Fuck it all, doom merchants (that’s you by the way)!
Right. So that’s me back from international duty – time to catch up on all that’s been happening while I’ve been away not paying too much attention to events concerning our beautiful game. Let’s see. Our clubs are out of Europ...
Mince and Tatties 12 // T’was all a dream
.. in which I step out of the shower to find myself, seven months later, dripping wet, 5 kilos heavier and still supporting the finest team north of the river Tay (and I don't mean Brechin). New managers, new controversies, a fixture backlog that will ...
Brimful of Alba (an EPL Scottish XI)
BEING a Scottish blog, I don’t have much time for anything to do with football outside of Scotland’s fair shores, but it didn’t completely escape my notice that last Saturdays rip-roaring Championship play-off final between Cardiff Ci...
Season 2009/10: and how was it for you?
SO, there it is. The Scottish Cup final notwithstanding, the curtain comes down on season 2009/10, the 113th since that sunny day in August 1890, when Rangers defeated Heart of Midlothian 5-2.
Funny how history has a habit of (nearly) repeating itself. While this season Rangers kicked off against Falkirk and not Hearts, the end result...
Simply the best
And so the league is finally over.
Unlike last season, or even the season before that, both of which went down to the wire on the final day, Kyle Lafferty’s 17th minute winner against Hibs at Easter Road yesterday ended season 2009/10 three games premature. His goal brings down the curtain on...
Gaelic connections: Scots in Ireland
Scottish striker Gary Twigg’s return to fitness is sure to enhance Shamrock Rovers title credentials this season. However, last year’s League of Ireland top scorer is not the only Scotsman who plies his trade in Ireland.
The former Brechin star quickly followed manager Michael O’Neill to The Tallaght stadium, the new home of Ireland’s most renowned...
The McLeish Report: good things come to those who wait?
I’ll let you into a secret.
I work as a consultant for a rather large computer company. Part of my work involves me going to troubled customers where I sit around for a while looking at how they do things (which is generally quite badly). I talk to people, I make some graphs, do some presentations...
The trouble with Scottish football…
A while ago I got into a Twitter discussion with @sfa (otherwise known as The Scottish Football Archive) about the problems, real or perceived, with the game in Scotland.
I forget exactly how the discussion went, but in 140 characters or less it covered all the same well worn topics, namely the dominance of...
Scottish Football Weekender
Oh Jesus, here we go again.
Another weekend of anguished scanning of the Sky Sports website while I’m pushing the kids around IKEA. At the risk of going on about it, can Aberdeen get back to winning ways? The omens don’t look good as Falkirk, their opponents tomorrow are – if not already, then certainly come...
Football Jokes
I’ve been sent a couple of good ones recently so here they are. Please add yours on to the comments here. The best ones will be added to the main page. Breaking News: Hearts striker Christian Nade has been diagnosed with MRSA, the flesh eating disease. Doctors have given the fat bastard 40 years to...
