A nation holds its breath... 10:16pm on 02 Sep 2008 Thanks Chic for that breakdown of what scotland will face on saturday.

So anyone elde know about these Macadonians. Mon the english what did you guys make of them? Who are the danger men? fast up front? Skillful play maker.

Have to say Burley has his work cut out for him. I don't think he knows his strongest side particularly up front. Miller boyd mcfadden Maloney. WHo we going to play on Left midfield. Would go for. Gordon back 4 naismyth mcmanus caldwell and mcnaughton. midfield of Mcfadden hartley brown and fletcher up front in the hole miller and Boyd up front.

Boyd should be itching to prove himself to walt and/or get a deal away in January. Miller bags of energy. Mcfadden on left for some trickery is he fast enough?Brown and Hartley to win the ball and push forward. With a bit of craft from fletcher. Will he go for a midfield 5 though?

Mon the Scots.

My sympathies and thoughts also go to Dolans family.
Dose of long jump joy relieves Chambers headache 10:07pm on 13 Jul 2008 The fact remains that if you take a drug generally (de[pending on the drug) it will enhance muscle growth etc. If you do the work you will see the benefits, i.e 20% muscle growth than a non drug taker.

If you are banned for two years and still train chances are you are still going to have that 20% extra muscle. Therefore even though you have done the time the advantages are still with you. If I was done out of a place going to Bejing and had worked for the last X years trying to get there I would take out a injunction on Chambers going on the basis that he is still enhanced. Tis more like the guy who drove drunk then writes a book about his experience.

It is not restraint of trade as Chambers can still compete in the IAAf golden league etc. The only destinction would be that he would not be allowed to go to the olympics/worlds as part of a british team. Am not sure but as we have had south africans in the past as part of team GB Chambers should have gone to another countries team with a more relaxed policy.

Yes other countries don't have the same ruling but if we are to compete on a level field then the BOA ban is required. 2 year bans are insufficient for erradicating drug taking. the counter claim is that athletes would be unable to make a living but as per the drunk driver that would be the chance you take. If you drink and drive you may lose your job due to not having a licence. I have no sympathy for chambers. His comments following on being caught saw to that. He knew the rule as part of the GB team.

His timing is also questionable. It is clear that he believed he would never return to athletics but american football and rugby league didn't work out. He then has to come back to athletics the sport he damaged, makes a few contrite comments then expects it all to be great. damages more young athletes by taking a place on the team. Sets up a bad atmosphere in the camp and the whole team is affected. I don't care if he is the best we have his affect on the team will lead to worst performances adverse pressure and may well affect other athletes performance.

The injunction should fail at least on a moral standpoint. Athletics is self governing so I hope his case is thrown out.
Sex, Lies and Merchandise 4:29pm on 15 Jun 2008 Hi all

As unfortunately I am a bit short for time I was wondering if the BBC are going do a written version of the latest film reviews. While Mark is no doubt a good resource and enjoying his video blogs it might be good for those of us in a rush to be able to quickly scan a few lines see if we like the sound of it then go to the cinema.

Both the videos and written formats would be good. I am no doubt going to be pointed to where this written format is but I will be jiggered (technical term) if I can find it.

Cheers

Ps sex and the city reason for celibacy?
Olympic countdown - 70 - It's a bullseye! 00:19am on 31 May 2008 Excellent mon the archers......

When are the beeb doing features on these un sung heros? Sponsorship etc must be hard for athletes with the highest of profiles let alone those at the other end of the scale.

Mon the brits mon the pbs mon the eric
Why athletics can only keep believing 00:08am on 31 May 2008 Anyone know if Pettigrew admitting to taking a banned substance will lead to the relay team getting the gold?

Looking forward to the olympics will be interesting to see the knock on affects of the Balco affair and the affects on the American team.

On the other hand can't see us doing well in the athletic arena. Hopefully sailing cycling and swimming will give us the medals. Would be great to see some success on the track. Mon the triahletes might be our best chance now with Paula injured (best wishes by the way)

Anyone else have some thoughts on where our medals will come from? Boxing?

Mon the brits. Mon the PBs. Mon the eric
