The history of sport is festooned with great sporting comebacks. The 2005 Champions League Final for example, or the Miracle In Medinah in 2012 or even Rocky Balboa defeating Ivan Drago in Rocky IV back in 1985. Each and all are solid-gold nuggets of sporting achievements, but none of them surpass Stenhousemuir’s jack-...
3-0 down and with apparently all hope gone, they threatened to make a game of it just before half-time when Colin McMenamin lobbed Blue Toon goalkeeper Graeme Smith from a quite improbable distance. The second-half belonged to just one man, however.
Jason Scotland dragged the Warriors across the winning line, nabbing their second before rifling home the equaliser from the edge of the box, side-stepping umpteen challenges in the process in a manner that most Roy of the Rovers enthusiasts would have regarded as far-fetched.
In the unlikely event that Jason Scotland never scores for Stenhousemuir again, his contribution on Saturday alone would justify his signing.
If there can be such a thing as a must-win game before November has even arrived, then Hibernian versus Rangers was probably it. Not for Mark Warburton’s Magic-Hatters right enough, their previously-perfect start to the campaign meant they could afford a slip-up or three, but definitely in the case of Hibs.
The Leith side’s 2-1 win may just have planted a kernel of self-doubt in the minds of the Rangers players, whilst simultaneously bolstering the resolve of Stubbs’ Stormtroopers.
Jason Cummings was understandably wheeled out to speak to the press, not just because he isn’t shy about coming forward, but because he’d also managed to spank a fantastic opener past the future England Number One, Wes Foderingham.
However, Alan Stubbs elected to eulogise over the influence of John McGinn, who for the second week running was the best player on the park, showing an intelligence and vision that wasn’t always on display at St Mirren. Admittedly though, it’s trickier when you’ve got a spiky pole stuck in your leg.
We might just get a Championship title race, yet.
It was only last week that this very Top-Ten list pointed out that Rory McAllister’s exceptional personal form was being undermined by the Blue Toon’s bum-season, and Saturday was surely the perfect example.
3-0 up and cruising at half-time, they somehow ended up taking nothing from a game which appeared done-and-dusted at the interval after a magnificent display from Big-Mac.
It’s been obvious all season that Stenny’s defence has been their Achilles heel and it was almost the case again on Saturday, with McAllister at times resembling an adult who had gate-crashed a kids game, bullying opponents left-right and centre.
His goal-glut on Saturday took his tally for the season to 17. Ridiculously, it still counted for nought.
You may not be aware of it as neither the club nor their fans like to make a big deal about it, but Raith Rovers once took the lead against Bayern Munich.
I know what you’re thinking, “jeezo, they kept that quiet.” Well, Saturday was the 20th anniversary of that proud achievement, and what better way to celebrate it than being utterly bodied by Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with the additional bonus of listening to The Macarena every time a goal goes in. Wunderb...
Big Jordan White was the main man once again, scoring twice as Rovers ran in arguably their worst performance of the season, while Livingston simultaneously turned in one of the better ones.
The 3-0 win lifted Livingston to seventh place in the table, their highest placing all season.
Rovers fans however, could console themselves by looking at a framed picture of a scoreboard from 1995.
While a plethora of teams have been mentioned in the League Two equations this season, Montrose, seemingly whilst no-one was looking, have crept up into second place in the table.
It shows just how even the division is that Montrose can sit so close to the top, despite losing almost as many games as they’ve won this term. Indeed, since the last weekend of August, they’ve lost every other league game.
Paul Hegarty was understandably delighted with his players efforts, but he perhaps should have reserved a special mention for Fraser, who scored two and set up another in a one-sided contest.
The defeat was a loss too far for the Berwick board, who elected to bring the curtain down on Colin Cameron’s tenure as Berwick manager in the aftermath of the match. Look out for him popping up at a Junior venue near you soon.

Piers Morgan takes down Meghan Markle for "ghosting" him, calls her a "ruthless social climbing actress"
Actor Timothee Chalamet said he cried after watching Christopher Nolan's space masterpiece 'Interstellar' as he realised that his role in the film was smaller than what he thought it would be.
The 'Call Me By Your Name' star played the younger version of Tom, the son of Matthew McConaughey's Cooper.
