I'm astonished this guy is still playing senior football.

Didn't think it was all that bad an episode - the New Day were good fun as always, R-Truth provided a genuine laugh-out-loud moment when he knocked himself out, and the Cena-Del Rio match had its moments (even if the conclusion was obvious) - but the whole Vinnie K thing at the start was absurd. I don't know why he was so keen to goad Roman Reigns into striking him, surely he had evidence from the other week's show when he was hit with a Superman Punch? I've been watching the WWE for two years now and with the exception of one or two moments, the main roster has been pretty crappy in 2015.

It wasn't through me, but I do remember there was the "Blether with Bomber" feature that appeared once a week on the site. The manager was interviewed, reviewed and previewed matches and talked about team selections and player availability. I haven't seen it for a couple of months though.

Aye, it's been a criticism of the club for about the last five years. The lack of information supporters get is really poor, especially when it's compared to other clubs. Unless you're in the Wee Bar before matches and you're chatting with someone who's friendly with the players, you have no idea what's going on with injuries and availability. I've said it before but when you compare our club's social media with the likes of Stranraer and Ayr United, it's pretty embarrassing. Ciaran Summers is back in action with the U-20s, although it was the player himself who tweeted that out.

A letdown? No chance. That was one of the best episodes I've ever seen. The booking was sensational - everyone, from first to last, put in a great shift, none more so than Big Match Phil. His heel work throughout was magnificent - the Eagle Eye Strong Lager, the comments to Ben at the dinner table, the car crash, his horrible, life-changing diagnosis - and he was definitely the star of the show. Everyone looked strong - Sharon, Jane, Ian, Bobby, Kathy - and their tangled web looks even knottier after last night. Fair play to Big Match Phil for main eventing for the last 20 years.

That opening tag match on this week's show is incredible, one of the best I've seen this year. Gable and Jordan are on another planet at the moment.

Why did you edit out the comment wishing the team good luck for the rest of the season?

Pretty sure it was Cowden's league to lose that year, they completely chucked it towards the end of the season. But aye, good to see Chappie's keeping abreast of the situation down Almondvale.

That sucked. The fights were alright-ish but the whole thing was a drag.

