The best part about reading that is it said "full fitness." I'm happy for him and I'm excited to see him back on the field especially if he is wearing the ol' Anthracite. Hopefully he will make a full return and not lose confidence.

Madryan -- real Irishmen don't cheer for Rangers, trust me. Unless you're a queen-worshipper.

Is it ok to be Scottish and Irish at the same time?

I am much more excited about this knee rehab.

Spot on, WNT.

That rehab scares me because it would mean more time with just Foudy and Stone. That pairing still keeps me up at night.

If Beas is back in "full training" with Rangers, any chance he could play a part in their UEFA Cup semi-finals and potentially final yet this spring?

I loved that that perfectly-weighted thru ball that Beasly sent in for Clint Dempsey to score against Ghana in Germany 2006.
Welcome back Beas.

WNT thanks for the link to my congressman.
So do real Scots Irish support what team?
I have a very Irish name but am also Scottish and have long had a revulsion to the drunk, frat boy "Irishman". St. Patricks day is amateur night and I skip it as a rule.
I as the soccer bug continues it's consumption I begin to wonder what team is "mine"?
Of course USA is #1 but do I just say go Celtic, Go Ireland and just pretend I'm not scottish?
Maybe I should just head back to Kitty Oshea's next time DCU is playing on FSC and ask the crowd?

Good deal Beasley.
