Let's also not forget that Craggs has started over 250 games for us (and come on as a sub in another 13), so if the figure of 6 OGs is about right, then that's only about one per season on average. When you're playing in central defence for a team like us that's going to be under the kosh in more games than not, it's not such a high figure really.

Jimbo's thoughts on the game: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/8175035.stm

Where's Ice Rink when you need him?

Maybe they expect all those Irish Celtic fans to tune in, as they'll have half a chance of understanding the commentary..

Think there's some truth in that, although much of that first 15 minutes was probably in turn due to the preparations in Austria-- we probably had one of the fittest squads in the SPL that day, and for some time into the season.

Ian St.John's of course (available in club shop), and Peter Marinello's "Fallen Idle" are two that spring to mind.

Also the more recent "Motherwell FC - On This Day", available from the club shop. Not exactly a book about MFC's history, but covers many parts of it nonetheless... http://www.motherwelldirect.co.uk/acatalog/BOOKS.html

Excellent news. As much time as I had for Mark McGhee, it's certainly refreshing to have a manager who (for the moment, at least) seems to be able just to go and get the players he needs, rather than waiting for months for his "contacts" to come up trumps.

Herald's reporting that Hughes has signed for Norwich. http://www.theherald.co.uk/sport/headlines...new_signing.php

Yep, I have it here. Can't easily put it anywhere right now though... A propos of nothing, that game was Paul Quinn's debut, too.

I never "expect" to finish top 6, or to be relegated for that matter. So I'll vote for bottom 6 and *hope* to be surprised

That was "a first leg defeat at home", IIRC...

And inevitably, it's now 1-0 Flamurtari.

Wouldn't be too hard on him, always a game of bluff and double bluff on a re-take. Sometimes the keeper will expect you to do the same thing, sometimes he won't.

On the plus side, it was never a penalty anyway!

YASS! 1-0 'Well! EDIT: Nope, retake! EDIT: Missed! Still 0-0...

Penalty?! I think !

Half time, 0-0. Can't complain about that, I suppose.

They've hit the bar as well now...

Wish somebody would just take a punt from outside the box!

http://flamurtari.co.nr/ seems to be the winner for streaming video coverage at the moment -- looking good.

To be fair to Scott, we also don't know what he actually wrote. By the time a story has been sub-edited to match the available space and the paper's idea of what makes a good story (and this is The Sun we're talking about here), it doesn't necessarily bear much resemblance to the original copy.
