Eh naw... let's be accurate here. Shame on N.E. Scotland (as well as a few other constituencies). I never voted Tory and neither did my constituency

Excellent - cheers for that. I'm looking forward to it a lot Night life will be of no concern of mine - I'm too old for that! And going with the wife and our wee 2 year old in anycase.

Going to Ohrid fairly shortly. How did you find it? The weather there just now is causing me anxiety!! (very thundery and stormy)

Anyone know the odds on a Tory majority. Cant see anything other than that (sadly) and so seeking comfort in shape of a few extra quid.

I'd love you to be proved correct, but i really cant see it in a million years

I done it - my lasting memory of it will be the support from the locals in the towns. They were outstanding!

Have a look at the Ross Co V Accies highlights. Not that there was many, but the Accies fans were shoehorned right in beside the corner flag whilst the rest of the stand (including behind the goals) lay empty. Cant have made for much a view - meanwhile the better seats are lying completely empty.

Dundee play at Dens on Saturday, - that's the only reason the game is on Friday.

Buckie in the clear and thus should wrap up the title tomorrow http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39664640

Yeah they should win that. Although Cove recently could only draw 0-0 with them - a result that looks like costing them the title.

Yes been keeping a very keen eye on it, but didn't know about the ineligible player situation. That would be tough on Buckie if they were to lose league on the strength of that, especially after such an amazing season. (seemingly from nowhere too - has someone put money into Buckie?)

And also Thomas Cruise. Went on to have a very successful career in the film industry.

Really in the sh!t now..

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39448474 If the allocation goes through as per this article, Oceania given a slot at the finals (as opposed to just a play off they have just now) - so to all intents and purposes New Zealand guaranteed a World Cup final place from 2026 onwards. Wonder if Australia will try to crawl their way back into Oceania...

Do they not? I must say I thought England usually had their friendlies sorted out way in advance - perhaps not this time. England game is a fortnight after the cup final, so could work out that a number of players will go a few weeks without a game beforehand (in the case of any players in the Championship in England who aren't involved in the play off, about a month I'd have thought!)

Totally preposterous that, on the fairly reasonable assumption we'll take on a friendly game the week before the England game, we actually have no idea what our next match is! SFA in a nutshell....

Having looked well detached a couple of weeks ago, Cowdenbeath could escape yet. They play Clyde a week on Saturday in a huge match (and Edinburgh the week after who aren't safe themselves).

In the knowledge that you're a Clyde fan, and all that they've brought to the table - you'll be feeling a touch anxious after last night.

I would definitely have a look at him v Canada. Sadly there's no way in this world Strachan would ever call up a player from Partick Thistle

I would recommend avoiding both those. For your first, I think you should look to one of the mass participation events (Edinburgh and Loch Ness come to mind) as the crowds and fellow runners will keep your spirits up, especially for those last few miles. Im pretty sure both the ones you mention get pretty small fields, and you could find yourself running on your own for large chunks of the race, and very few people there when you cross the finishing line,

TAMB used to have a really good horse racing thread. Seems to have died on its' feet....

Scary thought is that Scotland could be looking for a manager in a few weeks time, and he could well be on the lookout for a job himself **shudders**

Not last night

Ross Wallace, Jamie Murphy, Stephen Fletcher and Barry Bannan all on the park in tonight's Brighton v Sheff Wed match. Bannan a standout and running the show
