Distant Doonhamer

Detry and MacIntyre right in the mix. Russell Knox and Malnati right on the cut line (top 33 and ties) and only 5 shots off the lead. Hopefully make it through.

Played in our Wednesday sweep yesterday. Very nice start of bogey, par, par, par. Hit a great drive on par 4 5th. Had 80 yards to the pin for my 2nd. Pushed it right, absolutely plugged in the bunker, 3 shots to get out and thus out of nowhere 6 shots to get down from 80 yards and a triple bogey 7. Played reasonably steadily after that and ended up with a nett 75. Bloody golf.

BBC reporting that executive committee will ratify the decision.

This taken from the BBC report on the match says so much about what is wrong at Man United. “Brazilian wideman Antony cupped his ears at the Coventry fans at the end, even though United were 3-0 up when he replaced Alejandro Garnacho”. Honest to God what an incredible lack of self awareness. Antony is one of many who is the problem and never in a million years part of the solution at a basket case of a club.

First Old Firm Scottish Cup Final since 2002. Must be plenty of opportunity to populate that script.

Ashley Young's dad must the VAR.

It’s a very low bar but I actually thought it was one of his better post match interviews tbh. That’s not saying much mind you. For all it grates it’s also true that we just couldn’t afford to lose yesterday.

Crucial win for Annan at Edinburgh and a 0-0 in Stirling v QOS. Keeps QOS 3 points ahead of Stirling and one ahead of Annan. It was key that we avoided defeat at Stirling and albeit it was a dreadful game at least we achieved that.

Indeed. We shoehorn players into a system that doesn’t suit some of our better players rather than have a system that would get the best out of the players we have.

Yes totally agree Gibson is better than McKechnie but as I said I thought he was really poor today. Gibson should get more starts in my view although he’s never a wing back in a million years. No question in my mind re Bartley. He’s an absolute charlatan.

Gibson clearly has talent and to be fair to him he’s not a wing back but I thought he was awful today. The much maligned McKechnie offered more in his short period on. It was a dreadful game of football and it says it all for me that a player I absolutely don’t rate (McKay) was probably our best player.

Hickey making “good progress”. Hickey update.

Yep, not for a moment suggesting we should remotely be relying on this. Just making the point that it wouldn't be the major shock that some are suggesting if one of Annan or Stirling don't beat Edinburgh.

Edinburgh had a good result to beat Montrose tonight. Maybe Annan and Stirling both beating Edinburgh isn't the certainty that many are assuming.
