    ...starts training with Motherwell today under the tutelage of everyone's least favourite lesbian, Stuart McCall.

    How typical would it be for the big man to score a winner against us from a corner?

    In all honesty, I think he'd be due it.

    We let him go and brought in defenders who didn't give as much or have as good a mentality as he did.

    Could be a cracking signing for Well - I'm frankly surprised Aberdeen or United didn't go in for him.

    Naw, he isnae <grr>

    Twice captained championship winning teams and scored international winners (more than once) from centre half.

    Sometimes, for a centre half, attitude is more important than ability - that's why he was captain and better than Caldwell.

    He'll play a blinder against us.

    Guaranteed.

    Actually, I'll probably review this whole post at a later date.

    He is a bit pish, isn't he?

    He was a decent defender nothing more but should never have been allowed to leave when he did.

    My bro-in-law does work in his house sometimes.

    Isn't there a story about him having one leg shorter than the other??

    His mistake against Spain when he jumped under a crossed ball and allowed the big striker to score Spain's third after we had fought back from 2 down merely underlined how pish he was and how Celtic minded players always let the national team down as they feel Irish.

    Like Tom boyd vs Brazil in '98 <grr>

    In fairness, that game would've been meaningless before kick off had he not got the winner against the mighty Liechtenstein.

    If he hadn't bothered scoring against them perhaps Levien would have been sent packing long before he was.

    Sounds plausible enough but are you sure you're not mixing up legs with baws?

    Arms, nostrils, thumbs, it's a scientific and biological fact that no two identical body parts are ever the same size/length.

    But surely there's a negligible difference compared with an impacting difference.

    Everyone's feet are different sizes but both of mine fit in the same size shoe.

    If they were in different sized shoes, it might be a different matter.

    On the subject of baws, though, my low-hanger is a good 20% bigger than the other one - I've always taken this as normal :bandit:

    Both my balls are the same size though 'lefty' hangs lower.

    One of my mates had a bout of mumps at 18ish and his right ball shrunk, funny as ****. He went to the docs and it turned out that the mumps killed his ball.

    His burd just gave birth so his other ball must be taking up the slack.