'Actors on Actors' series with actor Emma Stone, Chalamet said he felt like a 'fraud' while promoting the film alongside Nolan and co-stars Anne Hathaway and John Lithgo'w.
"When I did Interstellar, I saw it 12 times in theatres in IMAX. Christopher Nolan held a screening at Lincoln Square. I forgot about this. I really haven't thought about this moment until right now. It was surreal because it's a huge IMAX theater and I really had no career at this point, so I was like the fraud a litt...
"I saw it, and I loved it, but I went home to my dad and wept for an hour because I just figured my part was bigger. They didn't even cut anything. I just figured I don't know what I figured," he added.
Christopher Donnell FIFA Soccer 13 (PS3) While this year's changes aren't as drastic as in previous versions, EA's FIFA franchise just keeps getting better and better.
More realistic gameplay than last iteration. Skill Games allow improvement in play. Match Day feature enhances experience.
No drastic changes from last version. Motion game mode is unnecessary.
While this year's changes aren't as drastic as in previous versions, EA's FIFA franchise just keeps getting better and better.
With every new soccer season, comes a new FIFA title. The inevitable question for sports gamers is this: If you currently own the last FIFA title, is the latest version a worthwhile upgrade? While the changes in FIFA 13 are a bit more subtle than some of the new features introduced in FIFA 12, the latest edition repres...
The changes to in-game play are likely to be noticed most readily by avid players. EA Sports has tweaked the impact engine, which was introduced last year to produce lifelike animations when players collide. This generally worked, but occasionally had unintentionally hilarious results as hundreds of YouTube videos show...
I really found the new Match Day feature to be a welcome change. After all, the reason most die-hard soccer fans play FIFA is the fantasy aspect of wanting to play on the pitch. This feature takes current real world events and works them into the match day report and commentary. This helps tie even simple quick matches...
The new Skill Games address the previous editions' lack of any substantial training features. Since online players you encounter are usually extremely seasoned and this can make it hard to gain enough confidence to want to take them on. Fortunately, FIFA 13 has added these mini-games to allow you to hone your skills in...
Beyond those changes, you still have the same strong presentation that you've become used to in recent years. There are enough game modes to satisfy almost any whim. This includes career based modes, manager simulations and Ultimate Team where you can buy and sell players as virtual trading cards to create your team. E...
While it can sound like there isn't much new, the added polish and tweaks do combine to make this edition even better than the last. Of course superfans already have the game, but if you're interested in soccer, and are eager to take to the virtual pitch, you can't go wrong with FIFA 13.
Bottom Line: While this year's changes aren't as drastic as in previous versions, EA's FIFA franchise just keeps getting better and better.
WASHINGTON. — Federal agents on Tuesday broke up a billion dollar Medicare scam that peddled unneeded orthopedic braces to hundreds of thousands of seniors. Two dozen people were charged, including doctors accused of writing bogus prescriptions.
At 100, A French Newspaper Thrives — With No Ads And A Minimalist Webpage : Parallels Le Canard Enchainé is a fiercely independent weekly known for its incisive reporting and more than its share of scoops and bombshells. It continues to prosper with a format little changed since 1916.
Frenchman Jean Yves Boyer buys a copy of the French weekly Le Canard Enchainé, which marks its 100th anniversary this year. It sells 400,000 copies a week and is profitable, though it has no advertising and just a bare-bones webpage.
When a political scandal explodes in France, there's a good chance it's Wednesday. That's the day satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchainé hits newsstands.
The fiercely independent weekly, known for its incisive and derisive reporting and more than its share of scoops and bombshells, turns 100 this year.
Despite the economic downturn, changing media landscape and a print press crisis, Le Canard Enchainé continues to do well. Remarkably, it takes no advertising and has only a bare-bones webpage that often just summarizes what's on the print front page. Yet it turns a profit on the 400,000 copies it sells each week.
"My first reaction when I see something scandalous is to be indignant. My second is to laugh. That's more difficult, but it's more effective," said Maurice Marechal, who founded the paper in 1916, the bloodiest year of World War I.
The weekly was founded to push back against two imposing forces in France at the time: the military and the church, says media consultant Jean-Marc Illouz.
"The military was running the war and the clerical world was ruling consciences," he says.
