Get is an irregular verb. Its three parts are get, got, got.
(You say potahto, I say potayto.)
For the whole of my life 'gotten' has been an exclusively USian form - never, ever, spoken by any of my interlocutors in this country.
(You say tomayto, I say tomahto.)
Let's call the whole thing off.

Look up '"To get" in the Perfect Tense'...
pa. t. got, obs. gat; pa. p. got.

Nope... the imbecilic 'got' is the lazy abomination here. The lexicological equivalent of 'could of/would of'!
What has lexicology got to do with it? (Note, not 'gotten' to do with it.) Words change from their lexicological origins over time.
In my Chambers dictionary the past tense of 'get' is rendered as 'got'. (Gotten is given as being archaic or USian.)
Could of/would of are just solecisms due to 1) people not listening properly 2) not thinking/knowing about how verb tenses/moods work .

The National team has been performing below expectations so give a the idea a chance. Decry it after 5-7 years when it maybe can be seen that it doesn't work.
Has it? Or have those expectations been set too high.? I want to see Scotland succeed as much as anybody - but I don't see how packing top division Scottish teams with foreign players can do that in any way. Or how a one year experiment will suddenly make Scotland into world beaters.

Oh dear. 'Gotten' is exactly correct in the sentence.
'Gotten' is an abomination. the word is 'got.'

Not the right forum for this I know but it's amazing what a short memory these c***s have.Another breakaway (cos it worked so well the last time when aw c**t went bust) and blaming clubs like ours for holding the game back.FFS
John Nelms sent Dee's vote into a quarantine folder for a whole month.Everyone screaming for him to get the vote in and he couldnae find it.f**k off not everyone was born yesterday.
Sorry ragin when i read this shite....think I'll go oot for a walk...
Surprise surprise.
When the SPFL was set up after the Rangers collapse I said that when all the so-called big clubs got back into the top division - which with Dundee Utd, Hearts and Dundee now there they have - they'd pull up the drawbridge and cast the rest of us adrift again.

You say this as is if it were a bad thing.
Cliftonhill is a fantastic ground to visit. (If you remember what most grounds were like in the 1950s.)

Aye still early but I’d be surprised if you did a nosedive, I’d expect mid table at worst but probably playoffs, League 1 had some decent teams in it this season Dumbarton were Championship until very recently and were 9th and a big name like Falkirk obviously took a few beatings You weren’t cut adrift at the bottom until near the end. Station Park is always a tough place to go to and get an away win. Best of luck next season to you guys.We had one player left from those times and absolutely none of the outlook that kept us there so long.

See Kelty Hearts for details.
In the lower divisions of the SPFL they'll still be semi-pro.

I’d like to see the LL relegate 3 teams to allow the EoS WoS and SoS champions to all move up. To me that’s the point of a pyramid that teams find their level.
What if the bottom three don't fall neatly into the EoS, WoS and SoS? They might all be for example EoS catchment meaning at least four relegations from EoS Premier and similar in the lower EoS divisions. Is that fair?

So sorry you guys have gone down. Brechin is one of my favourite away days. Glebe Park is a lovely ground.
Hope you get back up soon.

Nisbet played around 10 games for us in 2015 and pushed us to the brink of the League 2 promotion play offs - oh those halcyon days - scoring some memorable goals including a bergkamp esque number, a 25 year volley off the crossbar and a last minute winner on a Tuesday night up in Elgin. I don't think I'll ever forgive my mother for not letting me go that
That must have had quite some elevation on it.

I, for one, would love to see the “accredited evidence-based academic research published in Journal” written by Steven fucking Gerrard
Or Johan Cruyff. Or Pep Guardiola. Or John Collins. Or Craig Levein.

Steven Gerrard,
504 appearances for Liverpool, 473 as captain, 114 England caps, and just won the league as Rangers Manager. Won the Champions League, 2 x FA Cups, 3 x UEFA Cups. Played in 3 World Cups and 3 x Euros.
How many appearances did he make in a B-team lower down the English pyramid?

Do they think people are convinced that it'll be for one season only if they say for one season only at the end of each sentence?
The press release doth protest too much, methinks.

After checking this topic one thing is certain - the overwhelming majority of comments made are NOT made by supporters of lowland league teams.
At least, as a MINIMUM, 250 comments from the 450 comments made so far are from supporters of teams outwith the lowland league. I reckon there is also at least another 50 comments made by supporters that I strongly suspect are in the same category !!
Would those same supporters accept any other teams supporters speak for them ?????
Not a chance !!!
Fans of teams not in the Lowland league have as much right to comment on this topic as anyone else. Particularly since if their team is in the LL catchment they may be either promoted or relegated to it at some time in the future.

Ah, so it’s a straight 50% vote needed to carry it through then?
Otherwise it’s not a democracy....Then General Elections in Britain are not democratic. You don't need 50% of the votes in a constituency to get elected to Westminster.

The end of the McCabe era was pretty painful. We probably scored more goals then, though.
What about that whole year we went without winning? Well before McCabe's time.

You'd have certainly taken this situation when we were minutes from a draw on Tuesday.
It can always all swing inside a minute (or two.)

Jones BTW is our worst striker since Chris Ewing.
I can't remember ever seeing a striker whose shot is as weak as Jones's is.
