Congratulations to Kilmarnock FC U-18s in winning the Scottish FA Youth Cup. Excellent performance by Chris Burke’s boys and some with potential big futures in the game. Great to see first team squad supporting the boys. Credit to Dundee Football Club U-18s in reaching final.



Had a wonderful day Gourock Golf Club for the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Spring Golf outing. Picturesque course in excellent condition and staff very accommodating. Well done Robert Grieve on being champion golfer of the day!


The credibility of Sky Sports Ref Watch is questionable on Scottish match incidents. Dermot Gallagher totally unaware of what actually happened with VAR at Rugby Park on Dundee Football Club penalty claim. He said “ref went and had another look and said no penalty” . Really!!!!!

Sad to hear former Celtic Football Club chairman Jack McGinn has died. A lovely man who was very kind to me in my younger days. Sincere condolences to the whole McGinn family and friends.

No wonder that audience member was annoyed at the nonsense coming from the SNP MP on paying more taxes in England than Scotland on BBC Debate Night Another topic he didn’t know a great deal about. Why wasn’t he challenged by the chairman?

Now we’re getting the “water level “ worry warning on BBC ScotCast (p) . We’re a blooming island - what surrounds it???

Hope you’re having a great night David Kerr celebrating East Kilbride FC success. Well done to all!


Brilliant!!! They’re playing Barry Manilow’s “Can’t smile without you” over the tannoy at UEFA Europa League final.






There’s a brawl going on between players in UEFA Conference League final and we get pictures of fans in the stands from match director?

Watching BBC Debate Night shows what is wrong with this country - so called politicians!

Did anyone have a bet on first throw-in will be within 10 seconds of kick-off in UEFA Champions League final ?
