Woo-hoo. A 2-2 draw is a pretty good result. Could we sneak an away win? Well - I can but hope. What was Prso doing though? Hard to criticise arguably our best player but to handle the ball in the box in the manner that he did in the first five minutes of such an important game…Alan Sugar’s quote in tonights Apprentice sums it up.

Anchor to wanker.

I laughed while watching the weather yesterday - not only was it to be a dry day in Glasgow but the presenter who was Scottish had a fun poke at Rangers by saying “wrap up warm if they are heading for Castle Grayskull”. For those not in the know this has been the slang term for Ibrox stadium for a long time. Pretty funny - nice one Kirsty.

I should have know there would be those who can’t see the funny side. Sunday Mail, page 5, outraged Gers fans. Twats - get a grip. Whats worse is the shoddy Sunday Mail reporting. Firstly it’s Grayskull not Greyskull. Secondly, and something I always thought was a bit odd - Castle Grayskull is where the hero’s are based in the He-Man cartoon, not the baddies. So whats the big deal? I’m more concerned about being 4th in the league than a throwaway comment on a weather report.

I’ve got quite a few posts to put up but really have to get a few moans out of the way first - think of it as cleansing.

• Plusnet. Although I’ve moved to Freedom2Surf that doesn’t take place until the 6th of October so I still need to suffer. Not only is the Usenet speed slow during the day as well, but they are wanting users to vote for them in the PC Pro 2005 awards. Cheeky bards. What’s worse is that they can e-mail all their users about voting for them and how they could win prizes yet they can’t e-mail them to say that their pricing is changed or their accounts are totally different from when they signed up. Apparently there is a communications opt out checkbox hidden in the terms and conditions but nobody mentioned that the checkbox had been added and unless you visit the forums you won’t know it’s there or how to opt out.
• Why does the new Apple Nano in black come with white headphones. Just looks daft. I guess it’s so the adverts still work.
• In the same vain - why did the black PSP come with white headphones and white adaptor. It looked cheap Mr Sony and was white because of the iPod.
• The Xbox 360 - 2 different versions of the hardware is impacting on how games are being developed and what features are added. See this article for more info. Fools.
• Rangers are mince. Watched the game yesterday (for free on Freeview - nice) and they were woeful. Lucky it wasn’t a heavier defeat. Bring on Inter!!
• It’s a holiday weekend. Off Monday & Tuesday. The weathers crap and I’ve got work from the office to do. Bah.
• Why does plaster soak up so much paint. Even though I put two coats of sealer on it’s still soaking up the paint. Oh well - time to put on another coat.

And relax…

What a player Larsson is. Great to see him back in Scottish football playing better than ever. In all honesty the better team won - if the game was judged on the first 20 minutes of the second half then Celtic could feel aggrieved but over the 90 minutes they were outclassed. At least there still in the Champions league!

One year on and what a difference a year makes. I’ve said elsewhere that McLeish would be out by November - I now think he’s one dodgy result away from being shown the door. The real poser is this - who could replace him and do any better?

The worst thing about the Man U defeat was the total lack of passion in the game. It’s easy to point out who had the strongest team before the start of the match, but I can hardly think of anyone who showed grit or determination to get the ball. Lovenkrands showed endeavour but had little service. Apart from that only Burke showed enough to suggest he has a rosy future.

As for Capucho & Vanoli - they should be shown the door. I would rather have youngsters playing than those two overpaid diddies. Rangers are now playing for a UEFA Cup place - I just hope they manage that.
