Championship - 9th - 4th - 12th - Championship You've unfortunately reminded me of Mellonball there.

I'm not sure that's completely true in all honestly. The BBC (network) went all out for Darvel, and in the past have done some pretty big stuff for Scottish Cup stories.

Pretty sure Sam North visited them in one his videos and they were relatively keen on going up to the SPFL.

Presume they'll have a clash that weekend? That seems quite a ridiculous one to get wrong!

Dundee's run last season was pretty bad towards the title as well.

If Sky wanted to, they could stick the Bottom Six games at 13:00 on the Sunday and it wouldn't clash with the EPL's 16:00 Kickoffs

Some of you need to have a word with yourselves. You're on for your best season in decades, and at very worst you'll be two knockout games away from the Premiership. Plus we still have a tendency to bottle things from here. This Airdrie side absolutely embarrassed us at Tannadice only a few weeks ago as well, so it's fair to say McCabe has a knack for beating the better sides in the division.

To be brutally honest, it's been downhill since Anna Signeul left. Shelley Kerr carried the momentum early on, until the Argentina game from then on it collapsed under her. PML has been poor, but the Scottish FA's decision to offer him an extension is truly baffling. The players, however, have to take a lot of criticism. There's no doubt there's quality in the squad, but they clearly fail to show it in a Scotland shirt, and the performance against England was one of the worst performances by any Scotland team, and it genuinely looked like they were trying to chuck the game. I hope they do turn it round, starting tonight, but at a time when the SWPL, and Women's Football more generally is going from strength to strength it's absolutely unforgivable that SWNT are in total freefall.

Mate, Arbroath and Queen's Park have been on the verge of winning this division in the previous two seasons.

I assume he means this:

Believe it can be - as it was installed at Thistle very quickly for the Playoff last season.

This is something that has got much worse recently (certainly since Covid), seems to be a fair few idiots in our support too that like the Colombian marching powder.

Agree. A quick montage would take all of 3 minutes to show the goals from Saturday. Don't see how that effects anything in the running of a Sunday show. Especially when you have a relative borefest like today.

Good News State ownership of public transport actually works...

He could literally have turned around and looked at the big screen which would have said.

Just back in the house, a very good game that. Lochee United were well on top in the first half, and really should have been two or three up. Was very much the opposite in the second with Broughty scoring an equaliser and missing several chances. Still don't know how they skied the open goal over the bar. Felt like it would be a matter of time before the 'Ferry got the winner, but Lochee won a soft penalty with 15 to go, scored by Hay who got the first I think(?), before Bobby Linn scored an excellent team move to kill the game. Good crowd at the Quest too. Thought there was about 400+ there.

The "race" for the title pretty much can be sealed up this Wednesday. Broughty host Lochee at the Quest Arena. Anything other than a win for Lochee, which looks unlikely based off their 3-0 defeat a few weeks back, and the title is heading to the Ferry. Even if Lochee were to win, they would need Broughty to at least draw once more - and win their remaining games to win the title. Very much an uphill task. Remaining fixtures: Realistically, you can't see Broughty dropping any points from now to the end of the season - with Tayport being the only side in the top half they have to face - although they edged them 3-2 at home earlier in the season. While Lochee Utd have 5 of the top 10 sides to face before the end of the season. No promotion or relegation, but it looks like Broughty Athletic will make their Scottish Cup debut in 2024-25!

They only have one more game at Tannadice, and they're keeping it for the final day. Which based on current form will be where Thistle win the title.

What's quite interesting is the Prize Money difference between 3rd and 5th is about £200k this season. That plus the added gate of Playoffs (I know it's split) makes a massive difference to the coffers of a club of Morton's stature.

It's a guilty pleasure in life, sorry. Must do better.

That's quite enjoyable to listen to in all fairness. Especially when someone like Loy calls him out on it.

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.

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
