Would obviously think AZ are the favourites and might win handsomely, but did Aberdeen not beat Groningen a few years ago?

I guess it’s not realistic for a variety of reasons, but given Forfar passed him up, is it worth a call to Griffiths? Could even take donations towards his salary I’m sure. Totally agree with the above. The worst case scenario I’m imagining is relegated to the Lowland League, club vote in favour of keeping B Teams in that league then I need to find a new team to support. Hopefully things don’t play out like that.

No trialists at all yesterday?

Not loving any of the signings so far. Youth players, Lowland League players and a recently relegated Cowdenbeath player. Doing my usual worried at the start of a season routine.

Is Neil Watt involved in some capacity with Stenhousemuir?

Jack, Callum or someone else?

Are tickets from the original game still valid for this one?

I mean, it kind of is. Article basically touches on it, but towns across Scotland are filled with Old Firm fans. It is not healthy for football in this country. The description of cartel capitalism is perfect.

Thanks for everyone’s thoughts. I’ve been reading all posts with interest. I have an interview arranged for the new job in a couple of weeks time. I’m not sure whether I’ll get it but I think I’ll keep looking at jobs in different industries going forward.

Considering taking quite a hefty pay cut (~40%) from a job I don’t enjoy to embark on a new career path. Obviously I’d be starting at the bottom again but longer term I might be able to work my way back up to a similar level. Is that ridiculous? Have you ever taken a pay cut? Would you take a pay cut? Any horror stories that should serve as a warning to me?

Yes, thank you for linking me in.

New golfer here. How do you get over the fear of hitting in front of other people and also the anxiety of should I let them through, they’re letting me through etc?

Sounds good, thank you.

I’m a bad player but trying to improve so would quite like to play next time if possible.

It was great to see our captain wearing a rainbow armband. It was extremely disappointing to hear a Stranraer fan shout a homophobic remark at a Stenhousemuir player.

I’ve been thinking recently that maybe a football club does have a natural decline, and there’s no doubt that Stranraer are on the decline and have been for decades (in terms of local interest). Maybe that’s okay as I got to enjoy some good times. I also read that the Lowland League would be the end of the club but I see no reason why it would have to be. I’ll celebrate a Stranraer goal against Drummore United just as happily as I would a goal against Stenhousemuir.

Sad to say it, but I said after the Elgin game that I was fairly confident we would finish bottom this season. It was clear that we were going to struggle this year. Team is too small and inexperienced. Hope I’m wrong.

That’s way too reasonable a post for this thread.

What about this apparently unused set for £100. Does that seem reasonable?

Anyone able to recommend a decent beginners set of clubs please?

Hi guys, I’m almost 30 yet I still dress pretty much the same way that I did as a teenager. I want to buy some nice clothes but not sure which website or brands you would recommend? I don’t know too much about fashion but I hope I’ll be able to sniff out the joke responses. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Celtic just signed Bosun Lawal from Watford to play for their colts team this season. He is Irish. I thought the (supposed) point of this was to help develop players for the Scotland national team?

Anyone able to suggest a ticket site for the Croatia game?

Is there anywhere I could buy tickets for the Scotland Croatia game? Checked the UEFA ticket portal but no sign of that game.
