Tbf that Billy Burns intercept was off yet another dropped ball (16 of them on the night), Ulster's inability to hold the ball gave Edinburgh 2 tries in the end and nearly a 3rd but for the intercept. The first half was very close (55-45% territory and possession to Edinburgh) but Edinburgh kept ho...

This is not trolling but one of the big differences is that the Ulster bench had lads who were used to winning things. Moore, Madigan and McGrath have all stood on podiums when the big shiny thing is handed out. I thought the two props made a huge difference. Having a winning mentality gained by no...

Edinburgh had three clear cut chances that would have put the game out of sight. In two, the support had over run the carrier when a pass would have given them a clear run to the line. In the other, Bennett tried to pass and was intercepted by Burns; if he had kicked it was a foot race between three...

Boris Johnson has got to raise his game for PMQs. This was a total shambles Traditionally a prime minister will prepare by deciding what questions are likely to be asked and rehearsing answers to them. Mr Johnson, it appeared, had not taken this precaution. His replies to Sir Keir were incoherent, ...

Edinburgh throw the dice for this game. Shiel given a start against decent opposition at last, Frosty on the bench does not fill me with confidence as an adequate back up. Chamberlain will be interesting. 15. Blair Kinghorn (88) 14. Darcy Graham (30) 13. James Johnstone (49) 12. Chris Dean (89) CAPT...

The Wandering Spaniard gets MotM for Exeter in the win over Bristol. He has looked solid in every game I've seen him for Exeter, hopefully this heralds a full recovery of his career t the player he looked like he'd become a while back.

Edinburgh01

Lots of rustiness, and quite a few unfamiliar faces / units, but Edinburgh choke the life out of Glasgow to win 15 - 30. Capped by a half the length of the pitch beating many, many players try by Shiel to show why Edinburgh supporters are mystified by his lack of game time. Edinburgh in the quarters...

Spectators to be allowed for the return leg next week (also at Murrayfield).

The SRU have been pushing for this to be a test event so this is good. All we need to know now is how many, and how tickets will be made available.

So good to have rugby back. Since I seem to be the only Scottish poster left, teams for tomorrow are : Edinburgh 15. Blair Kinghorn (87) 14. Eroni Sau (10) 13. Mark Bennett (36) 12.

We are moving house. This involves clearing out the garage. Sitting in said garage for the last 25 years, repackaged pristine in its original packaging, has been a Linn LP12.

Not necessarily so, if some schools have submitted grades that are based on the school’s prior outcomes and others have submitted inflated grades then it will change the comparative outcomes at both an individual and establishment level. Part of me thinks grade inflation based on optimistic estimat...

Ruaidhrígh Current Scottish spelling. In Ireland the current spelling (since the 1930/40's) would be Ruairí, but there is a small element, especially in the Kerry region who never quite accepted the elimination of the silent letters. Ruairidh is all I have ever heard of. As in Ruaridh Jackson - ret...

They like to think so, and never stop telling you, but not even close.

Close down the Edinburgh and Perthshire private schools and rugby in Scotland effectively ceases to exist.

I brought this same subject up with some mates the other day ( one of whom is of this parish ) after I watched a documentary on Albert Speer (Hitler's architect) which stated that he played rugby ( 2nd Row ) when at school in Heidelburg. I also read lately that Nick Knowles ( UK TV presenter ) play...

Ireland having a high ETR to headline ratio is quite recent, and was not the case during the period relevant to the Apple case. One of the issues in the past has been the method of calculation.

A 10% share of the BoE's assets is going to be a quantity of gold and foreign currency.

I noticed on the Beeb this a.m. that various reporters were saying that you'd never know restrictions were still in force from shops and parks near them. If we go to 1m, then it is all over imho. There is a steady decline in observance as it is, and 1m is so close to normality that very rapidly we w...
