What sports teams do you support?

[Heid the Ba]

Yes, I don't think it is worth doing without the other two bets. I'm still looking though.

We paly on Thursday against Progres Neidrborn (sp?) who I have a feeling put us out a couple of years ago. Idiot Portugese manager's first game?

[Arneb]

FC Progrès Niederkorn. I seem to remember they threw out a venerable European side a few years ago, who walked in dust and ashes afterwards. Was that Rangers? I mean, come on, Niederkorn are amateurs from LUXEMBURG! That sounds like you're doubling down on Fürth AND Hertha, fuck-up wise.

[Heid the Ba]

That's them, and I was right about Caixinha. And yes, I had to check how to spell his name.

[Lianachan]

Fucking hell.

Ross County 2 - 0 Forfar (league cup)

Played 6, won 6, drawn 0, lost 0. It’s still on.

[Arneb]

Just you wait. I found out we kick off the season with the first Cup round on Aug. 9-12. Endless opportunity for fuckuppery. Hertha away to VfB Eichstätt, a Bavarian 4th-Leaguer. We have the uncanny knack of being killed by lower-league opposition intent of kicking the big ones in the jewelry (and we always arrive there legs wide-open, 'cause hey, what can go wrong. Greuther away to MSV Duisburg, recently relegated from Second League. I smell trouble.

It's probably a good thing to rake in a few wins now, when the going's not too tough. Let's have fun while it lasts.

[Heid the Ba]

Pfft. Six down a hundred and twenty to go!

[Heid the Ba]

Currently two up, looking good for another win.

[Heid the Ba]

Ranger 2 - 0 Some losers

Played 7, won 7, drawn 0, lost 0.

It’s still on.

[Lianachan]

It’s still on!

[Arneb]

It's still on!

[Heid the Ba]

I think we can relax over the weekend, no games until our second leg next week. Unless I've missed something.

[Lianachan]

We have a friendly tomorrow, not a match to trouble our count with, then it's feet up until 3rd August when we'll be beaten at home by Aberdeen.

[Heid the Ba]

We shouldn't pox it up before then, but you never know.

[Arneb]

Yep, exactly as I thought it would be. The Second League began this weekend, aaaaand

SpVgg Greuther Fürth 0 - 2 FC Erzgebirge Aue

Played 8, won 7, drawn 0, lost 1.

It's off.

[Heid the Ba]

It’s off, but still a good season, so far.

[Lianachan]

I'm just relieved RCC weren't the first to drop points after my repeated goading of Fate.

[Heid the Ba]

Indeed, there is no reason we should drop points to Progres on Wednesday, but that means little.

[Heid the Ba]

No reason, but we managed it. Goal less draw.

Played 9, won 7, drawn 1, lost 1.

[Arneb]

FC St. Pauli 1 - 3 SpVgg Greuther Fürth
Now, now! That was away to a self-styled promotion candidate.

Played 10, won 8, drawn 1, lost 1.

[Heid the Ba]

Go Fuerth!

[Heid the Ba]

It keeps getting better, as our man in the North is likely in a field still, I’ll add:

RCC 3 - 0 Hamilton

Played 11, won 9, drawn 1, lost 1.

Rangers are up tomorrow against Killie, it should be a win, but we could easily fuck it up.

[Heid the Ba]

Early goal for us, unless we get another couple it will be the usual, down to ten men at 75 minutes and Rorke’s Drift for the last fifteen minutes.

[Heid the Ba]

The random football generator that is our cable package won’t let me watch the Rangers game but will let me see Heidenheim - Stuttgart, currently a four goal thriller.

[Heid the Ba]

They got a late-ish equaliser, we scored the winner in injury time. All just a bit too hectic.

Kilmarnock 1 - 2 Rangers

Played 12, won 10, drawn 1, lost 1.

I’ll sit quietly here until Lianachan posts the league table.

[Lianachan]

Indeed. If only there was a way to get the rest of the league season cancelled and for the current table to stand. I can’t see us being 2nd for very long.
