I met him in the bar of a Dublin hotel once, the night Ireland beat Italy in the 1994 World Cup. I’d been there all day for a wedding, he and Frank Stapleton had nipped in for a pint after working on the RTE broadcast of the game. Seemed a lovely fellow, but I was too far gone to remember anything the two of them said. |

Good News for me. I had tickets for another event. So now I can witness the fiery collapse of the hubris of the gods, then Wagner’s Götterdämmerung on the Saturday. |

Now Rangers are reliably competent for the moment, we can revive the old days when FC visit the Broncos next month! |

Nothing to do with FC’s form then? |

I’m in Ireland this week so can’t follow the feed. Great start to the competition, even the Tigers are good! For god’s sake, keep hold of Lachie Galvin, he’s a phenomenon, but yeah, Ezra Mam, what an entertainer. |

Great game for Begovic in shabby chic. |

Germ-Free Adolescent by XRay Spex of course! Amazing to think how long it’s been since poor Poly died.
I only went to see the Twins because a girl I fancied was going, honest. |

Ashamed to admit I know that’s Into The Gap by the Thompson Twins. Even worse, I saw them.
Beneath that yellow shirt beats a heart of solid dirt. [Post edited 1 Apr 9:51]

Bacuna was crocked I think, hobbled off very slowly.
Add the ref to the list. Apart from the horizontal drop-ball, the highlights showed a very bad foul by Laird on Chair got the first goal free kick. Second yellow, surely? |

He may have concluded that they don’t have the defensive steel to grind their way to safety. They’re not going to be able to draw six so why not try to win two or three? |

Delirium brought on by exhaustion and fasting perhaps. He did seem emotionally overwhelmed. Who knows, perhaps he asked God for a miracle and he’s having to cope with implications of having a prayer answered immediately! |

Thinking of Type B relegations after watching the longer Sky highlights, Jimmy was close to being the villain rather than the hero. I hadn’t noticed at the time that he had taken out Paik for the free kick before the goal.
If Thomas Frank had read it in time, he’d have had a couple of minutes thinking about them too after Mount’s (Mount’s!) goal. [Post edited 30 Mar 22:48]

£1,250 a goal makes it seem more reasonable. Certainly comparable to front stall seats at a West End show (if they include a hand job from the leading lady/man). |

Ruddy looked a nervous nelly with the ball at his feet a few times too. He had a long chat with Begovic at the end, maybe two old dogs complaining about having to learn new tricks. |

I must have been watching a different game! I thought he was terrific yesterday, always demanding the ball and getting them going forward, I can’t believe he wasn’t closed down more directly. Colback made his life a little more difficult when he came on and Bacuna hobbled off later. I think the verdict on Rowett becoming too negative is harsh too. Even with his best player forced off, Stansfield had a shot into the side netting that looked in from my seat and they had that late free kick just before Jimmy’s goal I could hardly bear to watch. If Bacuna’s OK and they set up like that again I can see them chiselling out a couple of wins. |

The left corner was for their fans, presumably to make up the 10% quota. That section was cordoned off from the rest and they were allowed to sit in the front rows, unlike the rest. Not seen that before. Presumably you have to offer them the chance to sell 1,800 tickets, but you can pull back the overspill section if they’re not getting close. |

Sanderson seemed to handle Frey fairly comfortably, different story with Armstrong. I was quite struck with his control today, he was bringing the ball down and moving off much smarter than I’ve seen before. |
