Joe Garner is better than most our players though...Eh?
Are we talking about the Joe Garner who plays for Sevco and scored 10 goals in 34 games, most of those against an absolutely horrible Hamilton team? The same Joe Garner who scored dick all at any level above English League One? The same Joe Garner who is a nutter and should have been sent off on multiple occasions? Looking at your squad I would say that Garner would maybe be your second best striker (after Goncalves) and there are a number of other players I rate more highly than him. I'm not just saying this as a Celtic fan, I genuinely think Garner is pish regardless of who he plays for.

Class signing. Keep them coming Cathro.
Isn't this on Craig Levein?
Either way, the most generous term I can use for his career numbers so far is underwhelming. He's scored 29 goals in 145 league appearances in English League Two and Conference, which isn't exactly stellar. I hope for Hearts fans he turns into a Louis Moult type, but I predict he will end up being more like a shit Joe Garner

As a Celtic fan I hope all of these Jonny Hayes to Celtic rumours aren't true. He's a very good player but not as good as Sinclair and maybe a tad better than Forrest, but he's 29! Would much rather see Christie get a proper chance to impress Brendan and bring in a younger replacement for Roberts.

As a short guy I have long since given up thinking about this sort of thing, my Missus is slightly taller than me (I'm 5'5", she's 5'7") , if I only looked for shorter women I wouldn't get many dates! When I was younger (and more self conscious) it used to really get me down when I heard a girl say she was only interested in taller guys but at some point I gave up feeling sorry for myself.
Oh, and being short means that all the problems you tall people have with modern cattle class air travel aren't a problem for me!

Tbf he can't be any worse than that awful Bates character. He's comically bad!
And he's not even the worst CB on their books. Both Senderos and Kiernan are much worse IMHO

I don't see why signing yet another expensive over the hill player like Alves makes sense. Were the likes of Barton, Senderos, and Krancjaer not enough of a warning?

Got back last night, have to say I had an absolute blast once again. Some of the local watering holes we frequent are starting to remember us as "those two Canadian guys", not sure if that's a good thing or not. Great race (which is becoming a regular saying for the 500) once again, our section in the turn 1 area (SW Vista) went crazy when Sato won, pretty much everyone was happy for him because he's known to be a really nice guy and a hard charging driver. Helio's reaction at the end just shows how much this race means to people, until you are actually there in person you can never truly appreciate how big, and how important this race is.
Oh and Sato's pass with 22 laps to go (3 wide on the outside) on Helio and Ed Jones going into turn 1 was amazing.

Not overly confident about Hinch to be honest, but he's good around here so should do well. I'm thinking Dixon will win this year, he has looked so smooth in practice.

It's about 250K grandstand seats however there is a lot of general admission space, last year was the 100th running and the estimate was somewhere in the 350,000 range so this year it may be closer to 300k

On the road to Indianapolis for the 500, approaching Cleveland 7.5 hours driven, another 6 ish to go

Berra is a solid signing for Hearts, a central defensive partner of Berra and a healthy John Souttar should be solid. It's also a pretty damning admission by Cathro and Levein that their January signings were mostly shite.

Although I echo the sentiments that he stayed in the Bond role a couple of films too long (he was really awkwardly too old for Bond in "A view to a kill") he was still charming in the earlier roles, added a bit of comedic timing to Bond that was sometimes lacking in the Connery films.

Ugh, just as the excitement of Indy is building, the racing world brings you down a peg. 2006 Motorcycle world champion Nicky Hayden has died after being hit by a car while cycling in Italy last week.
RIP Nicky Hayden 1981-2017

Don't really no much about janko but Christie and GMS most definitely loved GMS while he was a DABJanko is a pacy right back, had an absolute shitemare in the second leg of champions league qualifying so Brendan shipped him off to Barnsley on loan. He's frequently injured but has some skill

Yeah it reduces the risk but qualifying midfield isn't the disaster it would be in F1.
Anyway, Alonso only managed to qualify fifth. Poor show
Middle of row 2 should be safe, although he be a bit worried about having Sato next to him. IMS is really sensitive to wind and a lot of drivers were getting caught on the exit of turn 2, a couple of guys brushed the wall. In the end the cream rises to the top and the best driver in Indycar, Scott Dixon, put together as perfect a 4 lap qualifying run as you will ever see. He was smooth and consistent, especially through the troublesome turn 2

Do we get a group discount?
Haha, probably not. I'm just trying to be helpful. We have a bunch of players who need a new home and Aberdeen would be a great place for these lads.
Plus I want to see Aberdeen stay strong so that Sevco doesn't finish second next year...

He's through to the fast nine so he'll be guaranteed first three rows regardless of what happens. Tremendous effort. Due to the length of the race I always feel qualifying at Indy and Le Mans isn't that vital (Dario started something ridiculous like 18th last time he won Indy and got spun early on) however it's still fantastic from Alonso.
That is quite true, although qualifying higher up helps reduce the risk of getting involved in someone else's accident in the early laps, the 3 wide start means that it can get very congested in the first laps. In 2012 Dario started 16th, it was a weird year because it was the first of the new turbo engine formula and the Chevrolet's were faster but the Honda's were more fuel efficient meaning that by the end it was the Honda cars up front. I was sitting closer to the start/finish straight that year (in what's called B stand) and it was a pretty epic battle at the finish. I was pulling for Takuma Sato to win but he ended up doing a Sato on the last lap and crashing while going for the lead.

Apparantly the goalie for Buchbach in the 4th tier pulled a Jimmy Glass and kept them up by scoring a 96th minute winner!

I'm glad that Bourdais wasn't more seriously injured but I'm gutted for him being out for a while. He's had such a good season so far driving for one of the smallest budget teams. It was a really hard hit, thankfully he hit the SAFER barrier or else it could have been much worse.

Looks like final "Fast Friday" practice is done and dusted. Sebastien Bourdais was fastest of the day at over 233 MPH although Ryan Hunter-Reay had the fastest "no-tow" speed with a 231.2. Most teams were doing qualifying sim runs, Alonso's fastest lap was a 231.8, with fastest "no-tow" speed being a 230.9. IMS is extremely weather sensitive so if it's cool and not windy in qualifying on the weekend then there could be some pretty good speeds. The 4 lap average qualifying runs require a lot of concentration so any wind gusts can cause problems.
A couple of young drivers, Spencer Pigot and Zach Veach both crashed but were unhurt today.
Edit: forgot to add that Alonso's best overall speed was 4th fastest and best no-tow speed was 5th fastest

Nearly succeeded in my goal of winning the champions league with a (mostly) Scottish Celtic team. Got to the final in 2024 only to be pumped 5-2 by Man United. Starting XI contained 9 Scots and 2 Italians. Bench had 4 Scots, 1 Italian, 1 Portuguese, and 1 Dane.

He would be second best of your forwards mostly because Hearts have a lack of depth up front. Your second best striker (of the 6 listed on Wiki) is Bjorn Johnsen so I would rate Garner slightly above Johnsen but a long way behind Goncalves.
Either way Garner is my gold standard for shite forwards, at least this Stockton lad isn't costing you anything so if he doesn't score a single goal then he will be better value for money than Garner.
