i'll agree with that - though it is only the english game i have loved watching liverpool playing around with the extra gear (in their engine not the wardrobe) they have found. i also love it that i can watch them in the warm and dry in the pub. however, i wonder if it is time for them to maximise their potential by transferring to play in the scottish league?

yesterday i was up in glasgow again and joined the independence march in the pure pishin' rain. despite the weather we had an impressive turn out and plenty of energy and noise.

however, it did mean that i was wet and cold for the rest of the day - dinner in tennents bar and then to firhill to see partick thistle take on league leaders dundee united. there's a bit of a pattern for jags - a promising start, lose a goal and then lose hope . (1-4 yesterday) for the first time in recent years i left early (missing our only goal of course) seeking warmth and dry and another gloomy trip home to cumbria.

rumour has it we are due to sign 4 players in january. rumour doesn't have it that would be virgil, andy robertson (i'm sure he is longing to get hame) wijnaldum and firmino. but maybe if we could offer klippitty a new challenge he would bring these guys with him?
