The day was taken up with football. The Edinburgh derby saw Hibernian struggle once again against a Heart of Midlothian side, a side so full of young players it was almost the Under 20's! The Hearts played the better of what football was on offer yet failed to get the ball past the lucky Hibs goalie. Lee Griffiths, as clear a product of Leith that you will ever come across, did manage to put the ball past Jamie MacDonald in the Hearts goal. It gives me tears as I tell you the Russian linesman at the side did not notice the ball had crossed the line, by a yard! Not for nothing do Scottish officials find themselves sponsored by 'Specsavers!' I am myself not in favour of 'goalline technology' as the game has managed fine, bar the English cheating in '66, without it until now. Better placed courageous officials are all that is required. Still, looking at the reactions of the Hibernian faithful I must say, it's a giggle, innit?
