it's hard to go wrong which is why Pollok is such a great away day. can't think of a junior side better served by local boozers.

always nice to see another set of floodlights in the mix, less enamoured with the surface type but can understand why it was chosen.

just reading that Malky McCormick died tody. saw this on Twitter

It's still an interesting race between Hurlford and Talbot at the top. Hurlford seem to be rallying a wee bit with a couple of comfortable wins but Talbot have 4 at home in a row now (including a visit from Hurlford). I think Talbot will begin to drop the odd point here and there with the extra midweek games but think Hurlford will still need to take a lot of their available points to have a chance.

The Bankies might not like it but the Airdrie stuff is fair game as banter, it's intended to wind them up and it works. That's been part of football forever and the best response is to come up with a better response. It's not my cup of tea personally but it's not really that offensive in and of itself. Sadly there's an unfortunate amount of scope in there for things to end up in the gutter which is a different thing altogether.

Mainly macho macho men.

Terrific entertainment at Maryhill tonight under the floodlights. Highlights will be interesting.

2 - 0

1-0 Talbot

Nice night for it.

Talbot have Accies old stand, That should make them the home side.

Aye ah suppose it is ya pedantic pie. The wait is always brutal but this year is going to make the Brexit process feel concise. I wouldn't mind the duration if we didn't so frequently see a pair of sides wilting in the heat if a June day on a snasher of a plastic pitch. Playing at such high intensity for next the 8 weeks or whatever is going to take it out of FT players never mind PT ones with jobs, it robs the players of the chance to do themselves justice on the biggest stage many of them will ever perform on which is a bit of a shame.

I wonder how much the artificial pitch will favour Largs given that they play on one regularly. The date is set, so frustrating as it is there's not much to be done about it now. For me it's not so much the ridiculous length of the wait, or the lack of decent stadium options, but the fact that player fatigue will be impacting the quality of the spectacle after the usual intensive fixture catch up period. Talbot in particular have a rake of matches to play even if they go out of the WOS.

Your a very good ambassador for your club. Always a decent poster even in defeat. Fair play.

Hamilton no really the best for either side but a cup finals a cup final.
