You really won’t believe us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, were gonna win the league as the song goes.....

Tamas in Glasgow for talks according to Auxerre, we are still trying to bring in big bad mental Bassa, that’s two international centre half’s to be added to the already best back four in the league, minus Naylor of course,however, it's likely that his replacement will also be an international Rat anyone ??

One of Europe’s best keepers between the sticks.

Naka and aiden far better than anything the DOBs can hope to field, with a hopefully rejuvenated Scott Brown back to his best.

Scott, JVOH and Samaras up front.

 Reports today have linked us with le mans centre half Marko Basa, who is valued by his club at £7.5m, but, we hope to get him for around £4.5m.

It’s obvious that we are in the market for a centre half and have already been linked with Berra of Hearts, Stranzal of Spartak Moscow and Tamas from Auxerre.

The revolving door looks like it will be trying to him Lee Naylor on the arse, as he is rumoured to have family difficulties and wants to return south. According to reports, Sunderland are ready to “ test our resolve” with a £2 million bid. I don’t think our resolve will stand that kind of test and it will be thanks lee and see you later....

Bit of a shock this morning when it became apparent that John Kennedy has joined Motherwell on a six month loan deal, though it will be good for him to get some first team action and fingers crossed for the big man.

So... who will drop out to accommodate the new centre half, because if we are paying £4.5m for him he will be first choice that for sure. Big Mick, the new number 4 and team captain, could it be Gary Caldwell who was fantastic in the run in, or will it be Henry the mild mannered Janitor? – that’s for the auld yins....

I’m not sure, wgs has always as far as I know stuck to a rigid 442 and I can’t see this changing.... so who to drop out – thoughts ???? for me it should be.... shit I just don’t know, as in my opinion neither McManus or Caldwell are the class that we really need to take us forward...

Big rumours that Samaras and Maloney to join this week. To be honest I would take both in a heartbeat. I like big Sammy and he had a decent scoring record and scored a few big big goals in his time with us..£2m for the 23 year old big fella who has scored 30 goals in the Dutch league or £10m for Andy Johnson.. don’t you just love the premiership. Maloney will also spilt the fans, he is a cracking wee player and if rejoins it will be on our terms.. they say never go back,, time will tell, but he will be an able replacement for Naka and Aiden who both played a hell of a lot of football last season. So that’s Sammy and Maloney for a third of a tore Andre flo.......... enjoy

Right folks, I’m off on holiday tomorrow and the last time I went to this place on holiday, we signed Tommy G. So I can exclusively reveal that there will be white smoke at paradise next week. Ok it might be another overpriced dud but hey ho.....

Well, didn't euro 2008 burst into life last night. What a game and brilliant football from the Dutch....I’m feeling a big smug as I have them in the office sweepstake, but, no doubts that some fall-outs and bickering will put paid to their ( and my) chances.... 

Before the tournament i didn't feel any excitement ... was it because the Celtic nations didn't qualify, was it because there wasn't any nervousness and stress waiting on England to fcuk up?? No……you know what it is...it’s the same old same old...the same faces that we see week in week out from the comfort of my home and TV.

Now... when I was a lad, the first big tournament i remember was Argentina 1978. I remember the excitement as Scotland left from Hampden by helicopter; however, they were soon to return under armed guard and followed by Wullie Johnson who came back higher than he was the day he left in the Sikorsky…. I remember getting the new Scotland strip with the Umbro diamonds down the sleeve, shorts that just covered your you know what’s and the badge, WTF was that all about?, it was  half as big as the shirt itself and left your nipples (all three of them) in tatters... We are on the march with ally's army…aye right. Do you know there were only 7,938 people at the Scotland Vs Iran match. Must have been a curfew in the Iranian and Scottish quarters of Cordoba that day...

   I remember the passion of the crowds at the Argentinean games and the ticker tape as the teams emerged, what a sight... Of course being the age i was, I wasn't aware of the political background and fall-out as the finals were being played in Argentina. Further controversy ensued as Argentina played all their first round games at night so they would know the score in the other group game and what was required. Followed by the game where they tanked Peru 6-0 in suspicious circumstances and played silly buggers before the final itself, so much so that the Dutch refused to attend any official functions to celebrate the event.  

Zico, Kempess, Ardilles, Platini, Rossi, Zoff, Tardelli, Boniek, Rep, Hann, Cubillas, Rumminigge, Revillino to name a few that graced the final's - Cruyff refused to attend.....Think back and remember the excitement of seeing great players that you have read so much about playing for the first time.. Fantastic.

Zip forward to the year 2008......

Torres, Nasri, Hunntelar, Klose, Del Piero, Pirlo, Ronaldo, Deco, ect ect ect don’t get me wrong great players, great teams and hopefully a great tournament... But for me it’s a case of been there got the replica shirt and “official partner” prawn sandwich.

There are 368 players at this tournament and you can watch 57% of them play live on TV in the leagues of England, Italy, Spain, Germany and Holland week in week out. Another 19% can be viewed from teams in the Champions League and UEFA cup from leagues such as Portugal, Russia and Turkey. That's a staggering 76% of players - where is the unexpected new superstar??? there wont be one…we already know all about him and have signed him in Football Manager.

Has live TV 24/7 ruined football?? no...... Not quite yet, but, we have lost something special that will never be recovered.

Only two days to go until the greatest show in Europe kicks off. Time for my Euro 08 preview… what to do.....got it.. preview the Celtic players that will appear…been done !! and if it hadn’t been for those pesky kids at LOTW I would have gotten away with it...ok I will preview EURO 2008 and focus on the Rankers players who will set the tournament alight and change the whole ethos of European football, transforming them into disciples of Wattiecencco……

    Ronaldo… a quick flight out to the Portuguese training camp in Chairman Murray’s private jet... sorry....... Easy Jet secured the signature of the wonder boy to Rangers….what do you mean he’s off to Madrid for £300,000 a week…. Not another moonbeam that was really just the light from Keech Jackson’s torch as he tries to extricate himself from Murray’s ass….   

  NO.....NO.....AND....NO AGAIN…. That’s just wrong.

  What do you mean Nacho’s not in the Spain squad…. WTF… I mean come on...anyone who can score 10 goals in 10 SPL starts must be in their squad…. Do they not want to win the fcking thing ???      

So.... no........ Nacho, bazza, boydy, chrissie, thommo, wier-do, shagger, Clubfoot, webby, King Carlos, adamski, koo-san, gowser.... or McCulloch ( he's that pish, he hasn't got a nickname. 

  So... Bhoys and Ghirls..sit back and in the words of Frank Gallagher.................... PARRRTTTY....

Hi my name is ally and I am a GMP police dog. As you see it’s not an easy life. My friend Wally and I were very much looking forward to the “Blue Tsunami” © Scottish meeja coming to my home town.
