The snow board cross or whatever it is called is probably the most exciting sport I have seen......and I speak as having Curled for the Highland Brigade!

Did they leave you out in the sun ?

Rameses mentioned Lowland Scots as a dialect and it deserves a response.

Scots Gaelic receives lots of funding, and, whilst it is a wonderful part of our heritage, it has been weaponised.

The SNP are promoting it in areas where gaelic has never been spoken and it a pretty unsubtle attempt at showing how "different" we are from the English.

Meanwhile, Lowland Scots, Doric and various other dialects are ignored, and realistically there are probably more Polish and Urdu speakers in Glasgow than there are Gaels.

Not to mention the case for Klingon and Elvish.....

Our hopeless speed-skater needs to find another job though!

Yes I know Heb, but for all these minority sports the Olympics is really "where its at" so to speak and she's consistently failed.

I wonder if she gets lottery funding?

............ and she'll melt the ice if she cries much more.

Still no broken bones, so she can fall over in her next (and I understand strongest) event.

So would you and 666 as a double-act be like Laurel & Hardy?

OK then. Kick off time in the Champ.

Forest match thread up to 70.

Well, it is the local relegation dog-fight.

Villa are without Grealish. Calf injury, will be a big miss for them.

Swindon equalise at home to P Vale.
Wonder if Peeder is there ?

Forest down to 10 v Burton.

Cardiff 1 up.

Down to 4th.
Rowett out !

"Get to HT without conceding and get it sorted out in the dressing room" - El Bosque

They couldn't sort out a bag of marbles

Fulham have 71% possession in the first half, difficult to see how Villa can come back from that sort of mauling.

Meanwhile, at Burton, 10 man Forest losing 60/40

It sounded like a bad tackle on Lichaj just before he was sent off. He may have had to go off injured anyway.

That's what you call 'clutching at straws'
