    Very few Scots would now recognise a sport that's exciting, technically excellent and which hasn't been totally dominated for nearly 40 years by two secterian hatebuckets who've an obsession with the island of Ireland. Totally alien. Utterly unfathomable. How do they tolerate such a thing ?

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

    Sliding into the Premiership

    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.

    Tbh I am just biased and think McMillan is the best RB in the league. Him and Lawless always give me the fear. LB I think McMann been excellent whenever I’ve seen him and it was an easy decision but interesting to see you go Strapp

    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.

    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.

    Ireland women beat us in the play-offs and went to the World Cup, and have then put together a winning Nations League campaign (albeit helped by being in a lower tier). That will have made a big difference.

    If we hadn't bottled the last two qualifying campaigns I think our crowds would be massively higher.

    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.

    Anyone got any mair decent burn chat? 

    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.

    Butterburn, at the top of Hilltown, was a rivulet that took its rise in the Law, ran down what is now Hill Street, and by the existing Main Street course became the tributary of the Dens Burn.

    Streetwise: Butterburn | Leisure and Culture Dundee

    The Dens burn starts somewhere along Strathmore Avenue and runs down Dens rd where it's met by the Butter burn.

    YOU stop getting Dundee watercourses wrong!!
