Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland.

Isn’t that just one part of the absurdity of it - the flawed bigoted logic FWS applied has always been focussed against trans women, conveniently omitting trans men and the bonkers outcome that they can access women only spaces on the grounds of biological sex…

Also had a feeling starting all five first choice centre backs might backfire with injuries…but can’t fault that gameplan and the 2-3 build up. Worked a treat, until πŸ€•

FFS. Before the game, I just didn’t want to get slaughtered so I would have taken 2-2 or 2-3. But leading with 4 mins to go? 😞

A suited Joe Corrigan and I stood together talking behind a hospitality table. He’s several inches taller than me, and I’m looking up, and feeling bit emotional.

Congrats to Joe Corrigan MBE!
I first met Big Joe on my 9th birthday in 1981. My first city game. We lost. He made my 6’2” Dad seem small and I remember him better than I remember the game. On a birthday treat a few years back, it was a lovely surprise to meet him again.

Gundo the one downside so far tonight. I loved him from the start (when others didn’t) but maybe you should never go back. He just doesn’t quite look his old self. Just older…

Very little - enjoy it while it lasts! We’ll see less control, more chaos - some will like the extra jeopardy - but I don’t think we’ll win as much.
