Hamilton Saint

Instant karma ...?

What was that all about?! Well...

Perez should have score there. Let off.

Armstrong shoots low and wide.

WH having a good spell now.

The whole stadium engages in a loud, slow rendition of OWTSGMI. Nice!

Corner for them.

Ings got a shot away.

Redmond gets a shot on goal after 90 secs.

Here we go. Saints playing towards the Northam End.

I've set up a Match Thread for your delectation and up-to-the-moment information.

Ready for KO. COYS!

Are you trying to get to Saints Player from the Club's website? I assumed that was what you meant.

For home games, it's usually an hour before KO. For away games, it averages about 20 minutes before. But the service has been erratic lately. I have it on now, though.

Good to see only one (forced) change to the line up. Good to see a more stable set up.

Merry Christmas from Canada! Only a thin layer of snow on the ground this morning, but it is a white Christmas here in Hamilton! Looking forward to an interesting year following SFC.

Thanks!

That would be awe-inspiring, eh?

Wes: "Why don't I get to wear one of them bras?" Lemina: "Ralph thinks that you are not developed enough yet."

When the u has an umlaut accent above it, it is a bit tricky to pronounce. Closest sound to it in English is "oo". I was taught that you form your lips as though to say "oo", but then try to say the "ee" sound.

The rain makes the bone spurs in his feet ache.

Just read "The Horseman" (2017) by Tim Pears. It was given to me by a friend, who lives near to where the book is set--on the border of Somerset and Devon. It's a wonderful novel. It doesn't have much of a plot, but revels in the landscape and natural history of the region. It follows the seasonal rhythms of farm-life in 1911-1912, focusing on a twelve-year old boy--a carter's son--who is obsessed with horses. It's the first of a planned trilogy. The second book, "The Wanderers", was release last January. I'll be reading that one for sure.
