Brisbane Lions Roar: "Football Is Back!"

The summer is now officially over. Feigned interest in cricket, betting on leagues that get investigated on a regular basis due to match fixing and gardening can be discarded like factor 50 sun cream for a Scottish Beach Holiday.

An A-Team

With a 3-0 victory over crack A-League side, Brisbane Roar, to get 3rd-Choice-Tony's reign of to a winning start, the feeling that the tide has turned is washing over the Celtic support like Tiree waves over the golden sands.

With no Tv highlights or bust Irish Broadcaster to broadcast the unexpected pre-season romp we can all assume that Celtic and the beautiful game have been reunited like a football Nolans.

3rd-Choice-Tony implemented a radical 4-4-2 formation on the team which will take the Celtic support some getting used to after years of the stifling 4*4*2 the former hated manager played.

Viva La Revisionist

There is a few candidates for "The Bobby Petta New Manager Revisionist Stakes" which will be awarded to the most improved player in this summers world tour.

Koki Mizuno is an early front runner. The Japanese striker, retained to keep the Yen interested, scored with what has been describe as an Larssonesq diving header and has already impressed  with his deft touches and ability to play, with no discernible evidence, in a front 3.

The Brick-batted Lee Naylor has reverted to the wide-eyed-rabbit-on-heat-and-a-promise enthusiasm that marked his debut season that is fondly remembered by those who wandered into the Tosh McKinlay years.

Like a Virgin

But, Khris Killer Killen is the one most benefiting from a re-invention that Madonna would be proud off. The 'Big-Man'- who was last seen troubling Gretna- scored two and is riding on the crest of New Zelands Confed Cup exploits with a 45min performance that had the watching masses foaming at the mouth and dribbling into their morning cornflakes.

Perma-Toast

We are awaiting the perma-rage of the first pre-season defeat, with a toasted glass ready, so we can really say goodbye to the summer. We can chill the glasses for a few days yet.
