Bravo MBT, pleased for you!

Wow, that ski half pipe final was fucking epic! Awesome watch

I'm not sure if the two are really comparable. Griffiths was still playing for Wolves during this period, but just wasn't really getting a shot. His goals ratio was reasonable for the number of performances. Even at Hivs. But I agree, I don't think Watt can be classed as an amazing talent.

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Apparently he shares the same agent as DM?

Sorry lencarl, can’t say I share your optimism at all! The only positive about this game is that they will be without brown apparently. However us being without shinnie is the biggest issue. We don’t have tactical nous nor the bottle to beat them. It’ll be a 4-0 win to them if we’re lucky.

Very hard done by in the women’s curling. Mental that they didn’t have a more sophisticated method of checking. Woods was extremely unlucky not to pick up a medal in the ski slopestyle. Brilliant effort. Very enjoyable final.

I've long suspected that this team is punching above it's weight. We're very fortunate, although it really looks like that's coming to an end, that the huns have been shite against lesser opposition and therefor haven't taken full advantage of pumping us 3 times this season. We've such a threadbare squad and a limited one at that. I wasn't making a statement regarding the tactics, I was more commenting on what Id read here and elsewhere. Hadn't watched the game so couldn't comment, but it hadn't surprised me that McInnes apparently adopted a defensive tactic due to the lack of squad depth. He doesn't appear to realise that he doesn't have the team to do that. This summer will arguably be bigger than the last for transfers.

Well I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised by that scoreline. No shinnie and we’ve all known we don’t have anything in midfield. Seems like it’s a 50/50 split as to whether chidi was any good but was more a tactical issue more than anything. That’s us only scoring twice in ten games (from open play) against hibs, hearts, septic and secco. Absolutely pathetic. The defensive setup doesn’t work in these games, when will he learn (it’s a rhetorical question, I already know the answer).

Couldn't believe it was the 29th mass shooting of the year. Americans are fucking idiots.

Glad to read mays back for this, if only to offer something a bit different. Can see this one being a really tough one as others have said. Having mcginn will be a big boost though so hopefully have enough to see it through. GMS is due his hibs goal 2-1 dons, mcginn and gms

I see Ross is in talks with Barnsley at the mo, that’ll put an end to him ever succeeding McInnes if he’s successful then.

Haha that didn't last long!

Men’s snowboarding half pipe. What a final. All three would have been worthy winners

Been thinking about this over the past few days. A tough one. I still deem success as silverware and in that respect, we've not done very well. However, given where we were pre- this era, it's hard to argue that it has been relatively successful. We perform on a far more consistent basis, get to finals, play in Europe (sort of). Could we do better? Most certainly. We've won one trophy but we're definitely due another. I suppose I should be grateful that I wasn't really aware of the dons during those early years of my life

\ Most premier league clubs (in new stadiums at least) have these hybrid Grassmaster pitches and have been using them for a while. Certainly not cheap but does help retain the grass growth better. A no brainer imo.

I enjoyed the whole series, but I get what you mean. My fiance only started watching half way through the series (yesterday) and managed to understand enough of it. The final few episodes were epic. Hard sun, i've watched one episode and looking to jump on that next. Looks like it could be a goodie. Is Derry Girls on BBc or elsewhere Mini?

So what’s the consensus on woodman? Is he shaky or is he just playing with a defence that’s all over the shop? He doesn’t look overly confident, although I did see him make a decent stop from McKenna? In the second half which prevented the third.

My bad, I caught the second half, well half watched anyway. Looked awful but clearly the first must have been far better?

Managed to watch some the snowboarding earlier today, great effort. Saw that motd Social media jumped on the fact that the winner was called red Gerard anyway, some insane moves. Sadly the rest of the events on the slopes were called off due to weather. But caught some of the figure skating and watching the long track speed skating. Awesome entertainment

1500 Motherwell fans at Dundee today Bbc obviously felt bad for Dundee as it seems they had us playing tomorrow

Some excellent football from spurs today, Goons lucky to only concede one. Certainly should have been more had it not been for cech.

Definitely my preferred olympics. Annoyingly due to the time difference I’ve missed most so far. Hoping to catch up tomorrow

Loses his battle with cancer at the ridiculously young age of 36. Obviously nothing to do with AFC but sad news nonetheless. Never quite hit the heights I thought he would as a player, but certainly travelled around. Thoughts with his family.

Decided to beat you lot to it this week Our old friends from down the road are coming to town on Sunday and it's live on Sky Sports. they're currently not on a great run of form, 5 wins from 10 (including cup) - having beaten Alloa in the last round 2-1. Of the head to heads, we've won 6/10. Not sure what to expect of them tbh be honest. We should be ok and have more than enough to see it through, especially now we have Mcginn back. Don't expect Arnason to be back alongside McKenna either. Don't think AOC had a great game the other week but he didn't have much to do. Out Bed Bed Bed 1-0 Dons, McLean
