Walking into the Sports Cafe in Glasgow tonight to meet BBSers Marshy and Gosling I can’t say I was particularly optimistic about the ninety minutes that was ahead of us. That didn’t really improve when the sleepy abode refused to …

Great, just like two years ago. Another bad time to pick to play badly at home in the first leg of a play-off semi final.
