We all hate the OF mate. You aren't going to get super fan points for extra hating them.

A 16 team league with a split gives a 37 game season. Scottish football shouldn't be modelling our league around the needs of teams like Livingston and St Johnstone who have a business model of selling to away fans. The benefits of OF games are overstated anyway. We get bigger crowds v Dundee and Aberdeen

Ireland and the problems with sectarianism would be better if Scotland never existed so fairs fair.

Hard to know what to make of the season. Objectively a very good points haul and a very good number of goals scored. It didnt feel like a lot of fun though. Some of the home games especially were turgid to watch. Goodwin and the club obviously had zero goodwill and credit from the fans so everything that went wrong seemed heightened. Players playing poorly were kept in the side too long and conversely (I don't have the stats) I'd be surprised if we went two matches with the same XI before last month. Injuries haven't helped with that and we are a much better team with Docherty than without. It seems very old firmy to whine too much when you win the league though. In most seasons that points tally would have been a much more comfortable winning margin so credit has to go to Goodwin for that also to Raith for keeping it tight. I'll also patronise the rest of you before I go. For all the talk about it being a poor quality championship I think there are 8 good teams in this league - Arbroath and QP were garbage. But in at least one game I have seen every other team play good football.

We are the greatest football club of all time.

Deserve to get relegated with this Pepple character

The luckiest team in the league.

I'd keep Meekison. He will be on buttons and I don't see a bidding war. I think he is the most talented of the lot and if not for injuries I think would have had more minutes. Mochrie, Glass and Chalmers have all had a chance and are nowhere near Premier League players.

Could have gone McMann but wanted to spread it about a bit. McMann has looked effective but his stats are meh. TBF Strapp is maybe a reach but thought he was excellent when I was at Cappielow recently and if not for injuries I think could do something. Mind you on that basis maybe Harry Milne a better shout.

Does anyone else not have strength enough views/don't know enough to pick RB/LB and just Google assists? Walton McMillan Gallagher Holt Strapp Fotheringham Stanton Docherty Easton Moult Graham

I got aspire lounge access free through credit card and its not like many lounges I have ben in before. There didn't seem to be any discernible difference between there and Spoons. Not that it bothers as I'm not too good for the Walter Scott and its where I would have been quite happily if not for the freebie but surprised if people are paying money to sit amongst loud groups of golf groups and stag dos.

Do they need to work around New Douglas Park?

Raith do the decent thing and take 1-3 points over the next couple of games so we can win the league at Tannadice.

Yeah, mens team success plus the women doing well really would have catapulted us forward. You could have been talking 20k anyway. We didn't though and I have done a 180 on Hampden having thought the women must play there for parity of esteem with the men to now thinking its actually unhelpful. The atmosphere is grim. Its a terrible night out. Think we need to go back to square 1 and make St Mirren Park or similar a busy fun night out and almost treat the women's team like a new club where you have to build a core support rather than cross fingers that u12 girls and auld TA das like me will naturally take an interest. The other thing about Ireland is they are miles ahead of Scotland in recognising women's place in team sports through the work of the GAA. The last ten years of community clubs in Scotland has been hugely positive though with clubs in every town fielding girls teams so there's a chance there if we can get the national team to do something.

It certainly has in the past but it wasn't today or other times you had a call offs this season so not sure this excuse holds too much water (lol).

Celtic could have won the league in 82/83 had Dundee not lost their home match on the final day. I forget the rest of the details

Quite often pre-Christian religious sites are built on high mounds beside burns and later become adopted as Christian sites and become shire and county boundaries. For example Invergowrie, Meigle and Coupar Angus all have important religious centres which sit on burns that used to mark the extent of the Pictish kingdoms of Fotla and Circind and are still the boundary between Perthshire and Angus today.

Stop getting Dundee watercourses wrong!! It's the Butter Burn not the Dens Burn. I know people say Dens Burn but they also say Law Hill. People arent to be trusted.

I was in the Wee Dublin End at the last game and the "fan experience" was world class. Terracing, pishing in a trough in a breeze block lean-to and proper burger van. Yes it rained but I can easily afford a hooded jacket. A lot of noise about Gayfield and Somerset but Cappielow is up there.

Re the crowd, I might be completely wrong, but I don't get any sense the SFA do anything to promote these games other than punting out emails to people who have already paid for mens tickets. There is absolutely no excitement for these games and even when there is eg v Ireland or England it only seems to be amongst people already with a bit of a stake in the national team. I dont know about Ireland but it seems clear the England national team and club teams in England are getting support from people who would never usually go to men's football whereas the SFA seem happy to try and dip from the same well hence crowds QP would shrug their shoulders at. I'd be really interested if there is a growth plan for support for the women's game. Also highly predictable to hear the manager going on about 70% possession which might seem impressive to anyone not watching the game. Man's a fraud.

Started playing one touch football about 5 minutes ago which resulted in 5 entries into the box. Final ball fucking dreadful but it will come if we actually play with intensity.

They should do some research on where the precipitation in Iberia predominantly occurs.

Should be about 10-0 but will take it
