My god, there are some right tossers on this site and no mistake.

Right. Let's get this sending off sorted out once and for all. I was about three yards from the event and saw everything. Armour was not pleased with the linesman, lost his head, and pushed the man hard in the chest with both hands, to the point where he staggered back with the force of it. The ref was pretty much on the spot and had no option but to send Armour off for assaulting an official. It was a straight red, no argument. The fuss was a bit unnecessary, and had it not been for the Elgin keeper doing a good job in keeping things sensible, McCluskey could well have joined Armour. The ref did not have a brilliant game, but I'm afraid he was spot on with the red card.

Wow! Really did not expect some of the tripe that has appeared on this post! Anyway, I stand by what I said, and we will be going to Brechin on Saturday. This means that East Fife will be nearly £100 down by our absence, and I really hope a lot more people follow our example. I must make it clear, though, that this is not a slur on fans of either side. It is an attempt (probably hopeless) to bring it home to clubs that if they continue to take the piss out of the fans, it is they who will suffer in the long run. The sooner we get back to the days when the entry prices were set by the authorities at the start of the season, so that everybody has to charge the same, whether they like it or not. Think about it.

Just what do East Fife think they are playing at? Making a match against Forfar all ticket, and then charging totally unacceptable entry prices. On finding out these unpalatable arrangements, I realise it will be distinctly possible that I will be unable to attend. If you are trying to go out of business East Fife, you have hit on a surefire way of going about it.

all done

Just wondering, whatever happened to Mr Blobby? Haven't seen him for a very long time. Did he have a fatal injury? (like a puncture, or something?) Only asking, Cheers!

been doing a bit of sleuthing here, cos we Forfar fans have never seen him before. Apparently he is from Fife, and has only recently started to take an interest in the Loons. He was asking Louise at half time about getting Forfar goodies for the family, so he seems to be serious. He has not been spotted since. Hope this explains, and, he wizny with us, honest!

Shouldn't Sevco have done this when they used a dead club's name?

I'm sorry but if that is anything short of bribery what is? You are forgetting the other side of the coin. With these 'guaranteed' extra people, think of the rise in the cost of insurance, policing, stewarding. Will this alleged 'sweetener' cover all these extra costs?

There must be a few of you out there who remember Rangers cunning plan in the sixties to put most of the old second division out of business 'for the good of the game'. At the end of the day, who was it ended up out of business? Not us! What I am saying is, give them the same response as we gave them then. Laugh and ignore them. We definitely do not need that kind of interference in our world. What would be the point in having a really good side (for a change) but cannot have any chance of winning the championship because of them lording it at the top? I'm sure I speak for everyone here, not just my own lot. Forfar did not win the championship in their 125th anniversary season, despite having an excellent side. Why not? Bloody Sevco, that's why not. No, I implore everybody in our world to make it very clear that the so called 'colts' are neither welcome nor wanted. Backs to the wall, boys and girls!

Right, but the terms and conditions are all part of the Law of Contract. I had to deal with a season ticket matter some years ago, and said law left the club without a leg to stand on. The whole season ticket thing has run on for about 100 years with no major problems, so nobody really bothers, but a season ticket is a legally binding contract between the purchaser and the club. If the club cannot fulfil it's obligations, for whatever reason, it is a breach of contract (honestly) and the purchaser is entitled to ask for a settlement, if there is no fault on their part. I am well aware that the present situation is not the club's fault either, but they did take the money and guaranteed the product in return. They cannot do this, so the purchaser is entitled to a refund for the part of the contract which cannot be fulfilled. All horribly legal sounding, but if you check the Law of Contract, you will get quite a surprise on a few things you thought were straightforward.

If the league is officially concluded, season ticket holders can legally claim the cost of the remaining matches back. This goes for everyone, not just Rangers.

Meh Goad! Wis all that happening in Glasgow, then?

Have not heard anything in this country, but the story is doing the rounds in Cork City in Ireland. To be honest, it is surprisingly the same wherever one hears it, with no arms and legs attached, but I reckon it's a bit far fetched, given that there is not a Church of Scotland within water nicking range of Ibrox. Seriously, though, if anyone wants the full story a la Cork, I'll post it.

What are we talking about here? Football, principles, or simply money grubbing? Scottish football has been skint for about a hundred years, and we've managed to get along reasonably well so far, especially in the lower divisions. Who wants to be controlled by some greedy corporation who care for nothing but profit, just because the gruesome twosome want to interfere in our world? I for one do not want games switched from a Saturday at 3 pm., just because all those 'diehards' can't get off their arses and go to the game. As I say, we've been skint for ever, and we know how to deal with it. For god's sake, will they just keep out of things which they know nothing about, and leave us to get on with keeping real football alive.
