It’s time to look for new oportunities. Real Madrid have allowed Uruguay midfielder Pablo Garcia to join UEFA Cup contenders Celta Vigo on loan this season, the nine-times European champions announced on their official Web site on Tuesday.According to …
FC Barcelona started their defence of the Spanish league title with a dramatic 3-2 vicotry Monday at hapless Celta Vigo. Their first game of the season was faced without Ronaldinho.Indeed, the reigning Spanish champions needed a spectacular late volley…
Tonight there’s a rarity…a Footcer Socblog post on the same day I post it in LiveJournal. :)—I just finished watching “High Tension” and the last half hour or so reminded me that NANOWRIMO is a bit over two months away. How that movie saw the ligh…
This friendly against Zenit St. Petersburg was a chance for the second team players to show what they are worth. Not much if this is anything to go by. There were two of the players from the Hearts game in the staring lineup but it meant that Buffel go…

The season is about to start but Barcelona already won an important title: they are the Spanish Super Cup Champions after defeating Espanyol 3-0 in the second-leg of the Final on Sunday.It’s important to mention that a goal from Xavi and a brace from P…
It might sound incredible, but coach Fabio Capello is seriously thinking about dumping Iker Casillas for backup goalkeeper Diego Lopez on Wednesday for the Bernabeu Trophy clash with Anderlecht.And maybe it is beacause Capello has been impressed by Lop…
This is no doubt the most important moment of his career. Mali football player Mahamadou Diarra will join Real Madrid with a five-year contract from French champions Olympique Lyon. The transfer will be official after the Spanish club agreed personal t…
I couldn’t believe it but no Buffel in the starting lineup and we still won the match.The two guys from Manchaster Untied where playing from the start and so Buffel had to make way for these guys.Rangers had an early chance but it was mostly Hearts at …
Everton (Away) were Watford’s first opponents this season and we put up a good battle it would seem from the Beeb highlights. We lost 2-1 but what bad luck!!!!Firstly: Johnson one of the Watford’s ‘love to hate’ and ‘we beat you in the playoff’ players…
It hasn’t been the best start of the Gers. Without my favourite player Buffel I dread to think where we would be. At least today Buffel will get another chance to shine against a good team, Hearts.Forget the poor displays by the team, if they all show …
I did write a couple of entries in the interim to this one, but I’ll have to search for them. Maybe later. August has been really, really busy.—I’m just not ready for the English Premiership season to start yet (which, oddly enough, makes me just l…
There have been reports in the Evening Times that HMV and Virgin have banned a CD of Rangers songs called ‘The Ultimate Supporters Album – Rangers Anthems’Apparently somebody complained that the CD had lots of bigoted and sectarian songs on it. I h…
Once again all the good work done by the brilliant Buffel is undone by a poor display by Rangers. LeGuin must really start looking to see if he can get more players in like Buffel, maybe he has a brother.This was the same team as last week and Dunferml…
Loads of people have been slagging the Rangers supporters off for singing the wrong kind of songs. They say that they are bigotted or something. Well I have had a brilliant idea, why don’t we sing the same songs but with different words. Brilliant.That…
LeGuin’s first game at Ibrox was against a rubbish Dundee United team that have only one once it seventeen games.I cannot believe it but we did not win. I am not sure if it was the manager’s fault, the players but I think it is more likely to be the la…
The last Rangers manager to win their first League game was Walter Smith. LeGuin did the same so I think that makes them as good as each other. Maybe one day LeGuin will be the Scotland manager. That would be brilliant.Just to prove it the last manager…
In a very good game, Ronaldinho and Eidur Gudjohnsen both scored as FC Barcelona recorded a convincing 3-0 win over UNAM Tigres in Mexico for their second victory in the pre-season campaign.We must keep in mind that a number of first team players have …
Let’s just call it The Debacle. American soccer fans know what I’m talking about.
Since The Debacle I haven’t cared much for writing here. And I’ve been busy. But, of course, I’ve been busy before and that never stopped me from posting here before. (Well, sometimes it did.) But even when busy I usually found [...]
