  1. Congratulations Stenhousemuir. Great story. Renews my faith in football to see a club like yours have a moment of glory. Well done
  2. Only if you assume that they would accept a 44 game season, which they wouldn’t.
  3. The split was designed to make sure Sky could get 4 borefests involving the Glasgow business partners. The fact that the bottom six is normally much more interesting than the top six is a happy coincidence but as TV companies usually ignore the more exciting games says it all.
  4. The biggest winner with VAR is the bookies in my opinion. Maybe I’m just a sore loser, but goals being chopped off for minor infringements in the build up have cost me at least 6 times this season, all over Europe!
  5. Bravo Ric. Greenied for Sisyphean. . Very highbrow for this thread
  6. Everything about The Barclays is summed up in this game. Standard on show is awful, as expected. Remember that every single player on show tonight is a multi-millionaire! The cream of the sport. The commentary is laughably cringeworthy and the half time analysis is bordering on the surreal.
  7. This is it in a nutshell. In 1997 young people were genuinely excited to vote for Blair. Even Corbyn was able to mobilise young people in England, but Sir Keith has no principles nor charisma and certainly no policies to enthuse anyone. I suspect that turnout will be an all time low and a Labour landslide is far from certain
  8. So any criticism of Israeli actions in Gaza or the West Bank is antisemitism? Is this Starmer’s position? I assume that if an Israeli citizen were to commit a crime in London, he/she cannot be prosecuted as that would constitute antisemitism.
  9. This will never go any further than a trial. Reminds me of the experiment in the old league cup when they drew a line 35 yards out and you could only be offside within that distance. Dropped quickly. imagine a cup final, 1-1 with a couple of minutes to go in extra time, having used all their subs. Keeper gets a blue card for time wasting. Penalty shoot out with no keeper? Or blue carded during the shoot out
  10. Heard an advert repeatedly on some Florida radio station for Hoondy. Took me ages to realise it was for Hyundai. Also Geetarr ffs
  11. Firstly this is a genuine question. From the outside looking in, it appears that Livingston and Martindale in particular thought that Nouble would be another cash cow like Dykes. Is it not the case that this season was derailed by no bids coming in for Nouble?
  12. Is this the place to post this? I despair Eta. I thought it was only royals who could wear uniforms they weren’t entitled to. Is this not a criminal offence?
  13. Couldn’t agree more. When multi millionaires like John Rahm show the sheer greed at the top level, it’s time to stop watching. The EPL is the same. Lowest paid player in the top league is a 17 year old academy player at Nottingham Forest who earns around £180000 a year! The game at that level is burst.
  14. As a supporter of a club that this will not affect, it amuses me to hear and read the seethe from our southern cousins. This whole proposal has been caused by the hoovering up of enormous money by the EPL. Huge European clubs look at the fact that they cannot compete with Bournemouth, Crystal Palace etc with wages and see this as a way of breaking the English monopoly. This is business and all the legislation in the U.K. parliament will have zero effect, if the cash cow from Sky etc dry up. Watch the top English clubs clammer to be included after a very short time, if indeed money talks.
  15. Adams is a strange wee man and always has been. However, he is at least partially correct about the standard of our top league. This is entirely down to money. Average footballers can leave say St Mirren or Motherwell after signing a one year contract, to sign on with EFL 1 and 2 clubs, for double or more than they were getting here. Nothing we can do about that. Young prospects leave for development fees to join English development squads for good salaries and who can blame them. Many disappear and are never heard of again. Scottish football clubs should accept the reality of this and stop signing journeymen on short term contracts and develop their own players, with a view to sell them on if they are good enough. Our 12 team league doesn’t help as 10 clubs are terrified of relegation. Adams is still a fud though. Ross County are the classic example of a club who brings in dozens of journeymen every year on short term contracts.
  16. https://apple.news/AuG98UtVGTRSRMUbLMdcUHQ It’s going to be fantastic when Sir Manofthepeople becomes PM! Socialism you know
  17. Most interesting club is Falkirk. Never a dull season Least interesting club is Stranraer. Terrible ground, sh*** town, never done anything ever
  18. I’ve no idea what Livingston fans expect. Smallest support/ budget in the league and have punched way above their weight for years. Like Hamilton before them. I honestly don’t believe Martindale is under any pressure and certainly shouldn’t be.
  19. Over the last few weeks VAR has got involved in decisions that are marginal at best. It is supposed to get involved for clear and obvious errors. Livingston were on the receiving end of what should have been an overturned penalty against Rangers, which VAR chose to ignore the blatant dive by the wee NI player. Decisions have not improved with VAR, so bin it.
