Unless they sign 20 new players I wouldn't be backing a team that has a 0/8 win record to pick up too many points between now and April. A 4 point deficit after 8 games can be extrapolated to be double figures with 4 games to go. That said, they do seem to be slowly improving.

And him no doubt too.

Some parts of it are among the wealthiest in Scotland: http://statistics.gov.scot/slice/choropleth?dataset=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdata%2Fscottish-index-multiple-deprivation&http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Flinked-data%2Fcube%23measureType=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdef%2Fmeasure-properties%2Fdecile&http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Flinked-data%2Fsdmx%2F2009%2Fdimension%23refPeriod=http%3A%2F%2Freference.data.gov.uk%2Fid%2Fyear%2F2012&http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdef%2Fdimension%2FsimdDomain=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdef%2Fconcept%2Fsimd-domain%2Foverall#slice_map Then choose East Renfrewshire. It has the one poorer area to contrast with Meanskirk (the 'upmarket footballer' and high flyer's locale).

So was Willem Van Der Ark...

A few of the U20s canned too - Lucas Culjak, Kalvin Orsi, Sam Robertson and Liam Lambert. Though from what I can see Lambert hadn't kicked a ball for the U20s since his sole appearance in August. Had he been injured or was he that bad? There's another Sam Robertson in u17s just to confuse the stats websites - should he sign.

Fecksake, it's on telly and also I hear on radio too. Helium McLeod or Ian Crocker. Not much choice.

Le Havre gave getting back up to Ligue 1 a good go tonight. Went into the last match needing a seven goal swing should Metz lose to Lens. Lens won 1-0 and Havre 5-0 (their biggest win of the season), so they just fell short. Keeper up in stoppage time forced his opposite number into a decisive save. Promotion of course not decided on last day - HAC have dropped too many silly points across the season but to lose out on goals scored, as GD was equal, is a bit gutting.

Heard of older in the Juniors but not sure about non-league seniors. Gus Malone was playing for Tayport last season and turned 56 in January.

I'm pretty sure that during the half-time break of Motherwell vs. United a few weeks back, he was lamenting the harsh sending off of a key United player right on the stroke of h/t - who had only been booked iirc.

Can't believe the guy gets on the radio / TV - makes Derek Ferguson sound like Einstein.

All three have dipped their toes in competition though, have they not? Certainly Orkney & Shetland and am I imagining a Lewis & Harris select? Cost and ease of travel will doubtless be a limitation. Orkeny are involved in North Caley and play games on mainland.

Jack Grimmer live on the telly tonight for Shrewsbury (and the amazingly capped Ian Black)

Just watching one of the Sao Paulo derbies, Corinthians vs. Sao Paulo. Every game I see from Brazil it strikes me how dirty it is compared to standard British fare at the top level. Very entertaining all the same!

Think he *can* play anywhere across the back but he is only 5-10 and looked wee compared to the Premiership cloggers and giants.

Didn't have a wonderful debut IMO - Trevor Francis picked him out as making a 'terrible' mistake not long after coming on. Be interesting to see how quickly he reappears - United's right back crisis could see him starting this week.

Donald Love getting his top flight debut just now for MU.

Ian Anderson visited the site of the old ground for his Caledonia Dreaming series:

I think their budget is slightly bigger than everyone else's...

Again not live but the Highland League Cup used to be on TV. I remember a game in late 90s one sunday afternoon.

Caledonian were live on Sky in early 90s, possibly v Rangers?

World class pundit, by the way!

He has 'come onto a game' however... his first few months on the radio were absolutely abysmal.

McAvennie sadly not ditched.

Not sure there's much worry about people turning up, already records smashed for advanced sales!

Lost track of how many TV spots there have been but here's a new Chinese trailer - lots of new shots and dialogue (in both cases of scenes and scenarios already seen) so avoid if you're staying unspoiled. https://youtu.be/ECYgD7zylrE?t=17s
