Champions League Final: Buffs FC met MS Sarakham in the final of the Champions League today.

The opposition lined up in a 4-1-2-3 and Buffs withdrew their wings into a more neutral midfield role - 4-1-4-1.

The first half was a stalemate with chances either end but nothing significant, possession was equal - although Sarakham were forcing corners Buffs defensive line were rock steady.

As the second half got underway both managers made changes to the midfield personnel but stuck with the starting formations. The opener came for Sarakham in 56 minutes when Mackay pulled down Soursdey on the edge of the box (earning a yellow card) and Soursdey himself got up and curled a sweet strike in off the back post. 56 minutes gone and Buffs were 1 down. Buffs Mad signalled a change: Slim Jim Baxter and Jimmy "Jinky" Johnstone pushed forward into a more customary 4-5-1V. The equaliser in 71 minutes came from a ferocious Paul McStay strike that almost punched a hole in the net. Buffs Mad immediately ordered his lads to increase the intensity and in 75 mins Law rounded the keeper - although he ran out of space and clipped it across goal for the in-rushing McStay to claim his second. 2-1 for the Buffs.

Sarakham brought the subs on and went 4-3-3. Law was tired but still running around like a headless chicken, buzzing anywhere and everywhere, and ballooned over in 78 from close range. Buffs Mad told reserve Striker Michael Mols to warm up - which clearly had an impact on Law, as he set up Baxter with a chip that was half-volleyed from close in. It was Law's last action of the day as Mols came on - thank goodness the ref didn't allow the change earlier. With 88 minutes gone and 3-1 up, Buffs let the clock tick down and thats how it finished.

\o/ Buffs FC mark their second Champions League campaign and second Final by successfully defending the trophy. \o/

Best time to start a referral team?

Hi all, there hasn't been much to report the last couple of days - we drew our match yesterday, and won the rest. What I want to ask is whether Sunday, is the best time to start a referral team. I mean the first day of the season seems yto make sense as the best day to start one, right?

4 of the players who doesn't seems to perform and/or didn't got enough gametime, have been placed on transfer market, in order to gain finances and start to buy new players for next season.

Come on Genie!

For those who are whining about Murray, for men's singles, DIMITROV could shine on top.

I don't whine about Murray - he does enough whining at himself.

If Federer or Djoker is not there

Ah, think there's a language barrier here. I really meant whining - which is moaning or complaining - at himself. No one whines like Murray.

Love to see Murray win again but I'd be quite happy with Dimitrov too, as a second choice. Still can't get over the idea that we use the words Scottish Tennis Slam & Champion in the same sentence.
