State of the SPL – Part One
Back in August I previewed the SPL season, and I’d planned to update this when we were a quarter of the way in – after last weekend’s games.

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Ghost Pants
I always find the first line of these introductory pieces to be the hardest part, and this week was a lot harder than most. Trying to get any of you lot to pay any attention to me is difficult at the best of times, so for me to convince you to listen to the side […]
