Passthebaw Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Firstly, HNY to everyone! It's very disappointing that there has been no senior Scottish football this New Year. We've gone from enthralling local derbies in years gone by to.......nowt! It's garbage! So it's fabulous to see not only football on the card at our level this weekend, but so many local derbies! Well done to the fixtures secretary! Locally I could go see Craigroyston v Leith, Mussy v Tranent, Tynie v Hutchie or more. Fabulous! Let's hope many teams can attract & keep some fans on the lookout for some football action over the next 3 weeks of this unnecessary Winter shutdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't come as a surprise as there's not been any football on 1st January in the past two years either. The matches around this time of year have been set up to produce derbies: Edited January 2, 2020 by Ginaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
