Giving away age here. We won 2nd Division at Love Street in 1974/75 on a Wednesday night. We had to avoid a three goal defeat to be Champions and it played out a 0-0 draw. We should have had it done on the previous Saturday which was the proper last day of the season, but we lost 2-0 to Clydebank and had to wait until the re-scheduled match in Paisley was played.
Won the league by a point from Queen of the South. Was a season when reconstruction was happening and 6 teams went into the New League One.
Cheers for that N7 - and a wee coincidence that neither site of those wins, Love St nor Kilbowie, exists nowadays.

One for the stattos this morning... Other than at Clydebank, have we won a league title at any other away grounds?
Can only think of gala-day type wins at Brockville and the Bairnabau.

Glad to see Johnston get sent packing. In the first game all he was interested in was charging about acting the hard man until he hilariously shat himself from Tam Lang. A wee fanny of a guy.
Absolute tool of a guy. Went flying in to Leon at the corner flag and pinned him round the throat (noted he picked on our smallest defender, not Coll or Tam, to act the hard man). A seething, heids-gone mess, Johnston clearly sees himself as the new Kallum Higginbotham. Moronic, chip on shoulder behaviour, he did us a favour getting sent packing, as their attack all but disappeared second half.

There is no away PATG according to Kelty twitter 11:58am, however just got tickets on our own site. Not many left if any, maybe I just got lucky @Ranaldo Bairn

Did the question of a cash gate ever get an answer by the way?
Not that I've seen. Likewise am still looking

You can’t grow the core support without attracting the “bigger game hangers on” and then converting them to regulars.
Correct. If we can't attract the occasional, the lapsed, the one-off, the curious, or the hangers-on to a big game, then when? Anyone with Bairns sympathies welcome to come along and spend some cash.

Just where do you get these guys from other clubs? Talk about tinpot predictable and boring. Grangemouth patter is about as original as a Beatles cover version.
The most ironic thing about this G'mouth so-called "banter" is when you take even a cursory glance at stadium locations - Celtic Park is in Newbank (so, apparently not in 'Glasgow' per se?); The Tax-Dodgers play in Govan (again, not 'Glasgow'?); Tynecastle is in Dalry; McDairmid is in Inveralmond, not 'Perth'; EEP is somewhere called Garvock, not 'Dunfermline'; Cappielow is in Upper Ingleston, somewhat East of 'Greenock'... etc etc.

Look at this fucking shite. It gives the options of Airdrie, Arbroath, Hamilton and even the fake queens, and yet not a thing about qos. Of course, I don’t think queens are even close to being one of the “top 10 clubs in Scotland”, but they’ve got more reason to be included than a number of the absolute nothing clubs the BBC have included in the poll.Best treat with the contempt it deserves. As I posted earlier on the Falkirk site, the most tinpot thing about Scottish football is the Scottish football media.

Quite enjoyed this little article this morning. Thought it might have been brought up already.
Clearly the most tinpot aspect of Scottish football is the media. Just ahead of the SPFL itself.

It does also, though, give us a clear route to go into the game knowing a win would put us top or level on points. Granted you’d have a game in hand, but also having a midweek trip to Cove is surely undesirable?
You're quite right. Still a long way to go. As in all sports, momentum is a crucial factor, and we've def stalled, given the nature of our last two outings. We really need to respond on Saturday. Feb 17 has looked key for a while, looking even more so now.

At least trying to make the keeper work is a reasonable expectation.
That's what's especially galling.
You could make a case at 0-0 - a pretty flimsy one in truth - for trying to hang on and nick something, or somehow squeak all the way through to penalties.
To keep playing that way once behind, however, is nuts. He mentions changing things in his interview, but 2 subs got introduced just as we were entering stoppage time.
Once more, I think the ultimate aim on Saturday was to avoid getting a heavy defeat at all costs. Even in a Cup-tie, It's how he defines success.
I'm fed up of him. He has an obligation to have his side attempt to offer more.
Nobody is furious that we got eliminated, but people have a right to expect the side to show more attacking ambition.
Given Bartley's evident lack of ambition or concerns for his obligations, the levels of frustration and/or disillusion will continue to rise, sadly, as supporters drift away. Unless you can collectively plot an insurrection, its an ominously slippery slope, as recent previous incompetents at TFS have so ablely illustrated.
The 'playing for 0-0' scenario completely does me in; defeatist and submissive nonsense where a manager deserves all the flak he gets, but instead vocal supporters get criticised by the club or the happy clappers for not liking it. For me it goes all the way back to the unforgivable 4-6-0 stunt that cnut Levein pulled in Prague, which showed his contempt for his obligations... Still gets work, still a media drone, which is both damning and incredible as he surely spent all his credibility that night. Bartley now seems to have pretty much spent all of his too.

Not for me. He's played same way off the bench and it's head down, sloppy control and poor decision making.
Yup, Agyeman has been awful the past two or three times he's come on as sub, not just in yesterday's nonsensical McGlynn screw-up. On Tuesday v Cove he looked more likely to trip himself up than actually beat a man - who was it on here who previously summed him up perfectly as playing like a kid chasing a balloon down the street. Whatever he had at the start of the season -which tbf was great - has long gone missing.

Am assuming its a back three, then the usual set-up in midfield, unless this is McGlynn's once-a-season brain fart... More interesting to see how we play in attack as its clear Allan can't manage MacIver's role, we've taken away all the pace and width on both wings, and Agyeman has looked more likely to fall over his own feet than anything else during his last couple of appearances. But no knicker-wetting yet.

Now I like talking about hypotheticals as much as the next fan, but there's still a long way to go in this league before we can be sure we are in the Championship next season. 16 games or 48 points to be exact, given we'll only be 8 points ahead of Hamilton if they win their game in hand, there are still many things that could go wrong. Whilst I accept we have hardly been dropping any points and don't look like starting to, they could easily come to TFS in a few weeks, shitfest to epic proportions and steal a goal from a corner (the first home game against Dunfermline last season anyone?). That is more likely and that sort of shift in momentum could be huge.
We need to make sure we get the job done this season first and I'm sure McGlynn will be drilling this in to the team to keep our eyes firmly on the prize.
Yup, agreed. Its only mid January, but please can some other folks calm the fcuk down. Yes, we've made it to the top of tier THREE, currently looking like - at long last - a great chance of getting out of tier THREE, and there's some on here talking about double promotions... Just reminds me of this

I'm stuck between wanting to slag off Accies' social media and wanting to slag off Rangers
The latter would be a decent default option.

... And here we go again... quite sure you'll know Celtic don't play in 'Glasgow'; the stadium is located somewhere called Newbank. So off you trot.
