Big Team St.Mirren forced into extra time by Airdrie.
Partick did come back into in the last 10 mins or so. Got a feeling this might go to pens.
Airdrie 1 - 1 St.Mirren extra time to play

ANYWAY that should have been a penalty for Airdrie. Big team bias by the ref saves St.Mirren.
Aye I go the team wrong. Not the first time that has happened!!
Airdrie 0 - 1 St. Mirren not Partick

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

Partick deserve to be 1 up. Airdrie are not out of this by any means though. They are playing some neat football, just lacking the killer pass in the Partick box.
Airdrie 0 - 1 Partick Thistle

Its Scottish Cup weekend.Raith are knocked out so no stress for me. Maybe a bit of stress for St Mirren fans as they head to Airdrieonians who might fancy a cup upset. Live on BBC Scot if you dont want to watch the Winter Olympics opening.

A few years back we were visiting Zakopane. It was mid summer and so rather warm. We visited the Olympic Sky jump there and were lucky enough to see some of the Ski Jumpers practising. Not sure who they were assuming they were Polish team. Quite something to see it from this view.

I think they are trying to attract the MSP's from over the road.
Talking of MSP having quick pint, used to see one or two of them sneaking up to the old Holyrood Bar when it wa just a boozer. Sometimes the BBC jorno's as well... They would lurk up the back...

I bet there is stoney silence from the majority of the US media. Or twist themselves into knots trying parse it as anything other than pure and utter racism which of course it is.
Just confirmed it myself by viewing the video on Truth Social. This is real. He really did this and he has not deleted it.
