Civil case so damages only.

Take the blinkers off and just think that through for a minute.

I seriously doubt that. If that were the case then I doubt she would have waived her right to anonymity and pursued this case.

Looking at his account, it solely consists of retweet after retweet, so it looks like he has completely no control over it. This begs the question - Is this a parody account?

I understand she is English - which is kind of handy.

A staffer has put her hands up and taken responsibility. So apparently the only thing Lewis MacDonald has shown is that he's not capable of running his own Twitter account.

I didn't realise that the civil trial had taken place. The judge has just ruled that Goodwillie raped the girl and have awarded £100k in compensation.

Verbally, from both Jo Coburn and the the Labour MP that was on.

Gove got something of a kicking on today's Daily Politics.

Latest one tonight is an absolute cracker. Lewis MacDonald, list MSP for the North East just tweeted claiming that he'd received racist abuse due to his English accent. He deleted the tweet straight away but unfortunately for him someone screen grabbed it. Given that he's not English and has a very distinctive North of Scotland accent, the only explanation can be that he's got a fake troll account and posted using his "official" one by mistake.

I'd agree with all of that except the part about Stones. A lot of their key players over the last few years are the wrong side of 30, especially in defence and show signs of being on the decline and arguably they haven't been replaced by better, younger players. For Stones, I think he has the talent and potential to be one of the best defenders in the world, but possibly not for another 3-4 years. His mistakes seem to be related to either trying to overplay or due to a loss of concentration. These are things that can be improved on with experience and coaching. I suspect that if he was playing alongside a fit Vincent Kompany, who could talk him through games, he wouldn't make quite so many mistakes.

Neil Oliver really is a total bawbag.

I'm sure that if the SNP lose a couple of councillors in Banff but take control of Glasgow, they won't be too troubled.

Good for the fishing industry though as all those exports to Europe will be a lot cheaper. That is until the tariffs kick in to hike the price up and then the price the fishermen get drops as the processors costs go up as they can no longer get East Europeans in to work for 50p an hour.

Here you, I was always a Joe's man. Joe's chip shop you understand, obviously not "The Joes".

No charges were brought by the PF. However, she did get a compensation payout from the CCB and I understand she's mounting a civil case.

Raping - allegedly - that girl was the beginning of his downfall.

Comparing Stephen Kingsley to Maschareno. That's the biggest laugh I've had since people on here were comparing Barry Bannan to Xavi.

That's the least of it. I see today that the president of Wycombe Wanderers died at a mere 102 years old.

Absolutely, and that's a big part of why we beat them home and away and qualified for Euro 96.

Daily Record has been edging towards support for independence ever since the EU referendum.

And most likely wrong, but it's just a feeling I have.

That was brilliant, it was the week after Easter and the Friday before the May bank holiday. That meant two long weekends in England one week after the other, so I went to New York and Boston for 10 days using only 3 days leave. I thought being in the US meant I would be able to get away from it but if anything they were even worse. I was in Times Square one morning and there was a big bloody London bus. Turned out it was for the Good Morning America Royal Wedding special, and this was days before. All the major US networks had full coverage of the ceremony.

Harsh on McLaren, I'd say the same about him as you did about Levein - which I agree with, BTW. The job he did against Baggio when we drew 0-0 with Italy in 1992 was a textbook example of Craig Brown's "kill the King" tactic. A real loss. I also think you are being unfair on Boyd as well but I guess it depends on how you define "a real Scotland great".

Local council by-elections throw up some strange results, you can't read too much into them in isolation. May's council elections will give a better indication of the direction of travel.
