David Obua, Once much abused by the lesser intellects of the Heart of Midlothian support, he scored our first goal of the season today, and now that he is playing in his proper position, I suspect the first of many this season. Being played out of position has not helped this Ugandans performance, however I knew he had talent, and was shouted down when I said so. I am being proved right! He may never be the greatest player in football but he does give his all and this is beginning to show through under JJ. The diving Naismith may well have equalised, but we all know that was against the run of play, at least that is how it looked on radio. Anyway a draw at Castle Grayskull to start the season and a defeat for the wee team tomorrow to add the icing on the cake. A decent start to the long, long, oh so very long football season.
Now here's a sad thing. I clicked on the paper tonight and found myself taken aback by the headline "Amy Winehouse dead at 27." I was suddenly depressed by this, and I did not even like the woman. To me she was a mixed up clot who spent far too much time appearing in the press, and rarely for any good reason. Her music was stale, and while she had a voice it was wasted on her I thought. I first saw her on one of 'Jools Holland's Hootenanny's' one New Year and asked "Is this the future of music?" She pawed her thighs in a strange manner, all the world looking like a six year old, and her song was almost inaudible. However the thought of her sudden death left me deeply depressed. The last thing I would wish was for her to die this way, probably a drug overdose, deliberate or accidental, and left me wondering why I could not do something to stop this. Stupid question. Had she lived next door I would probably have finished her off myself, but I did feel real unhappy at her death. What a waste of a life, and what a sad end.

On Sportsound today a Hearts fan texted in to ask them to say who REALLY scored for Hearts.
The diving Naismith probably was equalized, indeed. ????? Well, I learned something because I didn't know your football had "proper positions." I like that. Makes it seem more organized somehow. Sorry about Amy, too.
Hearts were on top until Templeton went off injured and Rangers equalised shortly after. A sign of progress that we're disappointed with only getting a draw at Ibrox - although it has to be said that was a poor Rangers team.
Oh no.... Not the football season already again.
Sad about Amy though. I've been catching glimpses of headlines which I didn't read, thinking she was up to her usual tricks. Somehow, sadly, it seems almost inevitable.
Rab, I heard that! :)
Max, Naismith is a diving Hun.
Mike, Great Rangers team, and we ought to have won! If only Obua had pulled his shot across the goal!
A, Oh no? I fail to understand.......
I still feel strangely sad about Amy. Very sad.
Is a diving WHAT??
And don't call me hun.
Is this about the German olympic swimming team again?
