I am gobsmacked. 2 goals already?

Thing is, the First Division game I saw last year (Falkirk v. Airdrie) looked pretty decent in terms of quality... so perhaps our Graeme is having an Indian Summer up in Scotland...

That said, one thing I recalled, even about that game, was that the pace was a fair bit slower than the pace of matches darn sarf. So for Jones to be &quot;looking slow&quot;, he must be practically running backwards...

P.S. Fankle... great word. No idea what it means, but I&#39;ll ask the missus...&#33;

Absolutely - the town of Col******r is indeed nicer than Southend. Don&#39;t agree about the surrounding area though - there&#39;s as many dodgy areas of Col******r as there are in Southend.

You hear plenty of stories about the squaddies up there getting carried away and giving innocent people a good pasting as well.
