Seemed to play the game with ease first time around at us. Occasionally deciding to ping a 30 yarder into the top corner when he fancied. Wonder how it would have all turned out if he'd stayed with us instead of going to Celtic. Was still a top player when he returned and will always remember his second debut for us at Hamilton....you guessed it, a casual 30 yarder into the top corner a few mins after coming off the bench. Tremendous player in his prime and gave me so many good memories.

30 yards or whatever his second debut was against Dundee U at ER the week before that goal.

Yup, the corner of the box is 18 yards from the goal line and 18 yards from the goal posts. The goal posts are 8 yards apart and the crossbar is 2.67 yards high. Therefore a shot from exactly the corner of the box to the nearest top corner would be just over 25.5 yards. A shot to the furthest top corner would be 31.7 yards.

My inexact calculations based on youtube footage puts Riordan's returning goal as a 25 yarder (not taking into account any curl or dip on the ball... ).

Good knowledge!

Those saying they aren’t paying their players might want to get those they get playing for them to stop mouthing off about how much they are getting for doing so.

Do me a favour and PM whose saying that mate? Certainly nobody being paid to play for us.

O'Connor played for them last Saturday in 1-1 draw with whoever they played.

By the looks of things there's a boy called Horribine playing for them as well, was there not a lad called Horribine that was at the Hibs u-20s a few years ago?

Obviously a few decent players at St Bernards now!

They played Tollcross as a guy I work beside plays for them. Lets just say he wasn't impressed with Riordan and O'Connor's fitness levels.

Just seen a couple of the goals on the St Bernard’s Facebook page. Really good goals

Thanks very much! What an unbelievable achievement for us.

Had another semi final tonight and after a heavy, heavy weekend of celebrating, we reached another final. Derek Riordan who missed the last 3 games through injury, stepped off the bench to curl home a free kick.

Goal can be seen on St Bernard’s afc Facebook and twitter

Spotted Derek in Toni Macaroni's a wee while back, must have been this club he was on the phone to.

St Bernard's playing Sandy's at Spartans today, 2 o'clock KO for anyone wanting to go and watch some football instead of the wee wedding that's on today.

I'd recommend this to anyone needing a football fix. 2 cracking teams and the other games between them this season have been a bit tasty.

Will be a great game. Bob mckenzie who plays centre mid for sandys is a class player and has had a great season.think sandys will be too strong but with the individuals st.bernards have they could sneak it

If it is a two pm KO surely it is finished ?
