I had intended to go to Airdrie v Queen's Park when it was Covided off, ending up at Falkirk 0 Cove 3 instead. When the game was rescheduled, I booked a hotel & train tickets. Obviously, I won't be travelling (from Newcastle) now, so I sent Ms Sturgeon this email -: Dear First Minister, I am writing to you as a resident of England and a lover of Scottish football, who has been affected by your decision to limit all football games to 500 capacity. On Wednesday 29 December, I was heading for Airdrieonians v Queen's Park to tick off my 26th ground of the 42 SPFL teams, but obviously that plan is out of the question now that football games are effectively free from spectators. Airdrie average less than 1,000, but if 500 are allowed, I wouldn't want to deny a regular a chance to see their team, so I've secured a refund for my ticket and my hotel, but it seems as if the train ticket agency have harder hearts, as they will not issue a refund. This is a shame as I was hoping to return to Scotland on Saturday 22 January to see Auchinleck Talbot v Hearts or Kilmarnock v Dundee United ; however, if I'm out of pocket for the train tickets, it makes it less likely I could boost the Scottish economy. As I earn only £22k per annum and you take home in excess of £150k, I was wondering if you could help me out with a dig out? If so, I'll stand you a pie & a Bovril when I finally get to Somerset Park.. Regards,

heading up for this one. hope i have more luck than last attempt to get to Alloa back in January when Arbroath game was rained off while I was waiting for my train at Stirling... any pub recommendations?

i thought Gomis was very impressive, but i'm afraid Connor Sammon isn't at his best on the left wing.....

Was up from Newcastle at this game, on account of being at a gig in Glasgow last night. Went with my mate who is a Falkirk fan who got me a ticket. To be absolutely frank, the anger and vitriol of the Falkirk fans seemed to grow more intense the further west in the stand they were. The last block seemed incandescent from the start. Despite being on top in chances, they went a goal down to some dreadful marking and a nice cross and finish. This caused things to turn. Half time was a cue for rancorous, well-deserved, booing, while booing the team back on made t feel like I was at Galatasaray or Red Star Belgrade. The penalty seemed incredibly soft, but also immaterial to the Falkirk fans who, like the team, didn't seem to celebrate. The full time message was obvious and news of McKinnon's departure was inevitable. Some afternoon that was.......

thanks for the info everyone; appreciated

Anyone seen the draw and / or suggested dates? Looking at the Bot's fixtures, I presume they can play their semi-final on Wednesday 5 June, though the other 3 participants seem unencumbered by other fixtures. Saturday 1 June for the other semi perhaps?

they've gone to their new home in Clackmananshire this very morning...

Hello, as I'm soon to be moving house, I've been instructed to downsize my memorabilia archive.... As a result I have approximately 45 copies of the wonderful 80s & 90s general Scottish football fanzine "The Absolute Game" which I would like to give away to a good home.... Anyone who is interested, please send me a message... I'd hate these to go to recycling...
