A Buckie director told me last year that Peterhead and Cove directors warned him that visiting officials get lousy hospitality in the SPFL compared to the Highland League and he had no interest in promotion.
Buckie don't bother with the post-match hospitality when they lose, so why would it matter to them?

You lot without McGrath and still with Price next season will be some laugh.
Mackie injecting money into the club in an attempt to gain promotion whilst keeping Price would be the definitive example of an oxymoron.
A classic case of 'heart over brains' from somebody who's a successful businessman away from the game.

That Record article is an absolute cringe of a read.
Will the toys also be thrown out the pram next season if Buckie face a Broch team riddled with injuries/ suspensions in a rearranged fixture, or we have to play Buckie (or any other side) with a weakened squad? "Why did they choose that particular day instead of the week after when it would have been fairer, wah".
Looking closer to home where the league's top goalscorer was demoted to the bench might be a better place to explain how we lost out on GD. A single point against the Broch or Buckie would have avoided that utter embarrassment of an interview.

So could Strathspey be nominated by the HL to play EK then? Why does it have to be Brechin?
This is where I have to take off my Brechin bonnet and say that I don't think it should be passed down.
As much as "an externally funded billy big baws club without a decent ground shouldn't stop the progression of other ambitious clubs" might seem a sound principle, it would be absolutely mental for every playoff semi-final to be LL winners vs Strathspey (in a hypothetical case that Brechin didn't have bronze, or has been promoted already). Saying "give it to the next team down as long as they're not a certain standard of pi5h" doesn't seem particularly practical.

owners and directors who are willing to invest in their club and show a bit of ambition
A roundabout way of saying 'buying success', much like Man City showing the ambition to play in the CL rather than settle for mediocrity.

Those button operated car boots that open at a glacial speed. Just let me close the ba5tard door.

I've been mostly wearing the same shoes for over a decade now, and they feel brand new. That said, I only bought them last month as I just buy an identical pair every few years once the sole wears through seeing as they've not been discontinued yet. Quickest shoe shopping ever.
ETA: I regularly wear my Scotland strip from 2006 (the 'Gary Caldwell vs France' one) whilst hill walking / caving as it makes a handy light underlayer and stays warm even when wet.

Fair play to Buckie. I didn’t have them winning this at the start of the month

We pip them with a late couple of goals last year, they respond by pipping us on goal difference.
Hate to say it, but told ya.

Most HL clubs only tweet goals so no tweets usually means no further goals.
Unless you're Buckie. They seem to be very slow at reporting opposition goals, sometimes only acknowledging them via the HT & FT updates.

Almost had a heart attack there until I clocked that 'RR' refers to Rob Roy rather than Raith Rovers.

Being east of the strait at Craigton Point, it's actually the (Inner) Moray Firth.

I was recently informed by my mother that if she died anytime soon* then I'd automatically inherit all of the timeshare guff that's she's been trying to offload for years (including asking me if I'd want it before I told her where to go), and I'd have to continue paying for it whether I wanted to use it or not.
It makes me wonder how many of these sly little ticking timebombs are hidden in various other T&Cs.
*I actually need to ask her if it'll get passed down as part of an estate regardless of timing.

Today's itchy throat and occasional sneeze marks my first day of the hayfever season, and it's only mid-April.
Grass hasn't even starting growing properly, so I'm assuming it's the trees. Death to the leafy deciduous b*****ds.

I won't lie, I've been guilty of a few faux pas during work in my time. Ones I'd be expected to be called up on had I been caught.

Supermarket sack someone for taking bags. Must be more to it than that?
Aye, a valid TTTTT, and theft is theft. The value should be irrelevant imo. Might seem trivial at first, but it's a slippery slope when one starts arguing that "theft is fine up to a certain level".
If tired (feasible on nightshift tbf) then it's more likely to have been poor judgement rather than a mistake (especially when you know exactly how the machines work). A reason in that instance, but not an excuse.
Harsh, I know.
ETA: a key underlying principle: what would Sainsbury's have sought to do if they caught a shoplifter (putting the overstretched police thing aside)? I suspect it wouldn't be a mere slap on the wrist. It would be at least a store ban, and you need consistency.

Its fine, i mean theyre all just in a big tube of each others farts. Nobody's going anywhere.
Exactly. Plus, if kids truly cared about their safety then they'd pay some attention to the safety brief. Even that always says "put your own lifejacket on first before helping others", so even the airline is effectively saying get them tae f***.

If I had the sort of money where I could fly in a private jet I would do it in a heartbeat. It must be one of the best perks of being super rich.
I think if I had the money and young kids, I'd fly private whilst sticking the kids on a regular Ryanair* flight.
Not just for the peace, but also so the nanny can get some duty free in, and if we're paying her to look after the kids already then they may as well go with her**. Also, understanding how voters from the lower echelons of society act, and the practicalities of changing terminals are valuable life skills.
*otherwise you get an overall loss when extra seat prices exceed the duty free savings. They also get to see more countryside with their destination airport being 50 miles from where I'd be.
** in case you're probably wondering, kids under 17yo get no duty-free allowance, and even if they did it's non-transferable.

Going for a long dog walk and then stopping for a pint at the end of it is a tremendous way to spend an afternoon.
There's also the added benefit of dogs being babe magnets.

I was of that opinion until the final day last season. Winning that league was one of the most memorable days I've had supporting City in around 30 years.
For me it was indeed superb, but entirely about keeping promotion hopes alive. Without the playoff qualification it would have been no different to winning the HL cup, for me at least.
Will obviously be different to fans for which winning the closed-shop league would have been everything for years.
