That's the part of the forum those threads belong. I don't think that shows what you think it does. I suspect the threads might be busy at certain times, but that's a different matter.

Isn't it Threave's first season in Division 3? The fixtures are fairly kind to them in the run in, so it's not done yet.

One team in 18 down is not enough. The one in 16 proper teams the LL has just now isn't enough. It'd be better than at present obviously, mind you.

That was class. Think it was 2003. If my memory isn't tricking me, I'd spent the night before outside Morrisons (or maybe it was Safeway at the time) on King Street in Aberdeen queuing for tickets to the Netherlands play-off game for Euro 2004. I fell asleep on the train back and got woken up by the conductor saying we were in Inverness! She was taking the piss, though. We'd just arrived at Dyce and were heading back to Aberdeen again anyway. Pretty sure I might've written a match report for this site after that game, actually. Hopefully Div's set fire to it because it'll have been bloody awful.

Yeah, heading along on Saturday morning. Looking forward to it! Bit gutted for Guy Learmonth missing out. British Athletics appear to be complete arseholes. Bit of context:

Yeah, I'd agree with @Dons_1988. Ideally, you'd take it really easy as you get to distances for the first time. It should feel slow to you. The time on feet is really valuable if you decide to commit to it, and it should mean your legs aren't trashed to the point you can't run for half the following week!

I'm replying a bit late, but I'm perma-injured so don't look here much these days! I'm no coach, so massive caveat to start, but I imagine the easy 4 miles on Monday is meant to help recovery after a long Sunday run. Adding miles on to this wouldn't be particularly helpful. It does depend on your history a little, though. I'd be more tempted to just shorten the Wednesday a bit on the weeks it doesn't work for you. As the mileage builds, maybe shift the odd mile to the Mondays. Don't worry too much about total mileage, as long as you're executing the 'spirit' of the plan. Main thing: don't be too hard on yourself, and enjoy the big day when it comes!

The US has essentially no 'sidewalks' and has turned over 50% of its land to free parking lots. That's why you don't see a pavement parking problem. And bloody hell, you'd widen the roads to solve the problem? What a wonderfully American solution. You answered your own question there, no? As others have said, Edinburgh's public transport is not the problem here. The pavement parking ban is great in theory, but it'll be down to how strongly it's enforced or it'll be back to 'normal' in no time.

It was a Scottish Cup pumping by a Championship club at a similar stage of the season off the back of some poor results. A fair comparison to make. Perhaps the fact County have only failed to win in 5 means it's all okay, though.

Boreham Wood 4-4 Eastleigh in the National League, attendance of 704. Madness. Eastleigh 2-0 up at half time in a nothing match with two tidy goals, only to end up 3-2 down within 15 minutes of the second half...and that included a saved pen for the home team (dodgy photo below)! Eastleigh fought back to take the lead in 88 minutes, only to concede a very soft penalty and equaliser five minutes into stoppage time.

Charlton Athletic 2-3 Northampton Town, League One A funny night with the home side a goal down in 5 minutes, after a simple ball over the top. Fans chanting 'sack him now or we're going down' immediately after. A 19th minute equaliser preceded a 21st minute response from Northampton. The goals were basically identical, including away players scoring them. Charlton equalised right on half time, but then lost the game in the 96th of 96 minutes. Ouch. Had to look up their no. 30 after the game...he was Charlton's playmaker but he was absolutely gash. The game lacked quality but was entertaining enough with 5 goals, a red card and what looked a clear pen denied with the Northampton boy booked (at 2-2 and with a man advantage). £26 for a ticket makes our Premiership look great value for a similar price.

A bunch of half-season loan signings, you mean? He may well be building a squad in the Championship if this carries on. Are County fans meant to sit on their hands until then? Motherwell punted Hammell after getting pumped by Raith Rovers last season. They were at least away from home. It's a huge week with Livi, St Johnstone and Motherwell coming up between games with the Glasgow uglies. If there's no win from those three, Adams becomes even harder to defend than he already is.

That's two different conversations, surely? Are you saying it's the same clubs voting against B teams and voting against a change to relegation? I'd have thought it's mostly different clubs. Voting for more money and no additional relegation would be a frustrating, but understandably self-protecting position to take up, however. As for "with no alternative plan"... the plan is to have a league filled with clubs who have earned their place in the LL, and who'll turn up with consistent squads. It's not their job to worry about what Celtic and Hearts want to do with their kids.

About six years ago, our team did 'Evil Santa'. You buy a present, and they all go into the middle. Names get picked out of a hat & choose a parcel to open. Next person goes and can either steal that gift - now known to the room - or take a random one. With 30 people in the team, it was good fun. Yours doesn't sound like that. I don't think it's a bad idea in principle. Unconscious bias means recruiters will end up favouring the person more like them, so it'll be more challenging for minority candidates to progress when they're evenly matched. It can go badly wrong, but that won't stop me winding up my 50+ white male colleagues who like to foam at the mouth about such things.

County will obviously get the wallet out in January, which is more than Livi can do. Weird to get quite so angry about a game being called off.

It's a shop window for players. Can only imagine the logic is players are maybe reluctant to sign long contracts before moving up incase Highland life isn't for them. It works for the club because it's prudent to make sure you're not left paying Premiership wages to players if things go wrong. Not sure how likely a player is to sign a 2 year deal with a relegation clause in it, as opposed to a 1 year deal. The above not to say I agree with the approach, but the logic is there.

Was it not 40 league games unbeaten? The last 34 of the First Division season (after a 5-1 pumping at Accies in our second game) & the first six of our SPL debut? Could be completely mixing up seasons, here. The difference is Douglas Ross chose to be a Tory, so slagging him for it is fair game. The other chap was picking on people for a variety of less savoury reasons. You know this.

I'm exasperated that some County fans are actually still trotting out the strawman Martindale argument and 'private group' nonsense to defend a failed football manager. He's not even employed by County any more. You don't have to do this. Christ, lads, read the room. Stick the boot in and move on. He's not going to thank you for whatever it is you think you're doing.

I didn't realise you were the arbiter of outrage. Thank god you're here to keep us right. Fair play to you. Don't back down; double down. Bravo.

It's all on overthebridge now. The Jailender went years ago. I've not been on OTB for an age either, mind you. That could be gone too, for all I know.

Because the ball was going harmlessly out for a corner anyway? I could see an argument for a penalty if there'd been any danger behind him.

Both things can be true. Your strawman argument does you no favours.

That's a farcical decision. Any established country continuing to be favoured here. What chance does anyone else have?

Which then didn't sail because of a bit of wind on its second day, and needed the old boat to sub in for it. Still, the nonsense up here is beyond a joke.

"Their" side. Suspect the Romans did it deliberately so us Scots couldn't enjoy it.
