Back to school craziness

1st week back for the SPL, and it's all a little crazy. New boys Hamilton, predicted by most (but not we love fitba) to be heading straight back down to Division 1 at the end of the season, are top of the league!

Alright, it won't last, but it's worth having a look anyhow. It's exactly the start they needed... nothing will ease those early nerves better than stringing a few results together.

Meanwhile, Walter Smith says he's "surprised and disappointed" after Carlos Cuellar transferred to Aston Villa.

Hmm, that statement is only half-true, isn't it Watty? No doubt you are disappointed to be losing your best player, but surprised? Speculation was rife that Cuellar would go after Rangers' humiliating exit from Europe in order to help balance the books. And that was before we found out about the release clause in his contract.

The "people" are not at all happy, with talk of demonstrations at the next home game. Possibly led by the you tube radge? (see previous post for link).

Finally, Celtic got another lucky win over St Mirren after JVH fouled his marker yet got awarded a penalty anyhow. The referees campaigned over the summer for better pay - fair enough, but do you think in return we might get them to do their jobs properly?
