Monday night football works in England, always good to have something to watch after a wknd of sport but for some reason the idea has just never taken off up here.

Would have loved for the Hibs game to be even a half 12 kick off this afternoon rather than having to wait till Monday, find myself very bored even watching the Ryder Cup..

Is football not why Saturday's were invented?

I get the hands are tied but a Monday night??

Booooo

how's everyone else spending their wknds? I need some inspiration

Are you Edinburgh based?

Walk in the Pentlands? Few cracking walks up there ranging from an hour or 2 to a whole day if the fancy takes you.

That's my plan aswell BH, the last big tidy and cutting of grass before the winter hits. I'm on my 3rd week of no booze after glandular fever, docs told me a month but reckon I'll be sinking a couple today :greengrin

Never agree to that without receiving the bribe of a trip to the café for meatballs.

Am down on the lovely Island of Arran (Scotland in Minature ) Weather sunny so outdoor walks and taking pictures of wildlife In thier natural habitat.otters seals Dolphins eagles and deer .Lots of nice pubs and restraunts .Plenty of golf courses but don't play so will watch bits of the Ryder Cup iWill finish reading the Goldfinch by Donna Tartt Will watch some football with the father in law.

For anyone who hasn't been to Arran would recommend it It's less than a n hour on ferry fromArdrossan . costly to take car across nearly 100 quid but prices are about to come down by nearly 50% so never a better time to explore the Island.

Walk with the eldest along the beach to Lower Largo but back in time for the Merseyside Derby.
Once that's finished watch the road cycling race on BBC2.
Then an early tea and out for the Arsenal Spurs game with tail end of Ryder Cup.

All with a few alcoholic beverages.

Haddington VS Blackburn juniors at 2:30 if you want your football fix, should be a good game.

It's Lower Ronnie. The pub incidentally is called The Crusoe!!
Cracking day here along the coast.
Going to work up a thirst! :-)

There is a pub/hotel called The Upper Largo but that's went a wee bit down hill recently. Food has taken a wee turn for the worst IMHO.

I spent the weekend in Brussels topped off with watching last nights game in Platform 5 (surprised at the number of Hibs fans in there) on the way home, thoroughly enjoyable.

Just read this. One of the worst things a man can agree to is going to ikea.Not only do you waste a day going you waste even more days building furniture items.

Was in Platform 5 as well last night it was great, lots of hibs fans and the pub had a decent atmosphere considering its a "chain". Food is really good as well!

We were sitting at the first table on the left as you go through the door, the wee cockney boy with the flat cap on was beginning to get a bit tedious towards the end of the game, stating that I liked The Hammers wasnae my best move! :-)
