    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.)

    With bigger lower divisions (those 2 or six teams extra) the SPFL sponsor money has to be spread more widely - that is to say more thinly. How likely is it the clubs will vote for that? And the threat of relegation hasn't gone away - 12.5 % or 11.1 %. At present it's a maximum of 10% what with the possibility of winning the play-off and avoiding it.

    But that's exactly the calibre you'd be looking at in the LL.

    How would it be less difficult? Only Brechin so far have managed to win their league after demotion. The LL teams haven't come close - for very good reasons. And for automatic promotion to it you're asking for two relegations from the SPFL. In other words one fifth of the lowest division. No SPFL club is going to vote for a 20% chance of relegation.

    No team going down to the LL is going to be able to attract the calibre of player they had in SPFL's bottom tier. It's amazing Albion Rovers are even ninth.

    We've only ever won there ridiculously few times.
  7. rockson
    At least it won't be Stranraer. That would be two guaranteed losses.

    Well done, lads. Enjoy the day.

    Technically that mark only means it was assayed in Edinburgh, not necessarily made there. Silversmiths sent/send their wares to the nearest assay office to be hallmarked.

    You've just Faz'ed it.

    I suspect bobbydazzler meant the EoS has the Rangers of both Berwick and Tweedmouth in its area.
  12. rockson
    Fair enough. On this clip it does look like he handles it.

    If there had been a league title potentially hanging on this game I'd have 100% thought we'd blow it. As it is we'll probably win and postpone Stenny's celebrations for a week. Then again recent games between us suggest a 1-0 away win.

    From those highlights it looked to me not to be a penalty. The defender had his hand up but it doesn't look like the ball hit it.
  15. rockson
    I see what you did there.

    I suspect Stranraer would have serious problems attracting players if they went down to the LL. It was bad enough for Cowdenbeath and Albion Rovers.

    To whom? These days I have the fear about games like this.

    Please note: the word I have put in bold ought to be 'affects' not 'effects'.

    I was just thinking that if we reach the play-offs and play Spartans, wouldn't it just be totally a Dumbarton thing to happen if they were to beat us. (And a Faz thing, obviously.)
  20. rockson
    What are you on?
  21. rockson
    It was a really odd game. Spartans didn't lay a glove on us first half but managed to score twice. Unusually we made the most of our set pieces. Out of 8 goals only one was worked (our sixth.) The rest were all free-kicks, resulted from corners or (their second, our fifth) a defensive lapse. Well done to the lads though.
  22. rockson
    No, it wasn''t. They're still going - albeit under a different name and at a different location.
  23. rockson
    Really? I just thought the players stopped lumping it up to the small man and tried to pass it forward instead.
  24. rockson
    There are good historical reasons for those "parochial" laws. I for one don't want to go back to those good old days. You can drink in the bar at the Rock before the game if you want to, so where's the problem?
  25. rockson
    Next season we'll be lucky to finish 8th - or anything like it. (I'm assuming he won't have been emptied of course.)
