Paul Dalglish, son of Kenny, and Livingston's highest goal scorer of the 2005-2006 season has been sold
for a nominal fee and in return Sam Morrow. Now I'm no expert but if
you are bottom of the SPL and struggling to get goals getting rid of the
guy who scored most for someone who has scored none all season looks
like a potential nomination for the Darwin awards.
Considering
the club had offered Dalglish an extended contract in December this
sudden turn around in events takes some understanding.

No Longer Bottom of the League
After finally getting over all the elections of this year it is a
relief to get back to watching football on a Saturday afternoon again.
This afternoon I took the short hop to Dunfermline for what was a real needle match, there is a lot of animosity between the fans and the chairmen of the two clubs. However, we came away smiling as Livingston won away 1-0 and deservedly so. There was a good traveling support we had to queue for fifteen minutes to get to the turnstile. But Paul Dalglish standing in sparkling form and it was he who scored a belter of a goal. Sized up looking to get through from the edge of the box just like his old man. If it is King Kenny we have definitely found Prince Paul.
The result is our first win in the league all season following 5 draws. However most importantly it takes us off the bottom leaving Dunfermline there instead with just one win and three draws.
While we were getting back into the car the draw was made for the semi-finals when we avoided Celtic and got Dunfermline again. There is a real possibility of us getting to our fourth game at Hampden (semi-finals of the Scottish are also played at the national stadium).

Dalglish Scores Winner in Cup Tie
Before any of you think I am going slightly mad or have stepped out
of a TARDIS by accident I'm not referring to King Kenny but to his son Paul.
This season I must have entered an elite groups of people who have cheered on both Kenny and Paul from the terraces/stands while they play for my team. Being Northern Irish I feel that I am allowed to indulge my football support not just for home team Bangor but also two other teams that have been in European competition, Liverpool and Livingston.
Paul has overcome a slight injury earlier this season to return with strength to the Livi starting line up. Scoring in extra time in today's game against Inverness Caledonian Thistle to secure a place in the semi-finals of the CIS Insurance Cup.
