Just this:

Not even close - this is, was and always will be a gloat fest and it peaked this afternoon. Sporting Wingers Fuckin' roon ye!

I'm pretty awful at cross training. Do some core work, but not as regularly as I should; and I use the bike, but mainly as a commute to parkruns (6miles either way). Sounds like parkrun was mainly a success - another stonking week, true_rover, and hats off to you Chris. Bishy; just one of those days? Brighton marathon today: nailed it. 3:09:21, an 11 minute PB. Set off an 3:05 pace but backed off at 25k when I knew it was gone. I'm sunburnt to France. First half is lumpy rather than hilly, second half is basically flat. Decentt course with a few irritating out-and-backs. Still totally cheesing and boozing up at Gatwick now.

I don't expect any of our players to be Thistle supporters. I also don't any of them to openly post shite like watp on social media.

P&B's two most obsessed over teams in a Scottish Cup final. The server's going to be under more pressure than Conrad Logan's Under Armour.

3 pts probably.

The Albion Band : Gresford Disaster

Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941

As a native Herefordian and passionate Bulls fan it amazes me that in our first year as a new club we're in a position to possibly do the quadruple (League, Vase, Herefordshire cup and Midlands cup). Our win yesterday means we will be playing at Wembley against Morpeth in the FA Vase final. In all my years as a Hereford United (RIP) I never thought I would see us play there. I'm absolutely ecstatic.

Traveling to places like Elgin and Annan and seeing us get beat makes days like this even more worthwhile. So happy for everyone involved with east Fife at the moment as you can see how much it means to them. Their are many photos and videos of us celebrating but this is my favourite photo! Big respect to him for this photo, dedicating the league 2 title to his dad!! Gary, a man who has faced many challenges, put under a lot of pressure, building a team with a low budget, fans calling for him to be sacked, players not performing to their ability etc. This honest, passionate guy, has pulled through and got us back to league 1! Winning a title is a great achievement at any age, but at 37, 2nd full season In charge, is even better. The board have stuck by him, and now the fans are starting to see why! "Good things come to those who wait" MON THE FIFE!!!

He got a hard time last season as well - it's nothing to do with Ward, and everything to do with him being a limp-wristed fairy.

So in a weird twist of fate the rest of Scottish Football are relying on Hibs to beat Rangers in the cup final, what could go wrong . I feel really bad for posting the Vince McMahon gif nabbed from Kickback . If Hibs win this pie and bovril should promise never to use that phrase in a negative way ever again.

That advert on TV (Duet chocolate bar I think) where the female singer is singing Moon River and then some bloke joins in with a rap version. I would deliberately not buy one of the chocolate bars just because of this advert, delicious as they may be.

Back after my split New York/Vegas honeymoon and I must say, New York is a fantastic city. It was pretty cold whilst we were there and it was quite windy which made it even colder but it was dry and really sunny on most days. Things that were brilliant - Ice Hockey - Went to see the New York Rangers play Tampa Bay Lightning at Madison Square Gardens. The atmosphere, the facilities and the whole experience was brilliant. Yet again an example of actually providing fans with entertainment, good food, beer and an occasion that we sorely lack in this country at the football. Big Red Bus New York - First morning my wife convinced me to go on this and initially I wasn't convinced mainly down to me never really getting the whole tour bus idea. I must admit though it was really, really good (if a bit cold on top of the bus). The tour guide was informative and it took us through the main sights in downtown Manhattan (there's the Uptown tour too). It was just a really great way to see the city and there is plenty to see! 9/11 Memorial and Museum - The memorial is quite something to see but the museum itself is absolutely brutal but fascinating. It pulls no punches and isn't overly 'yeeha America'. Central Park - Just a great place to go and walk around. The thing that I found amazing was the mixture of the greenery and then the city skyline surrounding it. As you walk through it you can forget you are in the middle of this vast city but then you look up and see all the skyscrapers. Talking of views... Top of the Rock - Bought tickets to this to go early in the morning and it was totally worth it. Amazing views of the city and much better than the Empire State. Ellis Island - The Statue of Liberty is okay, worth seeing but the real attraction for the boat trip to me was the excellent Ellis Island museum. Really interesting and I managed to find the records to a couple of family members in the search facility they have. Brooklyn Bridge - Got the Subway to Brooklyn so we could have a walk round and then walk across the bridge. Great views of Manhattan and Brooklyn is interesting. The bridge gets busy but we timed it well and got over quite easily amongst the crowds. Club A Steakhouse - Hands down the best Ribeye Steak I have ever had. Service was brilliant and the atmosphere was top notch in this small but very friendly restaurant. They treated us to an additional free starter and free dessert, plus the manager was really good at coming over and asking us questions and chatting to us about our visit. If you go to New York and like steak you must, must visit this place. Other worthy mentions...Yankee Stadium. I enjoy the baseball when I'm in the States and I liked this but we were bitterly cold so it wasn't as enjoyable as I would have liked. Glad we went though. Natural History Museum. The museum itself is pretty good but the planetarium they have is brilliant and the show we watched about deep space was excellent. The High Line. Again the weather meant it was a bit cold but this park built on a freight track above ground is a really enjoyable walk and I would recommend it. At the end of the High Line is the superb Chelsea Market. A building with lots of character, really well put together with loads of food for sale and a couple of flee market style sections. Wicked. I don't do musicals but I must admit this was very, very good. The talent on show is amazing and the voices/performances of the lead actresses was pretty breathtaking. Grand Central, very impressive building and good food in the court below the main level. Times Square, good to see if a bit chaotic. I would recommend the Hilton Club West 57th Street for a hotel if you want something right in the middle of Manhattan within walking distance of almost everything. Good hotel with decent service, it is a good standard but is a bit basic in terms of amenities (you shouldn't really care with so much around you). It wasn't fault free though. The main gripe was, for me, the amount of people trying to sell you stuff. Everywhere you went there are constant groups of ticket sellers and merchandise sellers trying to spot you and approach you. You get it lots of places but I found it pretty constant in New York and very, very frustrating. All in all a great place to visit, especially if you like walking and exploring (plus the street layout makes everything ridiculously easy to find).