It's been alright so far, certainly a lot better than expected. After last season's near-disaster and the talk about financial mismanagement and reduced budgets for the year ahead, the outlook was pretty grim. The perception changed when Brown Ferguson signed a series of quality players (Stephen Stirling, Jon Robertson and Mark Gilhaney) and there was a feeling that the team were an outside shout for a play-off place. This, however, was offset by the recruitment of boys like Jamie Barclay and Jon McShane, nondescript lower-league jobbers who are only likely to bolster the numbers rather than offer genuine improvement; going into the season, I reckon most people would have been satisfied with eighth. The league campaign started well enough with a 2-2 draw at Peterhead (although there's no doubt the team would have won the match had it not been for Stuart Malcolm's recklessness midway through the match) and a home win against Airdrieonians with Fraser Eddington scoring in injury time to secure the win. That was followed by the unalloyed highpoint of the season - a superb victory over Raith Rovers in the Challenge Cup. Stenhousemuir played the Championship side off the park, while Stephen Stirling scored one of the best goals I've ever seen in the flesh with a stunning volley from 30 yards. The next week, the team travelled to Forfar Athletic and were roundly bodied. This match was the beginning of their defensive problems - Forfar scored four times and every goal was preventable. Nervous defending, riven with carelessness, and dreadful goalkeeping undid the team on a weekly basis. The chief culprits were Jamie Barclay (who seemed to make decisive errors in every match), Liam Henderson (a young loanee from Heart of Midlothian who never seemed to learn from his mistakes) and Stuart Malcolm (a shadow of the player who performed for Forfar with assurance the previous year) but in a small squad, Ferguson was unable to drop them. Some of the defending bordered on embarrassing: the aforementioned Forfar match; a 4-2 win over Cowdenbeath that was far more tense than it ever should have been; the 2-5 loss at Ayr United that saw Barclay score one of the best own goals you'll ever see; a solid 0-5 bodying from Dunfermline Athletic was horrible; the 2-2 home draw with Brechin City should never have happened; and the 0-3 defeat at Peterhead in the Challenge Cup came after three goalkeeping mistakes. The match with Peterhead at the end October was the turning point of sorts. The first-half performance was a disgrace - Malcolm and Barclay were both poor as usual and allowed Rory McAllister to score a hat-trick before the interval - but Jason Scotland, making his first start for the club, turned the game on its head and instigated a stunning comeback. Stenhousemuir went on to win 4-3 in the kind of match you only see on the telly or read about in the paper. That was followed by a decent win at Stranraer, a home draw with Forfar (all the more impressive given the team were trailing by two goals and reduced to ten men) and a victory at Brechin. The team were propelled into the play-off places and everyone around the club felt that, with someone like Scotland in the side, there was a genuine chance they could stay there. Sure, the goalkeeping and defending was shit but when you're scoring freely then you've always got a chance. Then came the East Kilbride debacle. Stenhousemuir have had some bother with non-league sides in the Scottish Cup over the last decade - they were beaten by Preston Athletic in 2006, the lost at Threave Rovers the following year and one of John Coughlin's final matches was a horrid 2-2 draw with the Meadow Park club - but even so, they were in great form and fully expected to prevail. Five minutes into the match and something looked weird, it looked as though Stenhousemuir weren't up for it. And so it proved when Bernard Coll and Sean Winter put EK into the lead. Sure, Stenny battled back into the match and secured a replay, but it wasn't good enough. I fully believed they'd win the replay - there'd be no chance they'd play so badly again - but sure enough, EK won. It was surprising and unsurprising. After the fourth-round draw had been made (a home tie with Huntly or East Lothian Hutchison Vale, the most straightforward-looking tie in the whole competition) I joked that Stenny would go on to job. It was the most Stenhousemuir thing to do. Losing at K Park was a disgrace and arguably the nadir of the last decade. Subsequent performances have been good but results have not. The team absolutely deserved at least a point from the match with Albion Rovers and, by all accounts, should have taken something from the weekend's match at Dunfermline; I'd expect Stenny to win against Stranraer at home on Boxing Day. So here we are, sitting in mid-table. There's been a lot of good so far - Jason Scotland, Kieran Millar, Ross Meechan - but a lot of bad too. I reckon a lot of teams will turn over their squads in the new year but I reckon we're going to be stuck with what we've got. We need a new goalkeeper - Barclay has proven himself to be a liability and Matt Gould, the young Livingston loanee, isn't much better, despite his immaculate distribution - and something needs to be done about Stuart Malcolm. Other than the fact he captains the side, I can't really see any obvious reason for keeping him in the starting XI. Other than that, I'm not sure what else we need in January. Malcolm aside, the defence is pretty solid (Meechan is turning into a quality player, Jamie McCormack has been decent of late and I like Jim Paterson), there's depth in midfield and once Allan Smith returns from injury, we'll have a handy frontline. Given the meagre quality of the teams outside of Dunfermline and Ayr, there's no reason why Stenny can't go on and finish in the play-offs. For all the talk of taking eighth place before a ball had been kicked, having seen most of the sides in action, I'd be a little disappointed if they didn't finish in the play-offs. It's brilliant to see Summers fit again but he's got a long way to go before he gets ahead of Paterson at the moment. As I've said in previous posts, Paterson's doing really well at the moment.

That's Mark Burchill sacked.

Jim Paterson and Jason Scotland have agreed terms until the end of the season. Very pleased with the news - Paterson's quietly developed into one of the team's most consistent players and has been a fine replacement for the stricken Ciaran Summers, while Jason Scotland's been a brilliant signing, the kind of guy who can make the difference between finishing in the lower reaches of mid-table and a play-off place.

