Mrs Murray gave birth to a wee girl at 7am this morning.

Tbf he's a year younger than all 3 you mentioned when at Raith. Jay Rodriguez didn't set the heather alight at Stirling at the same age but has played premiership and for England. Plus craig isn't a rapist.

I don't think there is anything massively controversial in the Jackson article, it is simply another in a long line that takes the conventional media/pundit view that Scottish football is merely treading water until Rangers (and to a far lesser extent Hibs) are back in the top flight, a couple of real diddy clubs can be jettisoned and we can *finally* get back to normal. The fact the last few years have seen a genuinely good distribution of cups and high league placings (and therefore prize money) is simply not relevant to too many sportswriters that have struggled to move on from a view of Scottish Football that is a decade past it's sell-by date. The fact that many (well run!) clubs have thrived in the absence of the broken bigger clubs should be something that is celebrated rather than wished away in return for going back to an imagined status quo. I think there are some really good sportswriters out there but the inability to deviate from the received wisdom/line-to-take seems every bit as bad as their colleagues on the politics desk. The only thing that does really annoy me in the Jackson piece is the cringing notion that because someone down south might see a small ground or one with gaps where a real team would have a stand somehow makes those clubs responsible for the shite commercial terms that were secured for broadcast rights. The Record has, for as long as I've been around, alternated between denigrating and utterly ignoring non-OF football in Scotland (and non-city clubs especially) - so it seems a bit rich now to complain about the way others perceive "the product" (blech). If there is one model that I never want to see Scottish football follow again, it is the TV money funded insanity that's in place down south.

I'll just find him on twitter and call him a c**t

Daily Record have picked up the Mandron story Confirmation that they read the P&B forums

Not believing this until his top fan boys, Bennett and Tedi confirm it.

Why is Livingston in the Championship North when we are more southern than East Stirlingshire. Also Stenhousemuir are in the North with us. Even though Stenhousemuir and East Stirlingshire share the same ground. Whoever wrote that is a stupid c***.

Hibs - Not in the Premiership because they are not good enough. Hearts - Relegated because of financial mis-management and because they weren't good enough to overcome their points deduction. Rangers - Not in the Premiership because they were liquidated and had to start from scratch. Phoenix club not good enough to win a play-off against a dreadful Motherwell side. Dundee Utd - About to drop out of the Premiership because they are the worst team in it by quite some distance. Someone will need to explain why shoehorning any of these sides into the top-flight would help our game. Could you imagine if Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal all dropped out of the English Premier, all within a few seasons of each other? The English press would be telling the world how competitive and cut-throat their league is. Up here, it's the complete opposite. With the likes of Keith Jackson given prominent roles within the media, it's a race to the bottom. Thank f**k for the good people of P&B.

This is a pity. Will always remember the Raith cameo, best sub performance ever. Aitken has to sign a right sided player now as Gallagher just doesn't offer enough.

Not only did Miller back off once he looked it over, d and P were only selling to one person and I'm sure it was reported that miller wanted certain guarantees from the SPL over SPL football but you apparently know better.....

You do have to admire their indefatigably however misplaced it is. I can't imagine what it's like to be a yin and show this commitment to another team.

Interesting and loquacious as always. How's the view from the bucket of sand your head is stuck in?

To be fair, Sky market the OF game for everything other than the football (picture a cliched opening montage: Wagners's Ride of the Valkyries, Ibrox/Parkhead with thunder clouds, then footage of 6 crunching tackles interspersed with shots of rednecks with King Billy tattoos/tricolour sunglasses/monobrows - maybe a grotesque housewife hanging out a slum window near the ground waving a union jack, etc) - so maybe that is precisely what they will pay more for - a sectarian safari for English viewers jaded with normal EPL fare....

Gordon Parks ‏@Parksy327 5m5 minutes ago Sorry folks, that's the last time I leave laptop unguarded in office Awwwwwwww Everything that occurred between 2001 (and for and indeterminate period prior to then (DOS)) and 2012 was a lie, achieved through cheating. Everything that occurred thereafter was the result of a fraud. Back down the snake to the Lowland league with you.

I believe they replaced Rangers back in 2012.

Going well so far thanks Still got 5 supervised shifts then I go it alone. Can see it being a job where I'll have days I'll want to pack it in due to dickhead passengers but on the flipside I can see there being a good few laughs as well. The majority of passengers have been spot on so far and there's definitely potential for a good laugh with them which will counterattack the shitier days hopefully

Great Gatsby (2013): 3/10. Almost three years late, but I have finally got round to watching it. As I feared beforehand, Luhrmann paid little respect to the subtleties and nuance central to the success of the novel - and Jay Gatsby's character. It was bizarre and unnecessary to frame Nick as a recovering alcoholic. Jordan Baker is vastly underused, and I was left wondering why she was included in the film given the lack of respect paid to the nature of her relationship with Nick. Tom's affair with Myrtle was executed poorly, the party scenes are bland, and the editing is weak. Having said that, individually I thought DiCaprio was excellent as Jay. Carey Mulligan was passable as Daisy and Joel Edgerton likewise as Tom. Tobey Maguire was underwhelming as Nick. It's always going to be difficult to please everybody and appeal to a contemporary audience when adapting such a renowned work, but I would have preferred Luhrmann to at least attempt retaining the spirit of the novel. I won't be rushing to watch it again.

Due to a few folk I know taking the piss on it, I came across a FB page that's mainly used for selling knives by the biggest tramps imaginable Todo had a bit of a meltdown a couple of days ago due to some people not taking him entirely seriously and thus deleted (and reposted) his green knife.

Best performance from an Alloa player this season for me was Duffy in our win at Almondvale. He was brilliant that day!

Classic example of a post/tweet that is actually pretty nice and agreeable until it becomes shared a million times and you end up wanting to set the poster on fire. If you saw this post before anyone else you'd like it - but seeing it after the hype changes it immensely.

Hello in here

Fireworks are brilliant and animals are shit

Rangers going into administration, and the fans immediately began rallying behind the club. First game post-admin arrived and Ibrox was sold out, the 'folk songs' were being sung at the top of their lungs, and protests were ongoing outside the gates. The primary school pupils in their support got creative during 'free play', and with some help from the Green Brigade friends banners were made to proclaim that they wouldn't let anything happen to the club they all love. Finally, the teams emerged to a crescendo of noise. "There will only be one winner" they guffawed . "The crowd will inspire the team" they claimed.

Ironically Juventus, one of the establishment teams in Italy that everyone else hates, were demoted to Serie B for various acts of skulduggery but have managed to reassert themselves back at the top of Serie A. Unlike Rangers, who will never reach the heights they believe to be their rightful place. Oh, and Rangers weren't demoted. They died. Sorry, not a good comparison at all really, now I think about it.
