The bear has landed

A great night out on Saturday. I think we looked like a team from an outsiders point of view.
I loved the SAS style Carnoustie live by.
''We are going to kick your arse Harris''. The voice resonating around the speedwell bar.

Well the art of surprise may be lost, but hey this is Rugby and maybe we are getting the idea. Telling your wife, girlfriend or even boyfriend ''Right honey that's me away to play a game of ruffty tufty rugby''. They don't realise, that not every man who walks out the door on a Saturday, is really playing rugby, by donning a strip and walking, jogging or even running around the park doesn't make you a player.

Now we seriously look like we are all turning up on Saturday to win games. This has implications for some of the above, who have decided to commit and come home with different shaped faces. Speaking of which, I went out with Scott Purdom two weekends ago. Talk about a change of face you can see he played to win.

Right back to the title ''The bear has landed'' Gavin Dissel a man of many talents as noted on Saturday.
Some people think if you play prop your not bringing much to the party. Well how untrue can that be. In my humble opinion, its only those and such as those who have the skills and hardness to play the position.
The prop is the source of everything in the modern game. Maybe in the past it was a position for ''big lads''. Well I hate to tell you this is as relevant to the modern game as dinosaurs are to mother Earth.
So Gavin Dissel is stepping into the breach. On Saturday night he was sitting at his arm wrestling table talking on all comers. I was one of the victims.
He said he wants to get into the team and he will do what it takes. Good on you Gavin.

Anybody score on Saturday?

After an onslaught of heavy golf ball fire. I was 10 over par by the time we got to the second pub.
Heather and I decided to have something to eat.We went to a Turkish. I looked at the menu and started to order , then said ''pint of lager''please. The look of the waiter was incredible. The sort of look you would get if you started to carve a pork roast at a bar mitzvah. Needless to say we left and told the Turks to shove it.
We nipped around the corner went to Zorba the Greeks kebab shop (its run by a couple of Turks) it was great.

Anyway back to the chase Alloa on Saturday a true test of team spirit.

Its hotting up on the comments page. I agree with the comments about criticism for some its harder to take,for me its been part of my life for 43 years. We are looking for positivity.

We are also looking for a Santa. Sorry Alex and Gordon your kind offer has to be refused.
