Thanks for the update, Rob. As they might say in some of the mair choochter pairts of oor land, the Buddies are needin' a bit mair Heedrum-hodrum in the team. A striker to heedrum, and a goalie to hodrum!

thanks for the round up ER.
If we play like that in the final game, we'll be lucky to get nil.

oh, and well done Leicester, fantastic stuff.

Thanks for kind Leicester words lads.

Would love a result v Boro tomorrow.

Any hopes or fears for your team this weekend?

Not wishing to spoil the fun, believe me, but The Round Ball Game looks set to be having to undertake a considerable amount of unpleasant navel-gazing in the foreseeable future and not for any reasons to do with the playing of said game; indeed, speculation is also already beginning to emerge as to whether other widely played round and non-round ball games might find themselves coming under similar scrutiny.

Whether there will be a fourth chair of the so far constantly stalled public inquiry by the time the outcomes of any such investigations are complete is, however, anyone's guess, but I suppose that the content of the concluding reports will serve only to add yet more to the burden of that already well overwhelmed inquiry.
