It's the fourth round replay. Obviously not much else happening that night.

Match report on OS states that Elliott missed the game through illness. 'MacKenzie made one change from the side which started against Falkirk with match-winner Neil McLaughlin brought into the starting line up ahead of Christie Elliott, struggling through illness.'

I resemble that remark!

In a day of tributes from around the world, the most moving happened here in Glasgow. It was a sad day and when I heard this last night, I finally shed a tear. Thank you Christopher Nicol for using your recital to pay tribute to Bowie. And thanks to Gordon Wilson for having the presence of mind to get his phone out to record it. It has now been viewed 2.2 million times. http://m.eveningtime...nist/?ref=fbshr

Yes... Of course I knew that. The trouble is, at my age, one does sometimes... erm...

This from the BBC: Dundee's Scottish Cup fourth round tie with Falkirk has been postponed for a second time. The teams were scheduled to meet at Dens Park on Tuesday after Saturday's match was called off due to a waterlogged pitch. However, drainage issues have again rendered the pitch unplayable. With an area of the playing surface in need of excavation and relaying , a new date of 26 January has been set for the game.

Only if they change their name to Dundee Celtic or Dundee Newco.

Unbelievably crass from the BBC.

It's free, it's open to all and there is no prize. Predict the teams that will progress through the 5th round, the 6th, the semis and who will be the winner. Full details next week when we are down to sixteen teams. Limited to 50 players so get signed up now.

Bow as in arrow.

We win our first cup 45 years after we were formed. Win our second Scottish Cup(?) 45 years after winning the League Cup. Symmetry? What planet are you from? Oh

That was lifted from 'Laws of the game' on the SFA website. Don't know if there is a separate document from FIFA that provides interpretation guidelines. Was on the SFA site researching the Scottish Cup for something coming up. Maintenance and navigation on their site is crap. Perhaps the 'Laws' page is out of date... ETA: On their site, over the weekend, results of the cup matches were updated randomly. The Rangers result was up quite quickly even though some Saturday results weren't up at the time. This morning, all results are now up - except ours.

RIP David Bowie

It's a good habit!

I was hoping nobody would ask that question! We're a bit short staffed at Player Sponsorship HQ at the moment and there's quite a lot going on. Just don't think that it's practical. Sorry.
