  1. I'm watching an ancient Family Fortunes on Challenge TV, and bizarrely Bob Monkhouse has just cracked a St.Mirren joke!

    He said he's a St.Mirren fan, and he's finding it quite hard. We've just signed two Chinese players, We Wun Wunce and How Long Since.

    Some things never change.

    Well, apart from the bit about making two signings.

    It's available again on Challenge TV+1 at 5.30pm.

  2. I've just seen Spurs being awarded a penalty for a guy having the ball blootered off his hands from a few yards away.

    Despite giving the penalty, I notice that the ref didn't book the player who handled.

    Why did Wille Collum immediately book Jim Goodwin and Charlie Mulgrew for the same 'offence' in the semi-final? The same thing happened to David van Zanten at Inverness. Bookings for something that's clearly not deliberate are a ridiculously unjust, especially when a penalty has already been awarded.

    Then you've got big Thompson blootering the ball off the baldy full back's hand in the box yesterday, and the ref waves play on.

    Does anyone in the refereeing world know exactly what's meant to happen in these scenarios?

    Is it written down in rule book anywhere, are the refs being advised on it as a group, or are we just making it up as we go along?

    The officiating of football is in the dark ages compared to other sports.

  3. The depth of the squad can be revisited when the transfer window shuts. It would nice to have the squad complete now, but if it takes until 31st August, it's not the end of the world.

    We were 7th in the First Division when we signed John Sutton and Charlie Adam on deadline day.

    There are concerns about Danny Lennon, but the effect of the League Cup Final on the remainder of last season's league campaign gives him enough slack, for now, but another season of bottom feeding won't do.

  4. The 0-0 at Hamilton was in the midweek between the 0-7 at Raith and the 4-0 over Dumbarton.

    The pre-match warm up at Hamilton was best, with the players jogging from touchline to touchline as a group. Every time they got to the side where the Saints fans were standing, all hell broke loose, with Lex Baillie and co getting both barrels.

  5. I think chasing junkies is part of a butcher's training.

    I know an ex-butcher who's got all sorts of tales to tell about chasing junkies into pubs, etc, including one of the apprentices at Safeway taking out a junkie with a glass sauce bottle, such that they weren't sure what was blood and what was sauce.

  6. I think all the doom and gloom worked in our favour in the end.

    The reality is that our record against Celtic isn't really any worse than loads of other teams against them (e.g. last five SPL games: Celtic 18-1 Hearts).

    We've also had some decent contests with Celtic (e.g. Neil Lennon invading the pitch after an injury time winner), but the 'park the bus' game and this season's Greenhill Road fiasco turned today's game into a David v Goliath job in peoples' minds, even though Celtic have been shipping points left right and centre to SPL also-rans this season.

    It won't do us any harm if Hearts think they only have to turn up as well.

  7. I've noticed they've started running their mouths again, now that they've safely been allowed back on the park.

    That stuff had calmed down a bit, ever since the penny finally dropped that the belligerence from Sandy Jardine and Co was rubber stamping their ticket out of the SPL, rather than helping threaten their way back in.

    For the latest instalment, it turns out that we're all........bigots!laugh.png

    The lad Green is well known for having a bit of a brass neck, and has already shown how far out of touch he is in Scotland, but if there's one word in the English language that the chairman of Rangers would be well advised to steer clear of when making accusations against others....

    This guy will have them pining for Craig Whyte, and his pound coin, before long.
