Apparently the deal has been done. bbc Scoland will be in Conclave to decide how to treat him. He'll probably be ok. Hearts are reasonably well regarded at Pacific Quay since Mrs Budge but it wouldn't take much for them to change their minds. He might have been safer at Hibs. Watch for the smoke.

Pity Tom English hadn't been there to balance things up a bit and bring unbiased reason to the proceedings.

"These comments weren’t intended to be a slight on the club or their fans" Oh yes they were.

Vienna's a nice town. Get Spiers out of it.

The Latin inscription is a good idea. All the Romans will be able to read it and feel bad.

You can bequeath shares to whoever you want.

High Commissioner is scarcely a dram at all.

'taint broke, don't fix it.

If they're going to these lengths you'd think they would send a decent dram.

Wrong. One 'bus daily. Departs 25.00. Never returns.

Leicester - McGuire - Hull? Never heard of any of them.

Southampton looking for a manager.

Burns never did anything as good as that. In fact, did he do anything good at all?

He's beeen there before, has he not? Nothing personal against JR but I hope his club plummet down again.

Bobby Evans? Good wing half and decent centre half in his latter days but better than Young, Woodburn, Wright, Charlton, Terry and umpteen others never in a madman's dream. One of the wingers has to be Tom Finney but otherwise fair enough except this eleven is better. Seaman Armfield Wright Woodburn Caldow Finney Greig Dalglish Edwards Reilly Shearer I didn't pick Baxter, Charlton or Greaves because they're already in Motson's team. That's Alan, not Bobby Shearer btw.

Walterbear, the Supreme Court will trudge to its own decision on the basis of the submissions made at the appeal hearing. Neither side made any argument that depended on the outcome of the case against Whyte. I can't see any connection myself but if there had been the SC would have continued the appeal to hear further submissions from Counsel.

Simple answer is that the Jury was not up to the job. No victims, only rich guys and a football club. Let the wee guy off and get home for dinner.

And for afters, "Claudius the God". I thought the TV series was a pretty reasonable representation of the original unlike the rubbish they put out today.

He doesn't argue his case against PC. He may have a good one but he doesn't actually tell us what it is.

Bianconeri 2-1

Be honest, BH, you lifted that from FF. Seriously though, that's good stuff. I suspect you will have read "Count Belisarius" by Robert Graves. If not, away down to the library. Better still, buy it. Deserves to be on your shelves.

Since he aks, the answer is no.

I read the thread in #1. Sheepies excoriating Wiggy Milne and only slightly above lukewarm about McInnes. What a bunch of ingrates after a sccessful couple of seasons. By their standards, of course.

Dead right about Cazorla and Ozil.

I hope that's there change outfit. Normal kit blue and white stripes?
