First set to Murray on a tie break, but he has made heavy weather of it so far. He upped his game when the tie break came along and breezed it, but he struggled on Gasquet's serve up until that point. Could still be a long day for him if he does not stay on the ball.

It's fine, it'll do the job, I'm liking the black shoulders and the striped necklines.

The guy who sculpted these is Iain Chalmers who won the recent carve Carr-Bridge competition. Some incredible pieces of wood on display, worth looking at if you have nt seen them yet.

Here is a pic taken from the net somewhere, but this is one of the carvings at Culloden, there must be half a dozen of these carvings along Culloden Drive, behind Barn Church Road from the shops to Culloden Hotel driveway.

If it's at Culloden, there are a number of fantastic sculptures carved into the trees, like chainsaw carvings, really well done and quite intricate as well.

Stock cars everywhere.

OK, nobody interested in the tennis then, I'll start my own thread. Wimbers already started, rain and roof already deployed and Murray through his first test after a jittery start, but once he opened up Daniel was punished to the full. Murray on again today, rain allowances, hopefully another safe passage through to next round. If he keeps the heid maybe he can take out Nadal in the semi's, plenty of tennis before then though. Strawberry and cream.......yummy yummy.

Fantastic performance by Rory, broke plenty of records doing this, no, smashed plenty of records. He is too good a player and person to let that Masters meltdown get to him.

As my mate, that big Jessie Jay said the other day................. Seems like everybody's got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night. When the sale comes first, And the truth comes second, Just stop, for a minute and Why is everybody so serious Acting so damn mysterious Got your shades on your eyes And your heels so high That you can't even have a good time Everybody look to their left (yeah) Everybody look to their right (ha) Can you feel that (yeah) We're paying with love tonight It's not about the money, money, Rooney We don't need your money, money, Rooney Okay We need to take it back in time, When footy made us all unite And it wasn't low blows and video goals, Am I the only one getting tired Why is everybody so obsessed Money can't buy us happiness Can we all slow down and enjoy right now Guarantee we'll be feeling Alright. It's all about the Rooney Rooney Rooney Forget about the money money money Wanna make the fans dance, Forget about the Price Tag Rooney Rooney Rooney All about Rooney Rooney Rooney oh sorry, I thought you said mooney. Any similarity to other tunes are purely coincidental and completely accidental.

I'll take my same three shares please. I'm for Shane as our number one choice, localish lad comes good. I will pay the local debt collector when he/she makes themselves known to us.

What's with all the Duff bashing. I doubt he is as bad as some are making out. Yes he was taken to the cleaners a couple of times last season at RB, but he was not alone there as that wee Honduran sprinter tore him a new one. I beieve he is a better midfielder, more composed than some and less wasteful, unfortunately not always, but he does seem to get singled out for unfair criticism at times. Should we not be getting behind our players until we have sufficient evidence to shout them down. I'm thinking of the likes of Stratford who it became increasingly obvious that he was not the type of player we required in the engine room. We can all have off days, even weeks, but he deserves better than this from some of his own supporters surely. Duff is going to be one of the players that you either love or hate, no middle ground, a sort of balder Russell Duncan, it's going to be a long season for him, I hope he does well. Still, each to their own.

Looking good so far for young Rory. 10 shots clear after five holes, it could be a golfing masterclass.

Black and white and read all over.................

Young Rory making a great bid for the US Open after his disaster at Augusta, good on you loon. He has made a terrific start and is going well in the second round so far, -4 for today after thirteen holes, which puts him at -10 so far. Keep it going young man, and maybe this time there will be no

Good story scarlet.

Aye, in an ideal world that would be the bees knees ICT Paisley, unfortunately it's not always about us and other persons/clubs/fans come into play as well. What was that saying............You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not please all of the people all of the time.

The contract is a two way deal, the players or more importantly the players agent have some input in this. A lot of players only do 1 year contracts with clubs of our ilk, it offers them the chance to move on when the time comes, or stay should that option be offered to them. We should be thankful that we get them signed at all on whatever contract. We are never going to be the big draw that some clubs are, we will always have to make the most of what we get and so far we seem to be doing ok on that. I get cheesed off every time I see someone post that why did we not offer more than one/two year deals etc. It's a big world out there and life is not always that simple, live with it or jump ship.

So what happened

And he could possibly start at Annan or Dunfermline Athletic, where he could earn a move on to Rapid Vienna with his fast growing reputation...............

What's the EPL, is that the Elgin Pub League

Interesting signing, he has played well against us before.

You saw practically all of it, around 11:20. Some going for a man who will be 84 in November. That was almost four hours of him alone with about 2000 plus jokes thrown in. The wifie was a bit naff on the piano but the violin/guitar/banjo player seemes to be a talented chap, just not everyones cup of tea though, although he was well received. Great effort Doddie.

The man is mad.
