The Football.....

Yesterday saw the season opener in Borders League Division B at Runciman Park, Earlston - the pitch was in pristine condition. Unfortunately it was a 1-4 score line, thanks mostly to the 'keeper getting sent off in the first half (and the ref then awarding a penalty for the foul which was a good couple of feet outside the box.)

Good crowd I see

There was at least 20 there by the time KO came round

I thought it might have been half time in the picture, with the fans and players queuing at the pie stall.

I am going to the Mestalla on Wednesday night, a CL game Valencia v Monaco. The tickets were on sale to ST holders only for 4 days so I didn't think I'd be able to get 2 for me and my lad. I logged on Wednesday morning and got 2 of the last remaining, cost? €12 each!

Some folk in Scotland are upset about Nathan Oduwa's attempt at a trick.

I'm really not sure why, his attempt at a rainbow is a fail and he ends up on his arse having conceded a free kick. I suppose they needed a story about Rangers that didn't highlight a team spunking millions to win part time leagues...

BT Sport seem to have assembled a dream team of people I cant stand, Lineker, Hoddle, Ferdinand and the crown jewel, Michael Owen, who has stolen Steve Davis boring moniker. Its that bad I sorry for Scholes, still, Owen has given some laughs over his brief stint

Its really funny I don't seem to mind paying Sky for the football, but I can't stand the thought of paying for Champions League from BT.

My team won their first match of the season last night . http://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2015/08/stanley-mansfield-2/ Ten players booked and a mass brawl at the end.

I resent paying Rupert Murdoch for anything.

Sadly, my burd had already got Sky afore I moved in.

Much Oduwa about nothing.

And you're right, it was rubbish anyway.

Indeed he is if he is found to be guilty

True but there can't be that many Nissan Skylines around his gaff. My guess is that he'll plead guilty and his lawyer will argue that he needs to use a car for work. And I hope the prosecutor mentions that he can afford to use a cab from now on.

Footballers have a long history of drink driving. You'd think clubs would learn and give them bus passes, or better yet - bicycles. Keep the players fit, promote sustainable travel, bit of a green bonus.
