The talking bollocks contest between Alex Salmond and Gordon Brown was literally on a knife edge last night as both politicians racked up lifetime bests in this blue-ribbon event.
First out of the starting blocks was Gordon Brown mooting the idea of a UK fitba' team in the London Olympics. As this prospect is considered somewhat less likely than something that's not at all likely, critics were quick to criticise the under-fire Labour Leader forgetting perhaps that Broonie doesn't know anything about fitba' - he supports Raith Rovers.
Running out in support of his communities minister, Alex Salmond supported the idea of at Scotland-only team at the London Olympics, asserting that athletes would appreciate the move.
An assertion somewhat undermined when golden boy du jour and photo op Chris Hoy dismissed the idea as bollocks.
Quick to respond, Mr Salmond told The JT: "I just wish that sometimes sports personalities would just think for a moment before they start issuing pronouncements on things they know about, like sport."
