    I normally have a player I dislike each season (it's a bit of a habit) but I like to think it's always rational. Am I way off with Ferguson? I genuinely don't see what he brings to the side. At times he was actually standing getting in the way today. Have to feel for Cochrane and Todd (thought the latter was good again today) every week as they're doing the job of 3 men. He seems to have a shot every so often to make us aware he's on the park but I struggle to see what else he does. It's absolutely criminal he starts every week and incredible he stayed on the park today and Gibson and Reilly were hooked. Does anyone else see something I'm clearly missing? 

    To balance it out, I really didn't like McClelland for a long time but I think the boy has matured over the season. He seemed to give away a needless foul every single week but he's cut that right out, he rarely loses a header and he doesn't shitebag out of challenges. He's constantly shouting as well. Would be happy to see him back next season. Him alongsid Brydon and maybe an experienced guy and we'd be ok at the back. As we were today when Kilsby was finally dropped. 

    It’s an interesting one, because I agree with you on Ferguson, and Todd being good again today. However, I was speaking to a scout for a potential playoff opponent at half time today and he liked the look of Ferguson, and thought Todd was the big issue in midfield. Intriguing how others can see it so differently.

    I thought I might see if I can pay a first visit to Forthill for an international fixture in May and found they have had to delay selling the tickets.  Hopefully, we get a break from all this rain.  Local comps down here have now moved their opening fixtures from the original planned date.  The Cheshire County Cricket League put out a statement along the lines of they understood the issues for groundsman.  However, they would not make any changes, then had to reverse this decision.  I thought groundsman would be a great job,, low stress job, but......

    The rain in the east this winter has been mental. Cricket Scotland have pushed the first week of the Eastern Premier League back a week, now starting on 4th May, with the original first week of fixtures pushed back to the last weekend in August. Normally grounds would have their pre season rolling done by now, but heard of plenty that haven’t been able to get any weight on their squares at all so far. I think even early May will be too soon for a lot of clubs. 

  3. My lawn is covered in mushrooms, any suggestions on getting rid? I’d read just cutting them while collecting the cuttings should work, but the lawn is too big to collect everything and then dispose of it in my garden waste bins, so hoping for another solution.

    Remember that you can't park overnight at Ingliston - the airport needs its parking revenue :(

    You can’t, according to the signs, but I’ve done it several times with no issue. You’d be unlucky to get a ticket for it, I think.

    Going down to salt and sauce country tomorrow and will try the Ingliston Park and Ride. What’s the score? You just rock up, dump the motor and head onto the tram or do you need to book a spot?

    No booking required. Park up and head for the platform
