I gave up and went oot in the sunshine.

 

fire have been on a not too bad run, but still look like they'd struggle against any half decent team, poss even some SPL teams!

Just watched Portland v LA game from last night. 5-3 to LA. Really good game with some good goals. Boyd got 2 of Portland's goals with other one coming from rebound off a Boyd shot.

Some interesting pre-season stuff yesterday

11,000 at Dens for the Dundee Derby won 3-0 by United with a Daly hattrick

3000+ at Starks for Raith 0-3 Hearts

Ayr horsing Well 4-0, and apparently was a pretty strong Well team.

It occurred to me today that one of the benefits of the rangers saga is a revitalization of interest in scottish football.  The dundee derby attendances is quite telling imo, I would wager that there were quite a few there that had not been to a game in a good while.

[Jute]

Watching NY Red Bulls v Seattle. Decent game so far 1-1 currently.

 

Edit: Finished 2-2. Enjoyable game.

Murderwell better get their act together of they are going to seriously get their collars felt in up coming qualifier. Would laugh at the hun cunt in charge, but it'll just give further ammunition for outsiders to laugh even more at the standard of Scottish football

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

They'll get their arses handed to them.

Good luck the the fermers tomorrow in Turkeyland

[Azteca1903]

St Johnstone beaten 2-0. Eskisehirspor the better team but Saints unlucky in that both goals took sizeable defections.

Celtic get Helsinki

Murderwell get Panathinikos (or however you spell it )

Does anyone know how badly the Greek teams have been hit by the financial crisis out there?

Does anyone know how badly the Greek teams have been hit by the financial crisis out there?

 

Football in Greece has been hit hard by the economic crisis and the subsequent austerity measures which have squeezed personal incomes.  Although top teams have enough sponsorship and television income to keep going, teams in the lower leagues have been hit hard with some matches being cancelled because transport for the team cannot be paid for.

 

So Panathanaikos probably not much. And either way, Motherwell look shite enough to lose to anybody.

Challenge cup:

 

C'mon the Scorries, much as I like Turnbull Hutton I'd love to see Wick win, and sounds like some game at Elgin; 1-5 down to Arbroath at HT, now 3-6! Aye, "armageddon" here we come 

[bloo_toon_red]

Elgin 5-7 Arbroath!!!

[Madbadteacher]

hopefully both can score as many when they play "cheat" fc!

Just noticed Peterhead held Dundee last night to a goalless draw with Dundee winning on pens in the first round of the league cup.

 

Suggests Dundee are utter ding and perhaps Peterhead will give Sevco a better run for their money than I thought

According to by Dundee supporting brother they only had 11 fit players and Barry Smith had to register as a player just so they had some experience on the bench.
