    Super Bowl LVIII

    I feel like the Chase Young trade has been a bit of a letdown and Hargrave hasn't had the impact I hoped for. Bosa got a couple of sacks last night but has been underwhelming by his normally exceptional standards. Can't help but feel a lot of the sub par performances from the defence is down to the change in DC. As I said on the managerial merry-go-round thread I wouldn't be fussed if Wilks got a HC job at the end of the season (though it seems unlikely now).

    CEC have announced their preferred route for the tram line down the Granton. The planned route would gobble up a large chunk of the very popular Roseburn path. A new path would be built along the new tram line but cycling would be discouraged with new cycling lanes provided on Orchard Brae and Queensferry Road. 

    The loss of cycling from the Roseburn path would be truly awful as far as I'm concerned. I do agree it's not the most pleasant to cycle along on a dark night for some but the suggestion of providing access to the city centre via cycle lanes on other roads isn't much of a solution given that a lot of people travelling along the route aren't always going to the city centre but instead to the north of Edinburgh and potentially all the way down to Leith. It's an excellent off road connection away from busy roads (like Queensferry Road) that is almost wholly flat (unlike the sloping Orchard Brae). And finally, several millions of pounds have been spent building a connecting path between Roseburn and the canal route which has been decades in the making.

    All in all it seems like a real backward step for active travel to accommodate the tram.

    It’s a scheme that has run at several clubs. Get a brick with your name and message on it on a wall outside the turnstiles, club entrance etc. Elgin have sold hundreds raising several thousands of pounds. Don’t knock it, it is a sound idea.

    I thought we have them on one outside wall.

    It just sounds a bit shit when it's written as plainly as that.
