Would the Railway Sleeper play the whole match, or just the last half hour, when all else has failed?

It is the impact a quintessential Big Lad Up Front will have on the style of play that concerns.

ROUTE 1 ALERT @Rousseau!!! Latest rumour, from WhatsApp, so its veracity may be warranted, is that Rangers are interested in Wout Weghorst: The 6ft 6 centre forward who always came on as a sub for Holland, when they were desperate. He was at Man Utd for a spell, although, did nothing of note, i I r c. Apparently in the last year of his Burnley contract and not on massive EPL wages. Long Ball is the new Tiki-Taka. (And you heard that here, first.)

Of course he is is back training, as he is contractually obliged to do. He can't just swan around until the Riyals, or the Euros, clear. If the deal with whomever, for whatever, falls through, he might have to play for us......

I'd rather believe "my" report. Or, indeed, any one which increases the 3M GPB fee I doubt, if he is Saudi bound, he will be taking a pay cut, although the tax regime in the Kingdom would influence, heavily, the bottom line.

From WhatsApp, ergo beyond impeachment, obvs, a rumour, or two, of Trumpian standards : This messenger will dodge any bullets that you fire in his direction, with Trumpian suppleness, and subtlety of movement.

Perhaps they appointed a selling agent some time ago, on the hush hush and QT, and, since receiving that commission, it scoured the world, relentlessly, for a suitable mark, found one, and has been in negotiations with him, again on the hush hush and QT, ever since. Of course it could all be a lot of utter bollocks, but a goy can dream, surely.....

You can take the boy out of Whitecraigs.....but can you....

......read on... And it's a belter. Don't shoot the messenger, is all I ask 'Sagi' in Hebrew means 'elevated' or 'sublime', but you knew that. It seems that Teddy Sagi does exist, and is worth c 6.4Billion GBP. Insha'Allah.....

"Past Heroes". There is a clue in there.

I, too, should prefer that McCausland was the starter. However, I think that he has to give as many as possible a run out, or two, over the warm-ups games. He would be vilified by the support if he started players, in the early competitive matches, if these guys had not played since May. We were OK for 20 mins, or so, v ManUtd. We remain, however, sluggish of mind, and of body. Dessers is dug meat: slow. ponderous, persistently offside, and a shot like my old granny. But in the final third, we are woeful generally, so maybe I should not single him out.

We haven't yet emerged. But if you don't think that we will emerge......

I wonder, if PC did not give Lawrence, Wright, and anybody else we don't fancy, significant run-outs, pre-season, and is forced to select, any, or all, of them, for competitive matches, in a couple of weeks, what opprobrium we would heap upon his head.

The contractor for the Copland Stand works is shipping the steel, and precast flooring, etc. not the Club. At least I hope so. It would be a compounded, and unnecessary, risk for the Club to have nominated sub-contractors, or, suppliers. (Maybe that is why the guy got sacked!! Christ!!)

Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away.... Not acceptable training practice these days. More is the pity.

Stage, surely. Hence the slow progress.

No. No. Scrum-half is a key position, these days.

The best team in the Tournament, and the better on the night, won. No argument.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The fucking Toblerone, which has a splendid shape, and impressive rigidity, but softens under a little bit of pressure.....
