Went a wee run down to Dullatur this morning. Nearly ran over five or six plus-four-clad fannies on the road down heading for the golf course. How come you always encounter these wannabe Tiger fuds on blind bends, or when another motorist is heading your way? At least three of the fannies had sponsors names written across their arse. I blame Colin Montgomery. Nearly made me late home for the leaders going out at Versailles. Not happy. Get it sorted MacPherson.

Glad Les Francaises did push the boat out a bit for the 100th edition of Le Tour. Thought Team Sky made a nice gesture to come in as a team, l don't think that has been done before, certainly not since l started watching it in the 7ts. Froome made a great speach at the end too and you just know that he and Quintana will be fighting it out in years to come.. Some really good coverage from the ITV4 team , l'll take my hat off to them . .

I take it , you preferred the wee Belgian guy that won it last year . Obviously , he wasn't the first Belgian , tho'. .

So the 100th edition of the Tour will be won , for the second time only , by a British rider . Wee Bertie , as expected(he is going like a puddin just now) will slip off the podium into 4th position overall with Quintana getting second. .

From Watt l heard , Motherwell are the hot favourites to be loaned his services. .

And , behold he snorteth on the wee white pooder. . man

. .featuring , the wonderful Rico Rodriguez and his unmistakable sound. .

Yeh, they were plagued by thunderstorms today in the mountains. When it rains in the Alps , it f**ken pours. So I think unnecessary risks were being avoided as the GC guys tended to group together as Rui Costa was allowed to slip off and bag , stage win nos2. . Now there are still only seconds between positions 2-5 , so I reckon there will be some last minute scrambling for position tomorrow and the likelihood being that wee Bertie loses his perch and probably a podium place too. . well . . here's hoping anyway. .

Penultimate day tomorrow , which is in the mountains again. Due to the rain today , no sign of attacks on the GC, but I reckon wee Quintana will make his bid for second tomorrow. . Froome , l reckon is now a stick on for 1st place . .

This tread has become uncoupled, derailed , off -topic and is heading towards Madness. .

Yeh , I believe Siddelly , finally went mad and they had to shoot him. . Failing that , you can always pm lovestreet for a more detailed break down of what actually occurred. .

. .zee Germans were always good at propaganda. .

Yes, it was . . Looks like Quintana will probably beat wee bertie now and get second. .

Some fans are saying it was 17-0, and some fans are saying we were lucky to get anything out of the game. .

Och, l wanted to do that one. Anyway , as Keith Moon would say , let's have a bit of music. .

I think wee Bertie showed himself up on the trip to ,Gap. Despite several failed attempts to drop Froome , on the climb , wee Bertie then decides to attack Froome on the descent and ends up falling off out of shear desperation. As if that was not enough , he fails to take his turn on the front and then has a go at Quintana because he said that Quintana tried to get away from him when he fell off . Turns out wee Bertie has a short memory. . he is nearly as bad as that wee fella that comes on here. .

Performance Tyres , across the road from Brian Macaulands place (just off Abercorn St , I think). .

I was talking to Jas Gardiner today. He said "l was shite at Saint Mirren" so l said " Did Jimmy Bone say that to you ?" then JG said " No , he never said that , but plenty of the fans did. ."

. .just for a bit of a change , here's the facken Oo. .

I only watch it on the other channel because, despite being from Paisley and being a great guy , Brian Smith bores me and despite Sean Kelly being a great road man and a knowledgeable guy , he puts me to sleep after a bit. .

Whilst that is true, they gave us options and that Guy did do a job for us initially and big Sam did make a nuisance of himself up front at times. . Do we just forget it and have one striker at the club??
