Just to correct you on something you said. Malky has indeed owned up to his mistakes - if I remember correctly he paid to do a course to properly educate himself to avoid another debacle re the text messages etc.
Also don't forget that FA conducted a review, believe it took a yr to complete, and at end of it he wasn't charged with anything - believe that text messages were nit forthcoming from his accusers. He also told Wigan that if he was charged he'd resign and freely walk away to avoid backlash on them.
Also KickItOut applauded the fact he got the SFA position.
As for the Racism at Tannadice thing, Courts over reacted and Malky acted appropriately because he waited for Full investigation Whereas Courts jumped straight in and was ultimately proved to have been wrong. And no apology for his actions was ever forthcoming.
As I tell folk you support your club as players and managers come and go but club are eternal.
In 2014 Kick It Out were outraged he was appointed by Wigan. In 2015 they were outraged that he wasn't charged with anything. The FA could not charge him with anything as they did not have any rules regarding communication on private devices. Malky then did an unconscious bias course ran by them. He was then supported after that. At that point they couldn't say anything more or they would just be admitting that their racism courses etc have no material worth.
The non racism at Tannadice was mishandled badly by the club. All County/Malky had to say at the time that racism was abhorrent and that if anyone was found to have said anything, he could personally talk to them about their ignorance, as he was once guilty of it himself, and educate them. That no further comment would be made until the investigation was concluded. I am assuming that the club and not Malky chose to go down the route they did, so he went with the company line as that what he was paid to do.
The reaction to the racial abuse of Regan Charles-Cooke was considerably better handled and kudos to both Malky and the club for that.
All they had to do at the start was address the elephant in the room fully. They didn't and we are still talking about the same thing now.7 -
It isn’t necessarily what they have done, it is what they have done since it happened.
Mackay in his first press conference should have addressed what happened, taken responsibility what he did send, stated what he’s done since then.
Martindale has owned his previous criminality, has worked up from being a volunteer at Livi. He also gives talks on where he was, what lead him there, and how to avoid going down that path to local youth groups.

I have just about made it to 100% on my third run through. The last thing I have to do is visit Arthur’s grave, and I’m just not ready for that
The hunting missions were a lot easier this time, as every one of that shitey wee birds fly about the rundown fort if you wait about long enough.
The challenges that I found the most difficult was disarming three people in a row, and shooting three hats off in the one dead eye.
I eventually just went to the poker table in Saint Denis and shot the top hats off the mugs at the table. Until that point I attempted it several times in Van Horn and had to massacre the whole town each time I attempted it.

A fine game from Hibs’ Scottish Cup Winning superstar, Sir Brian of Graham
He was at County when you won the Scottish Cup.

The best hotel in Dingwall is the Tulloch Castle Hotel, but that’s at the top end of the town and a good 25-30 minute walk.
As suggested you’d be best avoiding the Waverley.

Has Andy Murray announced if he will be playing in the French?
He doesn’t need to announce it, his ranking gets him automatic enrolment into the tournament. He would need to announce a withdrawal.
He’ll be disappointed with his loss to Fognini, but Fognini followed that up with another great win today. Fognini is always a great watch, you just never know what Fognini you’ll get. The clown or the king.
Murray might even turn up in an event next week. The sole aim is to get seeded by Wimbledon.

Not too difficult to spot those that are there as neutrals, or friends of supporters who only turn up for the 'day out'. You see them at all big matches around the country, and can suck the fun from a metre-wide radius around them.
Worst case I ever saw was the Ross County v Dundee Utd Scottish Cup final. Very much 'bring anyone you can and throw something navy on them'. Nobody seemed to care.
Hands in pockets when your team scores the must-score goal 4 mins from the end of the season???
Still a great afternoon and overall support though
It was even more difficult for those in f us in the County end that day. Full of people I had never seen at a game before.
Roy McGregor have every global employee a ticket for it, hence the 20000 people.

Hearts may as well score another to give us our biggest even senior league defeat.

