But what about any boffins that wear size 12 shoes?

Hibsed it.

It's second top v second bottom with both teams on 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in their last five games. Arguably Peterhead might be on a bit of a form dip so a settled and fully fit Forfar squad could take all three points today. Although as we've seen this season, who'd bet on that? Would love to see the front men hitting top form as well as the back of the net today.

I'm not sure who would be the more stupid here - Scottish voters believing this or Sarwar for saying it. Scotland will be at the heart of the next UK government if Labour are elected, Anas Sarwar has said.

Keep it for tomorrow - Pancake Ash Wednesday.

This is what he really means, of course.

Nice one, Tom.

I think you'll find Rees-Mogg has put quill to parchment on that very subject and will publish it as soon as the pounce has dried the ink.

The Conservative peer Michelle Mone assured the government that she was not entitled to “any financial benefit whatsoever” from a PPE company, five months before £29m of its profits were transferred into a trust for her benefit. Guardian.

Big story on STV website: Members of the public are being urged to use an umbrella to protect themselves from dive bombing seagulls. New guidance issued by NatureScot has urged employers and property owners to provide suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to mitigate against seagull attacks. Can't be long until the guidance includes the 'danger to life' warning.

Don't tell him you're deid, Pike.

Well, not a brilliant game but not as bad as I'd feared. At times Spartans looked like Forfar a month or so ago - plenty midfield, nothing moving up front and woeful when they did go forward, apart from their final fling. Forfar definitely improving although with Brindley scoring it'll be Marc on the score sheet next. If the guys bearing down on goal get rid of the 'rabbit caught in headlights' habit and start burying the several cracking chances on offer today I'll be happy. Ah, Rusty, keep yer mooth shut and just get on with things, you'll not make the ref change his mind. A stupid yellow card. Matty Allan was excellent today with great tackles and fine passing. Will we all eat our words when this team gels further? Dunno, but is this team moving forward? I'd like to think so.

It's third placed Spartans playing a poor Forfar team struggling to find a winning formula. Will today be the day Forfar finally find consistency or will Spartans prove to be too strong? Will Forfar play the long, high ball to the Mart roof or find some crisp forward passing? Be nice to see a convincing Forfar win today.

It's usually good to hear of youngsters getting a chance to gain experience and I wish Finlay all the best but I'd rather see it happening from a Forfar position of strength - we're languishing near the bottom of the league. I'd have thought a stronger presence with experience is what's needed. I'm struggling to understand this loan. Talking of strength, I saw Seb bouncing off two very strong defenders standing their ground at the Stenny game, as just one example, and I'm not sure a youngster will do any better (but I'll be delighted if Finlay proves me wrong).

You sure about that?

No, you're offering an idea of what you might like to happen (from Lab, I assume) after any independence, and an anti-SNP hit. Independence would come about by, I'd imagine, the same route as the last one - Should Scotland be an Independent Country: Yes or No. So either/or, no shades. Even if there is a section of Labour who believe in independence, there's no chance of pro-Union Sir Keith getting within a million miles of offering Scotland this option. Well, maybe after they abolish the House of Lords, right enough.

Are there different shades of independence?

Maybe the watching of the player, reports from his club and the like has all been done and the training session is to see if the player and squad is a 'fit'. Dunno, just a thought. It can't be decided on a player just rocking up at a training session, can it? Mind you, if that is the case I might trot along.

Thought the head tennis in the first half was quite good. But swirling wind with gusts should really have seen more long, hopeful balls. All in all maybe peak Forfar.

Well, nothing screams "integrity" like telling a fitba forum about the direction of travel of an academic institution, right enough.
