What in the f**k are you guys spending all the money on that you require an extra £400k per year - every year - to merely be sustainable?

We've already hit 100 entries with four weeks until Gameweek 1!

Hello mod overlords. I've started this season's Last Man Standing tourney in the Prem, Champ, L1 & L2 sub-forums and I would be most grateful if one of you hard-working souls could take the time to pin these threads? Thank you, Poet

That is correct. Cheers! It takes a bit of time at the start but it's more time-consuming than tricky tbh. I enjoy organising it though so it's really not a hassle at all.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the highly anticipated opening of the 2023 Last Man Standing tournament! We're back and ready to embark on another thrilling season filled with suspense, strategy, and the quest for ultimate victory. It's time to gather your wits, make your selections, and join us for an unforgettable journey. With just five weeks remaining until the new league campaigns kick off, now is the moment to showcase your foresight and make your mark in the tournament. The excitement is palpable, and the stakes have never been higher (Editor's note - They have). The rules, if you need to be reminded, are as follows... Your first entry must be in by 19:00 on Friday 4th August. That's the cut off point for entries. Win only. Draw or lose - you're out. You can pick each team only once. You can pick a team that someone else has picked, you can't pick that team again. If you want to change your pick then you can do so, but only once, and this must be made clear with a new post. I won't accept just editing your original post. If everyone is knocked out in the same Gameweek, they will all be put back in for the next Gameweek until we have a winner. In the unlikely event of postponements, you will remain in until the following week but you will be unable to pick that team again. Let's also take a moment to remind ourselves of the LMS Hall of Fame; each of these former champions have etched their names into the annals of history, forever remembered for their remarkable accomplishments: 2009 - nofixedability 2010 - Haitch 2011 - Galabankie 2012 - gydiamond/Beachbum (Two tournaments were held this season...I think) 2013 - roverthemoon 2014 - Distant Doonhamer 2015 - Funky Nosejob 2016 - nofixedability 2017 - wullie360 2018 - DundeeSpider1867 2019 - Silverton End 2022 - Dysart

Have we already signed Weatherspoon?

That's just the club putting more effort into promoting the match, though. They called it an "Exhibition" to make it sound more exciting than a run of the mill friendly game. There is no actual difference between the two. They could have equally called it a "Warm Up Match" or a "Super Duper Special Challenge Encounter".

lolwut You realise there is absolutely hee-haw difference between the two?

Well done to the club for getting 7000+ in for a pre-season friendly. I don't really care about pandering to Celtic fans etc; we've made a lot of money tonight for what was, after all, a totally meaningless football match. As for the game, it's very early pre-season but you'll rarely see the Pars as overwhelmingly outclassed as that. Second best from minute one and scoreline could have been a lot worse. Hopefully they benefit from the minutes in their legs and aren't too disheartened because it's very unlikely we'll play anybody as good as that all year. Sponsor logo on the home kit is proper minging. A fine effort apart from that. Nice wee cameo from Tod Jr. Hope he gets a few opportunities in the League Cup matches. I know he's your pal McPake but I *really* don't need to see McGowan again.

This thread was first started in 2012 and I'd be willing to guess that every year we've had supporters pissing their pants in fear because we haven't signed enough players. Relax.

The club should absolutely cherish any supporters who pay £50 for this because they will agree to *anything*.

Very exciting opportunity to visit the ground and see the pitch for just £50.

St Johnstone (A) - Raith (H) - East Fife (H) - Bonnyrigg (A) Haven't played at Perth in over a decade, so that one is long overdue. Pot 2 is absolutely minging with all Champ sides; at least a home game against the wee team would bring the club a bit of extra coin. East Fife won't bring much but probably more than anyone else in Pot 4. We have never played Bonnyrigg so would be a good one to get ticked off the list.

You're an absolute dork.

QP certainly do look Everywhere when they're appointing a new manager.

Thistle will be absolutely fine. Only difference between them and a lot of clubs is they have been open and honest about how close they have come to financial disaster. Most teams just keep it quiet and pretend everything is fine.

Was a shock to hear that Cowdenbeath still exist tbh, never mind them being invited to participate in the League Cup.

United will obviously be huge favourites to go straight back up as champions, while I would expect Inverness CT & Partick Thistle to finish in the top four. Would be superb if the Pars managed to get into the mix but I think we'll likely end somewhere between 5th and 8th. I'm sure more half the league will be within 5-10 points of each by the end anyway.

I'm afraid your team absolutely bottled it Brian, better luck next time chief x
