HIGHLAND TOFFEE – 6.5/10 – Would you Luke at that? Few cumbersome touches then he clicked and impacted from the bench like Bruce Lee rocking up at Han’s goons’ birthday bash; Enter The McCowan. Scintillating link-up play to lay the second on a plate crowned his tie-sealing cameo.

YING – 6/10 – He couldn’t, could he? Eh, naw. Screwed his moment of glory wide; burd must have gone home. But he’s the effervescent sort that would walk smiling into a baseball bat to the face and he wasn’t down for long as he popped up gain to buddy with Luke and seal the deal.

DUNCAN IDAHO – 6/10 – One touch, one goal. ‘Game over, man. Game over…’ RIP Private Hudson.

  1. Captain Swing on

    In the absence of the Sons of William we may have to make do with the Cousins of William in the Final again, although none of the potential opponents outwardly should cause us much angst.

    Please just don’t let it be Livingston and the jailbird, I really can’t stand his whiny voice and gurning sour pus. ‘Mon the Saintees!

  2. Hopefully we get the Diets in semi so we don’t get the hate filled songbook in the final.
