@TheTennisTalker Dan Evans ... Lord knows he deserved it.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

@PenicuikAth Good luck Struan

@RobbieHorn77 A scandal Robbie ... the @SPFL doing the 'old pals' act and compromising sporting integrity (not for the first time) .. and while I am on it ... why did @BrechinCityFC get 'invited' to play in the League Cup and @Clydebank (also runners up in a tier 5 league) did not ?

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

I was at @BarclaysHampden yesterday with my old mucker for @ScotlandNT 4 @TheBlueWaveFFK 1. The visitors were impressive in the first half and opened the scoring. The game turned on the red card for Locadia. With 11 v 10 the Scots ran riot and set off for the USA in good spirits.

@TheTennisTalker I hope Fran gets in as it will free up another wildcard place

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

The much anticipated @SPFL title decider between @CelticFC and @JamTarts ends in chaos as Celtic fans invade the pitch and abuse Hearts players with the game still in progress. What will be the @ScottishFA sanction ? A fine ? Pretty sure it will not be a 3 point deduction.

@TheTennisTalker Unfortunately as many as it takes

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

It was @JamTarts 3 @FalkirkFC 0 in @SPFL Premiership last night. Good goals by Kent, Devlin and Spittal. The big story was in Motherwell where Celtic were awarded a 96th minute penalty to beat Well 3-2 and so make Hearts task to win the league on Saturday more difficult.

@BritishTennisUp Well done Alicia and many commiserations to the hard working Emily

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

It was @MotherwellFC 1 @JamTarts 1 in @SPFL last night. A result that probably means the title race goes to the last day of the season. Good to bump into @cemexlex and great to be on the @Orwellhearts bus with @KimEOgi1. The Orwell gang really know how to organise an away day !

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

What a night to be a Hearts fan! @JamTarts 2 @RangersFC 1 in the @SPFL Premiership. Great scenes inside Tynecastle and great beers in the @Goldenrulepub to celebrate. Hearts now tantalising close to breaking the 40 year old firm duopoly and winning the league. Come on the Hearts

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

Yesterday @PenicuikAth 1 @HutchisonVale 0 in @EastScotlandFA Prem Div. Cuikie missing 5 regulars but still managed to claim all 3 points - despite missing a host of good chances. Things looking good for 26-27 when I expect Cuikie and @DunbarUtd to be among the title contenders.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

Dunbar known as Sunny Dunny as it is statistically the sunniest town in Scotland. On Sat it lived up to its name. @EastScotlandFA match @DunbarUtd FC 4 @NittenStar1890 1 was played out under a blue, perfectly sunny cloudless sky. Always great to see the Seasiders in action.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

I was at @BonnyriggRose 1 @LinlithgowRose 2 in the @OfficialSLFL. Lithgae won the match and title but have been denied access to the pyramid play offs because the @SPFL board have denied Rose a period of grace to tick boxes to get a licence. Shocking ! Shame on the SPFL board.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

@Tartan_GHopper @LinlithgowRose Shocking ... once again those who run Scottish Football have shown that a desire to exercise power is their main motivation ... even when it goes against sporting integrity.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

@Tartan_GHopper @LinlithgowRose Please keep me informed thanks

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

A magical day on Sat for my good friend Colin Hutcheon and all the Hutcheon family. Colin's grandson Ryan and his son Nick were with Colin for @JamTarts 3 @MotherwellFC 1 in @SPFL. It was Ryan's first match. Someone will have to tell him it is not always like this at Tynecastle.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

Four seasons in one afternoon at @LiviFCOfficial yesterday. Snow, rain, hail and sunshine. @JamTarts were like the weather. Bright when scoring 2 great goals. In between some gloomy defending allowing Livi to get 2 goals. Only 1 point clear in @SPFL but still all to play for.

[Scotland to Wembley @donkinitex]

It is going down to the wire in @OfficialSLFL. With @clydebankfc and @LinlithgowRose both winning then @BonnyriggRose had to win. They did by 3-2 v @TheBravesFC. Good match reffed by a good female whistler. Can the Rosey win the title? Will Bankies be a thorn between two roses?
