Run-in ? We're still only a third of the way through the season.

Lol, wouldn't that be the Scottish football story of all time ? Unfortunately though, they still wouldn't be eligible to take part next season.

Drumchapel will be disappointed to be out of this year's competition as it will mean no Scottish Cup for them next season, unless they have applied for their licence which I haven't heard about.

No. We're still only 9 points behind 3rd place with 2 games in hand and 60 points to play for.

Yes, a lot of teams at a very similar standard, as we are finding out from all the home draws we've had. Normally our record so far (2 wins, 5 draws, 2 defeats) would see us in mid table, but we're a bit behind with our fixtures hence us being just above the drop zone at the moment.

Yes.

Another draw. That's five home games in the league so far, and five draws. We're still unbeaten at home in all competitions, but I'd rather have our away league record (2 wins and 2 defeats) as draws suck you down the table. Still, it was a decent outcome from a game where we were missing eight first team squad players (Maguire, O'Byrne, Sideserf McBride, Burns, Fitzpatrick, Lone and McIlveen) so thank you to the five Under 21 players who stepped up to help the first team tonight. Huge credit to our captain Tam Miller for climbing out of his sick bed to play 90 minutes tonight.

So we're out of the South Region Challenge Cup, but at least this season we won a couple of games in the competition for the first time. It was probably the lowest priority of the four competitions we were still in this morning, and to be fair we had no complaints about the result as Caledonian Braves were better than us on the day. Now for back to back league games this week, goodness knows when we last played two of them in a row.

1.30pm according to the Scottish FA Live system.

Top talent and only 19 years old, the boy has a good future in the game. He came into the Arthurlie team during last season and very quickly caught the eye.

I believe it's being played at New Tinto Park.

Another good cup win for us away from home today, and once again we got the job done early. 3-0 up after 12 minutes and 4-1 at half time. The second half was poor though, but the job was done by then. That's 24 goals in 7 cup ties so far this season, we need to take that form into our league games and start climbing up the table.
