That's taken us down a peg or two but we won't play a better team all season. Those we do play will be desperate to beat us so it's going to be a hard, hard battle. I think Rossiter rather than Barton will be our man.

Never judge on twenty minutes of telly but an odd notion about Rossiter in the depths of my brain says Sammy Cox. "Don't be bloody stupid" I hear my old granny muttering from beyond the great turnstyle in the sky.

Can only laugh at wee Joe.

Always did.

Fair play to Stranraer. They tried to play.

Derek Rae ... "Motherwell had chances aplenty in their game, couldn't take them." Disfunctional reality perception?

True, though.

But Rangers would still have won in chances as well as in goals

Zero, I'm afraid.

Young singers have no patience.

On the small screen I watched the game on, Hodson bore a resemblance to Ricksen. Better defender than Nando.

Should do well.

Career spiralling downwards.

Actually, their wee song was quite funny.

Dastards!

I wish I could think up clever stuff like that.

I'm not keen on off-field yapplng.

Never render hostages to fortune.

Well done the Wagster.

Sutton's just awarded us a penalty and he wanted the 'keeper off a minute ago.

I'm beginning to warm to this man.

Sutton and Brown are only telling us the defence is poor. Who can argue with that?

I think the noble Earl's colours were of a deeper shade than this pansy outfit.

Shame. The Hearts were a classy club in the long ago.

Wgs had a rubbish start too.

Thanks for the video.

Notice the ballboy in an orange tracksuit behind the goal in front of the timmish. Note also that they do not appear to be abusing him or lobbing missiles.

Portugal tip-toed their way to the final rather like a team did to a largely forgotten final in Lisbon nearly half a century ago.

Not a great match but Portugal weathered the early storm and didn't look troubled after that.

The lesson is score early. But not too early in case you relax too soon and let the other side in. Maybe better to score late. Not too late obviously. Maybe a goal every twenty minutes. Ach what the hell do I know about it.

Icelanders and Welshmen followed their teams in vast hordes without looking and behaving like children. Lesson to be learned by the t.a.

Sensation! The French beat the Germans with no British or American players in their team.

Only saw the last twenty. Good stuff.

I've heard some suggest that it's embedded in the DNA of southern Europe and leaking northwards. I don't have he experience to know if that is right or just xenophobic propaganda.

Good player. Good captain.

How long before timmy is petitioning Sturgeon for the horse to be shot?

He's not tough enough.

This time last year I would have said Sammy Cox but sadly that's not an option so JG it is and Johnny Hubbard too.