Jog Scotland got me started, ArabGaz. There was a great group here for a while that had loads of members. Lots of us have now moved on to other clubs, but the group is still going strong. Would thoroughly recommend.

Nope, but I have done their Jog Leader course so I can take sessions and, based on that, I think that it could be useful.

Can't wait for him to tweet a screenshot of his successful bets on the game today.

Congrats buddy. Glad to hear it's going so well. My Wee cracker is 7 months now.

Dow hasn't. How does Deeboy know? Deeboy fingered his missus last night.

Steeleye Span - Black Leg Miner

Decent coverage of the Renfrewshire Derby, so fair play to them. Scott Davie, Tam McManus and Andy Ritchie were top notch.

Whoever wins, we all lose.

The petty arguments on this thread is gripping reading but I'm going to change the subject, sorry lads. With us basically in the Play-offs and Stranraer all but guaranteed 4th in League 1. Do we fancy our chances? And if we do get through I take it we are all wanting Ayr United, especially if you going to the game. Don't fancy Peterhead on a Wednesday night. I'm confident we will beat those three teams over two legs but you never know, it is Livi after all.

P&B's two favourite teams for the Scottish Cup. The seethe is going to be nuclear no matter who wins.

Congratulations to Rangers on lifting your first Scottish Cup. Warburton surely Manager of the Year now. Commiserations to Hibs, and fingers crossed for next year.

Last time we played Rangers at Hampden.

That they're mostly all decent teams, but there's only so much they can do when all their budgets combined are probably still less than that of Celtic.

Gary Naysmith is an absolute class act as a player and a manager.

Very well said Wee Jockie. Extremely likeable manager who speaks honestly after every game, win, lose or draw. He will go on to bigger and better things, hopefully later rather than sooner but a credit to the club

Really believe Gary deserves praise. It is obvious that his players have enormous respect for him and he has always conducted himself with such dignity. Abd we have a huge lesson to learn. Pick your manager very carefully and then have confidence in him. We have hired and fired in the past and got nowhere.

The Man Don't Give A f**k is a great place to start, then you've got Rings Around The World, Juxtaposed With You, Do Or Die, Ice Hockey Hair, Herman Loves Pauline and Slow Life. I'd imagine most of those will get played. Hopefully they'll get a decent crowd because they never disappoint.

Come on now Simon, that's just a ridiculous thing to come away with. Clyde have never been top of League 2 this season.

Just had a wee look there, and if we win either of our final two games, then we'll have reached a higher points total than the season where we finished 2nd to the Pars. Well done to the players, the manager and backroom staff, and especially the board on this. It's been a fantastic season, and we can look forward to enjoying the playoffs with no pressure or expectations on us.

So I've not been able to update recently as my laptop (which was on it's last legs) finally gave up the fight and took the hard drive with it. And guess who didn't sync save game data up with Stream..... The season wasn't going so well tbh and I fear a sacking was on the cards. My confidence rating had dipped below 40% for the first time and I was having issues with squad moral. A straight run of 18 games without wining any of them wasn't helping. So thats me..... But I'll start again with the new PC which I had been building over the last week or so (timing sucks), with a recovery story better than Rangers stratospheric rise through the leagues...... .........it just may take a while.

If it was anything like the time I christened it, I could put it on Vine.

There's no tick-box on my paycheque marked "Would you like to pay tax on your income, Yes/No". No reason why there should be for rich-as-hell footballers, either. I say Go Get 'Em, Hector. Get the lot of them.

Also why has dull ken got a Russ Abbot avatar?

He'd be a pish signing.

Weighed myself this morning. 17lbs weight gain in 8 days 😢 brutal.

Took my wee one hillwalking (a miniature form, walking over a huge hill in the middle of town near my house) recently and he got on great guns. Had taken yesterday off work to get some stuff done and had the day at home, about 11am I asked him if he fancied going out for a walk to get some fresh air and he says "want to climb big mountain", so we put our wellies and raincoats on and climbed it again, then spent an hour walking all round finding muddy puddles to jump in. Was the best Wednesday I've had in a while.

381 this morning so 4lb gone for the week giving a total weight loss of 10lbs

Do me a favour if you would and elaborate.Likely nobody else gives a damn about what you think and I apologise in advance to my fellow P&Bers for inviting you to add even more vacuous nonsense to this thread but I just want you to clarify for me what votes I have made based on supporting Rangers. I'm pretty sure he'll be unable to answer btw folks and is just posting the usual default, brain dead, diddy pish but it's in my nature to give people the benefit of any doubt. And furthermore even if I am a monarchy loving, anti-EU, British nationalist, it's a perfectly legitimate political position to hold and YOU are showing, that while many Scot Nats are harmless clowns, quite a few others are nasty, sinister, cranks.

Where are you getting this infor Bennett? I really hope its not from a blog.

Surely you're not suggesting Oor Vick has been getting his info from anything other than reputable, watertight sources? Hell, he probably even authored the Panama Papers himself. He certainly doesn't just repeat stuff he's read on Twitter or some blog without any credibility. Lord no. If it's not a watertight source the guy is simply not interested. And he certainly won't just avoid your question or give some vague answer. You'll get your source and you'll get it tonight.

Looking forward to 50/50 ticket split seethe
