Great 2nd half from us. Rigo made a huge difference when he came on. When he's had a few more games, he's going to be massive for us. Happy with a point

To be honest, my main worry is Bocat. Ok going forward, but frightens me defensively πŸ˜‚

Didn't see that starting line-up coming along. Hope he knows what he's doing

Not sure how we didn't win that today. Superb second half performance. I thought Seko, in particular, was outstanding πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great to enjoy watching us playing good football once more.

I can't recommend this book too highly. Beautifully written, engaging and fascinating. How history should be written

I can't quite believe this. They should be locked-up for encouraging this level of hate 😑

Great result #scfc Brilliant in the first half but seemed to run out of steam in the second. Pearson & Lawal were particularly good. Great to see us playing exciting football
Minor winge - I wish Johansson would stop this habit of kicking it long when we are under pressure. It just comes back to us

Less said about that performance the better #scfc.
Can't remember us putting a foot in in midfield until Pearson came on. Too many passive performances. Hope we have got it out of our systems now.

Indeed. The murder is almost a backstory. How it is perceived and written about through the centuries is quite revealing about society's perceptions of love, fidelity and morals of each generation.

I must admit I was unaware of the events on 7th April 1779 when James Hackman shot Martha Ray. A quite sensational murder that gripped society at the time and has continued to fascinate people through the centuries. This book recalls the event and focuses on that fascination.

Yes, so many history changing events starting in the same year: divorce laws, medical regulation, Darwin finalising The Origin of Species and the agreement to control the sewage of London. It also reveals the embarrassing behaviour of the elite πŸ˜‚

Great bit of news yesterday when the Planning Inspectorate kicked-out the council's plans to build 125 houses on greenbelt land at the bottom of my garden, as well as rejecting plans for about another 50 in the village.

I suppose he has to say positive things, but they were dreadful in the first half and not much better in the second

I'll take that for a season opener. Well done #scfc πŸ‘πŸ‘
Good performances all round. Peach of a cross from Seko. Lawal is as good as a new signing

What an excellent book this is.
The land battle in Normandy is so well documented, but I knew almost nothing of the Navy's experiences before, during and immediately after the landings.

Worked in Dundee for about a year, but never ventured north. HMS Discovery was brilliant, so may give that another visit
