RIP Quincy Jones
at 19:23 4 Nov 2024

In 1969 Quincy wrote two film soundtracks, one being The Italian Job, and recorded the fabulous Walking in Space album, which includes this track which I love and feels very appropriate right now...

Atmosphere yesterday
at 07:32 3 Nov 2024

Good atmosphere at the W end of Ellerslie, plenty of singing and chanting. There was a period in the second half after the sending off when the game looked like a stalemate and the ground went quiet, including the Sunderland fans. But apart from that, pretty good.

Celar - Nothing Again
at 19:48 2 Nov 2024

I saw enough in Celar today to change my mind about him. I saw him battle and scrap a bit, put in a few good passes, and was in the right place to have our two best chances of the afternoon; obviously it's a shame he fumbled the first and just missed with that second half strike.

I think we've (understandably) written him off too early. Maybe it really has taken him this long to adjust to the Championship. I'd say this was a solid 50% improvement in him today... by that metric, I reckon we might soon even see the striker we'd hoped we'd signed.

I'm enjoying the game. Proper old school cup tie. I'm glad the BBC have decided to really get into the FA Cup in the way they have, I think it reminds people of the incredible depth there is to football in this country.

Pinch punch first of the month
at 09:51 1 Nov 2024

Don't be fecund
You know second
May quench your logical thirst
For order,
But it's no first;
And third is turd
And fourth is flabby
And fifth is shabby
It's only the first
That earns the punch,
And even that has to happen
Before lunch.

Those fans though, seeing their team slowly but surely get a little bit further up the pitch... just starting to believe a little bit...

Turfed over once Moor - Burnley Match Fred
at 10:17 25 Oct 2024

Actually, I've reconsidered my mad team for Burnley, as Saito can't be a full back. I'm convinced this team would do far better than one with Celar up front.

Smyth Cook JCS Fox Saito

Turfed over once Moor - Burnley Match Fred
at 09:45 25 Oct 2024

I was thinking who could we use as a stand-in striker, and Jimmy Dunne came to mind. I have absolutely no doubt he would be better than Celar: better ball control, far more proactive, will bully defences, scores great goals.... It's just a matter of who replaces him at RB, Santos or Ashby. Would be the maddest, bravest decision Cifuentes has ever made, but we need something to break this dire run.

I also wonder whether they try everyone out in the striker role in training, just to see who stands out. Given our dearth of strikers, surely this would be a good idea?

Mad team for Burnley:

Nardi
Ashby Cook JCS Saito
Varane Field
Smyth Morgan Chair
Dunne

I was wondering that, and perhaps the rest is behind a paywall?

Anyway, this is a really good read:

Perhaps he's had a lobotomy since last season? Something's happened to the bloke. He looks like he's on autopilot.

Best rock and roll song of all time.
at 09:59 24 Oct 2024

Oh, a near impossible task, to choose one song! Alongside all the great songs already mentioned, my close runners-up: Black Dog, Zep; Janie Jones, The Clash (he's in love with rock'n'roll whoa); Back in the Night, Dr Feelgood; Radar Love, Golden Earring; Spread Your Love like a Fever, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club; Breathe, Prodigy; Planet Claire, B52s; Get Free, The Vines; Born To Be Wild; Steppenwolf....

It came down to two songs I couldn't get past, and I present both as live versions:

I think he's our most exciting prospect. Only 18 years old, yet he plays with maturity, confidence and a touch of swagger. A game-changer already, I think last night could be a turning point in the season, for him and for Rangers.
