    I've never tried a kindle. Maybe I'm a Luddite but I can't imagine reading a book that isn't physically a book. A book should look like a book and feel like a book IMO.
    I can maybe understand the attraction of a kindle for taking on holiday, less weight and bulkiness to carry around, but I still advocate the real thing ahead of technological progress.

    A post in respect of Davie White. My old dad (1925-1974) was a Clyde supporter and respected old Davie W. White was a left sided midfielder back in the mid 60s and captain at Clyde. He retired as a player and became their manager and within a couple of seasons took them to 3rd place in the old 1st division. They ought to have qualified for Europe but were denied entry to the old Fairs Cities Cup (a predecessor of the Europa Cup) because of a technicality (Rangers finished 2nd and took the only spot the city of Glasgow could qualify for, Hibs finished 4th and qualified in Clyde's place). White was appointed as Rangers manager on the back of his success at Clyde. White's achievements at Ibrox were overshadowed by Stein's Celtic, the best club side ever in Scotland. His "failure" at Ibrox overshadowed his success at one of this country's diddy teams, an achievement that should be White's ultimate legacy. RIP Davie.

    I am concerned that we will be over-reliant on two ageing players (Thomson & Teale), either of whom (or both) could find 2013/14 to be one season too far for old legs. There's a helluva long time between this transfer window shutting and the January window opening. I hope the BoD is not banking on a 15 point cushion being our lifebelt, especially as two teams may be relegated.

    Memories, memories... So we lost out on McInally due to Aspinall being a fanny, we lost out on Ronaldinho due to an administrative delay, we lost out on Ian Harte due to a toilet stop at Gretna services, and we lost out on Craig Beattie due to Hearts being cheating non-paying administration bound bawbags. Hmm. Just a shame Steve Archibald couldn't have had a minor car crash or something on the way to the airport.
