    Slightly different direction but just wait for the Election run in when the Assassinate Labour campaign begins.

    Injunctions should be for information like this, not for Ryan Giggs to hide him shagging his brother’s wife.

    As a cancer sufferer my heart goes out to him. Whilst I understand why he may wish the privacy, there are other issues to consider.For him not the media. Chris is a public figure just like king Charlie and making his condition known to the wider public can send a wake up call to men. Men are rubbish at going to doctors to get things checked out. “It’ll be relight” comes to mind, it won’t. Many cancers can be sorted if they are diagnosed early. A man dies every 45 minutes from prostate cancer. That death rate would diminish inordinately if men would get checked out sooner. I know from personal experience.

    Hard lines mate, though tbf it was an absolutely cracking goal. Looks like a nervy run-in for you and Raith!

    Really like your green away kit, though I have absolutely no idea who thought it would be a better idea to wear on Friday it than your home shirt.

    As the saying goes for men of a certain age - "you either die from prostate cancer, or die with prostate cancer".

    Absolutely mate. I believe I’ll have no nails to bite come May.
    As for the green kit. I hate it. Not a fan of the colour green. The kit was to celebrate changing our name from Hibs to United 100 years ago.

    Worked with Chris many, many times down the years. You could not meet a nicer, more engaging bloke. One of our greatest ever Olympians, but the most humble I know. Ever-present for our curry nights on cycling trips. This was such awful news, but knowing Chris, he'll absolutely smash the ba$tard.
