Quick Review

Welcome back to the SPL and competitive games, or not?! Not the best game at all, and even WGS admitted it himself stating there were only 4 good players on the pitch. It took us until the 2nd half to get a shot on target, and even our goal was by all admissions a bit of luck to get the penalty (albeit still a penalty). Anymore performances and we'll see riots amongst the monster munch eaters in the stands.

Else, Marc Crosas was signed today from Barcelona, whilst we raised the flag for the 2007-08 league victory. The unveiling was done by the widow of Tommy Burns. We'll all miss him.

Trivia
