I just find it odd he was so far behind fitness-wise. I know English teams start pre season later than us but do they not do any running down there or something? He played (and scored) in a friendly against the Huns as well.

2-1 Killie

1-1

Brilliant result. Keeper, Sibbald and Dolcek and Sapsford excellent. Back 3 did well. Camara horrendous. Ball watching all night and ponderous in possession. Like a different player from Sunday. Hope to fuck Pappoe is ok.

Rapid's Press conference.

Very interesting. They seem to think United are very physical, they mention it numerous times.

They are giving us massive respect and have done their homework regards us it would seem. They talk about our games vs Una Strassen specifically.

They have a translator (who's Scottish).


 

 
The 'very physical' comment is the standard completely uninformed comment foreigners say about Scottish teams. The cunt has probably never seen us play. It's shite anyway, not just about United, but Scotland in general, we're the least physical/aggressive footballing nation going due to poor conditioning.

1-0 Rapid

1-1. Rhymes with Simon Murray is a mink.

Strain and Watters both got hurt during Thursday's game. Nammo and Fatah were injured against Oldham. Stirton was injured by a bad tackle at Brechin but is back fit thankfully. It's only Jort that pulled up in training.

In this case we've probably been unlucky although Fatah's injury has came about by playing in friendlies when he was nowhere near fit enough.

Whatever the reasons it is very frustrating though that our injuries seem to continue to mount up.

We've played one competitive match and have seven injured players already.

Watters
Graham
Fatah
Nammo
Fotheringham
Strain
VDS

I think one thing that compounds it is.

1) The complete lack of updates from the club which at times leads to wide speculation (Docherty last season, Fotheringham currently)
2) Players never coming back quickly. We always hear such and such 'won't make Saturday, but isn't far away'. Then another one, two of three games pass with no update.
 

 
Agreed.

Watt would have still been with us last season if it hasn't been for a) him turning up for pre-season about 2 stone overweight and looking like he'd been on a month-long bender in Ibiza and b) him taking the piss out of Goodwin on the bus coning back from a League Cup group game.

An arse of the highest order, even if he is actually a decent player.

Miller Thomson chucked on up front and looking like a little boy lost.
