Match Programme: The Weekends Action In Scotland - November 1st

2008-10-31T18:57:17+00:00

Jings, it's November already. We're three months into the season, we've played three World Cup qualifiers, the League Cup is at the semi-final stage, the Scottish Cup at the third round point and we've already lost two managers - where the hell did the time go? The SPL league table is taking on a familiar pattern.

Off the Ball: The Midweek Update

2008-10-29T11:49:26+00:00

It's Wednesday, which means there's only another few days until we get to swear and generally shout abuse at people we don't know from behind the safety of a thick line of polis and a great big fence. Ah, we can taste the meaty chunks in our half-time cup of tea already. Speaking of swearing, abuse [.

Match Day: The Weekend Action in Scotland - 25th October

2008-10-26T13:46:42+00:00

It's been another gala day of football across Scotland. Plenty of goals, with lots of drama and controversy. The second round of the Scottish Cup started today as well so it was another good chance for the lower league sides to show us what they're made of. There where a few surprises in the SPL, while [.

Match Programme: The Weekend Action in Scotland - 24th October

2008-10-24T10:54:18+00:00

Ah, when Saturday comes. As the economy flaps around our ankles like a pair of wet Y-fronts, for ninety-minutes (or ninety-five if you're rangers and you're a goal behind) we forget all about the impending collapse of capitalism and the rise of world communism and put on our scarves and rosettes and head down to the [.

Aye aye all, it's Wednesday (if only just), so just time for a quick update.

The only game without [.

A few things...

2008-09-29T21:53:00+00:00

I'm sleepy, so let's not dillydally... #1 - The weekend Americans Abroad goal roundup won't take long this time around, but at least somebody broke the drought. For the second straight Danish Cup match, Randers FC attacker Lee Nguyen lit the lamp. Check out his opportunistic marker here. A pair of homies in Norway's second fight picked up assists: Nybergsund's Joe Lapira and Haugesund's Cameron

Off The Ball: The Midweek Update

2008-09-25T14:28:16+00:00

Well, that's another exciting Scottish League Cup round out of the way, thank God. Note that we're refusing to call it by it's proper name, the somewhat long-winded Co-Operative Insurance Cup, because it sounds a little vague and doesn't convey any of the weight and gravitas that a domestic Cup competition ought to bring with [.

Serie A Weekend Round-up: Giornata 2

2008-09-15T20:08:49+00:00

Giornata 2 was another exciting week of Italian calcio. Inter and Juventus got back on track with wins, but Roma, Milan, and Fiorentina fell back a step with losses. Lazio continues to impress (Mauro Zarate especially) and Atalanta show they are a solid side. Cagliari still finds itself without any points (like Milan) and Massimiliano Allegri looks set to be on Cellino's chopping block.

Match Day: Iceland 1:2 Scotland

2008-09-11T06:26:09+00:00

It may have started brightly and ended on somewhat of a sour note, but the facts stand for themselves: two goals, one from Kirk Broadfoot, the other from James McFadden where enough to give George Burley his first win in charge of the national side as the three puts Scotland's challenge for World Cup 2010 [.

I know I'm running a bit late for a Monday, but it's been a busy few days. Now that I'm done making excuses, let's get to business... #1 - With a dramatically reduced Americans Abroad schedule, the weekend goal roundup shant take long. Cameron Weaver bagged his team-high eighth of the season in the 90th minute to earn surging Haugesund a 2-1 win over Hødd The lone assist of the weekend also

Funny Monday morning title goes here

2008-09-08T15:33:37+00:00

Most blogs have some sort of catch-all title for posts - often used on Mondays - that don't have any specific focus: 'Monday musings,' 'Quick hits,' 'Morning roundup,' 'Morning kickaround' etc. We don't have one of a title of that nature and I'm not sure I'm creative enough to come up with something different in this saturated market.

Off The Ball: Thursday Update

2008-09-04T13:51:16+00:00

The Inside Left kiss-of-death continues. As soon as we say that a team are playing well, stringing the results together and generally impressing, they go and lose. So it was that Deveronvale, mentioned in yesterdays early season review lost to local rivals Huntly in the Aberdeenshire Cup. Goals from Mike Ewen sank 'Vale at Christie [.

Two quick recommendations

Yes, the new Premiership season is upon us. We will be posting more frequently soon, but for now I will give warm recommendations to one article and one website.

Lee Dixon analyses the Chelsea midfield, and I must say that I found his analysis to be... well analysis.

Second, it has come to our attention that Guy Melton is also trying to look at soccer objectively.
