My son started Goalkeeping Academy tonight. Its also on on a Friday night. He has Athletics on a Wednesday night, Swimming on a Thursday night and plays bowls on a Sunday morning. Homework isn't THAT important is it?

Can I take back that the penalty was a stonewaller? Looks very soft to say the least on the highlights

I went along to the game today with my son. I thought Bo'ness were well worth their victory today. Some decent defending once the back 5 settled down and the keeper kept the score level with some good saves. Didn't seem to be too many complaints from Darvel when the penalty was awarded, looked a stonewaller even from the other end of the ground. Great save by the keeper again early in the second half to keep the score at 1-0. Nice run by the big no 9 (Dalziel?) to make the space for the no 7 to run into and strike the ball low and hard into the corner though the keeper seemed to go down in instalments. The 3rd goal was well worked and there's just something about a move that results in one full back crossing and the other full back scoring Hoping Bo'ness get a home draw in the next round as I would love to go back. It was also really good to see the number of kids on the pitch at half time, is that a normal thing?

I'd like to see Henderson taken off before he gets sent off. Bisland on at RB and Yeats into the middle

Great first half from us, there's not much between the teams but we have taken the chances when they've arrived. Penalty didn't look one in real time and the replays haven't changed my mind, Gourlay sold the Kelty jerseys at the 3rd goal. Don't mind losing the goal we lost, was a good strike and Long was helpless at it though maybe if Donaldson had a shout to leave the ball it would have gone out for a goal kick

He reffed Camelon v Newtongrange in the last round where he had a decent game. He knew most of the players in that by their first name as well. I'm planning to go to Newtown Park (is it still called that?) with my son for the game today, how much will admission be and will it be cash only?

Nah, I find I spend most of my day talking and being easily distracted when I'm in the office. Get far more done working at home

Wouldn't happen in Argos or Index

This shortage of referees isn't unique to Scotland, its a worldwide problem. Like every other job, the people doing it only get better the more experience they get

Yep, Douglas Ross was right on to it as well to be fair to him. For me though that should be a yellow card for delaying the restart of play, I don't get the difference between that at TAA's yellow at St James Park

I agree with this. I've got a memory from my schooldays that towards the end of a Physics lesson in an all boys class we were discussing football with the teacher and he said something along the lines of "if a winger gets past his man even 50 per cent of the time then he's doing a good job for the team". By the counter argument that means the full back beats the winger 50 per cent of the time as nobody is going to win every battle they get into. Yeats is doing fine at RB for me, its his position to lose now

As others have said it was never a penalty, the defender just outmuscled him.

Williamson? Presume you mean Henderson

He's got wee man syndrome, seems to be permanently angry and as you say a shocking referee.

And right on cue the first card goes to a Fijiian

How many penalties do Wales get away with conceding before the cards come out? I'm sure he went to his pocket and changed his mind

With the end of the outdoor season fast approaching, what are people's plans for the winter? My club offers carpet bowls over the winter and there's a carpet bowls league planned on weekday evenings. I've never played carpet bowls but from what I've heard about it I don't think I fancy it.

I'm not going to pretend to know much about the tackling laws and I watched the game last night purely to see Argentina pump England. For me Curry's red card was soft, I thought it was accidental. Argentina were very disappointing, not just because they failed to beat England but they barely laid a glove on them. England didn't even need to be good, just solid and disciplined. Of course they'll now think they'll win the full thing!

Women are really bad for this. Always "you should say this", "you should ask that" "I would say this" Funny how the tune changes when you say you're happy for them to deal with it in that case

Nearly 400 fans make the travel to Ayr on a Tuesday night for a cup tie nobody including McGlynn gave a sh*t about winning, we make 4 changes to our preferred first 11 to give our fringe players some game time and we put on two young boys for the final 25 minutes yet still win 1-0 against a team from the league above? We really are MASSIVE

Camelon 0 (4) v (3) 0 Newtongrange Star First time at The Moore Equipment Hire Stadium (will always be Carmuirs Park to me) in 14 years for me despite living locally and working a stones throw away from the stadium. Much change in the stadium and my son says the food is better there than TFS!! Game itself wasn't up to much, both keepers only had 1 or 2 saves to make each. Could tell it would finish 0-0 after about an hour so no shock when that was exactly how it finished after extra time. Camelon keeper made two good saves in the shoot out that ultimately made the difference

Thank you

I'm going along to Camelon v Newtongrange Star today with my son, 2.30pm kick off. Are these games settled on the day or do they go to replays? If they are settled on the day is it extra time and penalties or is it straight to penalties?

Our son's birthday is Sunday and last Friday I placed an online order for a birthday cake from Costco using her membership number and email address. She kept going on about how she hasn't had an email from Costco about it. I had heard enough of her moaning by last night so ordered the same cake from Costco using my own membership no and email address and received an email acknowledgement within 10 minutes that went into my junk folder. I told her this and got "I've checked my junk and there's nothing there" in reply. Guess what I spotted in her junk email folder as she scrolled... It's somehow MY fault that I never checked HER emails for the acknowledgement

I ran the line a few times in Falkirk u19 games when Arfield, Moffat, Allison, Mitchell, Stewart were coming through the ranks. Arfield only ever played in midfield in those games
