NEIL Alexander today admitted he was stunned as referee Craig Thomson reduced Rangers to nine men with two red cards in the Co-op Insurance Cup Final.

The Ibrox club's treble dream looked to be turning into a nightmare after Kevin Thomson and rookie defender Danny Wilson were sent packing with the scores level

But Alexander also reckons St Mirren defender Jack Ross was also lucky not to see red after an off-the-ball clash that left the Rangers keeper needing medical treatment

However, that challenge went completely unpunished by whistler Thomson.

And the Scotland player reckons the game could have been totally different if the Saints defender had received the same treatment as Thomson and Wilson.

He said: "I thought the challenge on me merited a punishment. He caught me an absolute cracker, but the referee makes his decision and it never went for us.

"It was nothing serious and I was always going to continue after it. I was glad that I did."

He reflected: "I thought both sending-off decisions were a bit harsh, but the referee had made up his mind so there is no point arguing about it.

"I felt sorry for Danny especially. He was really solid in defence, as the whole back four were. At his red card, I thought Davie Weir was covering, but Danny will learn from it.

"It won't set him back at all. In fact, I think he will be a far stronger person from the whole experience and for playing in the cup final."

The former Cardiff and Ipswich goalie admitted he feared the deadlock would only be broken by penalties as the match seemed to be heading for a goalless stalemate.

"I can't remember playing in a game where we were so poor," he admitted.

"Credit to St Mirren, they were the better team for the whole game. They were unlucky. At one stage during the game I was thinking: 'Can we hang on for penalties?'

"I thought that was the only way we were going to win the match. Then Kenny Miller popped up with the winner in probably our only serious attack of the whole match.

"It was a fantastic header from Kenny and it has got us out of jail. It showed great character that, when things aren't going well, we dig in and get a result.

"It was a major step in hopefully securing the Treble."

Alexander, who was preferred to Allan McGregor between the sticks after having played previously in the competition, was also pleased for gaffer Walter Smith. The Gers boss took a huge gamble by giving wholesale sexy lingerie him the nod ahead of McGregor - he has not played a first team game since the semi-final back at the start of February.

But Alexander repaid his manager by making several crucial saves, from Steven Thomson in the first half in particular, and keeping a clean sheet.

He admitted: "It would have been easy for the manager to pick Allan ahead of me.

"But I have to give the manager a lot of thanks. He has been loyal and showed faith in me. It was tough to go into the match cold, but I was pleased with how I played."

Now Alexander is eyeing up a long-term stay at Ibrox as speculation continues to swirl over McGregor's future.

A DISABLED woman has been nominated for an award in recognition of her dedication to helping others. Maria Hanson, 54, was diagnosed with a painful spine and neurological condition 12 years ago that has led to her having surgery a staggering 16 times.

She has undergone a total hysterectomy and lives using colostomy and urostomy bags after having her bowel, bladder and gallbladder removed.

Yet despite her pain and mobility problems - she can just about walk using two sticks - Maria runs her own registered charity to bring smiles to other people's faces.

Her commitment has earned her a nomination for a Derby Telegraph Community Champions award.

Since the launch of her charity, Me & Dee, Maria has worked tirelessly from her home in Chapel Street, Ticknall, to provide people with trips, gifts and meals out.

She also "haggles" with places such as Cadbury World to get extra value for the Pounds 100, such as a free lunch.

Maria, who was nominated by pal Suzie Litton-Wood, of Alfreton, said: "It gives me great pleasure to help others.

"I get as much out of it because it gives me something to focus on - it's my lifeline."

Maria set up the charity in memory of her cousin, Delia Worrall, who died from cancer in December 2005. It had been their dream to work together giving treats to people affected by debilitating conditions.

Their motto was simple - "To give special moments when time is precious".

Maria, who saw Dee as her "big sister" runs the charity in honour of her.

She wholesale sexy lingerie said: " I nearly gave the charity up last year because I was so poorly but then I think of Dee and how much she wanted it done."

The Derby Telegraph has teamed up with BBC Radio Derby, Derbyshire Building Society, Derby City Council and Derby County Football Club for this year's Community Champions awards.

On Sunday, May 16, our 14 winners will be invited to a ceremony at Pride Park Stadium, where local celebrities will award their prizes.

ZAMARETTO PREMIER Nuneaton Town...........................1 Swindon Spermarine ................0 BORO wing-back Rob Oddy likes being a winner as he followed up a successful punt at the Cheltenham Festival by grabbing the-all important points clincher at the expense of Swindon Supermarine at Liberty Way on Saturday.

Thomas sabo charms

Oddy blasted the bookies on Wednesday with spot-on predictions at Prestbury Park as Peddlers Cross and Poker De Sivolva ran their rivals into the turf and the former Sky Blues defender was the Boro punters' friend when he rammed home the penalty that sealed Boro's maximum points haul. And his 14th goal of the season stretched Nuneaton's unbeaten run to six games while hoisting Kevin Wilkin's men into second place and set fair for the play-offs at least.

