Jugement Day

The very likeable Steven Gerrard goes before an FA Disciplinary Tribuneral today at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton to decide on the punishment for his vicious tackle on Gary Naysmith in the Merseyside derby at Analfield back in December. Not surprisingly, Gerrard was not sent off or even booked for his two footed over the top lunge, the ref was the one and only Graham Poll - who didn't see the incident!
Gary's scream could be heard throught the ground and on SKY tv and the incident was widely publicised, let's hope the FA use the full power and give a three match ban - this would let him off lightly, he deserves a minimum six match ban plus castration! (3/2/03)
LATEST - Justice was partly done today at the Reebok when Gerrard was given an immediate 3 match ban, the equivalent of a straight red card, for his tackle on Gary Naysmith. We did not hear wether or not Poll was to get a bollocking for his continued incompetence! (03/02/03)

Two Goals in Two Games

Nace has had a slow start this season having only started a handful of games, but he has done his chances no harm at all, by scoring from midfield in his last two games. The rest of the midfield players have only scored 3 goals between then all season. With Pembo still struggling with a calf injury, Nace looks set to continue on the left side of midfield against Blackburn. Even when Pembo is fit, Moyesy may keep faith with Nace, as the manager has said if you play well, you keep the shirt. There maybe some fans saying Nace hasn't played brilliantly, but the goal threat, may give him the deciding vote. (12/12/02)

Nace Starts His Season With A Bang

Gary Naysmith scored an absolute beauty for Scotland against Iceland in their 2-0 victory. He also had a hand in the first Scottish goal crossing for Christian Dailly to head home. This will certainly kick start Gary's season and could find himself in the starting line up against Arsenal next Saturday. (12/10/02)

Nace withdraws from The Scottish Squad

Gary Naysmith has withdrawn from the Scotland squad to face the Faroe Islands on Saturday. He has a slight anckle problem, which has caused him not to train with the Scotland squad. Scotland manager Berti Vogts hinted, if Scotland were playing stronger opposition he may well have played Naysmith.

Berti says: "He has not been able to train at all with us. But it is not a big problem. We are not playing against the French, we are playing against the Faroes."

So this means Gary should be fit to play against Southampton next Wednesday. (06/09/02)
