So your reaction to criminal behaviour is to not involve the police and just sweep it under the carpet. So if your car is stolen you won't bother with the police and just ask those who did it to calm their exuberance and not do it again?

Maybe they did.

The online seemed to go straight to the commentary, but I switched between the two options for Sportsound and got OAM.

Thanks again Scotty.

Thanks Scotty, If others are happy and find it useful then far be it from me to say get rid.

Is there any way to switch off the Our Picks down the right hand side when reading threads? I find it really distracting and in the way of reading the content. Having it at the top of the list of new posts is OK, just not at the side when trying to read the threads.

Just read a story on the BBC site about some potential rule changes being discussed by IFAB, and wondered what people thought of them. Some of the big headlines are changing to 30 minute halves, with the clock stopping when the ball is out of play, stopping rebounds from penalties, ie make it the same as a penalty shoot out, and it must go in from the first strike, and allowing the ref to award a goal if one is clearly prevented by a handball. There is a PDF document, also linked in the article, showing the full proposals and whether the could be implemented straight away, just issuing guidance on protocols, could be experimented with, or would need rule changes. The ones that I like, they are both pet peeves for me anyway, are the proposal to make goal kicks be taken from the side the ball went out, (I am sure that it was that way years ago anyway), and that a half can only be ended when the ball is out of play. Means that as long as you keep the ball live you can keep attacking to get the equaliser or winner, and no worries about the whistle blowing as the cross is delivered. Not so sure on the penalty one, it stops imaginative penalty taking.

Falkirk, Stirling Albion, Brechin City, and Forfar Athletic.

This game shows that when things are bad, you don't get the breaks either. For the first, the ball looked out for a throw before the pass back, but the assistant says it stayed in play. For the second, the hand clearly hits the ball as it is being brought in from the touch line. If we had been having a good season, those would have gone for us or not been a concern.

And in other news, check the photo in the story on the official site about the signings.

Just heard John Hughes on the radio saying that Dani Lopez is leaving, freeing up his wages helped to secure Miles Storey for the rest of the season.

Just watching It'll be Alright on the Night, they have a football section, and up pops the clip of Marley Watkins being interviewed before the cup final, when the photographer has the unfortunate meeting with the cup.

Owain Tudur Jones got a late call up for Wales a couple of years ago. So late he didn't have his boots with him

Section 3.5, immediate suspension I'm afraid.

​It certainly sounds like we would get one of our games on, however I understand the rights start from the group stages so don't include the qualifying rounds, and the channels don't start until 1st of August, so it looks unlikely. I guess the ' Each participating British team' bit means each British team participating when the channels start.

before the last away strip. I chose hooped socks then and we got them for the current home strip, maybe this time for away ?

Adam Rooney called up for Republic of Ireland Squad for Scotland game http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32703107

Thanks, will need to sort the 4AM alarm call now

Got myself and daughter booked on Bus 14, site doesn't say whether this is leaving at 08:30 or 09:00 though, and as I am coming down from Thurso that half hour can make a difference. Can anyone confirm the departure time, and whether I need to print off the tickets or can I use the barcodes in the mobile app ?

As far as doing something in this final we didn't do in the last, how about simply 'WIN'

Handball?

An interesting point I saw made on P&B, in that the Compliance Officer is there to pick up incidents that the refereeing team has not dealt with at the time. By the accounts I have read, the ref saw there may be a claim, consulted with the additional assistant, who said he did not see an infringement, and the ref waved play on. Therefore the incident was dealt with at the time, the Compliance Officer has no jurisdiction and any suspension cannot be upheld.

Will they also be writing to the OED to gain an understanding of the phrase "gracious in defeat"? And also the meaning of 'first and foremost' which it appears they use to describe their third statement.

Loved the reaction shot from Yogi and Scott Kellacher, with Russell Latapy just smiling non-nonchalantly in the background.

At the risk of repeating myself, that's because Andy Walker is a tw@t Surely you mean a Celtw@t
