Yup, in an area blighted by the sectarian rivalry between norse pagans and wannabe vikings. Sound familiar?

Breiðablik (known as UBK Kopavogur when playing in European competitions) was founded in 1950 and is the smaller sports club in Kópavogur in Iceland, HK being the bigger one. Breidablik has several divisions, both men's and women's: football, athletics, basketball, karate, dance, skiing, swimming and team handball. The men's football team are notorious for bouncing between the two top leagues in Iceland, getting promoted and relegated regularly. They won promotion to the Úrvalsdeild, the top division, yet again in 2005. Before the tournament in 2006 they were expected to be relegated from the top division along with ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar, but they proved everyone wrong in the final rounds, finishing in 5th place ahead of ÍA Akranes, Fylkir, Grindavík and ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar and saving themselves from relegation.

fuck knows how that was worked out.

Why would Hateley spit the dummy if he had to play midfield?

Great idea, has this been running for a few years?

He owns the Boathouse restaurant in Kilsyth. It's very nice.

I cant tell if thats a joke or not.

Ah yes. I was actually hoping big bad Boyle would see it as a personal invesment or some pish.

I take it the Ruddy + Juke for £250K rumour is well and truly dead? I quite liked that one flying around.

I remember JOB getting trials in friendlies at the same time as a wee African midfielder and McGhee was annoyed that we couldn't afford the 50K needed to sign him. Makes me think JOB was free and that's where the 50K number came from?

You used to funny now and then. Whats happened?

Can anyone else see similarities to Englands "who will we get in the semis" patter here? I know I've contributed too, just an observation.

Given the teams that are already (or likely) to be in the 4th QF, if we did manage to make it that far, would anyone happily take Celtic?

It takes a real poetic mind to rhyme "well" with "well". Brilliant.

Fuck me, I've been away on holiday for a week and you are still crying?

Got the DVD yesterday, much appreciated!

I'm over the moon. Don't gee a fuck how we get in. The whole experience, from the draws to the games to the wee bit of extra revenue for the club makes me wonder why any Motherwell fan wouldn't want us to be part of it.

Most the views seem to be coming from Poland. Obviously the words oot that he's half decent and eligible to play for them.

Hmmm, just read up. 5 goals in 38 appearances for Swindon Town (some of which might be in league 2). "Proven" might be too strong a word. I wonder how much say Lukas will have in things. He's said he'd love to stay at Motherwell, that's got to count for something right? Of course not.

Canny watch that without welling up a wee bit.

Yup, I think Boyle might try dig deep for this one if he can view it as an investment i.e 3 year deal with intention of selling on after 2. Thing is, I've heard him mentioned on talksport a few times today (think he got interviewed too) and I think he might be getting a name outside of Scotland. Could put a big expensive spanner in the works.

Think I've still got some in my pants. I'll see what I can do...

Tonight, I really don't care. But since I'm here anyway... can't speak for the Rangers game but thought we missed Jennings and Lasley tonight. They do a great job of making attacks difficult for the opposition, we looked seriously exposed in front of the back four. Don't wanna dwell on it too much though, it's no every day we see a game like that and I'm gonnay enjoy it. Back to the beeers.

Best game in 15 years of going to Fir Park. Think av broke ma finger.