Arnur Gudjohnsen 73 Iceland Caps. Son Einar got 88.
It's likely a record will be held by a family from San Marino or some such small country
Not to forget Andri who made his 15th cap following his family lineage.
Was surprised Cesare Maldini only had 14 caps I had always assumed he had more.

I got this for the Xbox and I’m playing through it for the third time. I still love this game.
However today, I took a wander down to Shady Belle to take out the Lemoyne Raiders gang hide out. I forgot to take my weapons from my horse, so I only had two side arm revolvers. I got shot to shit, and needed to take a health cure. I took it, but it wasn’t really a health cure it was moon shine. I hadn’t realised until I took my third one, and I was in a gang war absolutely steaming.
Dead Eye didn’t work, your aim is like driving a shopping trolley, and I went through close to 200 bullets killing the eight or nine guys. The rest I killed by launching fire bottles. It was both hilarious and stressful as I had a legendary fish on my horse so couldn’t die without having to do it all again.
I’ve done this
on Ps5 with a further play through and here I am on the third play through discovering a new detail in the game.
My advice to all is don’t drink moonshine in a gang hideout. And definitely do not drink four bottles of it.

Good luck to Ketts, an utter legend of a player for us and the signings he made didn’t work out for us. Yogi Hughes managed to keep us up, so Ketts would have done also given a bit more time.
Hes already shown he can get a little bit more out of an under performing team.
My favourite Kettlewell story is when we dropped to the Championship, he seen that Vigurs was offered an extension by Caley but hadn’t signed. So he went round to his house and wouldn’t leave until he agreed to join County again.

That’s the 15th time in his career he’s saved match points on his way to victory. He’s lost six matches in his career from having match points. Three of them in 2012 in consecutive weeks to Jankowicz, Raonic and Djokovic.
He famously saved five match points in consecutive finals against Tommy Robredo.

Has anybody else tried to watch the Italy vs France Game on STV Player? The signal is shit even by the dodgy unofficial stream standards
I've had to turn on the VPN and watch france tv 2 on my phone
i would bin the STVplayer and use the ITVX app. Just use a random English postcode, the only one I know is Wimbledon (SW19) and the stability of the stream and quality is far better than the STV player. you would have thought they wouldn't be a difference but it is remarkably so.

Yip, be interesting to see how he gets on.
Raises questions about our scouting though, how we can sign such an obvious dud, who also appears to have an attitude problem.If only there was a viral video clip of him showing him to have the worst miss of all time to warn us.

If this was any previous manager Roy would fire him at full time on Saturday, and scramble for players on the Monday to turn this around. With either Chipper appointed as interim manager or he will fire up the Derek Adams klaxon. I fear he may be too invested in this appointment so the window will close without him being fired.

So shattered he didn’t even celebrate the break of serve.

THIS IS WHAT HE DOES

Murray is utterly spent, but his heart and will are still pulling him through this. Absolutely annihilated 6-1 and 4-2. Here he is 5-4 back on serve in the second set.

Bautista Agut is the kind of player Murray made absolute mincemeat out of at the peak of his powers, he's only ever lost to him in his "second wind" - if his body can recover I think his game is in the right place to deal with him.
He’s very similar to Murray in the fact he will just give you another ball to play. If Murray can serve as well as he has the past two matches, and still has enough in the tank to compete in the longer rallies, he’ll have a great chance.

He is also one of only two players to come back from two sets down in every slam. The other person to do it? Fabio Fognini.

I am pretty sure he just made history by being the first person to come back from two sets down eleven times.

I found the collecting side of things very tedious the first time I did it. But on this run through I was able to amass quite a lot of the collectibles just playing the game normally.
All the stuff for Algernon I picked up playing the game apart from a few of the flowers. Every time I saw a fancy bird I shot it and plucked it. So it wasn’t as much as a grind.
I got all the birds from one point on the map.
I did have great fun running up $250 dollars of bounty in each state, and hiding at a cabin north of Colter, and just dynamite arrowing the hound dogs and bounty hunters as they came down the pass. Had to survive three days, and just manually placed the humans in a big pile and the dogs in a big pile.
