A full schedule of midweek matches today, so here goes.
Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell
Zander Diamond headed the ball in from the edge of the Motherwell penalty box to put the Dons up 1-0 early. Since the wonderful performance at Pittodrie against Bayern Munich, Aberdeen fans have had little to cheer for, but they at least had […]

Just as Kenny Dalglish’s boy Paul returns from a stint in the MLS, another Scot may well be headed back over the pond, and this time it’s one I like a lot more. Kenny “The Good Doctor” Deuchar is reportedly considering a move from relegation-bound Gretna to last year’s MLS second-bottom side, Real Salt […]

Young Liam Munro has had a hard time of it. The 16-year-old Hibernian fan was diagnosed over a year ago with a very unusual tumor on his spine. For the past year, Hibs have reached out to Munro in all sorts of ways, helping to keep his spirits up with personal visits from […]

I have to admit, as a prelude to this post, that I am not a fan of Goal.com. It seems to be one of the least reliable and most questionable sources of information about football on the internet, making it in the running for most questionable source of information anywhere ever.
So, when I read […]

By: Ian Rose | 1 Comment
Davie Irons has resigned as Gretna manager, as the hits just keep on coming for a team with an ailing owner, a firm place in the SPL relegation spot, and who aren’t getting paid for coming to work. Irons takes assistant Derek Collins with him, and has reportedly accepted the top job at Morton.

It must be hard to play for Gretna these days. As we step closer and closer to the end of the SPL season, it becomes clearer each week that the Black and Whites are headed back down. They’re technically only three matches behind Kilmarnock, but there’s a gulf of quality between Gretna and […]

Admittedly, this is not my style of football journalism. I like to write about goals and formations, assists and saves. But in honor of Martha, who leaves The Offside this week, I’m making an exception. Martha was one of the original Offsiders, and I, like so many of us, was a consistent […]

I can’t tell you how much this angers me. In my opinion, UEFA exists to coordinate the European leagues, to make sure they all adhere to basically the same rules, and to stage the major continental competitions. As far as how leagues choose their participants in those competitions, within reason, I believe UEFA […]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
Kilmarnock, currently eleventh in the SPL and nine points above Gretna, has decided to look all the way to America to sign their newest Scottish striker, and have agreed terms with Paul Dalglish. Kenny’s boy Paul, no longer much of a boy at 30, is making the move from repeat MLS Cup champions Houston […]
Aberdeen 2-2 Bayern Munich
By: Ian Rose | 2 Comments
I have to admit it - I had lost faith in Aberdeen’s UEFA Cup run. As much as I like the Dons (my second favorite team in Scotland), it seemed like their drawing everyone’s favorite to win the tournament, Bayern Munich, would certainly be the end of the good results. Everything was going […]
