We've all been there - focused our entire week around a fixture only for it to be postponed. So imagine trying to arrange a game 29 times! On this day in 1979 Inverness Thistle and Falkirk finally got to play their Scottish FA Cup tie with The Bairns winning 4-0. It's (unsurprisingly) a British record.

Rangers striker Kenny Miller says his winning goal against Queen of the South - his 100th in Scottish league football - was lucky and was the result of "the slowest, highest shot that's ever been seen, external at Palmerston Park".

More on that, and lots of other tasty morsels, in today's BBC Sport round-up of the Scottish football gossip.

Two-time Masters winner Bubba Watson has had an eventful week., external

The American had a kidney stone removed, made an appearance on a TV show, watched his three-year-old son play drums with Justin Bieber ... then won the PGA’s Northern Trust Open in California.

Watson, who held the overnight lead, claimed victory thanks to back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th, which put him ahead of clubhouse leader Adam Scott and Jason Kokrak on 15 under.

Rory McIlroy had gone into the final round two shots off the lead and opened with an eagle - but then slumped to a final round of 75.

Manchester City should not have played a weakened team against Chelsea in the FA Cup, says BBC pundit Alan Shearer.

City played six teenagers and lost 5-1 with Wednesday's Champions League tie with Dynamo Kiev in mind.

"Barcelona played on Saturday and they face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday," said Shearer.

"It is the same amount of time as City, but they didn't rest any players.

"I don't get the talk of resting players. City are - and want to be - a very big club on the global stage.

"They've got more resources than anyone. I never see Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo wanting to be left out. It seems a big issue in our country."

Lewis Strange wasting no time to send us a poem - over on the BBC Match of the Day Facebook page., external

"He bites people all the time

"He scores all the time 

"I know this doesn't really rhyme 

"But His name is Suarez."  

And on that note, we want you to get involved and show us what footballing poems you can come up with.

It could be as simple as this one we've just wrote. 'United and Shrewsbury meet in the Cup, defeat for the Reds and Louis' time could be up'

But obviously that's rubbish. So what can you come up with?

Send us your prose as soon as you can please and we will publish the best.

Such is West Ham midfielder Dimitri Payet's artistry it has inspired his boss to consider taking up poetry.

Hammers manager Slaven Bilic waxed lyrical about the 28-year-old's latest masterful performance, following the 5-1 FA Cup win at Blackburn.

Payet scored twice and made another to help put his side into a quarter-final at Shrewsbury or Manchester United.

"I have to get poetry lessons to describe his importance to us," said Croatian Bilic. "I haven't seen better players than that. He is one of the best I have trained."

Roma striker Edin Dzeko put in a solid contender for 'worst miss of all time' in his side's 5-0 win over Palermo.

The former Manchester City striker was in front of an empty goal three yards out and somehow missed the target.

To be fair to him, he went on to score twice but those goals won't be shown for the next 20 years...

And if you don't believe it's as bad as we're making out, have a watch yourself over here., external

Brendon McCullum went cheaply in his final Test innings for New Zealand as Australia put themselves in pole position after day three of the second Test in Christchurch.

After his day-one fireworks - where he blasted the fastest ever Test century off just 54 balls - the stage was set for McCullum to help the Black Caps wipe out a 135-run first-innings deficit.

But he was one of four New Zealand batsman to fall as Australia reduced them to 121 for four after being bowled out for 505 earlier in the day.

McCullum made 25 and ends his Test batting career with 6,453 runs at an average of 38.64. 

Nice touch by the Aussie team to applaud him off the field.

The papers don't make pleasant reading at all for Mr Louis van Gaal this morning. Mind you, he should be used to it by now.

The Manchester Evening News, external is reporting that Mourinho believes he has a gentleman's agreement with chief executive Ed Woodward to become the next United boss.

And according to Italian publicationLa Gazzetta dello Sport,, external Mourinho will raid his former club Inter Milan for Brazil defender Miranda and Argentina striker Mauro Icardi.
