Playing in Europe though.

I hope Rasmussen gets more playing time than Samaras this season.

You don;t mean that SB.

He scored 7 goals last season in 33 games. Two were against Rangers, and three were against Inverness. So he only scored in four games.

They weren't all starts.

I'd much rather have a poacher off the bench than a target man.

Rasmussen is one of the slowest and worst players I've seen in my life. The guy makes Velicka look like Ronaldo 9 in his prime.

Who the fuck would call Samaras a target man? Just because he is over 6ft? Never seen the guy win a header in my life.

Don't see why we never gave Rasmussen a proper chance to be honest. He looked like a decent poacher and I still think he'd score plenty of goals if we gave him a chance.

Not like we gave him much of a chance. You support/prefer Celtic, cheesy?

My main team is Greenock Morton as I go to their games and they're my local team, but my second teams are Celtic and Manchester United. I don't know how anyone can't admire Celtic for their tradition and great history.

Do you go to the games? I've been to a few, with my most recent being the home game against Arsenal in the CL qualifier.

I was planning to go to the legends game, but I wasn't able to get tickets. That was a shame, as it will been a good occasion for a worthwhile cause.

I don't live in Scotland anymore. Went to a couple games in 2003/2004 and a couple more in 2004/2005.

I went to a game against Dundee in 03/04. Funnily since I mentioned the legends game, it was the only game where John Kennedy ever scored.

SPL games seems like the shiz, I went to one game, and it was amazing. The atmosphere is really good.

And SB, Samaras for top scorer

I'd be surprised if he reached double figures TBH. Out top scorers will probably be Hooper, Stokes, and Commons.

You should see Cappielow when Morton have a big game. Since we still have terracing, the crowd can go to 10,000 in a big game, as it did against Celtic last year. Atmosphere that day was superb.

We've got St Mirren in a competitive game for the first time in ages, so I think the crowds going to be at least 5,000. Those sort of crowds show what football is all about in a way. We can be very local, but not to the extent where we take things too far or anything like that.

I will be level with you, I agree, he isn't the most prolific, I would say 10 goals is about right for him.

Mon the Hearts

Where do you think you'll finish? 3rd, as always?

Probably

The only really World Class fans in the SPL is Rangers & Celtic. The atmosphere they create is second to none.

Dang, Dunfermline 3-3 Inverness. Dunfermline equalised in the last minute.

Surprised that St Mirren were able to get a point today. They've made a good start, but I still think they'll be near the bottom of the table in a relegation battle by the end of the season.

How? They totally dominated. Even with 10 men, Their passing was tremendous.

Yeah St Mirren are probably the most improved team in the SPL this year. There is no way that they're going down.

I wouldn't be surprised if they finished 7th tbh. Darren McGregor & Nigel Hasslebaink are fucking class.

A lot of people have been talking about Hasselbaink, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him move in January. If he does stay though, I could see him as a possible contender for young player of the year.

Craig Brown was in no mood to forgive Richard Foster for the "suicide" he believes handed Celtic an undeserved 1-0 victory over Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

This guy has got to be the biggest moaning idiot of all time. Undeserved? 62% possession and 13 shots to 3 says otherwise. Our finishing was poor though. The goal was our only shot on target.

It wasn't as impressive as the performance in the first game against Hibs, but there's no doubt that we still deserved to win.

We were nearly always in control of the match to be honest. Even when it was 0-0, I didn't really have any worries that we might somehow lose.
