I'm never sure if he's serious or trying to be ultra sarcastic. His shtick gets quite tiresome quite quickly which is part of the reason the site doesn't get much traffic IMO.

Does most of his fishing on Twitter these days, fairly successful and has fans of Scottish clubs on strings 7 nights a week, mainly those of the OF. Some of his stuff is so obvious I can never understand how people fall for it.

Jimmy's patter was wearing thin years ago so it's quite distressing to learn he's still at it.

He still reels them in by the thousands on Twitter. I got bored of it a while ago but the attention he gets, despite clearly being at it, is hilarious.

It was set up by folk who were pissed off at Brian from dotnet being close to the Masterton regime and banning posters IIRC. I started off using it occasionally but it hardly got any traffic and was full off some of the folk from the old website who thought they were funny but were just try-hards.

Worse is that a couple of the mods started acting like .net mods, one of the things they were complaining about and one of the reasons they began the site. That lost them a few posters early on.

Who actually cares what the stadium is called? I still refer to Hamilton’s ground as New Douglas Park and Livi’s ground as Almondvale also just found out that Dens Park isny even called that anymore

Same folk that whimpered insanely when BBC stopped doing the classified results.

Even minor change is not to be trusted.

Me too. Mastermind with the topic football stadium names is off the table though 😂

Long had he been with you? Did he play friendly games etc?

Wondering how far away he is from match fitness.

Would have thought you would have offered him a better deal than us.

I'd say a fortnight - 3 weeks. We were told he was training and was still rumoured about 3 weeks later, then he went on trial to Dundee. He didn't play in any of our pre-season/league cup games. Could have been the odd behind closed door/bounce game but we weren't told of that, just that he trained but trained well.

Hard to say, maybe we did but he wanted to play a league up.

Not sure how much we're offering these days. Would of thought it would be at least the same as any lower half pay scale championship club.

Could be a few things though, ranging from you guys pushed the boat out a bit more than we wanted to pay, location better for him. I'm sure his from Ayrshire or simply wants to play at a higher level above all else.

I was a kid watching the pars in the old division two. Saw them go up successive divisions. I was a teenager bouncing amongst the idiots in the cage against Ardrie and falkirk in the early 90"s, absolutely loved it! I was a season ticket holder during Jimmy Callderwood, David Hay and Stephen Kenny. Took a hiatus due to life and having children. Kind of switched off football until this season. Managed two games this year, Alloa and today at Kelty.

Missed being at the games but by Christ we are shite!
