Hopefully the board are working on that - otherwise it's going to be a long season (again) without a top striker. The next Rickie Lambert, where are you?!?!

I think he was picked purely on the back of his last season for us playing in the Championship. That and the fact that WS has kinda given everybody a clean slate probably?

It's going to take a few games for the boss to find out who really wants to be here & wants to play for him - plus there will be a few players coming & going yet. It must be frustrating for the gaffer with 3-weeks still to go until the transfer window closes which is ridiculous.

Rangers watch...
at 20:31 9 Aug 2025

Rangers head coach Russell Martin is still waiting for a Scottish Premiership victory and needed a late penalty from club captain James Tavernier to deny Dundee their first win at Ibrox in 24 years.

It leaves the Ibrox side without a win in their opening two league fixtures for the first time since 1989.

The home fans vented their fury at various points during the match, unhappy with the pace and intensity of play, even booing substitutions when Nico Raskin and Kieran Dowell were introduced after the break.

It led to an all-too-familiar soundtrack to a domestic game at Ibrox: boos from the home support.

Indeed. The gaffer is well known for his in-game changes as & when required and to give him his due, he certainly got it right today... albeit late. Phew!

We tax the wealthy... which won't raise enough so then we tax the already struggling ordinary man in the street who's just trying to keep his head above water... and then we give it all to the gimigrants.

Politics according to kentsouthampton.

Aaron Ramsdale saved a penalty for Newcastle tonight on his debut in a 2-2 draw with Espanyol. Matt Targett also scored for the Mags... talking of ex-Saints like.

So basically... we are going to go the way of Norwich and West Brom and Derby County. Once great - but now poor & utter dogs' poo?

*Sigh. My glass is usually half full and we haven't even kicked a ball yet. I just get the feeling though that no matter what, Sport Republic are going to fu(k it all up... again.

Played 45 games for Coventry last season. He's 24 years old.

Scored 10 goals, 12 assists.

Worth about £15M apparently.

I have the wonderful (not) experience of having a colonoscopy each year with the 'long' scope shoved up my jacksie at the QA for the past several years now. Funnily enough, they want to do it every 6-months now because of issues they keep finding.

Anyway, the staff that do all the pre-op paperwork are Filipino, the girls that do the blood pressure checks/cannula insertion etc in the side room by the theatre are all African or Caribbean girls, and the top team doing the actual colonoscopy are sometimes the top English doctor himself - but sometimes it's an Indian team. Last time I had it done in fact, it was a Portuguese female doctor!

Bless the lot of them I say. I don't think anyone of the right thinking actually minds where anyone comes from in the world - as long as they're contributing to society & doing their best just to get along in life... and NHS staff certainly seem to be doing that... and sadly, probably at detriment to their own countries where they're needed.

Southampton Go Into Championship Opening Weekend In Strong Position

Pompey’s pre-season saw six wins and a draw from seven matches, with 17 goals scored and none conceded. That included a 1-0 victory over Dutch top-flight outfit PEC Zwolle.

As always, will be interesting to see if pre-season friendlies mean something... anything.

That's the murky old world of football transfers & agents for you. If Dibling stays, a more sulky, moody and petulant teenager you will not find in any league this coming season. I cannot see the point of keeping a player like that - and it'll be unfair on the new gaffer.

I'd have taken the money and ran if it was up to me.

I was listening to a debate on the radio the other night & by all accounts, 16-18 year olds are far more likely to vote for Jeremy Corbyn's 'new' party (whatever it's called today) than they are for Starmer.

Now that would be ironic.

Not everyone watches the bias BBC News, reads the Guardian or listens to the woke leftie luvvy James O'Brien on LBC Radio, 901. Some of us can see the world around us for what it really is & can make informed choices of our own.
