys with me as the Auld yin will have to dog sit in Rutherglen!!

What a dangerous dangerous precedent this will set. The game will never be the same again if this is allowed to happen. Every losing team in every game now have the right to write a letter, point out a foul that wasn't given before a goal, a penalty that wasn't given, etc. If, for example, as happened recently, Dundee Utd played Celtic 4 times in 2 weeks, what is to now stop one of the teams writing a letter after 1st game and cite a bad foul that went unpunished, and get a top player banned for the next game? Then the other team does it for the next game? Absolute farce. Expect nothing less from SFA. And the officials?

I have just moved from West Yorks, but I am on holiday in Galloway anyway that day. But, Megabus. Leave Leeds 6am>>Glasgow 11.45>>>pub>>Hampden>>depart Glasgow 7pm>>Leeds 0.45am. Long day but doable

I am thinking of putting astroturf in garden instead of grass. What do you think?

Pain in t' arse, but hotel booked. Extra night due to SFA Sky Stupidity. All we are waiting for now are the rip off priced tickets.

That will explain why we only won 2-0. 10 men for the whole game would be a disadvantage. ;-)

I took one of my boys to his 1st competative football game yesterday. He is 12. As I don't tolerate swearing/name calling from the kids(I know hard for some to believe), I explained before the game that there will be unsavoury language, songs and chants and sat along from where the main singing crowd was. The worse chants/shouts we heard were from the drunk Hamilton "fan"(suspect there may have been an OF influence). Son just laughed at him and carried on watching the game. The ICT songs/singers he thought were great and funny and he joined in with the songs he knew. He wants to move closer to the noise at the next game I take him to. Walking out is just rediculous. Just move, or talk to steward, or, your god forbid, speak to the person that is causing you grief. The kids now think its acceptable the only option to a problem, is to walk away.

You could try The Eagle. But at that time of day it may have to be via the back door. http://www.timeout.com/newyork/bars/the-eagle

Looked offside. Thats the first I have seen of us this season. I assume we have played much better so far this season and this is a blip. Very poor in final 3rd. Not much creative stuff going on. Defence looked solid enough. Unlucky with the big deflection for the goal. Brill had shot covered. Still, thats what happens when yer in the big league, the wee teams raise their game against us. As for the ref, are they drug tested?

The The Rangers fans seem quite happy to be beating a big team.

If I didn't know better, I would say that the ref is under orders that a certain team qualifies. Some of the decisions I've seen have been shocking.
