Even stevens between Stenhousemuir vs Falkirk at the moment. It might come down fitness of full time players vs part time as the game goes on.

Proper footy on BBC Scot the nicht.

I had a work colleague who played for Stenny back in the 2000's. His claim to fame he was in one of the Football Manager game squad lists.

The owner of Leith Diggers was telling that for some reason the cost of getting sport channels was a lot more in Leith than it was in Gorgie. Baffling. There is no doubt a good reason..not.

Just had nice chat with the owners of what will be Leith Diggers. They were outside painting the exterior. Spared their blushes by not taking their photo. Pub opens next week.

Books are being challenged in Scottish schools. Librarians fear a 'chilling effect' on freedom of speech
Dozens of complaints about reading material in school libraries have been received, with campaigners warning that "book bans" could increase.