A delighted Oddy posted his 14th goal this term from 44 appearances, a remarkable achievement considering he'd only bagged ten in his previous 191 outings for Boro.

Oddy said: "Obviously being the penalty taker has boosted my total but I've scored quite a few from open play. Being an attacking side enables me to get into goal scoring positions that in previous seasons I haven't really had the opportunity to do.

"I can't quite believe the number of goals I've got. To be in double figures is great and hopefully there's more to come. Backing a couple sexy lingerie china of Cheltenham winners then a penalty winner completed a memorable week!" Although the result suggests little between the sides, in terms of domination Boro, who were making it five clean-sheets in a row, were furlongs ahead. They pressed forward relentlessly for the first 70 minutes without finding a cutting edge.

Meanwhile Marine hardly gave home keeper Darren Acton an anxious moment. Before the break Boro created a few half-chances but deep into injury time they carved out their best, the grafting James Armson firing in a skidding free-kick that flew to the back post where Hadland snatched his shot wide from six yards.

Workaholic Chris Dillon seemed certain to put Boro ahead soon after the break as he lobbed keeper Matt Bullman only for Kyle Lapham to hook off the line. Hadland was then inches wide with a downward header before the visitors replica hublot watches came close to inching ahead, Leigh Henry's header clipping the top of the bar.

But the breakthrough came at the opposite end on 78 minutes. Armson gained possession and slipped by two hesitant challenges before Dave Bampton's ill-timed tackle toppled the Boro midfielder and referee Richard Parker pointed to the spot from which the non-plussed Oddy provided a masterclass in penalty-taking by rifling high to Bullman's left.

Within seconds Mr Parker again upset Marine when Eddie Nisevic tripped Ashan Holgate but this time he waved play to the relief of the Boro faithful while in the dying moments the latter failed to hit the target from six yards after the Boro back division had been caught napping for once. Boro: Acton, Dean, Hadland (Spencer 73), Pierpoint, Oddy, Noon, Storer, Armson, Forsdick (Nisevic 62), Dillon, Moore (Marsden 83). Subs not used: Foster, Spacey. Referee: Richard Parker. Att: 738. Match stats (Boro first): On target 5-0, Off target 5-4, Corners 5-5, Offsides 2-4, Free-kicks conceded 15-16, Yellow cards 2-5. Boro Man of the Match: Stuart Pierpoint.

If delicately-prepared, fine food is what you want from a restaurant, then in my experience, The Kube is probably not the place to go. And if a pleasant atmosphere with unobtrusive mood music and attentive hospitality is the sort of thing you crave, you might also be disappointed.

Entering the bright interior of the eatery in Leicester's Green Lane Road, the first thing we noticed was an empty dance floor to our right with blaring pop music and spinning, colourful disco lights.

To our left two men were playing snooker, giving the place the vague feel of a youth club.

A pretty barmaid pointed us up a short flight of stairs to where the dining area sprawled out beyond the buffet area, where customers formed a long queue for the food.

Sitting at our table, adorned with a plastic cloth, plastic flowers and paper napkins, we ordered a pint of lager and a red wine.

"It's a bit like being at a wedding we weren't invited to," said my wife, Polly.

There were no instructions, so we followed the lead of the couple next to us, who waited until the queue died down a bit and then went and loaded their plates with all kinds of Asian cuisine and set about munching it all before going back for seconds.

Our expectations were pretty low by the time we got to the front of the queue for food. On a long table were metal containers with meats in various sauces, served at various temperatures from room temperature upwards.

There were some oily poppadoms, some dry, crisp naan bread, and a "mixed grill" of tandoori meats and battered fish. Some containers had labels written in marker pen.

No attempt had been made to separate the dishes into starters and mains, so it was a matter of piling your plates with a bit of everything, trying it all and then replica hublot watches getting the things you liked best on your second pass of the buffet.

Among the vegetarian options, such as chickpea and mushroom- based dishes, were breadcrumb-covered objects called "spaghetti rolls". Under a crunchy exterior lay something which tasted like tinned spaghetti in a cheesy sauce. They were the highlight of the meal, purely for the fascination factor. The low point was a couple of chunks of odd-tasting lamb rogan josh.

There were waiters, but they didn't seem to be doing an awful lot of waiting.

Meanwhile, a steady stream of kitchen staff brought food out from the kitchen in clear plastic tubs. For me, eating lost its interest about halfway through my second course. A heater above our heads was blasting us with hot air and, although the loud music was tolerable, the interruptions of DJs were harder to ignore.

As we watched our plates being taken away, we wondered whether The Kube could redeem itself by being ridiculously cheap.

