They were looking pretty good on Alba today, Rob. The last 15 mins were a bit more nerve wracking mind you. Still, second is good.

St Mirren 2 Brechin City 1 1-1 at the break,won it on 78 mins,top of the league

So after 53 games and 13 years, Eric, the St Mirren jinx, attended a game and the Buddies took all three points. Eric showed up on Danny Baker's show on 5 today and was also on BBC Radio Scotland's 'Off the Ball', during which he said he stayed away from the League Cup Final Triumph against Hearts for fear that the jinx would ruin their chances. My Uncle Bobby used to tell me I was the jinx, cos they never won when I went to Love Street. It was only years later that I found out they never won whether I was there or not. Who cares?...top of the league...avoided banana skin! etc etc etc

Interesting results in the FA Cup. Could be a forum derby in Q Round 4 guaranteeing a 1st Round proper. I don't know the anatomy of the QR4 - I assume Vanarama National join, but does it also become national rather than a N/S dividecat this point? Answers please from anyone in the know!
