  1. It's a guilty pleasure in life, sorry. Must do better.
  2. That's quite enjoyable to listen to in all fairness. Especially when someone like Loy calls him out on it.
  3. I think, in principle, this is a good idea, it's the first step to formalising the bottom end of the pyramid. Optional Promotion and Relegation should become the norm from the bottom of the respective "Semi-Pro/Regional Leagues" - I know it's not a blanket level in the pyramid but it's as close to that as we'll get with our terrible geography. Allowing the Amateur FA to call it's respective leagues as Tier 11 in the West, Tier 10 in the East, Tier 8 in the North or Tier 7 in the Midlands is a sensible proposition. Formalising promotion and relegation based off basic standards (access to an enclosed ground, Quality Mark approval) would be the next step. I think it's really important to allow a clear pathway for all clubs to rise through the ranks from the Premiership to Strathclyde Amateur League Division 1B.
  4. Stephen McGowan of the Daily Mail, who's quite up to date on the SPFL's rules suggested that plastic pitches is 9-3 vote, as it's a rule change as opposed to an Amendment to the Articles of Association - which would be 11-1
  5. A lot of people are trying to spin this as good news, when in reality it was a contractual obligation on Premier/Viaplay to show three matches free-to-air between 2022 and 2024. ITV4 showed the Ukraine NL match and obviously broadcasters were holding out for a potential playoff semi and final for the final two picks, which thankfully wasn't required. BBC Scotland must have got these games for practically nothing, and get some good PR out of it.
  6. Weird question but if Tayport or more likely Lochee United were to go up, would they still be eligible to compete in their current cup competitions such as the Interregional North-East Regional Cup
  7. The obvious solution for the EoS is to put LEAFA, Borders League and Kingdom Leagues officially underneath the Third Division, and allow clubs that win those leagues into the Third Division should they meet basic requirements and are willing to come up, with a view to eventually introducing relegation if/when the Third Division reaches capacity.
  8. Don't care too much either way. People who think banning plastic pitches will somehow make Scottish Football amazing are morons
  9. I just took the Transfermarkt "after 26 matchdays" table
  10. Officially, you can only listen to BBC shows while in the broadcast area (the UK). In totally unrelated news, VPN's such as Surfshark or NordVPN set to the UK can access streaming services, like say BBC iPlayer, Sounds or STV Player from wherever you are in the world.
  11. FTFY. I think if we go up, and that's a big if, then he's probably earned himself a go at the Premiership with us. The more immediate issue with Goodwin is that he's a bottler in the games that matter, it was the same with Aberdeen (Darvel, Hibs etc.), and in three games against Raith this season. I don't know how he can fix it, as it seems more a mentality issue than a tactical one. It should be said though, that most seasons having 52 points after 26 games would have you at least 5 clear of the second placed side - QP were four clear with 47 points at the same point last season, so Raith deserve a lot of credit.
  12. So the title race: Broughty are in control with a 14 point lead over Lochee United and a 23 point lead over North End. Lochee Utd would need to win their in-hand games and beat Broughty Athletic to get within touching distance. The next few weeks are crucial with Broughty playing against Downfield, Panmure and East Craigie before the de facto title decider at the Quest on the 27th, while Lochee only have North End of sides in the top half - who still are in the title race, just but still have 15 games to play!
  13. Nah the old system had serious issues and couldn't take payments properly. We had issues several times with both Visa and Mastercard on the old system. What they should have done though, was test this out for the Women's Nations League before going all-in on the ST Member Sales with 38,000 members trying to log-in at once.
  14. It will be us vs Thistle on the final day that the BBC will show
