I get that winning is a big deal for the Raptors and their fans.

But come on, seven stories on CBC News’s front page about it?

This has been the featured article on Wikipedia for the past day or so, and the gent’s name is what caught my attention.

But what I really want is for someone to explain cricket to me without comparing it to any American sport.

Not possible. It’s a lot like ollamalīztli but with less hip action.

What is going on in Paisley?

Dutch forward Van Veen appeared in court on Thursday over an alleged three-year campaign of abuse against his ex-girlfriend, including violent and psychological attacks.

Jaden Brown was also in court on Thursday, and he admitted three charges under the Road Traffic Act.

The 25-year-old, who also joined the Saints in the summer, was caught driving while disqualified and without insurance, having been banned by a court.

‘I’ve never met a club like you before’ – Scottish singer-songwriter Edwyn Collins shows support for Bunillidh Thistle as club wins first game in four years

To be fair, Bunillidh stopped playing football at the start of covid and only rejoined their league this season, but things have not been going well.

They play in the same league as Fort William, who famously went 840 days without winning a league match.

Wigan v Carlisle too. Instead we lost 2-0 in extra time because Gabriel Breeze was at the wrong end of the pitch looking for an equaliser.

Not that I’m blaming Breeze, that tactic worked great 25 years ago with Jimmy Glass. He should be promoted to first choice keeper after his performance in goal against a team who I expected to win easily.
