    I was in Salou last week and there were plenty of pubs showing the Celtic match. The main drag had a few pubs with it on......apologies I don't know the names.

    My dad and brother went to Murphy's bar to watch the Celtic match and said it had plenty of TVs with a few different matches on. It was just around the corner from our hotel Villa Dorado if you google it.

    Yeh noticed a couple last night showing it so should be sorted ...... maybe have a wander at lunchtime today and try and find Murphys

    Cheers.

    Cheers Euan found somewhere that will be showing it but may look this place up too.......r u still wi Baker?

  3. The Focus is just an example of the deals on 2014 bikes that are available at this time of year. It really is a great time to buy, as 2015 bikes are out, Christmas is over and the weather's rubbish, so there are plenty deals to be had.

    If you haven't set your heart on either of the two, shop around and see if you can pick up a full carbon bike for around the same price as the two you picked out.

    Try before you buy, though, and buy from a local shop also, if possible.

    If you've got your heart set on one of the two above, though, it really is down to brakes.

    Disk brakes on road bikes are a relatively new thing but are becoming more popular. They're better than rim brakes, but I can't think of a situation where rim brakes have let me down.

    If brakes aren't a factor for you, just pick the bike that looks the nicest.

    Think I've settled on the Cannondale...........cheers for the advice.

  4. If there's little difference in frames ride & comfort then get disc brakes,no cable yins tho, they're pash.

    Time for a road bike fer me too,changed work and doubled+ ma commute distance. Always get annoyed if I ever (rare) get overtaken by a road biker cos I know it's only because they've got a far lighter more speed suited bike than my mtb.

    Any suggestions?seen a calibre stat bike that looked ok for around £650 as a starter bike...

    Unfortunately the bike I am looking at has the cable disc brakes, saying that, I'm sure thats what my MTB has and they're fine.

    I'm exactly the same re people overtaking, make all sorts of excuses re the weight / suspension / tyres on my bike compared to theres'.

  5. Test ride them both and see which one you like.

    Aside from the disc brakes, they're both much the same component-wise, so geometry and comfort may help make up your mind.

    Does it have to be between those two?

    You could pick up a 2014 carbon bike for around the same price?

    There should be loads of deals out there. For instance, Edinburgh Bike Co-op are doing a Carbon 2014 Focus Cayo Evo 4 for £949.

    Took them both out a couple of weeks ago and still couldn't decide.

    Those were the two (in shop) that I FINALLY managed to narrow my choice down to..............I've been told that I need 54 cm bike / frame, Cayo only has 48 / 51 online.

    Scotland Supporters Club Members can buy their tickets NOW for what promise to be two exciting matches this November.

    Scotland take on Republic of Ireland at Celtic Park on Friday 14th November, followed by an unmissable rematch against England four days later.

    Following the second home match of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign against Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland, Gordon Strachan and our national team have the opportunity to avenge the narrow 3-2 defeat to England at Wembley last year in a Vauxhall International Challenge Match.

    Buy your tickets by 12 noon on Monday 6 October for either of these matches to take advantage of your exclusive member discount.

    Cheers Spicey, for some reason I didn't get this mail
