Didn’t stay up for the draft, but have caught up with all the coverage through the day. Thought most teams did alright apart from the Falcons (an astonishing draft pick) and the Broncos (reaching for a very mediocre QB). For the Raiders, I’m happy enough with the Brock Bowers pick. TE wasn’t really a need, but reports seem to suggest he was one of the better players in the draft and will be a really good weapon for whoever we have at QB.

It been moved to Dens? Makes sense with the Dundee Union fleg brigade and Lochee on the doorstep.

My dear mother decided to throw out all my old football tops including the Accies B&Q Cup season winning one from 91. Oldest I have off the top of my head is a Daft Punk tour T Shirt from 2007

Oystercatcher eggs on Dumfries pitch hit football fixtures - BBC News An oystercatcher which has laid its eggs on a pitch in southern Scotland has hit football fixtures in the area. The discovery was made on Friday at the North West Community Campus in Dumfries, which hosts a number of different sides. Threave Rovers Under-20s were due to play East Kilbride Thistle at the ground on Friday night, but that game had to be postponed. Lochmaben FC's Saturday fixture against Creetown FC in the Cree Lodge Cup and Queen of the South Ladies' League One match versus Airdrie Ladies on Sunday were both due to be played on the pitch, but could also be affected. Threave Rovers confirmed the unusual reason for the game cancellation on their Facebook page. It said Dumfries and Galloway Council had been left with "no option" but to close the facility ahead of the weekend's football fixtures. The club said the Scottish SPCA was dealing with the situation but it could take up to 28 days to be sorted.

You might want to edit that...

Big win for Girvan wednesday night dragging themselves out the relegation zone. Gow on remarkable run of form, midweekers always throw up a few suprises im sure there will be plenty twists and turns yet. Big game for Bellshill they desperately need to bounce back tomorrow against a good Dalry side.

Yes it is. The guys were booked but after speaking to a couple of folk at the club, we were given apologies after they said it was shut due to staff shortages from a hospitality perspective. They'd tried all week to plug the gaps but to no avail. They rely a fair bit on youngsters/students and they've got exams. Gordon and Mike are now playing the Old Inn. So, they gain.

Tories and Conservatives are happy to joint run councils and have the exact same views on nearly everything so you'd have to say it's not unlikely to happen for flag shagging purposes.

So what you are saying is this is Willie Rennie's moment?

Shame, I'm sure that seemed like a real zinger in your head too.

Goal difference could end up being crucial, so winning tomorrow by more than 1 could end up being very important. At this stage I’ll just be happy with 3 points, but a few goals would be handy. Even more so if Stranraer lose, as it would leave them needing a win by more than 1 against stenny on the last day. Believe Nathan Austin might not make this one? Ideal if not because he always scores against us.

Aye old inn now 12.30 until 2.30

As are it seems the Politicians’….

Ashfield hitting the right form at the business end of the season, would be unbelievable getting back to back promotions.

Now a further statement by the Buckie club president. “As your club president it is not only my responsibility, but my duty to inform you of the facts / circumstances that resulted in the decision made yesterday by the SFA. I am personally gutted for our fantastic management team and our fantastic players, who all did so much to make us all proud, and to all of you , our fantastic and loyal supporters. The statement issued by the SFA yesterday indicates that we did not reply to their requests. We have in fact been actively preparing for a Bronze Licence since late last year when it was clear that was the requirement from the SPFL. I will state straight away that we did in fact miss the cut off date for the “period of grace “ from the SPFL. We have to accept that and categorise as an error never to be repeated. However earlier this week we were asked to submit a request for this to the SPFL, which we did straight away. Why did they request this ? On the licencing side ( SFA ) I had a Teams meeting with the SFA Licencing Committee at Hampden on Wednesday to discuss the 4 applications for derogation that we had previously submitted. We were granted 3 of those derogations, the Floodlights, The Safety Officer and the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. The Medical Return was deferred to the next meeting due on the 15th of May. We have been unable to complete / submit our Medical Return because we are still trying to engage the services of a Doctor to attend all of our home games , this is a requirement for Bronze Level. This is currently our stumbling block and I believe the reason for our failure to be granted a Bronze Licence. I have to stress that during ALL the dialogue between the club, the SPFL and the SFA, there was never any mention of the pending disaster that unfolded last night. I received the e-mail last night at 5 o’clock, informing us that we would not be taking part in the Pyramid Playoffs. The rest, as they say is history. On a personal note I can only hope the above statement of fact clarifies the clubs current status as regards the licencing procedures and the efforts we have put into gaining a Bronze Licence. We felt we were in a good position , but unfortunately we were off the mark there. I would like to finish this by saying that the board, committee and management team will continue to pursue the Bronze Licence, do our utmost to keep our management team and players together, and fight ( as we did this season ) for the title again next season. We owe this to every one of you at Buckie Thistle Football Club.”

Lose here and at County and we are only 3 points above them.

Of course he is. It’s his regular routine on here.

Surely Killie would have made St Mirren aware we would sell it out considering tickets were only being made available to season ticket holders and even then on a first come first served basis with no general sale.

Limited edition gold champions home tops go on sale in the shop Monday morning at 9.30am to ST holders, 200 being sold in the shop and 100 being sold by Greaves and they are individually numbered.

Makes you think

You won't get 2 of SNP/Conservatives/Labour in coalition ... only 1 with Lib Dems/Greens. Don't always need majority though... Salmond ran SNP minority for 4yrs with mainly Conservative 'vote-by-vote support'.

How many grounds have you visited with a dog? I had (temporary) custody of a dog once, a ridgeback cross called Martin. I did what I thought was best, and took him to a Penicuik game. Unfortunately he lurched towards a boy holding a pie and devoured most of the pie before we could say “bloody hell Martin, you’re faster than Stuart McKean (aka Snowy)”. The pie was replaced (by me, not Martin, frankly he took no ownership for his difficult behaviour), and we all went about our day. Penicuik probably lost 2-1. Anyway I would very much like to see Sam, and Jon, get their picture upon the Hampden museum. Let’s get this done!
