It takes you back to the 50s because it hasn't changed since.

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.

The biggest thing is, the SPFL2 teams want a smaller relegation so this makes promotion from below small but they are so dumb they don't realize that if they all voted for 2 up n 2 down with a 3rd bottom, top 3 playoff then it means if they are relegated then there is a bigger chance of being promoted, same goes for the Lowland League teams. Think if you ask East Stirlingshire, Berwick Rangers and Brechin City then they would all concur.
A possible three relegations from a ten team league? Would you accept that?

There's quite a bit of parking just outside the ground which is in an industrial estate. The nearest office car park (stones throw from the ground) is used by all fans on match day. If you there before 2.30 you should get a space.
Thanks.

Where's the best place to park for Balmoral Stadium?
It's a ground I've not seen Sons play at. Yet.
This may be my last chance for a long while.

I've been to Cowdenbeath. It was ok. Neither it nor Torry are winning any awards, but at least the sun was out when I was in Cowdenbeath, Cove made a p***k of themselves, and the boozer post-match was showing Octopussy.
Cowdenbeath's okay when the sun shines.
The sun doesn't shine much in Fife.

See you next weekend (feel free to take the B team)
What B team?

Here's another solution, transist the SOS into the WOS system by splitting the table into levels.
1st to 4th of SOS into tier 7 (WOS Division 1)
5th to 7th of SOS into tier 8 (WOS Division 2)
8th to 10th of SOS into tier 9 (WOS Division 3)
11th to 13th of SOS into tier 10 (WOS Division 4)
What if the lower placed SoS teams don't want to go into a WoS Division at all? Would you force them to? They are geographically confined and constrained. Why should they move?
In any case there's a degree of (perhaps unwarranted) entitlement to this discussion. What if the SoS champions actually manage to win the present round robin play-offs to the LL? Granted it's unlikely to happen this season (and maybe in the near future) but if it did it would put a lot of egg on a lot of faces.

I can only see the SPFL accepting a 3rd feeder with the trade off being 4 way playoff between the 3 champions and Club 42.
They wouldn't accept a third feeder. They'd want a play-off between LL east and LL west to decide who'd play-off with HL winner - to then play-off with Club 42.
As I've said before I dont expect the SPFL to open up further until an ex-SPFL team manages to get back up into it, thereby showing it can be done.

I reckon we'll lose that 5th game against nobody, after conceding an OG in the 5th minute.
And a penalty.

I'll be honest, I'm more confident of taking a point away at Airdrie than I am taking all 3 at home to Peterhead. Without the latter the former is useless so hopefully the team can pull it out the bag on Saturday.
I read that as out the bog!!!!

Spain and other leagues with Colts are not comparable. To my knowledge there is no other major football nation on earth with Colts steered only by the wants of two clubs at the expense of others.
Scotland is a major football nation?

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.
