St Mirren v Sevco 2012 Sunday 28th April
Rael Rover replied to Lola montez's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Keep having to remind myself it is Sky when Miller is in co-comms as it is very Rangers TVish -
Scotland go down 8 6 to Swiss. Was back and fourth to 7th end when a couple of poor shots allowed the Swiss to pick up four. Scotland did have a chance of 4 with their last stone of the 8th end but just short and only picked up two. Surprise in the other play off with Estonia beating Canada in an extra end to qualify for their first ever world championship semi final.

The Terrible Journalism & Tom English Thread
Rael Rover replied to Ludo*1's topic in Scottish Premiership General Chatter
Yeah seemed to take off around mid 1970s. I remember having Middlesbrough, Coventry and weirdly Borussia Monchengladbach tops around that time. -

Tory Lies, Corruption and Hypocrisy- Add Them Here
Rael Rover replied to HTG's topic in The Politics Forum
Saw a bit of this on Sky News. He at one stage said it would reduce immigration as once people currently not working were "supported" back in into work they would fill job vacancies. Did not answer the where are these health experts question. You missed they also intend people not back into work after 12 months would have their claims closed. Very compassionate and supportive if you have mental health problems! -
He had a chance to apologise in his Sky interview when it was mentioned but instead said he had to get in to see his players,. In this came across as a bad lower. Sky then showed the stage managed (Rangers PR?) hand shake after the interview. Getting a bit pissed off with Sky making no comment on the sectarian singing in Old firm matches which was particularly bad today, and to give Bennett his due he called it out,

At least the Dingwall Chosen Few don't have far to get home. Hope they are hurting like f*ck. Clement showing he is true blue by being so ungracious at the end.

To be honest I wonder if Michael Stewart is having some form of mental issues. Argues about the most mundane things. -
The Jordan burn and and Comiston Burn have caused problems in Morningside. The Jordan led to flats having to be demolished at one stage and you can still see the buttresses holding up the buildings behind the Sainsbury Local shop. Various houses on one side of Comiston Road just past South Morningside primary school have "squint"mantles above the doors. I reall the terraced houses at the bottom of Comiston Road all being vacated for a period in the early 2000s to allow concrete to be poured into them, it took weeks.

Used to quite like Mikey Stewart as he was wiling to discuss topics such as the sectarian singing at Ran Celt games. Also gave good comment on games from the players point of view on commentary. However the current version comes across as just arguing for arguings sake, almost as it is a policy decision by the programmes directors. Did see him covering for McCoist or Sutton in the BT Scottish football preview show once and he had a nice selection of malts in the background so def has some good points. -
Didn't see the 3rd place match but disappointing to be going into the 10th end with a three lead and lose three, then have the hammer in the extra end and miss out. Maybe ran out of steam after semi. Watching final and was 5 all in 10th end with Canada sitting 3 Sweden take last shot. Edin drops it by about 10cm for his and Sweden's 7th word title. 9 ly loss was to Scotland although Edin was rested for that one.

Tom English rightly calling out that the Billy boys will be sung tomorrow and the SPFL, SFA, police etc will do or ay nothing. Think Michael Stewart was agreeing with him but before it could get a bit more interesting McIntyre moved on to another subject. There are times I despair of this country. -
Raith Rovers Vs Ayr United
Rael Rover replied to diegomarahenry's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Was a bit worried when Ayr equalised as looked like we were struggling with playing against the wind while Ayr were controlling the ball well with it behind them. Def penalty and after that fairly comfortable, partly helped with Ayr going long ball. -
Scotland through to semis against Canada after 8 3 win over USA. Its at 15.00 today but no sign of BBC showing on iPlayer. Olympic Channel at Olympics.cpm says they are showing both semis and the final but not sure if free or not.

Watched the Swiss, Germany match and the Swiss had a good chance to win with final stone but just over hit it. Hope the go for it tonight against Canada as a thank you to their fans.

Checked this out and was a 7 day option for 4.99 Canadian Dollars so took it. Watched Scotland last night and just now. Scotland 5 4 up on Norway after 5 ends. Goes to extra end and Scotland edge Norway 9 8.
