LOL! You celebrating too much?

What have I done to upset you?

Great result today, particularly considering you were handicapped by me having a wee flutter on you at 9/2 with Ladbrokes [emoji23]

Not until 29th surely ...

^^^^Darvel won 1-0

I agree, but I've said all along that as the old Super First was always the most competitive from top to bottom that 14 teams was the way to go for all leagues. Unfortunately, the number of teams dictates otherwise. I think the league will still be competitive, but teams will no longer go from relegation fearfuls to promotion hopefuls with three wins or the reverse with three losses, as was the case in the past. However, I don't think you can blame the number of teams on the way the relegation contenders are shaping up.

Is that why Kenny Miller left?

Presumably they were due to play Irvine Vics who will be playing Meadow in the annual Merrymass game on Friday evening.

I was in a field in Athenry last week watching some hurling.

Depends how bad his knee(s) is/are. Good player. Good leader and scores vital goals, just not enough of them. What's up with Chis?

Good luck to the Pie Boys this season, particularly to the ex-Ford trio, Cammy, Chis and big Doc.

I've always followed the Super First quite closely as it was usually the most competitive league IMO, and as such usually my predictions have been rubbish. Therefore with no expectation of being right, my kiss of death for the top 3 in no particular order is Rutherglen, Rossvale & Darvel. Fans of Craigmark, Irvine Vics and Larkhall can sleep easier knowing that they are my tip for the bottom 3. As usual I will not be investing any of my children's future inheritance on either of these predictions, but I do wish all the teams good luck.

I've heard Ryan Donnelly is playing at Gartcairn. Great lad. Please pass on the good wishes of the Ford fans as he was very popular down here.

Hurlford Legend. Quality player.

Fingers - sorry mate. Can't help thinking ViewParker just can't let it go, but I'll shut up now.

A "ringer" is someone who is not eligible to play that looks like someone who is, i.e. cheating. IMO VP is only using it to get bait TT as using ringers is not what Whitletts, Troon, Maryhill etc al did. Can we get this thread back on topic please?

Is Stuart Davidson still with you?

Good player.

^^^ Interesting Stats however it assumes that the players and coaching staff live where they play.

Yes. 3 up, 3 down. No Play-offs. Although presumably that will change if Clydebank or others head for the promised land.

This was always going to be a problem for the clubs in the bottom tier.

The SJFA get a share of the gate money too. 20% of the semi final gate, I believe.

Given that you thought the design of the programme was disrespectful to Wishaw in the first place, I'm amazed you are interested. It went down like a lead balloon, but sold for 600% of the cover price. Oops!

Nice to see someone commenting on the improvements at BP. We get a lot of negative comments by people who've never been there and just believe the nonsense written on here. Unfortunately try as we may, we haven't been able to fix the drainage issues, which obviously causes major problems. Also, glad you enjoyed your day. As for the game, it was always going to be difficult for Wishaw over two games to produce a shock, but they came close. I think they really needed to score first, but lesser teams would have crumbled after conceding and Wishy didn't, which shows a massive believe. In Dan Kindlan, you have a match winner and he should terrorise defences in your league. Your keeper is also very good and had some great stops. IMO the only thing that might stop you is the sheer volume of games. You've certainly the quality and team spirit. Good luck I genuinely hope you make it. Just hope we can pick up some points soon, otherwise we might be in the same league next season. Finally, can you and Jim B. please tip Talbot for the final or better still put a couple of bob on them. We might need all the help we can get [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12]
