Donald Trump has announced that he will be attending the pope's funeral service. Probably the first orange man to do so.

Och, maybe it's just me, but I really resent receiving emails signed off by an "entity" (eg "The SMISA Board") rather than being signed off by a human being who is an officer acting on behalf of that "entity" (eg Dave Smith, SMISA Communications Officer (or whatever)). It just feels to me as if Big Brother is talking down to the insignificant Common People. Maybe I'm too sensitive or maybe The SMISA Board lack the personal touch.

Wow, it costs £3.60 in my local (Mon-Thu) and £4.10 at the weekend.

Today I managed 70 minutes before heading for home. Absolutely Baltic and very little happening in the match to warm me up. It appears that I didn't miss anything by exiting early.

I had to laugh when I glanced at the "captioning" on Google for the highlights of this match. Up front apparently we had ....... O. Lasagne.

I didn't realise that St Mirren legend Vaklav Hladky was playing for Burnley nowadays.

According to the BBC Scotland News website, several sections of Cappielow's roofing have been blown away today by Storm Eowyn, presumably causing several £000s of improvements.

Former St Mirren defender Mihai Popescu currently playing for Steaeu Bucharest (FCSB) away to FK Qarabag in the Europa League.

I think it may be a 3-2 victory for United from 3rd November 1984.

On tv right now, ITV4 is showing 'The Big Match Revisited' with football highlights from the 1980s. Starting with Sunderland v QPR, to be followed by highlights from Dundee Utd v St Mirren. No idea what the score was but it might be worth watching !

St Mirren legend on the bench for D&R tonight.

85 minutes played, St J 2 St M 1. Bet £1 draw at 6/1, and £1 St Mirren to win at 50/1. At 2-2, cashed out for £5.60. Full-time took £51 for 3-2. Woo f**king hoo.

Aye but, a draw tonight is the optimal result for St Mirren, so you should be delighted, eh ?

Just heavy rain in Glasgow East, no sign of any snow.

Is this fìxture in any danger because of "Bert" ? The emergency services are advising against travelling south from the north of Scotland.

This event takes place tonight. Fundraising initiatives include a silent auction for 16 lots. One of these lots is a signed, framed Celtic shirt. OK, the money raised for the sale of this item will go to a good cause, but surely selling it in the auction is an embarrassing blunder. Especially after the "Celtic Shop" fiasco.

This "fact" aged well.

Wow. Shocker. R.I.P. Alex.

Bunch of imposters. The drummer is the only original member still playing with them.

Ì saw Wishbone Ash at Strathclyde Students Union in 1974 or thereabouts. Decent enough on the night, but I'd seen quite a few better on that stage. Surely Mockingbird is their best known song.

Ex-Saint Hladky starting for Burnley at Wolves tonight.

Now 4-0. Baccus must be so pleased with his agent !!!

H-T score, English League 1, Ethan Erhahon XI 2 Keanu Baccus XI 0

Well let's hope the council get this nonsense fixed before we welcome Astana fans from Kazakhstan in a few weeks time.

One other thing ........ the commitment and togetherness of the players. You can see how much they are loving it. Everyone working hard for one another, something that's been absent for almost 40 years IMO. Long may we enjoy this feelgood factor. .
