That's very odd then and would merit the statement.
Particularly given that we extended their away allocation twice when we didn't need to so far this season.

Would have much preferred if we had moved our midweek game until next weekend like United. Anyone any idea why we haven't?
We were due to play Airdrie next weekend, but they're playing in the Challenge Cup final.

So... why does the SFA have 4th officials at Championship games on the telly, but doesn't on Saturdays? I mean, a 4th official makes much more sense at RRFC v DAFC than it does tonight.
For a TV game, it won't get massively delayed (or even stopped) if an official gets injured and gives someone to put the stoppage time up. Suspect the League 1 games live on Alba will also have one.

Back in for another season or seaside league mediocrity

Cup result
Curmudgeon beats markf268/ @true_rover by resignation
It looks like it might be a while before the semi final draw so I'll arrange a winter training camp in the Algarve for the squad.
Well played, felt totally outplayed in that.

P&B CUP - Winter 23/24
Ok people. You can tell the BBC and ITV to ram their wall-to-wall FA Cup coverage. Here's the draw for the *real* cup.
The bairn is now asking for £2 to do these draws going forward! Clearly the prestige of the job isn't enough in itself any more.
Same setup as before:
Standard Rules
1 Day Per Move
Blitz ReplaysBest of luck to everyone, and a belated Happy New Year to you all.
Spreadsheet updated here:

Win for me over Invergowrie Arab

8 and 17 have both been played as far as I can check from my archive with wins for me (markf268) (please someone correct me if I'm wrong!!)
16 now reported as defeat for me, 22 still ongoing and I think we haven't played 19 so sent an invite (again correct me if I'm wrong
)

It was only installed in 2018! According to newspaper reports at the time the works cost around half a million pounds. Not sure what the costs for relaying the surface are.
I would assume less to relay as you would only be doing the surface rather than the foundations that were put in.

Did that game not end up 10 vs 9?
Pretty sure it ended 9v9 as Airdrie lost a player to injury having used all their subs towards the end.

Are the games televised at that stage or will it be the Saturday?
Funny both derbies drawn were also this weekends fixtures
1 game picked for the BBC, probably on a Monday night.

Not so much petty, but something that gets right on my tits in a McGlashan fashion:
How when somewhere like Brechin appears on the news, it's always shown as "Brechin, Scotland", but when it's somewhere of comparable size Down South that's shown, it'll be "Somewhere-upon-Something, Derbyshire". Scotland's just lumped together as one entity, pandering to the geographical ignorance of those elsewhere in the UK.
Similarly, Fife is almost always referred to like it's a town rather than naming where the event actually happened.

Doncaster has throughout his tender made shit decisions that are of no benefit to the Scottish game or supporters. This Saturday blackout is archaic.
One problem with removing the blackout is attendances aren't just going against streaming the game, it's people having simple, legitimate access at home or the pub to Man City/Liverpool/Man Utd games at the same time.

Doesn't look like we are getting a Friday night game this season. Had a look at the bbc scotland schedule and we aren't on it.
There will be two home games at some point. They've not even announced half of the games in the contract yet.

Draw between markf268 and RBWatson - one blunder gave an opportunity for me to win but was immediately followed by one of my own which meant a draw was inevitable.
