Blue is the colour...


Thanks to Thompo for the pic

A pretty good weekend for my teams. Linfield had their 5-0 'Pflichtsieg' (expected victory, Andy boy?) over Armagh with a hat-trick from past-it fatboy Ferguson ;), the Gills managed a rare win over Hartlepool (Neale Cooper's two former clubs, incidentally) and TeBe... Won NINE - nil!! OK, the first XI of our opponents were missing due to complicated backroom turmoil, and we beat the first XI 4-0 last season, but a win's a win when you're at the bottom. Good report from AndyBoy here .

In other news, Rangers got hammered 3-0 by Celtic to leave them 15 points behind in the SPL and to leave Alex McLeish's days truly numbered. His tropy haul is impressive, but 2 wins in 12 ain't good enough for Rangers, and you're measured by your record compared to Celtic. What a turnaround. At the beginning of August, after Celtic's embarrassment in the CL and defeat to Rangers, everyone wanted Strachan out. Patience here paid off. In Rangers' case however, patience has been displayed for months as the crap performances accumulated (my bro can vouch for one, having been at the 1-1 home draw with Inverness...) and with a manager who performed wonders at Hearts before his chairman started meddling in team affairs waiting in the wings, again it's time for a change I think.

Well Rangers are playing well in the CL this year, no doubt about that... but they gotta be winning more in the league. To be fair, I dont care though.

Pflichtsieg is another crap Kraut word that doesnt really exist in English I think. Dont you footy gimps say stuff luck a "must win" or some crap like that. Otherwise expected victory sounds good. Still doing that plastic surgery stuff myself... it never ends AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhh!

Well I knew thatd get you back... I just watch you because I know where ladies are involved you are known for getting the priorities wrong.

wrong penis, football - beer - women is still the order, i have never missed a game cos of a girl, if they get in the way, they come along (as in the B03 match last season) or they're left behind. Not sexist, that is life.

You better watch it penis. You psycho behaviour may take its toll. On 1 weblog you are the thinking man who loves the ladies and on this one youre the football man with priorities. Just make sure these 2 personalities dont become completely seperate. Lets be fair the decision rests with all of us on the factor of how desperate we may or may not be at any set time.

Right I will pop over to your other blog now to discuss culture, cheese, wine and the meaning of words and poems that made me think and I will leave the footy, beer and priorities blog behind!
