I was at the Tannadice Open Day the other day and the full first team squad were there training so I reckon we will be OK.

Noel Hunt however has signed for Reading today for a tasty £600 grand.

At least the new Arab Sand Dancer scored two yesterday v Dunfermline and Feeney nailed a hat-trick v Raith on Saturday!

Three days to go till the Barca friendly. Do you want me to get you a programme as a gift and send it down LS?

Congratulations to Annan Athletic who won their first ever league game today coming from behind to beat Cowdenbeath 4-1 and top the embryonic 3rd division.

Oor refs deserve **** all. They are dreadful.

However, on a lighter note, the Road to Hampden starts up here today as the first round of the CIS Cup takes place. I am off to enjoy the delights of Recreation Park Alloa for a clash of the titans between the mighty Wasps and Elgin City.

It should be a richt humdinger.

Congrats to Queen of the South on outlasting Rangers in Europe.

On the flip side that means they will probably win the league now but at least the residents of a few European cities can sleep easier in their beds tonight.

Well done Hearts B team.

Not good news as most of those numpties will be shipped over when Aalborg beat them.

No they won't. Last night's result will have a massive impact on the league. The cream buns are skint and needed the money from CL qualification in order to improve a dreadful squad.

I know that Scottish football is bad, but it not so bad that a side with the likes of David Weir, Christian Dailly, Kirk Broadfoot, Lee McCulloch, Nacho No Goals and Daniel Coo's Ar$e will win the league.

Oh, and Velicka, Lafferty, Gow, Miller, Ferguson.

And, Papac, Darcheville..............

Just received this little message from my Celtic fan mate regarding Rangers elimination last night!!

"You could look at last nights result in a number of ways, they're out before Halloween, out before the kids are back at school, out before the season has started, but I prefer to look at it as out of Europe before Queen of the South.


Tell all the Huns you know
Inverness is as far as you'll go
You'll no need your shades
or your bucket and spade
only a sledge for the snow"

....and Steven Whittaker, Kevin Thomson, Andy Webster, Charlie Adam.

Better Put All Your Effort Into The Scottish League Cup & Scottish Cup Again



I'm really looking forward to the signing of Marc Crosas from Barcelona, certainly a young player with lots of potential and a player the didn't really want to lose on a permanent basis, although i am very surprised that according to reports there is an option for Barcelona to buy him back for €2m at the end of the 2009/10 season.

So in effect, it's a long-term loan with the option for Celtic to buy at the end. If not, then the difference between the two sums has been the fee for his "loan".
