  1. Agreed. Nothing more tinpot than football fans shouting and swearing about a rival town. Personally I prefer to shout and swear about overseas nations and political events to which I have no connection.
  2. If I was Cowden, I'd probably be quite into the idea of swapping Elliot with Robbie Horn?
  3. Trying to imagine the sheer confusion on the Bonnyrigg faces as wee Danny tries to get them to play his trademark brand of possession based football.
  4. If they get a new manager bounce and stay up then a new gaffer to basically clear out the squad would be a masterstroke imo. If it turns out Robbie Horn's time is up, then I think he'll determine he was too loyal to the group of players who got them up. Who simply aren't up to this level. On the opposite hand though, if they go down then he'd probably be the man you'd want in charge for the Lowland League.
  5. Only issue I see with that theory is that East Fife have some very good players who were underperforming. Bonnyrigg don't. So whoever comes in will be working with the same rabble.
  6. I thought that was a really solid, professional and actually quite enjoyable performance. On a park that was completely impossible to play on, and in wind that made it hellish to watch. The conditions were a bit of a leveller. And, on a proper park with limited wind, I think we'd have scudded Bonnyrigg 4/5-0. For the second week in a row we were superior all over the park. Every key battle was won by a Sons player, and 2-0 was the very least we deserved. I can't really add a lot to what's already been said (but I will...). Durnan, Gray and Ruth all stood out massively. And I'm glad we know at least one of them will be here next season! My hot take for tonight is one that, imo, shouldn't be considered all that hot. If Mark Durnan had played every game for us this season then we wouldn't be anywhere near as far adrift of Stenny as we are. They'd still be Champions, and deservedly so, but it would've been a real title race. He was colossal today. Absolutely thumping everything in the air, winning every challenge on the deck and really leading like a skipper should. It's not just that either, he really brings on those around him. Gallagher Lennon had a good game as did Aron Lynas. Despite being kicked in the head and needing bandaged up to stop the bleeding after what referee Jordan Curran deemed 'a fair challenge'. Finlay Gray has such a high ceiling. If he can tidy up his final ball and produce what he did today (and for Graham's goal last week) then he'll be playing full-time football for the bulk of his career. He's a rough diamond in that regard, but I hope wherever he goes he gets the right coaching to make the most of what he has. Because he's a super talent (and a lovely wee guy to boot). I thought he dominated the midfield. Albeit Lee Currie, Callum Connolly and Jonny Stewart is about as stodgy as it gets. Currie is a decent player technically, although miles off it physically, the other two are hardworking but limited Lowland League players. And that really was shown up. Michael Ruth was superb. If he'd managed to get a goal that would've been a 10/10 performance. It was totally selfless, he occupied three centre-halves all game. And he did all whilst being booted up and down the place with a referee who was quite happy to let it happen. I've said it before, he's the best striker we've had in years. Not prolific, but just superb at some many aspects of being a forward. He's my Player of the Year by a mile. Bonnyrigg meanwhile are in big trouble. They are as limited a team as I've seen at this level for a long time. Almost a throwback to struggling sides from the last time we were in the fourth tier. There's no shortage of effort. But there's absolutely no spark. They didn't ever look like scoring. In fact they didn't ever look like threatening. Just a collection of guys with 'effort' 'work rate' and 'determination' but nothing else. I suppose Smart Osadolar summed that up. He did put himself about. He did work hard. But I think I counted that he was offside seven times. We knew to push up, and he couldn't adapt his game to that. Paddy Martin is a solid goalkeeper and performed well again. But aside from him I'm struggling to think of one Rose player who turned in a decent showing. They look like a side with just one win since the turn of the year since the league and, given what Stranraer did to us a few weeks ago, right now I would put money on them finishing 10th. I'd be in the home end at NDP if they played East Kilbride mind you. A real clash of the styles that one!
  7. I'd be staggered if Bonnyrigg avoid the drop. What a rabble.
  8. Interesting technique from the referee to simply ignore Michael Ruth being kicked off the park.
  9. I'd say the going was 'soft'. Probably not too dissimilar to the Peterhead or Stranraer games. If I was being mega-positive I'd say it might actually be marginally better than in the Peterhead game.
  10. Noor might be one of the thickest people to ever appear on this.
  11. I neither have a beard or like pro-wrestling. Actually. Hang on. Maybe that explains why I'm only on once every few weeks. Will grow some facial fuzz, develop an interest in wrestling and report back
  12. Maybe they'll manage to prompt an SFA investigation. Or is that only when certain clubs have games called off because of ropey parks?
  13. If you want a really good laugh, I note that Broomhill are at 'home' on Sunday. Two games in 24 hours after a week where it's due to rain at least once. Good luck, lads.
  14. Hi Darren, As someone working in the media, the idea that any outlet has an agenda against a certain team always cracks me up. And is universally pedalled by folk who have never set foot in a newsroom - or have rarely spoken to a journalist irl. This isn't a dig at you by the way, just a dig more generally at folk convinced that there's some sort of conspiracy. It was something that fascinated me when I was at Uni and I did a few assessments on it. One in particular focused on the 'Daily Ranger v Dhaily Rhebel' and how Old Firm fans perceived the Record, which was pretty interesting. This is my ninth year covering Sons. One of the highlights of my career is when I was accused of having an agenda against the club - who I've supported all my life, who I'm a fourth generation fan of and where I've done God knows how many hours of volunteering from the stream to painting the concourse - by another fan on Facebook. Anyway, feel free to drop me a PM if you want anything from someone working in the industry. Happy to email you over a few responses if there are any direct questions or theories you want to be put to me. All the best with the dissertation.
