Jordan Speith likes the look of it. A lot. [emoji23]

Oosthuizen and Niemann the two folk fortunate/unfortunate to be lined up alongside Tiger Woods.

Bob's tee times.

One thing that always stuns me about Augusta is how cheap the onsite food and drink is compared to other sporting events.

That was much more like the Arsenal we are used to. I'll be stunned if Xhaka doesn’t get a yellow for putting Ayew up in the air.

Saw it this morning, very surprised at Pogacar getting blocked off the way he did. Definitely a brain fart for someone of his experience.

It's also worth remembering that a mass shooting is where 4 or more people (including the shooter) are killed or injured, so a story like the one below doesn't even register in the stats. https://abc7chicago.com/ford-city-shooting-chicago-police/11706171/

They managed to get through all of 2021 without any incidents at places of worship, there were 3 on educational establishments. Last years total was 689 incidents, with 702 killed and 2823 injured. That's 12-13 incidents per week, it's fucking bonkers. Illinois was way out in front in the number of shootings by state charts in 2021.

Sadly, it's not utterly ridiculous, it's probably just about even par. Stats for the year to the end of March below.

8 for Monday, country and author wrong.

Phuk that.

The SJFA had proposed an all in national non league cup, but teams in the north weren't interested. They are apparently submitting a revised proposal, but I have no idea what that is.

As one tweet cruelly put it, Pogacar ended up 4th in a two horse race.

I wouldn't have bet stolen money on us after 9 games when we had only won 4 matches, and were shipping lots of cheap goals and not scoring enough of the chances we were making. Fair play to Lauchy though, he ditched the strikers that weren't doing what he wanted and stuck Ronan Sweeney and Stephen Docherty through the middle, and they have managed 55 goals between them, 39 of them in the league. Ronan has missed the last month or so through injury, and it has allowed Doc to get himself clear as top scorer. He also settled on a centre back pairing of Ross McCabe and Craig McGregor which tightened the defence up no end. Because we had decent runs in the Scottish Junior and South Challenge Cups we've always been playing catch up, Drumchapel have always had a gap over us although we had games in hand. It wasn't until be beat them in January that matters were in our own hands again. After 9 games we had 15 points, then went on a club record run of 17 straight league wins which ended in dramatic fashion yesterday at Wishaw. Whatever happens on Saturday, I've enjoyed the season immensely. We've played a lot of good football, scored a lot of goals, and the best bit of all is playing teams and visiting grounds that I haven't been to for years.

Decent -3 round for Bob today to finish on -5. Pity about yesterday, even if he hits even par on Saturday he would have been right up there.

Frank Gore coming back to the bay to retire. I was raging when he was allowed to leave.

That's him bagged this year's PIP money already with that tweet.
