Competition Time

It's time for my first Scottish football post. Some things that have caught my interest recently:

The New Celtic Signing Policy:
Do you play for Hibs?
Alternatively Did you play for Rangers and get emptied for not being good enough?
If the answer is yes to either question then it's pretty much guaranteed you will be modelling hoops very soon.

Craig Brewster Injury:
I think Brewster has done very well to still be an effective player at the age of 40 but is it not time for him to retire? If you didn't see what happened he stumbled over with no one near him, put his hands out to stop hitting the ground face first and ended up dislocating his shoulder. It was like watching an old man with a walking stick tripping over a loose paving stone! He fell the way you would expect anyone to fall but surely a professional footballer shouldn't be dislocating his shoulder. What's next? A broken hip from falling off a seat?

In true off the ball fashion I think it's time for a competition. Can you compose a Japanese haiku verse regarding a Scottish football team? Basically it's a 3 line verse, 1st line has 5 syllables, 2nd line has 7 syllables, 3rd line has 5 syllables. (For any haiku enthusiasts who may be reading, i appreciate that this isn't strictly the correct definition but it's close enough for SPL purposes). Here are a few examples:

Rangers:
exit diddy paul
too many foreign numpties
return traitor walt

Hearts:
romanov circus
constantly change line up
kick and rush pub team

Hibs:
free flowing football
effervescent young players
jc leads the way

Aberdeen:
one dimensional
big fat orange tango man
why are they so high?

Celtic:
display arrogance
buy other team best players
left to rot in stand

Best entry wins..........my respect and a special mention on a later post...............
Go on, you know you want to.....
