Game day posters are making a comeback. Here's a Tintin parody for a match between CF Reus Desportiu and RCD Espanyol B of the Spanish third flight. CFRD won 3 - 1.
How many years has it been since anyone used a football with a surface divided into black pentagons and white hexagons? Yet it remains the standard sign of footballness, the way an incandescent lightbulb still represents a bright idea.
The SPFL is in action this weekend, all except Greenock Morton and Queen of the South, who got this fixture out of the way two months ago to create a holiday break.
How often have Morton played on Saturday, December 26th, and how did they do?

Morton have two fixtures against Hibs that need to be rearranged: the December 5th game that was rained out; and the January 30th game that will be bumped by Hibs' League Cup semi final.
Tomorrow: Karşıyaka [0 - 1] Altınordu.
I'll put all the Emperor's Cup and Empress's Cup updates in the January 1st post.
