So I thought I would drop the occasional post on Scottish football as well as my team, DUFC, if that is okay.
In the week John Collins commented that Celtic don't get the opposition in Scotland that prepares them for money making runs in Europe. He says this just before they play Killie, who have had a poor start to the season...
Result: 2-2, with Killie scoring a peach of a pen with little time to go.
Traditionally pens are not given out lightly against the Infirm so the boy did good.
Schadenfreude

In other news: Hearts make it 3 out of 3 and have started well, which has to be a good thing for the game in Scotland as they have escaped the bonkers Vlad.

DUFC away at Hamilton , Dundee at home to St Johnstone, which could be interesting.

Wots the league cup?:facepalm::oops:

Rovers are at mighty Braintree tomorrow, the last time we met, in the fa cup. It was postponed the first time! Hopefully the wonderful weather we're having doesn't put a damper on it!:rolleyes::eek:

My predictions were generally as usual, really bad!

So here goes!

Wins for City, Arsenal, utd tonight, terriers, Leeds, spurs, swans, saints and hammers!

Lots of draws this week end, but the superwhites will cruise to their third straight win!:)

Oh dear sorry Zand. The Leeds supporters on a football forum on Facebook had it coming to them they were bragging as per usual just like they were bragging about last Saturday. Look on the bright side you get the chance to concentrate on the league the same as us

Hopefully :). The April 2014 encounter at St Mary's was the game when Everton scored two own goals, prompting the Northam End to sing:

"We've got your back four,
We've got your back four,
Who needs Rodriguez?
We've got your back four"

(Jay Rodriguez had suffered a very nasty cruciate ligament injury, from which he has only recently recovered, and we were a bit light on strikers).

:D

Good luck to the Superwhites :cool:

People telling me how to control my diabetes. My health. Isms. People walking their dogs off leads in illegal areas. Meat that bleeds. Late buses.

Can't help agreeing. Sure, other teams can and will upset Celtic but who honestly thinks anyone can take the title off them unless they personally have a howler? Celtic's loss says more about them than Killie in most people's eyes and I think that is the point. Scottish teams boggle the world because Celtic could lose to Raith Rovers on the Saturday and beat Barcelona on the Wednesday.

I also think the fact that least season we still only heard about Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Hibs on the news, despite only one being in the topflight. Aberdeen and co were hardly given a mention. We seem stuck in the past at times I think.

Should have been at West Ham v Leicester today - came back from the West Country yesterday especially - but at home dosed up on aspirin with a summer cold. Was really looking forward to the game and gutted to be ill but now hmm...Want to see the Adrian sending off - BBC London commentators seemed astounded.

Sea filth!
Millwall got a special mention on Final Score..for the fine performance by Coventry in beating them 4-0 at The Den.

On the upside my husband won £43 by backing Leicester to beat the hamsters 2-1.

Oh well what can i say we took the lead but alas let it slip away and thankfully didnt lose all 3 points. I guess 1 point is better than none but it was another poorish performance and we still havent quite got it right. Good job theres still 44 matches to go we need to get stuck in and win win win.
