The game started with 7 players so there had to be a rule to cover that. The game stopped at 6 players so there had to a rule to cover that scenario as well. There will be a Constitution and Rules of the league that should cover such scenarios.
I think it's in the laws of the game - ie football as a whole - that a game must be stopped if the number of players on one side falls below a limit.* Presumably then a game can begin if that limit hasn't been breached.
I remember a gaem where reading of a game where Neil Warnock was manger of one side which had gone down to nine men and he was actively encouraging his players to be sent off so the game would be abandoned.
*I had thought the limit was 8 but it must be 7.

Where Manchester United play.
Oh, I know. I've been to the Imperial War Museum North just over the road from it. And the Lowry over the Ship Canal.

If you get more Premiership sides wanting part of it, the League 2 clubs are eminently bribable. I'd say 2-3 years rather 5.
I doubt their supporters are, though.

Do you think Arbroath will see L2 any time in the next 10-15 years?
They'll regress when Dick Campbell leaves. And maybe even as soon as next season.

Meadowbank up sticks and moved to Livingston, it was the same club just under another name
I remember Sons playing Livi for the first time at Almondvale and the Livi programme referred to it as their first home game against the Sons. Not a hint that we'd played Meadowbank Thistle many times before. That programme clearly implied that the writers/editors felt Livingston was a new club.
Not that this sort of thing is restricted to Livi. I was also annoyed when I visited Caley Stadium for a Sons game that home fans were saying, as if Inverness Caledonian and Inverness Thistle had never existed, that they were only twenty or so years old.

Sorry to see you guys go.
Maybe you'll be the first to get back.

Just sent this to the club office email account.I am emailing today about the present state of the club.I have been a Dumbarton supporter for over 50 years (albeit long-distance for the most part as I have lived in Fife for at least 30 of those) but have never felt so much despair at its prospects - not even when we went over a year without a win; not even when we finished dead last in the bottom Division of the Scottish Football League.I have no confidence in the present owners, no confidence in the board and no confidence in the present management of the playing side and I see no hope of improvement in the short term. As things stand any chance or promotion next season is a pipe-dream and there is the real prospect of being relegated from the SPFL altogether - a situation from which the club would not recover for a long time, if ever.I am sure I am far from the only Sons supporter who has these feelings. Many will be so disillusioned that they will cease to support the club - either via season ticket non-renewal or not turning up at the gate - until these matters change: and perhaps not even then.In the hope that it may lead to a concentration of minds to avert a real threat to the club's existence I would ask that you please convey these thoughts and fears to the board.Yours in sadness,5

I actually think a lot of the time he wasn’t even braced or expecting the shot which of course is a criticism of him, especially when it happens over and over again, but it’s also probably a symptom of him not being used to having complete donkeys infront of him.
I’d have him over Ramsbottom every day of the week.
but it’s also probably a symptom of him not being used to having complete donkeys infront of him.
Arguably he should have got used to that after a few games.
I’d have him over Ramsbottom every day of the week.
Indeed.

It's fucking shite. Owens bar was alright last I was there, but that was years ago. The ground is a bin that holds no romantic sway.
Cliftonhill is one of my favourite grounds. It takes me right back to when I started watching football. As a child, in the 50s. It's just a pity the terracing opposite the stand can't be used these days.

Did he not hold his nerve and sink a penalty that night?
Doubt it. He didn't score for us until the next season, as I recall.

That was a 3rd round Scottish cup match in January 1998 when Ian Wallace was in charge. I remember a new signing (playing his fourth game for us) going through on the keeper to win the match but the ball bobbled a bit on the Boghead turf. Whatever happened to Paddy Flannery?
Nah. No bobble. Flannery was rubbish at one-on-ones.

I was wondering about this. Is he worse than Paul Martin? Quite a tough call IMO. PM did at least manage a season where he kept us up and went on to be successful at Albion Rovers, I suppose.
Who was manager when we went over a year without a win?

No, the last two seasons have been descent. Freefall is going through a division without touching the sides.
We've done that before. Two seasons in a row, except we were saved from the final plummet by there being no relegation from the bottom tier then.
(Freefall isn't a good description of our plight anyway. Technically freefall is when you feel you're weightless. We are far from feeling weightless. More like being "dragged down by the stone".)

In fact as things stand I fear that DFC could easily now enter freefall.
We entered freefall a couple of seasons ago.

Edinburgh city one of the lowland league founder members.also have progressed up the spfl with a budget which was less than some present LL and HL clubs.
Progressed up the SFL? Theyr'e in the same division as when they got there.
And haven't moved.

Look at the winners of SPFL 1 and SPFL2 Cove Rangers and Kelty.
Both bank-rolled heavily.
And Bo'ness United didn't exactly storm the Lowland League this season.

At the end of the 1993-94 season five clubs were relegated from the 12 team SFL First Division and eight from the 14 team Second Division.
As part of a league reconstruction which is arguably what is happening in the WoSL and EoSL right now.
