Plus it's one of those mad old-timey balls that weighs the same as a car when moist.

Sorry for breaking the news about Santa to you so abruptly pal. The red dot was well deserved. -

All the scientific stuff is great, but I always feel it belongs behind the scenes (ie. Where I don't have to hear about the xG of some guy who works in Tesco, smokes too much green, lives on kebabs, and occasionally turns out for Campbetown when three other guys are too hungover to play). -

I think Clydebank have had it due to the recent drop off in form. Top three is probably the best they'll manage now. -

Very true, Beith have dropped points in 40% of their matches and are effectively the leaders. it's been a stramash, but an enjoyably competitive one. -

Talbot will drop some points in the run-in because we have a lot of games including some very difficult ones. We could do with beating Beith but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world. After slagging Beith and Bankies fans a few months back for playing down their side's chances I will state that despite Talbot's momentum it's 60/40 in Beith's favour because of their lead, already being the champions, and the slightly better run-in (I can't bring myself to count St Cadoc's into the equation - they could very well win the thing but they're a kiddy-on club and it's just such a depressing prospect). It now feels like a free hit for Talbot because we've salvaged some hope from a doomed-looking season so win or lose there will be a lot of optimism for next season and the management, players and everyone else connected with Talbot will deserve a massive round of applause for the way the ship has been steadied regardless of how it all pans out. The pressure of expectation is probably more on Beith right now because they're the champs and have been pegged back from an unassailable-looking lead. -

After today's results Talbot can win the title without favours from elsewhere - words I did not expect to be typing this side of the summer holidays. We still have to go to all sorts of difficult places and win, and there's a very hard sequence of away games coming up so not getting too excited just yet. -

didn't get to the game - saw McCracken went off in the 1st half on Twitter. Not good. Sounds comfortable enough apart from that. -

I take your point (was just being facetious). I would be excited to see how Talbot got on in the LL but my main point earlier was that it's dull AF to have yet another dafty suggesting that anyone lacking 100% enthusiasm for the LL return to the Junior grade. -
Talbot will have upwards of 100 concessions. If that'l is strictly adhered to Darvel are effectively robbing pensioners during a cost of living crisis. I hope the boycott idea gains support although I doubt it will.

Who among us didn't grow up dreaming of the day our football favourites would audit their people. -

I don't know. Is that a trick question? It certainly isn't something that should be taken from any of my posts on the subject. -

Also, isn't it odd that 99/100 it's some grade obsessed Pyramid-shagger who brings the Junior grade into the mix on here rather than people who actually enjoyed the Juniors at the time? "You're not desperate to play Civil Service Strollers in an astro cage in on a wednesday night in January, go back to the Juniors and let clubs with ambition advance". What's the point in this line of argument? It's fairly moronic, polarising and ultimately pointless, and ultimately shows people up as being the type to argue that black is white if it supports their hopelessly entrenched outlook. -

There's an active movement for a lot of daft stuff in the World but it doesn't mean anyone who matters is taking it seriously. There's no danger that the Juniors will be relaunched in the WOS by a group of Facebook Dad's. -

Is there evidence that they aren't ambitious? -

If we ever lose a playoff there's a sizable constituency of tinfoil heids that will be more upset than the Talbot support about it. -

I honestly haven't heard anyone in the Talbot support say they'd want us to chuck it if we found ourselves in the playoff. There are likely a few who wouldn't be all that disappointed if we stayed in this division right enough but I'd expect that sentiment to exist right across most of the traditional ex Juniors in much the same proportion as at Talbot.
