tuffy starts for northern ireland v scotland
I thought that Tuffey had a decent enough game considering his defence failed to turn up. I couldn't blame him for any of the goals but he was very lucky to get away with his little blunder from a pass back. Thought it was a good all round performance from the Scots but need to see them against some stronger opposition before getting too excited about next major challenge.

Scotland Squad for first Nations Cup match
There's some wierd formula that takes account of results of games, importance of games, ranking of opponents, results over rolling twelve month period and results of last three world cups. Somehow by analysing all that they arrive at a points figure that determines placing. Nations cup games will likely rank a little higher than friendlies and if we were to win against republic we will likely move up a few places. As Republic and NI are both ranked above us we will have our points boosted by beating both. How they arrive at a figure I do not know.

Our Strongest 11
So players who haven't really featured this season or have just arrived at the club are given the nod above the two players who between them have garnered more accolades than all the rest put together.

Feel free to run mate. I'll wager that more people would enjoy Runrig than would consider them pish. At TCS you'd probably be right but outwith TCS most people would say they're sh1t I'd wager . Not in Denmark they wouldn't

It would be for a gnome lover. Poor little creatures. Bet you've hundreds couped up in your garden. No freedom to move. Just stuck there twiddling their wee thumbs like animals in a zoo.

Scotland Squad for first Nations Cup match
I would think its a bit late to bother calling anyone else to Ireland. MacGregor will start with Cammy Bell on the bench. From what I've seen of Wales and Republic I think Scotland could have a very good chance of winning this tournie and give our FIFA ranking a bit of a boost.

If I were to choose a Runrig song it would have to be The Stamping Ground and I'm sure I could play with the words to fit the occassion

The 'HoggMeister'
There are some nice Hibs fans out there after all. It remains to be seen how Hogg will turn out but the early signs are good. What concerns me though is who is going to be dropped to let him in. Is Grant now demoted to the bench? Will Tokely move back to the right side? How do our fans see him fit in?

Massive Blue & White Away Day
Haven't travelled on train for league game in a while but last time, think it was Rangers, the train was dry both ways. 0955 leaving Perth and half six back down. Many had smuggled booze on it though.

merged : 6th Round (QF) draw
Since coming to SPL in 04 we've only reached the QF once and were put out then by a Finnegan penalty for Falkirk in 08/09. I'm 100% sure it was the QF Celtic beat us in, making it 2 since we've come to the SPL The details can be found HERE so unless our statisticians have got it wrong then its clearly the fifth round.
