That wasn't Grobbelaar. Mike Hooper was in goal that day, Brucey was at home
injured. 

Knowing Grobbelaar he probably would have saved that shot (had he played) only
to allow another to dribble through his hands later on !.

baa! He's too fat and too slow.

(Once upon a time, he was the example to quote to all forwards falling
over in the hope of a penalty 'open your eyes and think of Maradona'.

Just imagine the wee fella, tripped! but does he fall over, Penalty!
ref! Nope, not a bit of it, he keeps on going stumbling, chasing,
fighting for it! "Thats my ball!", winning it, scoring many times.

Now he's just a ball player looking to score whatever he can, today a
goal, tommorrow coke, the day after fish with too many chips).

Well they lost on Saturday at home to Hibs so by the same reasoning shall we
see a posting on the net from you pronouncing that Celtic are crap. No,
probably not, as being a part-timer you only post when Celtic win or should I
say, don't get beat. Out of the eight league games so fat this season, Celtic
have won only three. Hardly form of "the best side in Scotland".

Incidenatlly, still not answered those questions Gerry?

As for 10,000 going to Cologne, what are gibbering about!

I wonder how this will affect the APSL's Colorado Foxes (if at all).  Anyone
know how they're doing?  Or the rest of the APSL for that matter?  I heard a
rumour from overseas courtesy of World Soccer that the APSL and CSL are 
discussing a merger.  If true this could create a good starting base for a
US/Canada combined league much like exists in baseball and was the case with
the old NASL.

I have a copy of Rangers' balance sheet for 1991, it lists the total transfer
cost of players on the books at 31 May 1991 as #13.6m. Players wages
for the year amounted to #4m. It lists fixed assets of #35m (doesn't include
players) and liabilities of #10m. Turnover for the year was split 50-50 on
football activities and commercial activities. In the section on transfer
spending there is an entry of #2m from the sponsors.

The game was played in 40C degree heat, and in 80% humdity on a bumpy pitch!

Australia dominated the first half but were a spent force in the 2nd and
Solomon islands capitalised!

Tommy McCulloch scored the winner with a 30m drive!!!!!!

Australia found it hard to play their silky style withe the bumpy pitch and
very tired in the second half!

After the Swiss game, pressure will be on the Scottish Head Teacher to play the

GORAM     (MIM FC)
MCPHERSON (MIM FC)
ROBERTSON (MIM FC)
BROWN     (MIM FC)
NISBET    (MIM FC)
MCCALL    (MIM FC)

FERGUSON  (MIM FC)
DURRANT   (MIM FC)
MCCOIST   (MIM FC)
DURIE     (SPURS, BUT HEART LIES AT MIM FC)

If there is some surprise at the inclusion of Nisbet, it should be pointed out
that his failure to be a regular member of the MIM FC first team this season
made him an automatic choice for the Scotland team.

Mr Murray is rumoured to be having talks with his friends in HM Government
about the possible renaming of an area of real estate somewhere north of
Watford to MIMLAND.

Just a rumour?

Whole heartedly agree with these sentiments.  Airdrie play perhaps not the
silkiest football but anyone who witnessed Saturday's game against Utd. must
give them full marks for determination. commitment and at times a bit of skill
- if it weren't for the opposition goalie it could have been a much more
realistic representation of the match as it were played.

What a load of pish!!!  Concentrate on supporting The Diamonds, or your own
team, or both but let us not wish for a moment that Scotland be  humiliated
again.  There is nothing I would like to see more than Airdrie winning ECWC
'93,  Celtic roasting Hearts in the final of the UEFA cup and of course Lynby
hammering the Huns in front of 40000 bluenoses on Wednesday night.

Yeah I like that too.  Sure beats missing a goal during a commercial break.
When I called the local affiliate this morning they were pleased to hear from
someone about the broadcast and said they'll be carrying the games right on 
through May so we'll actually get so see quite a bit.  This pleases me no end.

No, that distinction goes to Paul McStay as his recent transfer saga shows.
While McCoist may well be over-rated his record is second to none at Ibrox
since the war unlike Creany whose record is second to everyone. It is common
observation that SAlly misses more than he scores and had he put away the
chances against Celtic two weeks ago Rangers would have won. However, McCoist
is the current holder of the Golden Boot and is currently the top scorer in
Scotland this season. While Creaney is a good player and a goal scorer, he
still has a lot to learn, just like Duncan Ferguson. McCoist has been Rangers
top scorer for nine out of the ten seasons that he has been at Ibrox. He had
to wait in the wings while Scottish legends like Steve Archibald and Frank
MacAvennie played for Scotland about six years ago. Creaney's time will come
but it will not be in place of McCoist. The finger should be pointed at
Gallacher, McClair, Durie, Fleck e.t.c.

Incidentally, as we go into our first World Cup qualifier against Switzerland
this week in Berne, it is almost a year since we came back from 2-0 at
half-time to take a point which meant we qualified for defeat in Sweden. It
was a certain McCoist who got the equaliser that night.

On a different note, when I went away after the Celtic game we had been
playing crap and were fifth in the league. I come back and we're top and
playing brilliant and I've missed those three games!
