Shut UP!
Are you going to Beijing??

Hey, I'm sure you'll be ridiculously busy,
but it also sounds like fun if it's on someone else's dime.

It's been a sad year for Scottish football that's for sure.

Tolka Rovers! Talk about a glamor tie!

My cousin was interning at Chicago's NPR station and he would have an hour and 30 minute commute each day and he also read a ton on route. One of the things I miss about being at uni instead of home is that I would always have more time to read on a consistent basis.

Here I go in spurts jumping from one form of media to the other. Right now with the Celtic season beginning, as well as several American sports slowly starting up, I spend most of my time browsing the net for various articles or information as opposed to reading the stack of books I have in the on deck circle.

I funnily enough played cricket at uni, so if you know any decent books there I'd be interested to know. I also brought that and rugby to the camp I used to work at during the summers (and since their high school has its own rugby program now).

India is the team I root for, although I rarely get to see games now.

I may get back into the book cycle in a few days, I'm halfway through several and more are waiting to be read including a book on Errol Flynn, who apparently was quite the character.

I have been looking for different things on the beginnings of American soccer though books like this.

It's $45 bucks. I don't know if its worth it or not. Have you heard of it before?

Your tour of Toronto's best beer bars and brewpubs starts here. Google map these spots and you'll be set for a good pint anywhere in the city.

Good shout, I actually saw that today.

It looked like it would be something for someone new to the game to pick up, but not for anyone that is a serious diehard of the sport and spends time following it.

I find many books written as essentially "Americans Abroad" are filled with the same old stuff and they have to explain "rules of the game" and things of that nature.

I wish most of them had moved past it, but they still write as if we don't have a fanbase that knows anything.

Oh wow really? and its about the EPL too.

Thanks for the heads up.

If there are any soccer related books you'd recommend do let me know. I am currently trying to compile some more to read over the next few months.

I've already hit a few of the big ones ---Yours of course , The Glory Game, Miracle of Castel Di Sangro, A Season with Verona, How Soccer Explains the World, Fever Pitch and a few others.

Also, Tamas is at Celtic Park for talks, probably should sign tomorrow.

When does Dundee United kick off preseason? It's got to be pretty soon. Rangers started last weekend and Celtic have games Friday and Saturday.

Consider us even.
I e-mailed Matt & Troy when I saw they initially called you "Tracker," and I can see they corrected that, dawg.
Next ale's on YOU.

You just signed McGovern from Celtic.
