And there's what's wrong with Scottish football - what I hoped was a balanced post, and I'm a closet bun .

And as for Forfar lying down...

League Cup Semi Final 1977-78.................2-1 up with 7 minutes to go, and needed extra-time to be beaten

Scottish Cup Semi Final 1981-1982............they needed a dodgy decision and a replay to stop us knocking them out

Scottish Cup 1982-83..................................1-0 up at half-time at Ibrox before losing 2-1

Skol Cup 1986-87........................................they needed penalties to beat us

I appreciate that they have stuffed us a few times since, but not many "diddy" teams have been that close that often to beating them.

Ignore him - an earlier classic was Albion Rovers were Celtic's lapdogs at the SFA for years. Nothing to back it up, just spouting shite.

I'm not the least bit surprised at Albion Rovers, who have sold their votes by proxy to whatever Celtic want them to do since the year dot

And you know this how?

No news on the case to get the Ticketus £24m written off? Thougt that was happening yesterday?

Be the first thing these shysters have expedited since they arrived!

The Reversal - Michael Connelly

I always enjoy Connelly, and this is no exception. It features both the Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller characters fairly equally which is unusual.

Definitely worth a read.

It was OK - kindof Diet Harlan Coben.

Good description of Barclay - his books are a decent read all the same.

Stephen Leather - Nightfall.

Picked this up from the library as his stuff is usually decent - mistake!

Utter tosh from start to finish - one of those I stuck with in the vain hope it would improve. Even worse, it finishes with the clear option for a sequel.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this like the plague.

Just finished True Blue by David Baldacci. Have to say I feel he's in a bit of a rut now - this one just fizzled out at the end for me. Not a bad read, but not a patch on his earlier stuff.

Also recently finished Conn Iggulden's Bones of the Hills - the last of the Genghis Khan trilogy. Enjoyed that, although it seemed a long time since I read the previous one and I struggled to place some of the characters initially.

The trilogy is a decent read if you like historical faction.

I'd recommend John Connolly. Maine noir. Excellent.

Thanks for that - I've read a few of his, not long finished The Reapers actually.

Just found this thread yesterday - browsed back a fair few pagers and I've made a note of quite a few authors I haven't tried yet. Always a bonus.

I'm finishing the last few chapters now of The Gate House by Nelson DeMille, the sequel to The Gold Coast from a few years ago. Not bad, but lacks the depth of some of his others like Plum Island and The General's Daughter.

My normal reading tends to be books by Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, John Sandford, Michael Crais, etc., so if anyone knows of other authors in a similar vein I'd be interested.