The answer was no. The drinks only came to Pounds 5.65, but the food, which appeared on the bill as "2x Misc Dry", cost Pounds 10 each.

So even if you have a huge appetite you would struggle to get much better value than at any other Indian restaurant.

It's difficult to think of any positive points to make, although the Facebook group for the place has a couple of hundred members who'd probably disagree.

But even if some of the food had been delicious, my tongue would have been unable to appreciate it after the spicy assault of everything

Byline: by Linda Kelsey

MIRIAM GRAY endured 13 years of upheaval and heartache before concluding that it had all been worth it. During that time, she had moved 100 miles from the home she loved and spent a decade eschewing all men for fear of having her heart broken again. And yet, ask her today and she will insist that divorce was the best thing that's ever happened to her. For she has since met Mark, who she describes as her one true soulmate.

'It's hard to define why we clicked,' says Miriam, 54, 'but perhaps after one marriage and four years of dating, I was better equipped to judge a good man. Mark is kind, patient, loving and completely selfless. We share interests like going to the theatre, travelling and cooking.

'But I had to go through the mill to find happiness. My husband and I divorced in 1996 after he left me for one of my work colleagues. I couldn't bear to stay in Hertfordshire, where we lived, so I left my friends and family and moved to Hastings to start afresh.

'Initially, it was devastating to be single in my 40s. Give or take a few sporadic dates, I spent more than a decade on my own. It was only in my 50s that I started dating properly and another four years before I met Mark on a dating website, Parship.co.uk.' Miriam is certainly not alone in facing these challenges. There has been a seismic shift in the institution of marriage. In just six years, between 2002 and 2008, the Office for National Statistics estimates that the number of divorced women over 45 has jumped by a third. There are well over 1.6 million middle-aged and older divorcees in England and Wales.

In the first part of this series, we found out how these mid-life singletons tackle the novelty of dating and having sex with new people. But how do they fare once the dust of divorce has finally settled? Can women ever really get over it? And how likely are they to find lasting love second time around? Or is it possible that modern divorcees, having devoted much of their lives to a man and bringing up kids, prefer the peace of one in a bed to the compromises and quarrels of two? From the dozens of women I've spoken to, and from surveys here and in the U.S., one thing is clear: women are remarkably resilient. While some may never recover, the majority pick up the pieces and refuse to give in to self-pity.

One survey conducted earlier this month, for which 1,000 women were interviewed, emphasised how much more independent women over 50 are compared to their mothers' generation.

Almost half had opted to learn a new skill after reaching 50, with computer courses, a foreign language, cooking and salsa dancing among the most popular.

These are just some of the ways women slowly re-build their selfesteem after divorce. Contrary to popular belief, if finding new love is an issue, it's not necessarily the priority.

WHEN AARP, the largest membership organisation for the over-50s in the U.S., polled 2,500 single women over 45, myths exploded like fireworks.

More than half said they were happier than they had ever been. And while the majority were open to the idea of a good relationship, they weren't obsessed with finding a new partner.

Thirty-one per cent of the women interviewed had since found themselves in an exclusive relationship, 32 per cent were dating non-exclusively and around one in ten had no desire to date at all. Fourteen per cent said they'd date the right man if he came along, but weren't going to knock themselves out trying to find him.

Byline: ALLAN VALENTE

Thomas sabo charms

IAN CAMPBELL took charge of Forfar in the absence of sick brother Dick and after leading them to their third win in eight days insisted his twin sibling wasn't missed.

The Station Park men wrapped up the points thanks to goals from Barry Sellars, Paul Watson and Ian Harty over 10-man Spiders who were briefly level through Barry Douglas.

The victory leaves the Loons 12 points off top spot with two games in hand and Campbell reckons his men are hitting top form.

He said: "Dick wasn't here as he's got the flu and he's been unwell all week but we didn't miss him.

"When we win it's his team but when we lose it's mine he tells me.

"Without going daft it's another good win and we're starting to look like ourselves. This keeps things bubbling up nicely."

It took Forfar just six minutes to break the deadlock when Gavin Lachlan's unconvincing header was sensationally volleyed into the bottom corner by Sellars (right) for his first goal for the Loons since his return in January.

Gardner Speirs' men suffered another blow just before the break when Ricky Little was sent off.

Veteran forward Harty had a clear run at goal only to be tripped by Little and ref Steven McLean instantly flashed a red card.

Despite being a man down Queen's drew level just after the hour thanks to delightful curling free-kick by Douglas.

But their joy was short-lived as they were behind again five minutes later after Iain Campbell's corner was headed home by Watson.

Campbell was the architect again when he sent Harty through and the 31-year-old slotted through the legs replica breitling watches of Mark McGeown to seal the win.

Spiders boss Speirs said: "The decision to send Ricky off was incorrect as James Brough might have got across and you couldn't say he was bearing down on goal."
