I'm just catching up on the Dodson news - bloody hell, he's got some brass neck. According to a Reddit thread I read, it's cumulative bonus rather than his actual salary but either way that is utterly unjustifiable. Dodson had a lot of credit in the bank with me, because I remember so clearly what ...

Flybmi ceased operations in 2019. Ryanair cut back the UK internal flights. Very few operators now. Is Flybe not what used to be BMI and British Midland before that? Essentially a company that goes bust every few years? KLM are probably licking their lips. They've already turned Amsterdam Schiphol ...

Wow, that's quite some increase. Scottish posters, what's this guy bring to the party to justify this? Nothing can justify this. Apparently a lot of it is performance related so will be linked with his personal KPI's. Those will not be about Scotland's on-field performance, clearly. When he took ov...

So much hope pinned on Hutchison/Hutch/Rozza/Big H. He has achieved almost mythical status which will be difficult to live up to. Yeah but he better or else :x Toonie likes Johnson, so he'll probably be at 12 with Hutchinson or Harris (Jones outside bet) at 13. Wouldn't be upset to see Scott at 12 ...

Edinburgh prop Ceccarelli called up to Italy's 6N squad.

Former Glasgow cult hero Sarto also in.

I chose England on the poll but on reflection France have the edge. A lot of class in there and multiple types of threat. Scotland's best offer isn't too shabby but if we play with the stilted dysfunctionality we showed in the WC then it won't be worth much, depends heavily on Toonie selecting the ...

Not a massive Rush fan but seeing him behind his behemoth of a drum kit was something else.

RIP.

Satan's drum band needed some new recruits apparently. Ginger Baker recently, now him.

Amid the general gloom and trepidation of what fresh hell 2020 will bring for Scottish rugby and the wider world, one true Scottish hero stands tall - Danny MacAskill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAEBNEscL0c&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1Oc2SX_-kS-r0BO69ElKKhMvsgtaR5qyxJ75X5vMuiX8P8b_a2RhaJf30 No...

Laidlaw retires from Scotland duty. Well played Greeg, memorable career and continually led by example. Huge player for Scotland. Had many detractors and critics. Some of it was justified - his natural game was a poor fit with the game Scotland wanted to play in recent years. But he probably made u...

That would be excellent, even if just for the rest of the season. Just what the Weegies need. I am not entirely convinced. He is of course a total Glasgow legend, and we have seen with Matawalu that a return can be a success. But we don't really need a second row, our problems are elsewhere. Cummin...

Doing my UKCC1 training badge, we did basics of tackling. This involved a side-on tackle at slow walking speed, starting from two steps out. Even so, I managed to completely get my footwork wrong, tangle myself up, and miss the tackle. The guy who was supposed to give me feedback couldn't do any bet...
