I know Stephen Kingsley and Conor Kelly, both at Falkirk U19's. Conor lives round the corner from me and I played with Kingsley at Falkirk when we were 12.
I've been in the job now for 2 days. Already I had a list of things to do around the club:
- Cancel all friendlies
I don't see why we should be paying other teams to come and play at our ground. At a League 2 club we should be trying to get as much money as possible from pre-season friendlies...
I turned on my PC. I headed straight for my Hotmail, anxious to find out whether Mike Ashley had replied to my email. He probably hadn't, if he hadn't phoned me first to check if it was me. To be honest, I couldn't see myself landing the Newcastle job, it was just too high up in the management...
Maybe try Vladimir Weiss, a good talent who really improves over the course of a season or two with good mentor's and training schedules. He is on a free from Man City. If you are looking for goals, try Ola Toivonen from PSV. He can play AMC or ST, and scored 33 goals in his first season in the...

We had 3 games left in our Qualification process for the 2010 World Cup. As we were in the unique position of having 5 teams in the group instead of 6, only 1 qualification place was assured. Holland had already won this. In order for us to achieve a play-off spot, we had to gain more points...
*George Burley has left the Scotland manager position today by way of mutual consent it has been revealed. In the eyes of the fans Burley has been one of Scotland's worst managers, defeated by only Berti Vogts. All eyes are on the SFA now as the determine who will be the man to take Scotland...
