Kyrgiankos is only playing at the minute because Agger is injured as are 2 of our RB's and our third choice RB is having to play at RM because of injuries there too. And he's been playing well too. Backpass wasn't great yesterday but Reina should've dealt with it better. Speaking of which I can't get why everyone's making such a fuss about the goal being disallowed. I don't think it was offside but Defoe hauled Reina down in an effort to win the ball off him thus it was a free-kick to us anyway...

Rangers 1 - 1 Hearts

We CANNOT rely on Kyle Lafferty to lead the line. That man has absolutely nothing to offer to the game of football. The only time we looked like scoring was when we threw the kids on at the end, and thankfully it paid off with Andy Little scoring in the 91st minute. If none of our forward or wide players are back by Wednesday, I'd play a 4-3-3 with McCulloch, Mendes and Davis in centre midfield, and the young guys up front, with Fleck and Wylde sitting just behind Little. That Gregg Wylde has looked like dynamite every time I've seen him play, and he'd cause a lot of problems to the SPL defences. He was leaving defenders for dust when he came on today.

I just hope I never need to see Kyle Lafferty in a Rangers shirt again. It's embarrassing. Bring back Sebo; he may not have scored much, but by God he tried.

Spurs 2 Leeds 2
What a game, best cup match I've seen in years, and no premiership side is going to field reserves against us any more.

What a time to be a Leeds fan

And everyone loves us now. (And yes we played crap for the first 15, could've been 5 down)

St. Mirren 0 - 2 Rangers
Celtic 1 - 2 Hibs

Beautiful. 10 points clear. I had the sound on for the Gers game while I watched the last few minutes of the Celtic game. Celtic's Korean kid went down with a painfully desperate dive just outside the box in the last minute and didn't get anything. Hibs whacked the ball upfield, Stokes held it up, then Galbraith smacked it into the net. Karma at its best. Leaves Hibs 2 points off second, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they usurped Celtic before the end of the season. The ex-Premiership players (Stokes, Miller & Galbraith) they signed have been excellent for them.

Watching Algeria vs Egypt. All I can really say so far is that this is THE WORST refereeing performance I have ever seen. And that's saying something.

It is, to put it simply, quite [censored] indeed.

Sounds great, but of all the pubs in Edinburgh which bloody one is it?

So, apparently, if we shoot up the German bus during the next world cup and they withdraw, we can look forward to at least two world cups without them? :facepalm: What possessed the African Confederation of Football?

What chant can we have for John Terry.

John Terry, John Terry! Has a willy.

Nah

John Terry, John Terry!
England skipper, wants a nipper.

Too romantic

John Terry! Wants to gag us!
Don't think much of his modus operandus! :hehe:

Rangers 3 - 0 Falkirk
Celtic 1 - 0 Hamilton

Not so great. Really hoping Celtic slip up a couple more times so we can have the league wrapped up before the split and give some of the youngsters and fringe players even more game time. Would be great to see a team with Stevie Smith, Gregg Wylde, John Fleck, Andy Little, Danny Wilson, Jamie Ness, and maybe even Thomas Bendiksen (who promised so much when he came over) playing for a place in the first team.

And as I type, my heart skipped a beat as Hibs grabbed a winner against St. Mirren in the last minute. If ever a team deserves to split the Old Firm at the top it's Hibs this season. Simply fantastic to watch, and doing the Old Firm trick of grabbing last minute winners in close matches.

Also, highlights of the Dundee United vs Kilmarnock game should definitely be worth a watch when they come online. You don't get very many bad 4-4 draws.

Crazy. Just crazy.

Decent day for Liverpool with us winning comfortably and Tottenham only drawing. Just a point off 4th. City are 3 points behind us with 3 games in hand though :/

Leeds 2 Colchester 0

Normal league service is resumed

Oh and come on the Arsenal today

Oh Arsenal...you used to be so good

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 2:25 am

3-1, ooooh right. :coolvaultboy:

Dunno what Sir Alex said to Nani, but man, he's improved the last 3 games. Been one of our best players.

Oh well at least Chelsea won to stay top

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:53 pm

Well, Arsenal yet again demonstrated why they're not good enough to win anything. I never get tired of being right.

You always know when the mancs have won sir tosser always gives an interview afterwords

Oh lols of epic proportions. Robbie Keane's killer Celtic debut was in a 1-0 loss to the mighty Kilmarnock. It just gets better and better.

EDIT: Oh even greater lols, if Hibs win their game in hand they'll go second! :lol:

Motherwell 1 - 1 Rangers

Terrible game. Absolutely terrible. Rangers picked up in the last 15 minutes and got a well deserved goal, and Hately scored a great freekick for Motherwell, but that pitch is just not fit for playing on. I have seen public parks in a better state. How Motherwell haven't been fined and deducted points is beyond me.

Still, 8 points ahead of Celtic with one more game down. Could be worse.

Also, in our fantasy football, why are my best performers ALWAYS on the bench? On the bench this week - Craddock (6), Etherington (7), Diaby (8). On the pitch - Shawcross (1), Rodallega (1), Hunt (2). :meh:
