  1. Fred booked again but he won't mind as Ostersunds beat Hertha 1-0 at home in the Europa League. Two wins from two, quote incredible when you consider three short years ago most of this squad was playing second division football in Sweden. Next game in Europe is the mighty Athletic Bilbao at home on the 19th of October. Good luck to them, proper fairytale, this - and even if they lose both against them they're in with a superb chance of 2nd.
  2. I heard it on the radio a couple of days ago and at first I thought it was a parody.
  3. Hope he can make a go of it if he's going to this specialist in England. In other news, 'angry Morton fan' video makes another appearance at the foot of the article
  4. Ostersunds get a second in the last minute and thus top the group. Athletic Bilbao and Hertha drew 0-0 in the other game.
  5. Fred starts (and is booked) but Ostersunds are 1-0 up against Zorya Luhansk in Lviv after an hour.
  6. Notice Wake isn't stooping to wearing a hat, because that would cover His glorious mane.
  7. As evinced in part by his free-kick goal, I agree.
  8. Yes, terrible how Moshiri kicked you off the Board of Directors like that. It's no way to treat a club founder.
  9. Your two big teams playing each other and you didn't get a hospitality invite? I'm starting to suspect that you might not be this high-powered businessman/socialite type after all.
  10. How was the quiche at the Emirates?
  11. Big Luca Gasparotto scores for Falkirk as they sink 4-1 at home to country minnows Queen of the South FC.
  12. He only just signed a new deal at the end of last season, why are they so keen to get rid?
  13. Two late goals for Braga, FH out but a good run.
  14. My phone background is that photo of Pedro Caixinha standing in the hedge arguing with Rangers fans. I don't think I'll ever change it.
  15. Meanwhile FH are drawing 1-1 at Braga, losing 3-2 on aggregate, at half time. If they can score twice, Robbie Crawford's team will also be through to the group stage. Unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
  16. Fair play to them because it's quite the fairytale. It's not like they spent a ton of money to manage it. Certainly the team they beat tonight (PAOK) are a significantly bigger and richer club. In fact I just looked and of the team that started tonight, eight of them played for Ostersunds in the Superettan (second tier), including Fred. Of the ones that didn't, two of them were signed from other teams in Superettan. Only one player was anywhere near established in the top flight when he signed, Tom Petterson (the only ethnic Swede in the lineup), who was a squad player at IFK and previously played for Belgian no-marks OH Leuven. This is broadly what DDF had in mind when he was signing the likes of Dean Keenan and saying "the boys" deserved a chance to prove themselves at a higher level, but unfortunately instead of signing a bunch of hard-working professionals who were drilled to punch significantly above their weight, he instead lumbered the club with a job lot of gurning tossers who played naked table tennis when they weren't getting drunk and injuring themselves. Sad!
  17. If DDF won't push the boat out and invest in a time machine then that's sadly all too indicative of our lack of ambition.
  18. As McIntyre says his first touch for his goal was absolutely ****ing ridiculous and his reaction to the rebound was also great. If he's happy being a big () fish in a small pond, fair play to him, but with talent like that he could have gone places (places that aren't KFC)
  19. “I mean, I was told when I got the job that we wouldn’t sell any more than 500 replica strips in a year. Well, in the season just gone we sold 624 home strips to under six-year-old supporters alone." Who told him that, I wonder? Answers on a postcard.
  20. Irons was far from perfect but a sniveling wee dick like McLaughlin should remember the massive fucking glass house of failure he's built in his "career" before he throws stones.
  21. He doesn't lean back even one tenth if one degree. Just a titanium fucking God.
