Just Sir Alex Ferguson and Falkirk striker Farid El Alagui sharing a moment outside what
appears to be an air-raid shelter...
Pies says: "Sir Alex's smile begins to fade as a fifteenth consecutive game
of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' ends in a draw"

Saturday 15th October 2011.
Celtic, fresh from a defeat at Tynecastle, are 3-0 down at half time to Kilmarnock.
Winning the title looks a long way off, Neil Lennon's managerial coat seems to hang on an ever
shooglier peg.
They came back to draw 3-3, three goals in a 10 minute burst from Anthony Stokes and Charlie
Mulgrew salvaging a point.
Falkirk face Celtic in a semi-final knowing that Kilmarnock lie in wait in the final.
It's the 1997 Scottish Cup all over again. History doesn't repeat itself, does it?
Mind you, Falkirk don't have the best of records in the league cup. They qualified for the second
final back in 1947/48 and promptly lost 4-1 in a replay against Second Division East Fife.
Per the offal: "Fulham FC can confirm that Keanu Marsh Brown has today left the Club by mutual
consent."
Never played a minute for the first team, but was on the bench for those memorable wins over
Shaktar, Juventus; a few other random Europa Games. Had a pretty productive spell at MK Dons the
second-half of last season, and even played a part in the Dons' playoff run.

Manchester United's long serving manager is considered to be one of the best in the world. He is
at the helm since 1986, and presently has no signs of retiring.
Alexander Chapman "Alex" Ferguson currently has 12 Premier League championships, and helped beat
Liverpool's 18 league championships in 2010-11 season.
Edinburgh City v Irvine Meadow in the Scottish Cup today.
And, it seems, a City debut for Russell Latapy.
A remarkable signing. A union, fittingly, sealed in an Edinburgh nightclub.

1961. Scotland continue to just about hold their own the world stage. But not when it counts. The
Sixties have dawned on the back of two chastening World Cup experiences. The decade will go on to
swing but its major championships are denied a tartan tinge.
In November 1961 Scotland travel to Belgium for a World Cup qualification match against
Czechoslovakia.
When Stoke City play Manchester City on Saturday, it won't be the first time that the two
sides have met at the end of the season. David Mayor reports on two very different sets of
emotions.
When my team, Manchester City, face Stoke City at Wembley this Saturday, it will, many of my
nearest and dearest would say, be the biggest City game I've been to.
Outwardly benign, really rather malevolent.
Inviting your enemies round for a house party is a nice gesture. Until they realise that most of
the guests have only turned up to celebrate your achievements.
Cruel that.
Spare a thought for Falkirk's fans. Off the pace in the First Division title race, financially
suspect, offloading players here, there and everywhere and stuck with a divisive manager for
another season.

Bizarrely enough Kenny Milne, once of Hearts, Cowdenbeath, Partick Thistle and Falkirk, is given
the full Wikipedia treatment.
The entry begins:
Milne endured a difficult upbringing in life and was raised and looked after by a pack of wolves in
the Scottish Highlands. The wolves are meant to be the only remaining one who still remain in
Scotland and the bond created between the wolves and Milne was said to have stunned the experts who
continued to watch this amazing real life Jungle Book story until they felt it was safe to remove
Milne from his adopted parents and move him onto human parents.
