Hated adored never ignored

Man City's new shirt must be the dullest in the Premiership.

Almost a week later than expected, but my weekend (and longer) reading sorted

Had a swatch yet? Any good? I was tempted but in the end decided (hopefully incorrectly) that it would just be full of the usual Old Firm pish.

I've read a few of the articles, and a glorious lack of mention of either of them*. Very well written, not your standard Scotish fitba fare.

*there is one article which mentions Sellic and an article about Davie Cooper so OldCo will get a mention no doubt, but I can live wi that...

In that case, unlike Duncan Bannatyne, I'm in.

An example of how non-standard it is: the first photo is from Eyemouth United v Edinburgh City, 1995.

A pitch the amateur team I help out with played at last year. Although Eyemouth Amateurs folded in the close season so we'll not be there again this year.

I like Snodgrass a lot.

Me too.

Facile victory for Celtic over the plucky premier league newcomers - cracking hat trick from the boy Dembele!

Has anybody read this - http://dundeebarryleighgriffiths.blogspot.co.uk/

The writer was a poster on Pie & Bovril and when Leigh Griffiths started to write a blog on joining Dundee, DundeeBarry started to post his version. It was quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever read on a forum. Training under Jocky Scott (who arrived every day on his jetpack) consisted of shoplifting at Asda, dodging the security guards whilst collecting items on a list Jocky drew up each morning. They played practice games with carrier bags filled with Gary Harkin's hair - he sat at the side of the pitch being shaved continuously by two Polish barbers who filled the bags for the players to kick around. The end of each training session was marked by Jocky Scott being fired from a huge cannon over the wall into Tannadice shouting "C'mon you Arab bastaaaaards!"

DundeeBarry got offered the chance to have his posts turned into a book so they were all pulled from the forum which is a shame because the book changes all the names into fictional ones.

I remember that guy. Absolutely hilarious. It won't be anywhere near as funny with changed names.

Yes but when they come up against serious opposition they seem to have a few mishaps. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37331224

Celtic have done alright when they've faced Barcelona in the past. Rodgers is clearly to blame for that beasting.

Feyenoord take the lead against Man U with an offside goal. Oh what joy.

And I can hear the whining Mourinho already.
