Cheers pal got it

Have you signed in to site as a member ? Could be because I use an I pad ?

Comes up forbidden access ?

Is there a link to the MNFC. Returns ,as I've been on their website but font see anything about birds times ?

Prob flew most of the race over water , well done stuart (hope u win it mate ) and all who have timed in .

I used to train here years ago until it became impossible hit after hit , hope you got them all Ricky .

Glad to hear you got your good hen back Gareth , was upset when I heard that it never came home , cracking pigeon , and well done to a great pigeon man in mike curry for looking after her and all the other pigeons that he comes accross .

All the best to you and John , hope you achieve your goal .

Just like to point out to u John , that these birds that migrate are WILD and feed in the wild only leave when the weather/wind is right for them and as someone else said we don't know how many make this journey , Your second point , well to me just disgraceful , sending birds just because their 2 yr olds , every top fancier will send yes but only if they think they are right to go not just because their 2 ,only properly prepared pigeons will make it in good time IF the weather is right ,then it's a LOTTERY .

Well done wee jake , another great guy , never a bad word from him either . Just like to say after looking through the result there's a lot of top top fanciers missing from the result . And how can u win a prize under 400 yards / min ?

Not looking good for racing this weekend , hope it changes . Low pressure dominating our weather .

It's David that does the birds now as his dad billy,s no in the best of health these past few years , an absolute gentilman in the sport never a bad word to say about anyone . Well done d,d. And everyone else that timed pigeons this very poor weekend for distance pigeon racing ( returns wise) .

Not one in section D on lib line Lewis , very strange indeed .

That's an old wan rab, Two black guys standing on a pier waiting on a ferry , when one said I need a pi sh. , the other said just pee into the water , so he carries on the other decides to do one as well , the first one says fk me that water is cold the other says aye and it's no very deep either .

Aye guys but a lifetime ban would be for internationals , he would be able to play fir his club , even a two year ban the same thing . He was playing for his country ,why take it out on his club ? Brilliant player. And only the other day was named as Scotland's player of the year by rab STB . . Why does he keep doing this .?????

I see he's at it again biting one of the Italian defenders , shocking , great player but that is not on .

100% correct bigda , the only bit you missed is , once they get a new coat and they get paired up to the same kind they take a couple of youngsters out of them , ground hog day springs to mind ????.

Well done , great to see fanciers helping others out , there's not many like you mate , again well done

After reading some of the reports on this weeks Lanarkshire race I feel my stomach turning , I hate to hear of bad races , I know some love it when it's not them , but the east isn't brilliant by any means , but think if and when Lanarkshire do go back over think we should be looking at joint libs after say 200 miles all coming into the same area, but the main thing is ,being a race controller , is it's murder trying to get birds up when u sit with 4/5/6 Feds all wanting to go north and the same or more wanting to go south just up the road , if u wanted the sky's to yourselves u would need to sit till afternoon each week ,and when it's a 7/8/9 hr race u can only wait for so long , that would sort the clashing problem , the BOP problem well , my opinion is stop race our babies when they have theirs out of the nest , either race youngsters earlier or not at all for a while and stop feeding these murdering bassa,s that's all we,re doing every year . Rant over carry on ??????

Most don't know how much time and effort we put in Peter .its nice outside why aren't the birds up yet ,enjoys yer birds davie .

This losing birds especially young birds isn't a new thing , it's been happening since no long after I started the birds in 1977 , Renfrewshire fed. Tried right on the west coast because of huge losses , I remember. Siloth ,sebergam. As race points that was in the eighties , tried just about every race point to start with like Dumfries , Annan , eagles field , locharbriggs ,locharbie u name it they were all bad race points maybe not all the time but we had losses at each of these points . BOPS are a huge factor on both sides , and clashing on the east , mainly because of the north roaders not giving a flying. F__k about us , they tell you one thing and do another , a blatant fk you sort of thing , there should be someone in charge of libs and anyone not playing the game should be delt with ,then it would stop and we would possibly get better races .
