The Round Ball Game

[teamsaint]

Arsenal player scored a goal with his fucking gloves!!!!???

thats dreadful.

our striker didn't need gloves to score.

I think Arsene Wenger is seeing his last season at Arsenal. Not been very good for him recently, but hey ho?

I was a very happy chap with the results yesterday!

[johncorrigan]

First visit to Bayview Park; indeed first visit to Methil, as far as I can recall, to watch the Buddies beat East Fife and progress to the Quarter finals of the Scottish Cup. Absolutely perishin' with rain, sleet and snow and swirling wind and slipping pitch...and they ran out of pies at half time. The away support was in fine voice and though I had about 5 layers on I still spotted the bare-bellied Buddy on view. What a laugh for a day out! 2-3 flattered the home team...great third goal for the Saints...hope we can avoid Celtic in the last eight! A trip to the Maryhill Magyars would be good!

Are they aiming for a unique treble, Alison?

Sounds like a fun day out, JC. Glad you got a win and a QF place for your trouble.

( I had to check who the Magyars were...)

thanks to ER for the round up. Hope the man flu eases soon, sounds no fun at all.

The Foxes I'm afraid have a lot to do. They were very poor at SMS recently, and you really have to defend better than they did for the first goal today. Real basic stuff.

I'm still sweating on a ticket for the final. Need three for me and the lads, got two in the bag.........

Fingers crossed it is looking hopeful.

Can't complain at the ticket prices actually, £40 for the back of the top tier, not bad for a major final.

well that's what we are calling it.....

Owls still right in that 3 way Yorkshire play off place scrap......

Joined Cardiff as one of Warnock's out of contract recruits, or maybe in the Summer window before Colin took over.

I was a very happy man yesterday! Seagulls won! The Toon won!! And in the rugby 6 nations, England won! How fantastic is that?!?!?

[EdgeleyRob]

Oh my giddy aunt.

Hmm

Swansea City 2 Leicester City 0 I was quite shocked at the lack of fight tbh,next league game is Liverpool on 27th Feb by which time the Foxes could be bottom of the league,still plenty of games left though

[Alison]

Another shocker Rob. In retrospect the Cup win didn't change anything. I didn't think we were too bad until conceding. After that there seemed no way back and it was just painful to watch.

Only cost a tenner with my concession, ts. Not too bad, and I saved money by there being a distinct dearth of pies.
Unfortunately, I think that'll be as far as we're going - just what I didn't want, 'tic at 'tic Park in the Quarters - think we should put out a weakened team. We're still in another Cup - the Irn-Bru Cup, though I never knew anyone to drink the Ba Bru out of a cup - next week we're taking on the all-conquering Welsh New Saints at Paisley...could be intriguing!

Sorry to hear of the Leicester travails - plenty time to go yet, Alison!

Thanks....funny how players go off the radar....I'd forgotten all about Danny Wellbeck until he turned up fit again....
