We've had a few problems with f***ng hackers recently, so we've turned off some of the more "advanced" features of the site:

• The upcoming games calendar. Still available here


• Scottish bands playing NYC. If there's enough interest, I'll get this going again somehow - let me know. The RSS feed for this is broken too.


• You can't leave comments on posts any more - we might bring this back in the future as it's proved useful around big games


• The newsfeeds from the Scotsman and the BBC - sure you can survive without these


• Some of the photo albums are gone


• The guestbook has been switched off for a while already

Pain in the erse, to be honest, but hopefully none of this stops the important info getting out - when and where you can catch the games (and dive bar tours of course!).
