Interesting aside: if you google ‘Hamilton Burr’ then you get details of an 1804 duel between Aaron Burr (then VP of the USA) and Alexander Hamilton (former Secretary of the Treasury). Wonder whether his parents knew? Hammy Burr is ex-Stirling County. Aberdeen boy, was a footballer (goalie I think)...

It did ruin the game which was building nicely. Hard to argue with the card though. In today's environment yes. But 9 years ago it was outrageous. All the pundits - Pienar, Fitzpatrick et al were livid. It was a shit decision. No, it was a red then but it wasn't properly enforced. The pundits were ...

About bloody time he popped up! And Bentos too. ‘97 Lions tour would have been very different without those 2.

Taity’s a legend, would make an ‘Best Evah’ Scottish XV.

It would be disappointing if he left rugby without the world witnessing him doing that idiotic swan dive and accidentally flinging the ball into the stands. Always wanted to see him pop a rib doing that. Some mention of maybe going to Quims? Would've thought some time stateside more likely, though ...

No, not the one from Casualty (sorry Globus). No, the cute, disappeared little Welsh songstress. Sounds like she's had a pretty rough time:

Was there about 18 months ago - not sure if anyone's suggested this: https://www.canopytour.co.za/locations/cape/ I'm crap at heights, but absolutely loved it.

Well that was shit. I thought Johnson was supposed to be a cutting edge - no gas and less nous. Townsend may not be able to do much on the field, but he’s solely responsible for making timely, appropriate changes. He fails every time. Johnson was good . Ireland were pish. Scotland should've won. Sh...

So it’s a better loss, with a LBP, but at the end of the day it’s still a loss and I am sick of losing games we could have won. Haven’t watched it yet, but BBC describing Hogg’s failure to ground the ball as a ‘howler’. Would we have won if he had scored that? All he had to do was fall over. Couldn...

Re Finn, when I've met him he's always come across as a decent lad. Yeah he has a rep for maybe being a bit of a knob with a drink in him, but it's not malicious from what I know - just a young bloke having fun. He's no doubt got a good idea of his own worth and if the Scotland gig is just too much ...

Can't see a credible scenario where Scotland win this. Perhaps a very early red card for tackling in the air or something. Even then. Don't think it will be by 25, but a 5-0 match points result in all likelihood. It'll be our first match under a new coach with some signs already that out of form 'e...

I take it (and apologies if it's already been covered, but sifting out Old Rovers deflectionist shit would take an age) that if/when Sarries are relegated, they won't get the £1.7m 'parachute' payment?

As said earlier, very selective. I can see us being 6th. France for the Grand Slam.

Toony's said Taylor wasn't picked due to Saracens playing the Sunday before the 6 Nations starts (and so can't make it to most of the squad sessions). Which is interesting. If he's in good enough form to be considered, why not have him in the extended squad so he can be picked for the remaining mat...

Apparently it's Graham (Gary) who is interesting Glasgow. I quite like Gary Graham but is he really anything but Harley/Wilson? Tom Gordon is outstanding everytime he plays so would rather he's 7 than Graham. Maitland is an ideal signing to play 15 but can they afford him? I think it depends just h...

She got the Tories who were close to being wiped out in Scotland into second place displacing Labour in Holyrood. Are you sure that wasn't mostly down to Brexit? In a country that was 62% remain? No. She's just a very good communicator with broad appeal. I'm not a Tory, but she's a loss to politics...

Seems like a Caley Reds would be the only viable option for a third team. There just aren't enough punters in the Borders unfortunately.

I don't see any "digs" in what Jones is saying. He's only saying what most of us have been saying and considering how much of a snidey goblin he usually is it's actually fairly boring.

Take it people are aware that the scrum throw in (yes, that's the correct term in the laws) changed last season? Scrum-half's 'upfield' shoulder should be aligned with centre line of scrum, so ball is put in under the LH props navel. Purpose is to give advantage to the side throwing in and allow for...
