I see that Honka were silenced by a last minute winner for Bangor in the 2nd leg of this tie. The Finnish side were actually winning until they took Paatelinen off and then conceded 2 late goals, but that has GOT to be coincidence, surely.

We've got a very strong midfield, and are very well endowed between the sticks. I remain to be fully convinced about the rest of it though. With an on form Rooney we'll score enough goals, no worries, but if he doesn't rediscover last season's form, or gets injured, we are really back to the drawing board in terms of tactics. The defence did well at First Division level. However, I thought we needed to be signing the new Dods this summer, but it appears there isn't one. There's a lot resting on the current guys, but the one thing we can count on from Grant and Rossco is total commitment, and that in itself will win quite a few vital tackles for us.

But would you want to see him there?

It appears that Scotland will be giving a debut to this "Sweden" top next month against, yes, you've guessed it. And to even things up, Sweden will be playing in navy blue. Genius. :slap:

The fans? I think that shirt was made to order when Bobby was called up for Barry Wilson's testimonial.

I've always thought that, in the true spirit of a renegade, you couldn't care less what other people think of your whacky ideas!

That's OK, I was worried he'd gone back to playing Gaelic football on the side (like he did at Motherwell IIRC).

Hmmm, what's he been doing for the last 2 months?

Which one?

I'm disappointed that the new version of this website does not (yet) have the various Smurf emoticons that the last one had. Using them liberally would have made our Belgian visitors feel very welcome, in a completely unpatronising manner.

I like it, best for a good few years, pretty darn smart and stylish. And it that first pic, it somehow manages to make Richie look intellectual!

Perhaps, but I'd suggest that they should be checking more important things than that when drawing up contracts!

Must be the first time in his career he's credited a goal to someone else!

Yeah I was thinking about Sweden too. But it ain't bad actually, seen MUCH worse from Scotland.

You talking about CaleyD?!

Game of two halves?

Might have been better to use the word "players" rather than "men", to avoid potential misinterpretation!

Sheesh. Butcher out!

Which is quite interesting in itself. He would surely just deny it if its not true. Why not just make the appointment so that players can get used to playing under whoever the captain is going to be this season? Is he having second thoughts? Or has he made the decision to appoint Foran but hasn't yet informed the players? Or is there a chance Foran be leaving?

Yes Terry, but he's not a good footballer. "I was searching about for younger centre halves, but there are none about. I asked Spurs about taking a defender in only to find out the loan fee was far more than we could afford. There's not a lot out there." Aha. I've been desperately trying to sign anyone but this ageing journeyman who the bottom 6 teams play pass the parcel with. But I can't find anyone else so he'll have to do.

That's got me thinking, "speed golf" would make it more to Charles's liking. The winner would be the person who completes the course quickest rather than with the fewest strokes.

So you feel offended on someone else's behalf?
