Is the season not over yet?
My first away game was Stirling Albion v Meadowbank in May 1987. There were 6 foot high nettles growing out of the urinals and there was sleet in the first half over us in the open terracing. Swapped ends at half time and the sun came out when we were in the covered terrace.
Going for a pee in front of 6 foot high nettles is probably marginally more pleasurable than going to Saturday's game..
Stirling Albion won 3-1 too which is a likely score prediction for Saturday.

Duns 5th goal (or thereabouts)
Duns 5 Earlston Rhymers 3
A wee venture into the unreal world of the Borders Amateur League tonight. I was at Duns first game as an East of Scotland club (they played down the road at the High School) and saw an East of Scotland game against Hawick here at New Hawthorn Park.
The Dingers have since gone back to the Borders Amateurs although there is now a nice small stand here since my last visit (the seats came from Stoke City apparently). Earlston isn't too far from Duns as I remember so I'm not sure if this counts as a derby match or not (Chirnside are probably the local rivals). It was a pretty decent spectacle with plenty of goals and worth the contribution I gave to the club (no official admission fee). Pie wasn't too bad either..

Fun fact - the Dutch royal house of Orange (or Orange-Nassau to give it its full title) has nothing to do with the colour Orange. They originate from Orange, the city in the south of France, which is named after Arasuio, a local Celtic water god.
Carrots used to be a purple colour but the Dutch bred them to be orange to celebrate their royal family.
Carrots. Staunch vegetables.

James Forrest being in the SPFL team of the week, when he didn't play in the SPFL this week.
He was also a sub at Hampden, came on, scored a good goal to be fair, and was later subbed.

Don't knock the boucherie chevaline.
It may interest you to know that one of the first football games I went to was at Easter Road. An old chap queued at the pie stall in front of us on the East terrace. He bought a pie, took one bite and threw it away saying "f*cking horsemeat"

The Club put something out recently that income is now about 100k down after SPFL so even parachute payments doesn’t really fill that gap.
I’d like to see any business lose that amount and then immediately bounce back tho I think it will happen eventually. Clubs have to reorganise which takes time.
The trick is to go bust (repeatedly) and then get some sucker to put more money in thinking that somehow your club is an attractive proposition for investment
See Livingston FC 1995-now

One thing I took from the Celtic roaster on the plane, was the sheer amount of Rangers fans responding saying they didn’t think they would be able to hold themselves back if they were there and the guy was terrifying their kids.

“Catherine is now a Companion of Honour, which recognises achievement in arts, medicine, sciences and public service.”
In Communist Romania Elena Ceaucescu, the wife of dictator Nicolae Ceaucescu, was given many honours for Chemistry despite leaving school in 4th Grade. She got the nickname "Codoi" which is supposedly how she pronounced the symbol for Carbon Dioxide, CO2 (doi is Romanian for two)
Thank goodness the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is not some tinpot banana republic where non-entities are given awards and recognition based purely on who they've married.

But he showed it to the girls next door who thought it was a snake, hit it with a rake, and now it's only 5 foot 4.

Haddington Athletic 2 Dunbar United 1
East of Scotland League CupPerhaps Dunbar minds were on next Sunday's Cup Final rather than this East Lothian derby. Haddington scored early on, Dunbar passed up a few chances and then were the better team for the first part of the second half and grabbed their equaliser with a good strike. Haddington came back into it and were awarded a penalty at the end of the game. Decent crowd of 391 too.
Back in the Junior days this would have seen about 3 red cards and a paggar. Ah, happy times..

Kennoway Star Hearts 0-2 Armadale Thistle
To Treaton Park Star (not Kennoway) to complete the real grounds in Fife. Still got Dunfermline and East Fife to do for the Groundhopping but do they even count?
This place is bizarre. From Livingston on Sunday we saw planes (Clydebank is better). From Troon, Irvine Vics or Dunbar (allegedly as we've not been) you see Trains. From Kennoway you see Tractors. A walk through several fields with horses make you wonder what on earth you've got yourself into but if you persevere you discover a tidy wee ground with lovely folk and superb tea.
We actually saw the reverse fixture at the Volly in Septemer. Kennoway were victorious that night as well and were again in their black kit. Armadale with a frankly magnificent red and white hooped shirt. Think it would maybe be more at home on a rugby team but I loved it. Some purists will complain that Kennoway, Armadale and the Referee were all wearing black shorts.
Another ground with a huge slope sees Dale dominate the first half shooting down hill but can't find the target. Mastermind here says "advantage Kennoway shooting down hill second half". Needless to say Armadale won 2-0 to keep their promotion push on track. Star should be fine. There's enough rubbish below them. 7pm was cutting it a bit fine to get the game done before dark but we made it.
It's unique here. Well worth coming. The horses, the tractors the slope. Stoater.
I've heard a rumour you can see trains from Dunbar's ground..

Your maths needs some improving. The cube root and square root of f*ck all are both exactly = f*ck all. (In general cube and square roots are smaller than the number they are roots of; but not in the case of f*ck all.)

Considering Broxburn have at least 3 BAME players in their squad if someone uttered these remarks they should be banned forthwith from Albyn Park, the stupid racists.
