Move the Kelpies to the Falkirk Stadium, after all you get Horsed there most of the time

And the year after that............ You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave

Except when Livingston and Sevco get demoted

Think you should be asking the club what being full time means, are they actually being employed as full time footballers. last time Airdrie tried it the players spent more time on the golf course than training, result was a similar situation of being beaten by part time outfits, often by late goals.

I hear that Metalist 1925 Kharkiv might be looking for players soon, perfect place for him, give him a wee cardboard gun too!

Ah well, at least we are not Raith Rovers.

saw this cartoon on another forum, made me chuckle wryly

Agreed - the point I was trying to make is that they seem to be free of a lot of the baggage that the older clubs have so a larger proportion of their income (wherever it comes from) can be thrown at the playing side.

If we do not get out f this league this year, I fear that barring league reconstruction we may never get out (not in my lifetime anyway). The great experiment that is the pyramid system is working, the dead wood from Division 2 is getting culled out and replaced by ambitious lean teams like Cove and Kelty, unfortunately their ambition is not resticted to just division 1, they want to go as high as their limited stadium facilities allow, which is currently the Chamionship. I fear that as a result the so called "Seaside League" could soon be renamed the "Graveyard League" with more "big" clubs that have been used to Championship/Premier status and having the burdon of larger Premier standard stadia finding themselves down at this level. We have found it a real struggle to get back up, Falkirk are now experiencing the same pain and there is every chance that next years Division 1 could feature any two from Dunfermiline, Morton, Ayr or QOS. That would give a potential league (just for example sake) of Dunfermline, Morton, Airdrie, Falkirk, Queens Park, Dunbarton, Kelty Hearts, Clyde, Peterhead and Alloa. Given the ambition of Kelty and money being poured into Queens Park, they will want to challenge for promotion and keep the others down, then potentially adding others like Ayr and Hamilton. Life definately is not going to get easier in this league.

Found out what todays shock predicted by ITK is....

This is a real place in Truro https://theceltictossers.co.uk/ can you imagine the uproar if they opened a brnch in Glasgow

And a yellow warning of snow nearer home!

The Draw and spare time on my hands led me to look back and see when was the last time that we won a Scottish Cup tie against a team in a league above us, unfortunately our recent poor cup form meant that I had to go back to 2006 when we beat Dunfermline 4-3 away in that memorable match https://dafc.co.uk/fixture.php?SID=First Team&D=2006-01-07&ID=289

Mike Oldfields new album is set to do well

Totally agree with the above statements, despite being top of the league our record so far this year against the clubs sitting 2nd to 4th is W0 D1 L2, so I think that it is psycologically important to chalk up a win on Saturday
