Piehutt

Also - remember years ago my mum got a new car and was working nightshift. She kept coming in moaning that the clock was broke, and could I look at it. It's always at 1025, can you set it for me etc etc. Didn't really bother but one time she was giving me a lift somewhere and pointed it out. 'Look - 1025 the clock says' she points out. 'Mum, you're listening to Radio Clyde which is 102.5 FM! That's no the time!?!?'

Was once out for a drive with an old girlfriend. Went over the Erskine bridge and down to Balloch. 'There's Loch Lomond' I pointed out, helpfully. 'No, is that not miles away?' She asked. 'Nope, that's definately it there' 'Really?' she asked 'So that's where the Loch Ness monster is?' I hesitated... looked round at her to see if she was joking. 'No... that would be Loch NESS.' Think I had to stop the car to roll about laughing for 5 minutes.

assume this will be at 9.30 again?

Yep - I'm in. Sorry - been away this weekend so not been online. Ta

Really disappointing to see Muzza lose to Wawvrinka. Another one slips by. However given the scheduling - I don't think victory was all that likely for Murray this week, even if he had got to the business end of the event. He was totally screwed starting on Wed, when others in the draw had started from Monday giving them a full 2 days more to play their 7 matches. Especially with the Sat Semi and Sunday final that the US Open have, totally knocking the credibility of the event. So to Australia...

I would also be happy with playing at Scotstoun, for similar reasons. Even trying to get another game organised? Say for a thursday night? I don't mind 7s, but there is a lot more running about for less of the ball.

I'm in for next week too. Did we get the 9pm time booked?

Aye do this! Half 8 would be good, but 9 is def fine.

Any more folk playing? 3-a-side does have a certain appeal, but doesn't make sense financially.

Enjoyed that last night. Def count me in for next week.

Cheers, My name is Grant, but also answer to 'piehutt' and 'haw you!'

Can I just check some details? Venue - Powerleague, Kennedy Street, G4 0PQ? Time - 9pm? Surface - Outdoors, Astro? Cost - About a fiver? Shin Guards - Hope not? Pitch - Let me know as I won't know anyone. I'll wear my magnificent flourescent yellow Morton away top from the 90's. I'm sure no one else will have this.

I would like to play, if there are spaces available. Let me know via pm. Should be able to play every week.

What an absolute joke of themselves the SFL have made. Ok... Livingston are hardly in a great position but with only a few days to go before the start of the season the League should have just assumed we had already played a game in this season. Hence a points deduction is the only sensible and sane sanction!! What kind of precedent are the league setting! They could ask all member clubs to find that kind of money at 3 days notice and I bet not one club could stump up the cash. I reckon in the future the league will not continue with this precedent when they realise in the cold light of day how much they have shafted one club and caused a total mess for all other clubs. Why are division 1 clubs more important than division 3 clubs? One member one vote. We can't risk division 1 clubs losing out on fixtures, but division 3? Pah... we don't care about them. What a total farce of an organisation the SFL are. Making up the rules as they go along... as per usual.

Sorry to all the Livy fans. Not nice to see a club being run down by a muppet like this. Obviously to a lot of provicial football fans Livy were always a bit of a franchise club. Came into a bit of cash, bought their way through the leagues and despite a good bit of success, never harnassed the hard core support that other problem clubs had (PT, Falkirk, St Mirren, Morton etc). Ultimately when these clubs had trouble (self inflcited or not), they had a big enough support to keep things ticking over and crucially find a wealthy fan or consortium who was able to buy the club. Also, I guess the timing of this couldn't have been worse with 18 months of recession I guess the chances of a wealthy fan having shedloads of cash to throw at a 'hobby' is even lower.

Fantastic viewing last night. That was total Hollywood Tennis! Nadal should be a step too far, but looking forward to it at any rate.

That is a real shocker. They are making an example of him, and I think many more bans will take place over this issue if they really are clamping down on it. However... would be funny if they kept their slow over rate up and Peitersen got banned!!
