BC63 14 5 299 Highest weekly score so far is dagane – 37 (Week 14) At least we managed to get the full card of six matches in this week, not that it helped many of us! Only two scores of note really as @Johnstonian bagged a respectable 21 points for the second week in succession. The cup obviously brings out the best in you pal. Close behind was @Shannerwith 18 points. Elsewhere it's getting tight at the top as only eight points separate first and second. Sweating much guys? Check your scores please. On to our cup competition. Results were;- Group 1 happy 10 v 21 Johnstonian Group 2 Shannon 8 v 12 Broomhill Ultra Johnstonian did what their team couldn't by reaching the final whereas @happy followed their team by falling at the semi final. @Broomhill Ultra is about to be rewarded for his original idea while Irvine Meadow fan @Shannon sees their hopes of salvaging something from a miserable season dashed. The last two are;- Grand Final Johnstonian v Broomhill Ultra Winner gets 40 notes and a score for the gallant loser. The best of luck to you guys. Fixtures for Saturday 27th April are;- Arthurlie v Auchinleck Talbot Gartcairn v Hurlford United Maybole Juniors v St. Roch's Larkhall Thistle v Cumbernauld United West Park United v Lanark United BSC Glasgow v Giffnock You all must know the teams very well by now so expecting big scores! Good luck everyone!

I like reading your updates but you really need to stop saying that. I'm willing to bet that you actually verbalise the phrase constantly.

I know. Imagine anyone suggesting that Beith who went top of the league today and have mostly home games left to play should win the league. How disrespectful you all are to suggest that teams who have lost to top of the league Beith already this season might lose again to in form Beith!

Guglielmo Orso it is not! Mortadella is processed fatty pork with a wee bit of spice, rolled into a big sausage shape and sliced thinly. Nothing like Billy Bear. Peasants!

Watch out for anyone using idioms correctly. They'll definitely NOT be Alex.

I'm not, last time I checked at least.

Yass!!

It's all part of the John Gall/Darvel get-it-right-up-the-Talbot mindset. In which case one says GIRU them Talbot! Quick first goals puts us back in it. Mon the Talbot!

Anoraks are nothing to do with it. It's basic, sporting common sense that dictates that any team finishing top of their league and that league is part of a pyramid should expect to gain promotion to the next rung of that pyramid. Not sure what isn't making sense in that.

Haha aye...although he's right about the SoS clubs stinking the place out. And...we're back!

You keep saying that. It would be fair to say that won't be the case if you're one of the 42 clubs, especially Stranraer/Bonnyrigg/Clyde at the moment.

The system is a bottleneck, the reality has been different for the reasons you have listed. Any pyramid where licensed champions don't automatically get promotion is flawed. The play offs which exist to get into the LL and to get into Scottish League Two are an embarrassment. Add to that the fact that Club 42 don't go straight through the trapdoor and its a minter for the "Scottish Football Pyramid"

Recognise Chris Tarrant but Sally James is looking hellish.

The fact that there are three clubs (potentially) taking part in a play off for one promotion spot is the very definition of bottleneck.

Kirkintilloch Rob Roy 1 v 1 Cumnock Juniors Troon 0 v 1 Glenafton Athletic Whitletts Victoria 3 v 2 Shotts Bon Accord Glasgow Perthshire 2 v 4 Kilsyth Rangers Bellshill Athletic 2 v 2 Threave Rovers Glenvale 5 v 1 Saltcoats Victoria ETA- A definite last roll of the dice feel about this week.

Oh, so did I. Anyway, Beith look like winning the Premier Division. They should do well in the play-off.

In the name of fun.

He's right mate. You can't talk about professional embarrassment then advocate finishing 2nd in your league yet going up just because you have the right boxes ticked or more resources than the club who finishes ahead of you. I, for one am against this notion of promoting the highest placed licensed club! Or as it should more commonly be known, the "Make sure Clydebank get up even though they're not good enough" rule

Aye it was a bad one. The midges had a better game than the spaghetti-armed Thorniewood keeper as well. Are you in the video Sarge? I looked for someone with a can of diet coke to no avail.

There's nothing fortunate or free hit like about winning your league and getting promoted. You almost sound like you're happy with a play off.

As is his public profile and popularity which I really don't get as he's not funny and is actually a bit creepy.

Are both games on tonight?

the only thing I'd say is you need to be careful with third party booking sites, especially in peak season. Companies will give priority to people booking directly through their website to the point where if they have no cars you will have to wait until there are. Also, worth checking Arnold Clark rental (I know). Their prices fluctuate but can sometimes be good in comparison even to agents. Only thing is that they have a surcharge if it's out of hours.
