Very sad news. 43yo is no age. Like intimated above, was probably a blessing given the suffering and debilitation the poor guy was dealing with. RIP

You've missed the point I was making, which was that the SFA would see qualification as justification of what they're doing with regard to grassroots coaching and development. As poor as Scotland are, we've not hit rock bottom yet imo. (Although I can see us finishing behind both Cyprus and Kazakhstan in our group!)

Good luck bairney with your race to the bottom in whataboutary.

I don't think it's right to be laughing at a young player getting injured. By all accounts, laugh at Rangers* or their players being shite or sent off but not getting injured. That's pretty low.

Stephen Pressley is available I believe. Bring him home, Ann!

Even Charlie Hebdo wouldn't have posted that cartoon....

Why was the Cup Final played on the 11th of April? Wasn't it always played in May as the final game of the season?

Is it some kind of torture kit for cats? I can't imagine a cat going anything other that fucking mental if you put one of these on its head!

I'm talking about the fundamental issues we have with our approach to developing players from grassroots, not the professional set up. Much in the same way Uruguay does. ie they've accepted that their domestic league will never be strong enough financially to compete so they looked to developing skillful youngsters with good technique knowing they'll be picked up by foreign Clubs, who will effectively be finishing schools for their talent. We on the other hand still have kids playing 11 v 11 in the freezing cold throughout the winter.....

Agree with the earlier sentiment that qualifying for the Finals, even through this convaluted route, would let the SFA off the hook in that they would see this as justification in their actions in running our game...... when this couldn't be further from the truth. I like Clarke and obviously support my Country (attended 3 major finals to support them) but can't help but think that we truly need to hit rock bottom before the penny drops and the decks get cleared. I take no pleasure in saying this.

Sakura had a CT Scan the other week and it came back showing no relapse. That's 2 years since she finished her treatment, a major milestone but just another step along a long road is how I treat it. The Pediatrician is now suggesting that she has a scan once a year as opposed to twice.....not sure how I feel about this. Anyway, here she is with our new dog, Welsby.

I'm pretty sure it's the same as the dogs name in the dam busters.....

Isn't the word "black" in Latin even worse?

I know a guy at Harrison Park that's a decorator. Can DM his details if you want?

That's how rumours start......

Expensive night out when you consider the cost of a 1000T crane that Network Rail keep on standby incase of an emergency.....

I genuinely couldn't give a f**k, so you fill your boots. xxx

Bottom pic: How did the girl with the glasses and the red dress on get into Rewind? And when I say "get in" I mean physically get into the building?!

Just wait til they move to their new stadium, you'll be paying £30 to sit in Inverness-shire......

Those weren't really reported were they?!

I'm aware that Keane is probably just answering a leading and provocative question from a journalist but in constantly taking swipes at SAF it just makes him look bitter. There was a reason he was moved on from United by SAF. His hip had gone and combined with his sometimes toxic personality, he had to go for the benefit of the dressing room.

Does @Shandon Par know Mugabe is wearing his shirt?

This is true. Aqua man the other night.....
