Wimbledon...used to really enjoy watching the likes of Borg, McEnroe, Edberg, Becker, Goolagong, Navritilova, Graff. Now we have 2 drug cheats winning - Sinner "twice tested positive for clostebol, a banned anabolic steroid, in March of 2024"; "Iga Swiatek's case also caused some surprise, with the women's world No 2 accepting a one-month suspension in November after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine". Ben Johnson should be given back his gold medal.

It wasn't shirts, they've all got nameplates above their own section. The tour was enjoyable, the guide was very engaging and knowledgeable and getting up close to the Cup was great.

I did the stadium tour yesterday and in the home dressing room each player had his own named place but there wasn't any mention of Ambrose, Rubi, Jensen R. but Vinnie's was still there. Make of that what you will.

Did you watch that last game...read this morning that it lasted 4 hours 'cos of a wee bitty rain.

Isn't "turn coat" a reversible jacket?

That's brilliant...you should market it on, say, a scarf or a mug or even write it on a wall somewhere.

Didn't know you were still playing...not bad for a octogenerian.

My daughter texted me overnight (she's currently in Melbourne) asking if I was feeling confident, I replied that I have Samaritans on speed dial.

I'd agree we played well for the first 35 mins. And even at the beginning of the 2nd half looked like we were going to continue the same pattern...then Nisbet misses a simple chance - he could easily have taken another touch and lashed it into either side of the keeper - and suddenly instead of being 2 up within 10 mins we were 1 down. Why are we so poor in the 2nd half - not just today but for many games this season (last 3 games conceded 9 goals in the 2nd half, that's 9 goals in a game and a half) why do we seem to run out of puff after h-t? Also, why take off Nisbet? Even if he's running of gas, has had one leg amputated and is in a self induced coma he's still more likely to get a goal than Ambrose.

DU fans being on the pitch doesn't excuse our fans from ripping out a seat and throwing it onto the pitch. Had it hit a DU fan it would have been just as reprehensible and utterly stupid.

I did read your next sentence..you said he had a week to save his job, so if we lose on Saturday and get humped on 24th he's out (that's how I interpretated your wording phrase "he's got a week to save his job"). Apologies if that's the wrong interpretation but I've had a couple of consolation beers and then another couple and then 1 for the road.

Don't understand that - a week to save his job : so if we lose at DU and get spanked the following week he gets sacked he won't be here next season.

How weird was the refs positioning?

Because we'll win the cup happily.
