BDO? I thought that it was our friends Duff & Phelps who flogged them to Sevco Scotland (after, ahem, discussion).

I think that they were promised something.

Good on The Mighty Acas. Fuck Thomson, and all his tribe. Special Branch should have been all over that club years ago; Dundee United, aka 'The Terrors' and 'The Arabs'; need I spell it out? Let us hope it goes bust sooner rather than later. An arsewipe club, which may be beginning to realise that its friends @the piggery have actually wiped their arses with it.

Gary Kenneth played for Portugal??

I will beg to differ on that; you could barely get decent beer in Scotland at that time. The competition was limited - McEwan's Export, Bass Special, Bass Export, Dryborough's, and other caramel pops, whose very names elude me, thank God. You could get heavies by Belhaven, and McLay's, but the former, was like plum pudding, more so in the bottle, and the latter with a sweet cloying aftertaste somewhat like honey. Not for me. Oh, and I don't " well over the odds for wee bottles of "fancy" beers like Italian or Mexican lagers".

I am rather fussy about what I put over my neck, nothing by McEwan's for a start.

Considered properly, there are only three Sports: hunting, shooting, and fishing; the rest are games, the greatest of which is Test Match cricket. Darts is a pastime; as is snooker for that matter.

No, thanks. You would have to pay me £3 a pint to drink it, maybe more, now that I think about it. Sweet, fizzy, and with that odd McEwan's taste of wet rot, if I recall correctly.

I knew that there was somebody, somewhere who drank Tartan Special.

In football terms, Mexico is part of CONCACAF, which embraces North America, Central America, the Caribbean, and 3 countries from the South American Mainland (Guyana, Surinam, and French Guiana, which, more properly, may be a Department of France). CONCAAF's Gold Cup competition has its finals every 2 years, and I don't think that Mexico, the USA, and Canada, ie the teams categorised as North American, have to pre-qualify. These teams seem to be automatic finalists. So, if we sign Mexican internationalists, they will be likely to disappear every 2 years, much like African Internationalists would. To have work permits renewed will they have to maintain their Internationalist status? I am unsure.

Not many Jimmy Millars in a pack.

Tacos al Pastor Jack might prove popular...

Now, Keith, about that last article.....

I look forward to a Billy Boy Burrito.

Your post, immediately below mine, and logged within 4 minutes, and with no reference to The Limeburner whatsoever, reads like a response to me. Therefore I recommend that you exercise some care, and courtesy, in future, when you choose to go off half cocked.

Still wouldn't bet Scotland.

Nothing to do with him being Mexican. He seems to have off field issues. If, as I have pointed out, he did not have such problems, however defined, we would not get within one sniff of his signature. Keep your gratuitous, and insulting, assumptions to yourself, please.

It is when it affects his form long term.

We have to trust PC, in this regard; we have little option. Given his talent -beyond, it seems, anything @Ibrox at the moment, and probably beyond what's in Scotland, bar one, maybe two- he may be worth the gamble, but only if the price, and the wages, don't bugger up the kitty, and alienate the rest of the dressing room.

One wishes that The Acas go through, anything to hasten what one hopes will be the demise of that nasty outfit.

These are their clothes; these are what they have in their wardrobes; these are what they wear. And, to be fair, rahooped tap is useful for all occasions: church, weddings, funerals, vigils, a night at the darts, a morning in the dock. an Installation..ah, perhaps not,....

And, if all else fails, berate them anyway.......

Clean sheets guaranteed, then?

Not true. We all want it to be a brilliant signing, but he does represent something of a punt, beyond that which, to a greater or lesser extent, every acquisition represents. Terrific player, apparently, lifestyle issues, apparently. Without the latter, we would not get near him.

We are broad church, mon ami, a broad church. So, "Hell, yeah."
