Injured

yep injured LCL strain but still probably going to play football on Sunday biggest game of the season can hopefully extend our lead at top of the table.

not been able to train much recently have broke down a few tine with this fan knee injury so not ideal but still plenty of time till we leave, won't be helped much by my honeymoon coming up 10 days in the Maldives I can't wait it's going to be awsome place we are staying looks out of this world. very excited about the wedding is going to be a great day. although the stag doo is first and that will be feking superb fun, nice and low key and not going anywhere dressed as a baby that's for sure!!

not much else on my mind friend over for dinner tonight and a couple more on Thursday will be fun oh and champs league tonight thinking inter 2 spurs 0 etoo with one if not both one a pen other a header.

all good generally just can't wait to shake off this injury hope I don't make it worse playing this weekend!! all about the winning

hatrick hero! (Chris)

Its been way too long since i last blogged. a good few weeks anyway. wil not leave it so long till next time.

Anyhoo, as the title hints at, I did indeed manage to bag a hatrick in todays latest Edinburgh Southern outing. we won 5-1 against the league whippping boys meadowbank. Colin lister and gaz moyes geting in on the act with a heavy touch of contrroversy surrounding gaz moyes "ghost goal".  To explain, basically he headed wide. keeper took the buy kick and then the ref said he'd given a goal. Cue many a puzzled face from the southern side and a few facial expressions that screamed WTF?!?! from meadowbank. Thankfully the goal stood. However, us being not only the leagues best team and indeed leaders, but also a pretty sporting bunch, we decided to let them score one to bring it back to level pegging. Not happy myself but i guess it was only fair. But really ill take any bit of good fortune in this league. not gonna pass up that gift of a goal as ye never know when it could go against us. Still won the match easy enuff. Now, more about that hatrick! goal 1 - tap in rebound from marco rossi edge of the box strike. goal 2 - headed (which i do always enjoy!) into the postage stamp from lister stand up cross. and to complete the trick named hat, goal 3 comes straight from a corner. Jurassic park! Yeehaw. Wind probably helped a tad mind. my first competitve treble and i made sure i blooming enjoyed it by celebrating like a total over excited little boy waking up on xmas morning.  Other notable match incidents included: Rich almost scoring with 1st touch after coming on then hitting the post with an outrageous overhead kick, numerous folk missing no fewer than 4 first half headed chances, myself missing 2 sitters, stevie woods (really a GK) coming on to play up front and causing them a few probs. watch out lister and gaz, he'll be after a start next game!).  Needless to say a pretty interesting spectacle!

Went round to see steve, narda and lil cullen kain earlier. He is very cute indeed. Still never havin kids mind. Just happened to be up that way as had gone to the cinema and then subsequently left early as was falling asleep. Was fine as soon as I got outside tho. Thats it though, ive given all these kids 3D films more than enuff chances. Im not seeing anymore. Todays offering was Despicable Me which i didnt know much about to be fair and was totally sleep deprived from last nite. And the dark cinema dont exaclty help with trying to stay awake but it was not good. Think ive only really left the cinema early 3 or 4 times. Waste of the afternoon that was, so worked out handy steve was in and could pop round there for a wee visit.

Still no concrete sponsor for our bike trip. British Gas still sound well interested but we'll see. Suz seems to have a few irons in the fire regarding getting some gear from them through a couple of similar charity type events that are happening with them. Think they are getting sum gear and there might be talk of us getting a bit ourselves which of course would be most welcome.

Could noooooo sleep at all last nite. Reckon i got about 2 hours kip max. Dunno why. Well was quite excited about the football today so that accounted for my lying awake until maybe 1am but after that.....just totally ricidulous. Was so wide awake practically all night. Not any fun at all. Got well agitated. Even tried to have a game on the mega drive to kill some time but that doesnt seem to be working. Missing some sorta lead me thinks. Tad annoying.

Congratulations Stu on passing your driving test! Well done. Good to get that out the way as its only gonna get tougher to pass and definately more expensive.

Been looking at getting maself a new tele. About time I upgraded from the eyesore that currently provides my entertainment. Dont reckon ill get wan as cheap as i thought i might tho. Always want summat for cheap me!! Hopefully get a 24incher for about 150 bones. Xmas not actually that far way i suppose. And then Jan sales. Maybe i should hang off.

Which reminds me.... how good The Hangover is. Started watching that online earlier. So damn funny. Think the directors / Zach Galifianakis new comedy vehicle Due Date might be pretty good having seen a new trailer for it. Be nae Hangover mind but i dont expect it to be either. Cant possibly be.

Purchased a tik for Mogwai in early Feb 2011 at the Picture house. So looking forward to that. Never seen them live. Hopefully kev or Fairs will tag along. Im just hoping they play sum of the Zidane film soundtrack! They wont tho. Interpol to come before that in Novemeber. Zat will be awesome.

Catch.

Training (Stuart)

Football training last night was good my knee injury flared up again quite annoying but feels ok today been told it's just inflamed so taking painkillers. hitting the gym tonight before Scotland game feeling good after a couple of weeks of training back from holiday feeling strong but need to build up the stamina will be doing that all winter on the gym bikes, not comfortable at all though.
end of year closing in quick will be good to start raising money for st colombas next year, think asking people to donate now is way to early. hope to hold a couple of events next year before we go aswell as just general guns raising at work etc.

hope to get decent sesh in gym tonight and a Scotland win will set up the weekend nicely.
