As a member of SNP I am happy enough with Swinney as leader from those who had shown an interest. If that answers your question. Still a better option than any those leading the branch offices of the other parties.

They’re playing the Galaxy there next month. I’m down in Palo Alto for an afternoon next week so hoping to get up there for a look around. Heading to the Oakland Coliseum today to catch an Athletics game before they’re moved out of Oakland - which I believe is another venue that the Earthquakes have used in the past.
Was not aware the Quakes had played in Oakland. Been to a Raiders game there. Pretty run down then and guessing it will be worse now. Been to Stanford a few times and it’s a nice stadium and would suit a football game as stands close to the pitch. Back over in November and hoping to catch either Cal or Stanford if the make College play offs so can catch a game at the football venues.

San Jose Earthquakes 3-1 Los Angeles
Att: 43,374San Jose Earthquakes are celebrating the 50th anniversary this year of the founding of the original Earthquakes in the old NASL. There’s no George Best or Jimmy Johnstone nowadays but this was a decent enough, if sloppy, game in Silicon Valley. San Jose were worthy winners although LA put them under considerable pressure late on.
It’s the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo tomorrow and San Jose put on a big show with everything from skydivers to Mexican music to lucha libre wrestling. They also, ambitiously, decided to move the game to the 68,500 capacity Levis Stadium of the local NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers (which is in Santa Clara, just the 30 miles from the 49ers old ground in San Francisco itself). Very skeptical of the announced attendance but there was a decent crowd and a decent atmosphere. LA brought a considerable away support too, which isn’t something you usually see in MLS. Baltic though.
In past Quakes used to play games against the LA teams at Stanford Stadium just up the road from Levi which has a 50,000 capacity so not an unusual thing for them to move to a bigger venue.

Today’s Haddington Athletic v Jeanfield Swifts programme. Decent programme for £2.

Haddington Athletic 1-2 Jeanfield Swifts. 8th against 4th in East of Scotland Premier League. Haddington scored quickest goal I have seen in about 30 seconds with a tap in following an error by Jeanfield keeper. Jeanfield equalised not long after through another goalkeeping error. Jeanfield’s winner was complete opposite of first two goals come from a great passing move. Entertaining game with both sides creating some decent chances. Great set up at Millfield and cracking steak pie.

Leith Athletic 6-0 Lochore Welfare. Too nice a night to sit in so headed over to Meadowbank to watch the East of Scotland 1st division game between teams is 10th and 13th respectively. Comfortable victory for Leith with Lochore not helped by one of their players having a couple of goes at getting himself sent off by booting Leith players off the ball before being successful.

What's going on in this photo.
Was a free kick for Montrose near the end of the game. Montrose keeper had come up for it and dived just as I took picture.

Edinburgh City 1-0 Montrose in league 1. Original game was abandoned due to high winds and Montrose were probably hoping for high winds to return to get this abandoned as well as they played poorly tonight and never really troubled City who played well and deserved their win. City Ultras were not allowed into ground tonight due to noise complaints so instead moved to the waste ground closer to the houses who complained.

Last nights Hutchison Vale v Dunbar United programme.

Hutchinson Vale 2-3 Dunbar United. 3rd against 6th in the East Scotland Premier League. This was plan C tonight after games at Burntisland and Civil Service were called off. End to end game with both teams trying to play football despite the miserable weather. Not sure Dunbar’s second was not offside but was a really tight call. First time sitting in new stand at Ainslie Park and view was better than I expected with floodlight not blocking view as much as I thought it would.

Tonight’s East of Scotland Cup Final programme. Good value at £2.

Edinburgh City 0-1 University of Stirling East of Scotland Cup Final. Entertaining game played in front of decent crowd on a horrible night weather wise. Surprised there was only one goal in it as both keepers made a number good saves and both sides missed a couple of sitters each.

Musselburgh Ath 1-0 Jeanfield Swifts. 2nd v 3rd in East of Scotland Premier league. First half was end to end with both teams creating decent chances. Musselburgh goal was a bit of a scrambled effort. Second half was not as good as game got a bit scrappy with a few fouls. Wind picking up probably didn’t help the standard of football. Win moves Musselburgh to 9 points behind leaders Broxburn with a game in hand.

Spartans 2-6 Dumbarton. 3rd v 4th in league 2. Thumping win for Dumbarton against a Spartans side who played well below their usual standards. Three great free kicks in the game two for Dumbarton and 1 for Spartans. Spartans must be sick of the sight of me as they have lost every one of their league games I have attended. Spartans have now added an electronic score board .

Cormack hired them.
They've concluded that there's a strong positive correlation between high peformance and reduced structural verticality and that synergies can be achieved across silos by rationalising functionality. In summary:
Misssion>Stakeholder engagement > organisational excellence > Dave to take training, pick team and play up front.
That will be £75k please
Bit in bold is pretty much what last two consultant lead reviews the company I work for have opened with.

By default. Falkirk not having a 10k seater stadium saved you in 2000. Reached both cup finals that year as well.

Edinburgh Uni 0-2 Cowdenbeath. Far closer game than I was expecting. Both teams playing some nice football at times in a really entertaining game. Uni did not look like a team that have only won once all season. Coffee and Walnut cake was amazing.

Spartans 2-1 Peterhead League 1 play off semi final 1st leg. Peterhead will be wondering how they managed to lose that. Better team by far but just could not get 2nd their play deserved. Not sure what the penalty was awarded for as was up the other end and from what was said at the end I don’t think many of players were aware either. Decent crowd in with a fair number down from Peterhead. No programme was only disappointing thing.
