Maybe they assumed it was yet another manager application from a moon-howler and put it in that pile.

Wait to you see what Partick fans will do to Byres road if they win the playoff

Dundee United envy this statement

The most perfect and ironic example of Moonhowling

Watch Middleton's chance and their next attack. I'm not disagreeing with you, if we got him on a 2 year deal I'd be happy, 1 offers nothing except keeping the wolf from the door until the issue with that position rears its head yet again. I just felt he didn't play as well as he has.

Don't know if it goes in here or the tinpot thread but Kyogo winning SFWPotY shows how all the hacks are OF lackeys. Not denigrating the guy, he's a tidy footballer but he also plays in a team that has domestic dominance and their possession much by up in the 70's on average. Even if I didn't support Motherwell, Van Veen breaking a SPFL record from a team looking like they were going down in February is pretty remarkable before you factor in the tally of 29 goals.

Can't disagree with any of that. I think the issue for next season will be replacing Kev's contribution which you'd be doing well to secure two 15 goal forwards. It's gonna be two wages and an extra body in the squad and both have been cited as issues. Today was further evidence that Bevis has probably been charmed to be with us for so long. Mandron is from the same school of footballing ability. As has been conveyed, our defence was a major downgrade without Casey and Butcher, plus SOD is a shadow of what Max offers. Furlong was also poor for me today. Surprised that Slattery took the freekick which was in prime Kev territory. Season ends on a high but let's be honest it's been the lions share of three seasons now of some pretty turgid stuff. I think we're all enthused with what Ketts will do in the summer with what he has and when he goes shopping.

WIth the benefit of a reply, was not a penalty It does seem the VAR refs are not willing to make any calls themselves. Always delaying the game for 3 minutes before calling the ref over to the telly. Other than that, Kelly and Furlong need to be force fed Red Bull at half time. SOD always looks like he's just shaking off a knock, but its just his gait.

Big Jock drew!

Gets on a plane, pops a painkiller, wakes up in Oxford NHS Trust hospital ... wonders how that's happened

Now that's something you don't often find in the middle aisle. Good chance you lot would do the same just in an Aldi bag as you follow the same business model

Not meaning to be detrimental as I love the wee guy but my memory has it he was outstanding when he came in for half a season, continued the following season, then saw haddies like Cadden off to Ibrox on £1m over 4 years and if anything his form and contributions dropped. It was not a continual rise in C&A.

Stuck it in the Top Tier board. If it's a consolation, my own club as fan owned carried out a survey of the support and invited feedback. From the comments on our thread and in our own dedicated club forum it got a universal thumbs down. Now going by that you'd expect our representative to follow the will of the "owners". You'd also hope that St Mirren would too being in a similar position. Hearts fans may have divided loyalties as the have committed a Colt team but safe to say most see this for what it is, an OF Trojan Horse.

Seen this in the WoSFL corner of P&B. It's a statement from Pollock and the poster asked for it to be shared in all league subforums. So here's it is in the Premier one. Not ancy, just a well reasoned wake up and smell the coffee response. Kudos to the author. Club Statement on proposed “Conference League” May 27, 2023 Having now received full details of the SFA’s plans for a new “Conference League” at Tier 5 of the Scottish football pyramid, Pollok FC wish to make it clear that we are totally opposed to this proposal. Whilst we accept the intent to improve the development pathway for footballers is sincere, this proposal is not the solution. We believe that this proposal would be to the detriment of the vast majority of the remaining 200+ clubs in the football pyramid and at the same time is highly unlikely to achieve its stated aims. The main purpose of a football pyramid system is to allow its member clubs, through promotions and relegations, to progress towards a level at which they are competing more or less equitably, and this proposal completely undermines the integrity of that structure. In recent years a significant number of non-SPFL clubs, including Pollok FC, have shown their commitment to the pyramid philosophy by pursuing and acquiring a SFA club licence. To do so they have developed and improved the facilities at their grounds, trained staff and implemented policies required to show that they are ready. This has taken a huge amount of work, mostly by unpaid volunteers, and has also cost considerable sums of money. To then have another League hurdle imposed is needlessly insensitive to those efforts. We are more than ready, should we earn promotion, to move up from our current Tier 6 to compete at Tier 5 for another promotion to Tier 4 and League 2 of the SPFL, continuing to develop and improve our infrastructure as necessary along the way. The proposal would place four Lowland League and two Highland League teams in the new Conference League, the criteria for this selection has not been specified, alongside four B teams. This is not an attractive proposition for the six “competing” teams who would receive £40,000 compensation for having to play almost half of their matches against ‘B’ teams of youngsters along with increased travel and fewer competitive rivalries. Also, depending on what positions the ‘B’ teams who cannot be promoted or relegated finish in at the end of the season, a non-B team in 5th place could find themselves in either a promotion or a relegation play-off. It is entirely possible that after a couple of seasons were the two Highland League teams to be relegated, this Conference League would look like the present Lowland League but with fewer teams. Recently Aberdeen FC have said that they are not going to put a B team into this League and Rangers manager Michael Beale has said, “I don’t think the Lowland League is a good bridge, so we need to look at other games,” and yet the Conference League would look just like the Lowland League but smaller. Unless there is a hidden agenda, which may not be that well-hidden when the office bearers for the company behind this new League are taken into consideration, then on the face of it this proposal is without merit. It is overtly the only option that does not require a vote that would be against the self-interests of the majority of SFA member clubs eligible to vote at the AGM on the 6th June. Because it is the only option is not good enough reason for it to become a reality. Pollok FC is wholly opposed to the formation of this Conference League and although, as a recently licensed SFA member, we are not ourselves able to vote at the SFA AGM, we would urge as many other voting clubs as possible to reject the proposal.

Seems Chris Cadden has a suspected ruptured Achilles.

A lot of those appearances since Xmas have been as a sub. Nowhere near as much love for him this season as last but fans by and large appreciate his work ethic, just seems there's other players who have eclipsed him in performances this season. If we did forego some of our £400k ish development compo then you'd hope there would be a trigger such as EPL promotion over and above a portion of next sale.

<Consults urban dictionary> Do yi aye?

Jelly Tot aficionado ..... says more nonverbally than you could envisage

Was Naismith heard to say something about "incels"?

This season Mr Caretaker Manager Esq has racked up: Aberdeen 3 months Motherwell (2 stints) 2 weeks and 4 weeks Dundee United (2 stints) 3 weeks and 2 days St Johnstone 5 weeks Govan Orcs 2 weeks Hearts 6 weeks and counting Which cumulatively puts him at 8.5 months and ahead of Micheal Beale but behind Lee Johnson, kudos for holding down the Motherwell and Aberdeen gigs at the same time and splitting his time equally for a period in Perth, Aberdeen and the capital.

Who's the wee fella in the Hibs trackie pretty much involved from start to finish?

The BBC has it up too with pigeon chesting in the tunnel from both managers. The Blonde wading at the end has strong "drug dealers girlfriend outside a chippy at 2am" vibes about her.

Richest match in world football about to kick off at 16:45 with Wee Al on the bench, Jordan Clark seems to be the player who has pushed him out this season.

Vanity project by a guy who’s made money but obviously not enough for anything tangible at Parkhead. So to stroke his ego a club which will always be the second result he checks on his phone at 16:50 gets rebranded and the diehards are alienated. But yeah what Lanarkshire needs is yet another “them and us” vehicle, we’re pretty short on them ……

I wonder how much the training camp in Holland is down to Spittal. "Just somewhere flat, nae mountains, flat I tell you or I'll lose ma shit"
