topcat(The most tip top)

For example St Mirren’s chances of finishing 3rd are still alive but are now dependent on getting a better result against Celtic than Hearts get against Livingston on the Other hand while a St Mirren defeat would confirm Hearts in the top four it would also see the end of our title hopes

Manchester United winning this and then losing next week in Bournemouth is the ideal option

Time for @VincentGuerinto illustrate these points

After todays result a defeat for Dundee on Wednesday would see Hearts title hopes officially ended Just one more reason for Hibees to get behind the Kings XI

Has anybody analysed the whole home and away fixture situation after the split i think we’re due two home games and we’ve only hosted St Mirren and Rangers once each but if Dundee make the cut they’re due a trip to Tynecastle as well

Arsenal moved north of the river 111 years ago and are still occasionally getting grief about it

I don’t think Rangers are going to lose to Dundee on Wednesday either but the BBC should probably acknowledge the possibility

First things first Hibs fans will need to cheer Rangers to take points off Dundee or it doesn’t matter

God Bless you Uncle Craig

Sometimes it happens in March, sometimes in April, sometimes on the final day, Sometimes it's a footnote, sometimes it's the only consolation in tough times occasionally it's cancelled but it's here today Happy "Finishing above Hibs Day" everybody

Presumably you'll get hit with a points penalty to overcome a 15 point penalty to avoid the drop you'll need to have the kind of season that would otherwise see you 6th or 7th. This is more difficult because all your best players can leave for nothing but on the other hand you can also get rid of a lot of dead wood Luckily given that the administration isn't tangled up in the collapse of an international banking group it should hopefully be sorted out quickly and you won't have to field the Under 21s all season like Hearts did Of course given that the sporting penalties destroy value that could be used to compensate the creditors there's an incentive on all parties to achieve a restructuring that achieves the same thing without official administration.

It's easy to criticise the people of Livingston for leaving Livingston to watch football elsewhere on a Saturday but to be fair have you ever been to Livingston? Any excuse to get out of town is going look attractive

HITC sevens touches on this and uses Grealish's heat maps to illustrate his more general case that top teams are now so strictly choreographed and scripted that the game has become more predictable and less entertaining, not so much in terms of results way as in the way the game is actually played The Grealish bit starts at 13:00

Legal breakdown of the case Posting partly because it might be interesting but mainly because of the "Diddy Do It?" pun in the title

A six year run is all well and good but it was probably about time anyway that you stepped down and let someone else have a go

It's subjective and you're welcome to your opinion Gauss wasn't bad But I'm sticking with Marlene

I looked into the St Louis games and apparently 1904 was the last year you could enter a mixed team for team events. The Mens Gymnastics was won by five Americans and an Austrian The Tug of War went to four Americans and a German In Paris 1900 the cricket final was won by Devon and Somerset Wanderers against the French Athletic Club Union who fielded 9 British players and three frenchmen that was the only cricket match in olympic history The idea of there even being a "Team GB" (as we'd think of it now) in 1904 is a bit of an anachronism never mind whether Tom Kiely was part of one

It's uncertain whether they technically ever really were but the mayor of Berwick met a Pravda journalist and declared an end to hostilities assuring that the people of Russia could finally sleep safely in their bed In sports terms it is in a limbo state with Football clubs in both pyramids and a rugby club which is simultaneously a member of both the RFU and SRU

We could just change the team name with the tide surely You've also missed out all the Overseas Territories who are covered by the BOA You owe an apology to Gibraltarian Rhythmic Gymnast Georgina Cassar and Delano Williams The sprinter from Turks and Caicos

What about Lindisfarne

The code changed from GRB to GBI for the Tokyo Olympics in '64 but we moved on to GBR for Mexico City '68 GBN is available as an IOC code. Gabon use GAB but might still have an issue. Things are complicated by the fact that Irish Olympic Committee have been recognised as an all Ireland body by the IOC since granting them their initial charter in 1922. Arguably this arrangement probably should have been refined for the 1924 games in Paris to reflect the final score in the Irish civil war but seemingly nobody was up for that argument back then and it's technically still Northern Irish athletes on team GB that are the "splitters" But that's politely ignored to save trouble which means that if you're from Northern Ireland you can choose. If you're good at rowing you can join the world class "British" programme in your sport but if your a boxer you're probably better off being "Irish" The exceptions are sports where there is an existing all Ireland team like Rugby 7s and Hockey where Team GB actually is what it says on the tin (although I suppose Channel Islanders are a further complication). As for the team GB flag. It's just an attempt to make a copyrightable image that can be used on branded goods. The BOC don't make a penny on sales of normal union flags and those boats, javelins and goggles don't pay for themselves

Apologies brainfart ive deleted that bit to avoid confusion

A point against Hearts next week would be enough to see St Mirren in the top six and also end Hearts title campaign Even if Hearts win we’d still need a draw in the Old Firm game to keep our hopes alive
