I watched Scotland play a more accomplished Wales last night. No one in blue played particularly well but when Charlie Mulgrew prepared to take a corner from the right in first half stoppage time we knew Wales were in danger.
The pace, low trajectory and movement Charlie gets on the ball negates the natural advantage the defending team has. The goal had little to do with the young lad who got on the end of the cross, just as Celtic’s remarkable success from corners has little to do with their ability to attack the ball.
The Wee Oscar 4 Life team have asked me to pass on this message:

We will look after the wee one till her mum accepts her back. Mrs weefra is just having a love in with her as we speak. But, as you say, it will be a long night for us. As long as the wee one survives, it will have been worth it. Thank you for your endorsement.
Weefra HH.
It really is a wonderful sight to see a new born, any animal, taking their first steps.
Weefra HH
Weefra, of course she will, thanks to the efforts of you and the Mrs.!
WF is this guy wearing on his head?

macjay,
Had to look that up to remind myself what it means, though I don’t even know if I ever did – I think I did, it looks familiar. But seeing as these days I can’t remember if I had a shower or what colour underpants I’m wearing, it’s a blessing I have no weans to forget.
Am not alluding to a disease or illness here – I’ve been blessed with a lucky and fortunate life, lack of known off-spring excluded.
And now I come to the conclusion, I’ve genuinely forgotten what my main point was, and have my head in my hands.
Alchohol….it gives so much with one hand, and takes more away with the other. And this is me sober :))
Anyway, I raise a coffee and Hail Hail to “wee bambi” and to her adoptive parents.!
…AND to 16 Roads’ wee bunny….:)

Talking of black sheep and crack…a song I’m listening to just now:
Am assuming oor Boab hand-picked this backing band because, like him, they’re reformed ex-satanists, hence their new found passion in music and the love of life :))

Morning bhoys and ghirls. , from a dry and chilly G2, soon to be Cv4 .
I’ve grown to hate these international breaks – all of a sudden you have no excuse for the chores that need done and you’re reduced to checking the lower division scores !

The Great Swaldo is in receipt of a great deal more than 15000 per week.
The main reason why he is unsackable, Chuckles is trying everything to get him to go ‘with dignity’. Swally is no WGS however, he is clinging to the wreckage like a limpet. Chuckles can’ t even use the nuclear option of ‘….it’s him or me!’ after he made himself look a complete tit over the Murray fiasco.
Long may the fat failure feature in the fiasco unfolding!!!!
Hail Hail!!!!!

Ger’d your loins! Glasgow Rangers will be playing in England within FIVE YEARS says Ibrox chief
24 Mar 2013 22:30
Charles Green says Rangers could start in the Conference and work their way up, Celtic are coming too – and he’ll use EU law to force it through
We’re coming: Rangers’ chief executive Charles Green
Tim Anderson
Glasgow Rangers will be playing in England within five years, the Ibrox chief executive has predicted.
And Charles Green insisted the inevitable arrival of the Old Firm will also benefit the game south of the border.
The most successful club in Scottish history are ready to start in the Conference and play their way up to the Premier League. And the outspoken Yorkshireman is prepared to go to court to remove a rule he judges is a restraint of trade as blatant as Bosman.
But Rangers want to be wanted. And Green insists the Ibrox club’s demotion to the Third Divison, a softening in UEFA attitude and the economic crisis have given fresh impetus to a perennial debate.
“Whether it is next week, because the English authorities change their mind, or in five to 10 years, Rangers and Celtic will leave Scotland,” Green stated.
“I would like to think within five years. I say to English clubs: Don’t be afraid of the unknown. There will be cross-border leagues and that will change the face of European football. These doors are opening.”
The financial benefits to Scotland’s big two are obvious. Celtic will earn £2.4million from TV for winning the SPL this year while Rangers, who can win the Third Division title this weekend, will bank only £10,000 for 15 live matches. And the impact on Scottish football is debatable, with Green offering to leave a colts team in the Third Division.
But the problem is England does not want them. In 2009, when Bolton floated the idea of a two-tier Premier League to include the Old Firm, the proposal was quickly sunk. And new broadcasting deals are worth a staggering £5.5bn over the next three years. Why would Premier League clubs outside the elite want rivals for their top-flight place? Why would England want Rangers and Celtic?
“Why would football clubs or football authorities not want Rangers and Celtic?” responded Green, whose club sold 38,500 season tickets in the fourth tier of Scottish football. “If they say: ‘It wouldn’t add anything into the game’, they are lying.
“I watched Southampton play Wigan. The stadium wasn’t full – there were empty seats. Now there is no way on God’s earth that any team that Rangers play will have empty seats.
“That is what football wants – to bring the money in. Not just to keep banging Rupert Murdoch’s door and say we want some more money.
“When you say the English FA and Football League don’t want us, when you look at some of these clubs, Portsmouth have gone bust three times in four years. Two English clubs have come to me and said: ‘Buy us and close us down. Take us for free and take on the liabilities’.
“I have spoken to a number of chief executives from Premier League clubs – and all of them would welcome Rangers. Of the people I have spoken to directly, or people on my behalf have spoken to, throughout the leagues – 20 – only two have said no.”
Going bust and reforming in the Third Division has given an alternative route down south. After winning their 54th title or reaching the 2008 UEFA Cup Final, it would have been hard to argue for joining English non-league football. But after falling out with the Scottish authorities – Rangers still don’t know which division they will play in next season – that is now the plan.
“I don’t want to go into the Premier League,” Green claimed. “It would be wrong. If the Premier League sent me an invite saying we could start next year, I would turn it down.
“I don’t want to go into the Football League. But what I do want to do is to start playing football in England, and knowing that if I win that league, I get promoted to the next one and the next one. And no one can stand there and say we can’t get promoted because you are a Scottish club.
“Could you imagine the income generation Rangers and Celtic would create in the Conference? Every Conference stadium would be full. And then to work through the leagues over the next three or four years would refresh English football because this staleness that is affecting Scottish football is prevalent here.”
Ironically, as payers of taxes to the British treasury, Green insists Rangers have the right to play in England.
“Under European law, (stopping us) is categorically a restraint of trade,” he claimed. “It is clearly the same law as Bosman. If people think that is right, they are in cloud cuckoo land because it is not right. I am an outspoken Yorkshirman, I call a spade a spade and I say it. Others whisper in corners and I think it is wrong.
“Now if we are not good enough, and the Football League clubs vote that they don’t want us in, I accept that. That is fine. But don’t tell me there is a law that is outside of the laws of this country and outside of the laws of the EU.
“I don’t ever want to go to court. The club secretary is in contact with the FA to try to fix an appointment for me to meet them. This is not Cheryl Cole v Ashley Cole. We want to talk face to face.”