Erik Emptaz, a current editor at the paper, says that during the war, "the official propaganda was that German bullets would pass right through your skin and wouldn't even hurt you."
Emptaz says the staff recently found a letter from a soldier writing from the trenches. At that time, Le Canard Enchainé was censored and white spots blanked out the forbidden news.
"This soldier said there was more to read in the blank spaces of Le Canard Enchainé than in a whole page of Le Matin, which was the official newspaper at the time," says Emptaz, laughing.
Emptaz attributes his paper's long, steady success to two things: its independence and its humor.
"French newspapers today don't face censorship but they have huge economic pressure," he says. "Our independence comes from the fact that we don't have advertisers. So we can write anything we want about anybody."
Emptaz says the Canard, as it is known, is neither on the right nor the left. "We are always critical of the power that has just been elected," he says.
The newspaper asks its correspondents and cartoonists to treat things seriously without taking themselves seriously.
"We never get outraged or say that something is scandalous," says Emptaz. "We have the facts and we simply stick to them and try to tell them in a funny and agreeable way."
On a recent Wednesday afternoon, retiree Jean Yves Boyer was picking up a copy of the Canard at his local Paris newsstand. Boyer says the clever wordplay in the headlines often makes him laugh out loud.
"When I want a bit of humor, but not just that, when I also want to be well-informed, I read the Canard," he says. "They have all the news and they're completely independent."
In 2015, the Canard made around $3 million in profits. This, at a time when most newspapers in France are subsidized. Emptaz says profits are put into a reserve for the paper to keep operating if it falls on hard times.
"We want to keep the Canard from falling into the hands of a financial group at all costs," he says, referring to the sales of two other major French dailies.
Le Monde was recently bought by high-tech entrepreneur and media mogul Xavier Niel. Le Figaro is owned by the French industrialist family Dassault, makers of the French military's Rafale jets.
Emptaz says the Canard's staff is a close-knit team of 30 or so reporters, and some freelancers. "We're like a big family. We work well together but we can also yell at each other," he says.
A few years ago Le Canard Enchainé was sued by industrial group Bouygues for 9 million euros because the paper had reported that Bouygues tried to influence a government bid for the construction of a new Defense Ministry building. Bouygues lost. The Canard asked that the company pay its court and lawyer fees and one sy...
One of Le Canard Enchainé's more famous scoops shook the very foundations of the French state. It concerned French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing accepting a gift of diamonds from Central African leader Jean Bokassa when he visited the African strongman in 1979.
"It was just a little line in the paper about how Giscard had offered himself some diamonds while on a trip to Africa. But he took it badly and protested," says Emptaz. "So we dug deeper. And we had the proof."
Many say the infamous Bokassa diamond affair cost Giscard d'Estaing the election. He was beaten by Francois Mitterrand in 1980. Emptaz, chuckling, says he'll never forget Giscard's words at the time: "I underestimated the force of derision."
Emptaz says it's hard to predict what's going to be a big hit with the public.
"We can publish a story about, let's say, telecoms monopolizing the market and pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars, and people hardly shrug," he says.
But when the paper recently revealed that President Francois Hollande's hairdresser earns $12,000 a month (an enormous sum for the French), the paper sold in hours and had to go to reprint.
Le Canard Enchainé is different from fellow satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which is not generally focused on news and often publishes cartoons for their shock value.
Charlie Hebdo became known around the world when Islamist radical gunmen attacked its Paris offices in January 2015, killing 17 people. The attackers said they were revenging its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Charlie Hebdo regularly caricatured religious leaders such as Jesus, Moses and Muhammad.
"The Canard is a paper with sensibility and our stories have to be backed up by real news," he says. "We're not just going to mock Islam or the Catholic Church for no reason."
Still, the attack on Charlie Hebdo had a huge effect on Le Canard Enchainé. One of the cartoonists killed at Charlie Hebdo also drew for the Canard. Emptaz says today there are several perimeters of security around the newspaper's downtown Paris offices. And the staff takes threats more seriously than before the attack...
"Once, we got a letter from a guy who said he was going to decapitate us all with an ax," he says. "So we wrote that it wasn't every day you get the chance to laugh your head off. The police came immediately and told us we had to get serious."
