    There was near silence on this thread prior to and during the game from non-Clyde fans, yet after the final whistle the parasites start predictably emerging to spit their poison. How very sad indeed.

    It makes their shallow lives seem worthwhile to moralise about other people who can't reply

    Leighton McIntosh plays with Wrexham. Think the standard may have dipped.

    A mixture of our youth and seniors have beat AFC Fylde convincingly the last couple of years in pre season who are only 3 points behind Wrexham. They do seem to have a great fan base, but the standard doesn’t look to be all that great. Another comparison can be all they lower league English donkeys Falkirk got from teams a league or 2 above the conference. 

    I hope you're right. Do you remember the Ayr - Fylde  scores?

  3. I spoke to Big Marv (Andrews) a few months back about his time at Wrexham and the Conference. He said it was a high standard with a lot of big clubs. Given the population down there (ten times ours) there isnt enough room for all the full time teams to get into the four divisions of the Football League. Compare the size of Conference clubs like Torquay, Notts County and Chesterfiled to the likes of Kelty Hearts and, Dalbeattie Star.

    Last time I checked Boreham Wood was located in Hertfordshire and not Armenia, so there was absolutely no reason whatsoever for Dunfermline to pay for flights at all. 

    Thanks for confirming that Dunfermline's predictably ludicrous spending was in fact the reason for them 'losing money' on the competition though. 

     

    Right. Dunfermline have always considered themselves to be royalty and live accordingly. Elgin City, by contrast travelled down on a tatty bus to play TNS, stepped off it more or less ont o the pitch to play the match, then back home again. Maybe a wee bit too frugal, which resulted in them getting a doing, but a coach trip with an overnight stay would be normal.

    Stranraer 1-3 Rovers - fresh off the back of disappointing Scottish football by rolling over to a colt team *spits* Stranraer once again sample defeat to a Raith side kicking into gear.
     

    Stranraer had a few of their South of Scotland team playing.
