No, it was just well placed. The mistake was letting the boy get a shot.

Here we go with the amateur dramatics and the kid-on stretchers.

That wasn't Fraser's fault.

No idea what went on there.

Yaass. No idea what it was for - a wee shove in the back?

Back noo. BBC says the Albanians hit the post in the 47th minute.

Settle for that at half time.

Hit the bar (looking at the replay)

All part of the fun of Euro fitba - working out the refs.

I think UEFA insists on them when it's hot.

So are we going to play everything up the right side in the first half, so we can stay in the shade?

Were Setanta not supposed to be broadcasting these games? If so, then I imagine the Beeb had planned accordingly. With Falkirk to cover as well in this round, the early kick-off and The Open going on, I'm not surprised there isn't much coverage of a pre-pre qualifying round from Albania.

Sounds promising. Just don't tell anybody in this board that he has a Scots maw, but wants to play for England or Jamaica

It varies from stream to stream. You don't usually need anything extra as long you as you have Flash installed. Occasionally, a different player is required which, if you're on a Mac, would mean you are screwed. You should be able to get a few of the links that Robyn posted to work.

I'm sure The Sun have compensated him in some way.

Just you. I see it listed at 11:30am ET.

No, between Mussolini, Stalin and Chairmain Mao, you ran a pretty tight ship over there compared to all that democracy nonsense. Well played.

Just hope that ESPN don't ship over Tommy Smyth (with a 'Y') to do the commentaries.

Would you have preferred it if an Airdrie fan did the write-up? What if 2 Scotland fans had done this at Hampden? Would all Scottish journalists be betraying their country if they wrote a piece on it? Seriously, if you can't be dispassionate when you write a story, then you have no chance of making it as a journalist. The anger should be directed at the scumbags who hit the old man. Shooting the messenger is pointless.

Flamurtari, Llanelli Tony, Faraway Saint. There seems to be one at every club.

I couldn't care less what Sun readers think about anything, and if this story means a few less people buy that rag in the future, then well done to Scott for writing the story.

You are confusing us with Airdrie Utd. We have made a profit every year for the last few years. Nice wee dig though - I still think you are based closer to Motherwell than Albania; but I'm just a cynic.

I thought Flamurtari was just Llanelli_Tony posting under a new user name

Brian McLair was an unknown Aston Villa player when we picked him up (although Villa were a top team at the time).

Aye, because every decent player in the world starts their career at Man U or Chelsea. It's impossible to pick up a good player anywhere else.
