Yup, I think the picture with that article sums up the expressions we're all wearing too.

Duff is a big loss, but Reid & Gibson were unlikely to figure so I'm not so fussed.

Miller is a step closer to getting on the pitch at some stage.

Please Andy Reid, fly over and camp outside the ground with a big "I'm sorry" sign around your neck.
