League: Buffs FC slip up in the league with draw away to the 4th placed side, Firetruck FC.

The Buffs had won the corresponding home fixture 7-0 earlier in the season and set up 4-4-1-1 against the home sides 4-4-2.

The Buffs got off to a good start on 19 minutes when the home sides DC got sent off for a push (assault more like) in the box and McCoist struck home. This galvanised the home side who gained in possession and equalised from the last of 3 corners in the 38th minute. At half-time Buffs Mad hauled off the wide men (Baxter & Henderson) and narrowed the midfield with Souness coming in and pushing Dalglish up front - 4-3N-1-2. Possession was gained and a few chances came but a heroic save by the home keeper in 65 mins kept it all square. The Buffs left it late to re-take the lead as McCoist header home a Gemmill corner in the 82nd minute.

With Buffs Mad shuffling uncomfortably as the minutes ticked down the sirens screamed as Firetruck got a corner in the last minute. Hansen headed behind but there was time for another - and it was all the time that was needed as the header went in off the bar.

No further action. Firetruck had snatched a draw at the death. The Buffs' lead at the top is now 2 points.

Buffs Mad kicked a water bottle and it crashed into the rubbish bin. "See, that's how its done!" he said as AMC James McFadden passed by, head bowed.

Goals: McCoist (19, 82).

League: Buffs FC beat the 2nd bottom side 11-0 to reclaim top spot by 2 pts.

The opposition set out i 4-1-3W-2 and Buffs slipped on the cosy old slipper of a 4-5-1V. Unfortunately MC Paul McStay suffered a Broken Foot (8 days) after scoring 2 FKs within 9 minutes of each other. James McFadden AML came on as sub in 73 minutes and scored on the 73rd minute.

Goals: McCoist (5, 51, 70, 85), Baxter (9), Henderson (12), Henderson (28), Paul McStay (40, 49), McGrain (52), McFadden (73).

The Buffs play the bottom side in the next match.

League: Buffs FC successfully Park the Bus against the bottom Club with a 3-0 win away.

Opposition played 3W-4-1-2 with DMC in goal and the Buffs went 4-1-2-3W-0 and got 20% possession. Buffs Mad forgot to change to Def. Counter. but did so after 20 mins. Engine gave the Buffs lots of midfield and defensive mistakes but stil got plenty of last defender tackles.

Goals: Baxter (11, 43), Gemmill (51).

League: Buffs FC faced the 7th placed side at home.

Having surveyed the fixtures Buffs Mad was confident that they had the easier run in - there was light at the end of the tunnel.

As the match kicked off the opposition soon had a dbl corner. They were finding gaps in the flanks. After 10 mins the corner count was 5-0 to opponent and then on 13 mins another one was nodded home - 1-0 for the visitors.

Seemed that the 'light' was the Troll Bus careering headlong into the Buffs goal. Buffs Mad considered switched from Normal to Attacking mentality to check possession/c-a. Down. So the choice was Defensive or go for it. The switch was made to ND on 30 mins. The Buffs equalised on 51 mins and then took the lead in 59.

*Honk honk* went the Bus again as Nicol chopped down the attacker and a Penalty was awarded. McGregor saved *phew*.

Almost immediately Gemmill in the midfield danced his way up the park for the 3rd = 3-1 win.

Goals: McCoist (51), Dalglish (59), Gemmill (84).

The Bus was punctured and the Barmy Army set it ablaze after the match.

Buffs remain 2 pts in front and travel to meet 2nd tomorrow.

Squeaky Bum time? Nah, its already Tattered Ring time. >.<

*Stumble* *Trip*

League: Buffs FC draw 0-0 away to second placed team. Still unbeaten, still 2 points ahead, still trying hard to lose it.....
