Very exciting times and we have the right to be uniquely optimistic. That said, remember this is more important to us than it is to just about anyone else. (Try telling a English football supporter about him, they don't care ...yet)

The good news is that this indicates Junior might be coming back to be more of a definitive first team player, in that it shows where Colin's priorities lie.

Really big late win for his side yesterday. Subbed in the 84th but had some good contribution, draws a fair number of fouls which helps with Colin's style. Hopefully this professionalism will help us see out some away results in Central American in the future. On their way to proving we wrong and staying up. Only half way there but won't be going down with the Christmas decorations at least.

Echo this. Their midfield three made the difference for the Gers. Also, Hoillett starts against Leicester, bit of trash talk so far.

Watched their game. Good movement and smart passing but he was being asked to play a little further forward than where he plays best, in my very humble opinion. He was in the middle of some very nice moves when they brought on attacking subs late. Rangers were unlucky/could not finish but were the better team. (The ref did not help.) Shame everybody went out of Europe this week, gave me something to care about on weekday nights.

Got to watch him live for the first time in a long while last night. Smarter and more "professional" than I remember him. Makes some very good runs off the ball and knows how to draw a foul these days. Got beat defensively a couple times, not sure if he is slowing down or just switched off. Overall though a mature attacker and a lot the threat Cardiff posed when were labouring in the first half, he had a part in (including the penalty of course). Great to have someone in the national side that will have to learn to show some steel in the face of a relegation battle, against very good opposition.

Keeps his place in Cardiff's home opener. The team is battling better against the Spanish waiter's side side so far. Ball not near Junior much to this point.

So all three go through. Late drama for Larin's Beskitas as Negredo scores to give them an away goals win but having been booked a few minutes earlier, takes off his shirt and gets sent off. Got to love footballers.

Larin and Arfield starting, David on the bench in their respective games.

Feel really bad for him especially after his time here and elsewhere in Europe. Not sure what has been said but needs a shout and a claim from the keeper while Doneil just stays big and in between the man and the ball. The defending player facing outfield should always take initiative vs. one facing the goal. Of course, easy to say sitting here.

2-0 Shame. I was double supporting Cardiff against Wilson the handballer and company. Hopefully find points somewhere this season but I think it will be tough. Did not buy to stay up in my opinion. Still 90' in the Premier League for our man.

Cheers, was getting late, apparently.

Not a great, though not terrible, result for Borjan and Red Star in the Europa League qualifiers. 1-1 at home, so go to Slovakia next week needing a goal in the second leg. Red Star took the lead with a penalty but Grendel scored for the visitors right after, the monster, (sorry could not resist) ruining Borjan's clean sheet run.

Arfield came on at the 75', and Rangers advance after Osijek made it interesting, scoring in the 89'. Face Maribor in the next round.

And there it is from good ole' Gohkan Tore