What was in place before the Corporation/the Authority? Their presence seems pretty tired. It'd be nice if there was something else there for wrestlers to kick against. Anyway. I've just watched Vinnie K booting Roman Reigns in his groin and it's been a pretty good episode so far. This is what I want from Reigns - a beautiful, silent killing machine.

Ernie Ball Regular Slinkies (10) - the best there is, there best there was, the best there ever will be.

Absolutely pumped for tonight's show. The holiday season officially starts now.

"Tater-tots"

The thing that annoys me is characters doing one thing one week then contradicting their behaviour the next. Take good ol' Roman Reigns. A couple of weeks ago Triple H was offering to fast-track him to the WWE Championship. Reigns declined his offer, saying that everything in his life he had to work hard for an earn. Fair enough. This week, after Sheamus is in the ring cutting a so-so promo, Reigns sneaks up behind him and punches him before stealing the belt. You could say he's just doing what Sheamus did to him at Survivor Series but it seemed out of character and jarred with what had gone before. And then he just hands the belt back to the Authority after they told him to! Ambrose, meanwhile, the far more popular of the two, looks like a big goon and eats the pin at the end of the night. Great work, lads.

This is absolutely 100 per cent self-indulgent but here's some pictures of my "set up". It's in my back room where I iron clothes and dry washing, so please excuse the mess. It turns out I was wrong about some of the gear listed above, I was trying to do it from memory at work. It's should have read Fender Stageman 212 amplifier and a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive. (I'm also unsure of how to post pictures on here either, it doesn't seem like a straightforward process.)

An absolute car crash of a show. Nothing, not one thing, seemed to make sense. That main event, I can't even.

I play a Rickenbacker 360 (midnight blue) and play it through a Fender Twin Reverb. I own several FX units: Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer Boss BD-2 Blues Driver Boss FB-2 Feedbacker Boss RV-6 Digital Reverb Boss TE-2 Tera Echo Boss OD-3 Overdrive Electro Harmonix Superego Synth Engine Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi Digitech Whammy V Boss RE-20 Space Echo Line 6 DL-4 Digital Delay Electro Harmonix Memory Man Electro Harmonix Epitome When everything's turned up loud and you can muck about with combinations and different sounds, it can be absolutely wonderful.

Looking forward to seeing this tonight. After reading the results earlier this morning, it sounds like a cracker of a show!

Their match with Gable and Jordan was pretty class (although that was more to do with Gable and Jordan more than anything else). Eva Marie certainly looked on point. It's good to see her back on the telly.

That Reigns-Cesaro match was something else. There was only ever going to be one winner but some of the spots were superb. Cesaro is on a different planet, he wrestled rings around Reigns. Some good wrestling this week, just a bit disappointed nothing really interesting happened (Paige's dead-brother bomb aside, great heel work).

I'm going to stick my neck on the line here and predict Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Alberto Del Rio and Kevin Owens qualify for the semi-finals.

Thought it was a decent show (minus the women's wrestling, which was pretty crap - go and just let Sasha Banks fight, please) but the ending was hokey and undid a lot of the good work they'd done in recent weeks. Bray Wyatt had been looking pretty handy after his mob beat down the Undertaker and then Kane and his appearance on last week's Raw was neat, all the pyrotechnics and that. This week, however, he was right back at square one, a hapless chump who never wins. Undertaker and Kane came out, beat him up, and left. That was it. A good story gone. What was the point in Wyatt "eating their souls" if they just pitch up and batter him at the first opportunity? I would have been far more satisfying to see the Brothers of Destruction fall at Wyatt's feet and do his bidding, a sort of super Wyatt family. I suppose it's leading to Survivor Series with Undertaker, Kane and two others facing off against the Wyatts. Given the historical significance of this show, the Wyatts have no chance. Unless there's something big coming, it's a very disappointing outcome and makes the end of Hell in a Cell look clunky and unnecessary.
