Yes, but it was the Tories/coalition who made sure those not responsible were the ones who paid for it.

That would be post 2010 austerity. By the time of that year's General Election the economy was in recovery. It was George Osborne's first budget that killed that recovery stone dead and entrenched austerity for a decade.

Not necessarily. It can be hyphenated as 'no-one'. However, in a sentence like, "No one person has a monopoly on wisdom," it definitely has to be two words.

They've been waiting for an excuse for that ever since the leagues recombined. Probably waiting till Dundee Utd and Dundee were both back in the top flight with both Edinburgh teams there as well, with the likes of Hamilton, Livingston and Ross County having been relegated.

There are loads of rules that are different between England and Scotland - and always have been.

It was the change strip, for a few seasons I think. In those days in Scotland it was the home side that changed if there was a colour clash.

I forgot Muirton too.

No they weren't. ICT were Inverness Caledonian and Inverness Thistle, Ross County were .... Ross County; and Livingston were Meadowbank Thistle (and before that Ferranti Thistle.) They didn't just come out of nowhere. Just noticed you may have meant new to the top four leagues. Apologies.

1) All but Ross County, Elgin and Cove. Edit: forgot New St Mirren Park. (Only Scottish ground I've been to and not seen Sons play at is Grant Street Park, Inverness.) I've also seen Sons at Old Bayview, Annfield, Firs Park, Shielfield, New Kilbowie, Broomfield, Shawfield, Old Douglas Park. Edited to add : forgot Brockville. (Sadly I missed Cathkin - and Raydale.) And outwith Scotland, Park Hall Stadium, Oswestry. 2) All but Ross County, Elgin and Cove. 3) Boghead, first away was Hampden to see Queen's play the Sons in the 1960s. 4) Balmoor - this season. 5) After Boghead (natch,) Firs Park, followed by Glebe Park, then Cliftonhill - all nostalgia fests, football as it was and as it should be. 6) I don't have a least favourite.

To be fair, that's the best version of Geordie Munro I've heard.

At this rate Fort might even catch Turriff or Clach...

The English Football League only relegates two from a bottom division of 24 clubs. That's 8% of its clubs, about 3% of the whole league. And you expect a division of ten to lose two teams (20% of its clubs) at its bottom end every season? That's nearly 5% of the SPFL's total clubs. Is there any league in the world where that happens? (3 from 16 in the LL would be nigh on 19%.)

That could be a season too far for Forbes... But at least we've got one body for next season signed up.

Got a gal in Kalamazoo?

F*** me. No.

Well, it's a body. But one thing we weren't lacking was midfielders.

No. I spent the first 70 or so minutes of that game wondering why I'd travelled half the length of the country to watch us play like we'd never seen each other before. The two goals were magical but the overall performance was way short of inspiring. There was magic in the sheer scale of the turn around but it was, let's face it, totally undeserved on the balance of play. The play-off final win on the other hand was a joy from start to finish. We were in total control. I wasn't at the 4-3 Falkirk game but that must have been brilliant. The 3-1 game there the next year was sublime. All our good results there have been. And what about the 2-2s at Easter Road and Tannadice? (I wasn't at the 1-0 at the latter.) And the 5-1 at Alloa which did Hartley in?

Agreed, but you won't find it on show in this one. This season our home strip is yellow (yes, yellow) and black stripes, and our away one is plain white. Okay at home we look a bit like Borussia Dortmund - but that's the only resemblance.

Goal difference should put Berwick above Selkirk?

"On our behalf ." That means "for us." I think you meant "on our part" which is "by us." sure the same player had a free header It was actually our other centre-half but it was still a warning to your defence. Unheeded.

Maybe it was the angle we had. All the Sons fans around me agreed Brennan had got a hand (or fingertips) to it.

It is a word but spelled ordinariness.

Brennan got his fingers to it to tip it onto the bar.

McCluskey was surprisingly effective yesteday.

He missed quite a few in the second half.
