Is he better than Harald Brattbakk, another ex Bodø/Glimt star, was?

I mind this article in the national newspaper:

"AS a striker, Celtic's Harald Brattbakk is more famous for his misses than his goals.

Just last weekend, he failed to convert three gilt-edged chances against Motherwell - including a sitter from all of six yards.

And the bad news for the pounds 2million Norwegian is that his computer-generated image can't do any better.

Brattbakk pops up in the Celtic team in Playstation's Fifa 99 game - and keeps missing open goals.

The amazing coincidence was discovered by Celtic-daft schoolboy Darren Anderson.

The 11-year-old couldn't believe they had managed to make the computer game so realistic - especially in terms of Harald's misses.

He said: "At first I thought that it was just a one-off and I told all my friends.

"But then he kept doing it in the Playstation game - just like in real life he keeps missing chances that anyone could get.

"They either go over the bar or hit off the post. Something always happens."

Darren, who lives very close to his heroes' Parkhead ground, added: "I use my Playstation every day - and any other times when my mum isn't looking.

"I love Celtic and I can't believe that Brattbakk is so lifelike."

He still scored the goal that stopped 10-in-a-row, though. Legend.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-fans-sign-up-repair-5309616

DESPERATE Rangers fans have signed up to repair their crumbling stadium - for free.

A handful of handy supporters have offered their services to the skint club after an appeal on social media - in a move they hope will save the club £5m a year.

Now a team of around 50 painters, joiners, brickies, plasterers and welders could be set to descend on the Govan stadium and their Murray Park training ground.

The initiative, instigated by Rangers supporter Allan Woods, comes a week after Gers powerbroker Dave King said the venues are likely to require millions of pounds in repairs.

A RANGERS fan who offered to raise an army of free workers to spruce up Ibrox for free is at the centre of a racism storm.

Allan Woods, 62, was hailed a hero earlier this week after being instrumental in mobilising more than 50 tradesmen to do repairs at the neglected stadium for free.

But Woods became the latest prominent fan to get embroiled in an ugly controversy over comments on social media after posts on his Facebook profile called for the “ethnic cleansing” of Muslims.

No offence to Hamilton (or to Russ) but the optimism at the start of the season and saying things like, "We'll need to re-assess our expectations!" was a case of counting your chickens before they hatch. How you run the first mile of a marathon is largely irrelevant to your finishing position; both Aberdeen & Dundee United have always been aiming for third at least and with ICT and St Johnstone now thinking they've got a god-given right to be in the top six that doesn't leave much room for Hamilton. Only Motherwells complete implosion and Kilmarnocks continued stumbling mediocrity gives them any chance of breaking in.

It would be a real shame if Hamilton - both the club and the fans - considered a top 6 finish a failure. Compared to the first dozen games maybe, but for a newly promoted team? Top six is a pretty decent achievement.

Try being an Aberdeen fan. For all our talk of We're Going To Win The League we still spend an hour after every game with a pen and paper desperately trying to work out if we're guaranteed top six yet. we are

despite posting on the World's Largest Troll-Free Comedy Forum my serious opinion is that any midtable team that loses 3 of their best players (and two top goal scorers) and their manager in January will really just be treading water until they can regroup in the summer, and Accies are no exception. The way that a selling club like Hamilton are run, this kind of thing is eventually going to happen. You lose a few, bring a few youngsters in their place, give them time to adjust then reap the benefits a year or so down the line when they establish themself as a first choice player before selling them on and starting the cycle again. The club is sold to parents of talented 12 year olds (steady Adam Johnson) as a place that you can come in, get a football education and no one will stand in your way when a big team comes calling. As soon as we start denying the likes of Andreu a move to England or dropping Hendrie for signing a pre-contract with West Ham, that arguement falls apart and the promising 12 year old sees he won't necessarily get a chance at Hamilton, goes on to be another Old Firm benchwarmer until getting released and properly starting their career aged 22.

Canning might leave in the summer, he might not. We might bring in Steven Pressley's brown shoes, we might bring in Jimmy Calderwood's brown skin. We might add to the squad and push on for a top half finish in 2015/2016 or we could finish 15 points behind 11th place. But Hamilton will continue to invest in youth with the intention of selling these guys on whether we are pushing for Europe or fighting to stay out of the relegation zone in the 2nd tier.

And no matter how bad our forms gets, at least we are not as bad as Rangers.

Hearts have done some sort of weird charity shirt sponsorship deal

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32143790

quote:

Hearts will have their shirts sponsored by national charity Save the Children for the next three years.
It is the first time a British club has agreed a permanent shirt sponsor with a national charity - although Aston Villa were sponsored by local hospice Acorns during the 2008-09 season.
The deal has been funded by an anonymous "group of philanthropists", said Hearts owner Ann Budge.
A seven-figure sum will be split evenly between Hearts and the charity
