Cycling to edinburgh, Nuts 5-aside and new Celtic Signings....

I'm putting my lack of posting down to wedding preparations kicking into overdrive. Its still well over 2 months away but as weddings go that's really not that far away. Over the last month I've managed to cycle the length of the canal from Glasgow to Edinburgh (64 LONG miles), get to the quarter finals of the Nuts Magazine Glasgow 5-a-side tourney, join a new 11-side team, witness an unfortunate member of aforementioned 11-a-side break his leg during a game and more recently watch Celtic's latest signing Jan Venegoor of Hesselink ( that's a guess at the spelling) open his SPL account with a match winning goal against hibs on Saturday. Put in a lot of wedding plans around all that and my blogging has severely fallen to the wayside.

The next few months though my extra-curricular activities will be limited to sports and fitness so I'm nice and buff for sitting around looking cool on my honeymoon so I'll try and make an effort on the blog front.

I got decent tickets in the Lisbon Lions stand for the game and saturday and was well impressed with Naylor's debut at left back. JVOH stole the show with his winner though and the crowd really made him feel welcome. If the Gravesen signs then we really should be getting excited about the Champions League this year. Its not an easy group by a long shot with Manchester United , Benfica and FC Copenhagen all presenting difficult games but its definitely going to liven up Wednesday and Tuesday nights for the next few weeks.
