Was Pressley not forced to use the academy in his first full season? A few crackers came out of that
Second full season. First was McManus, Stewart, O'Brien, Olejnik, McLean...

The downside of the Championship, between that lot and Morten way more wallopers to contend with on here.
And Airdrie...

Was there legacy issues with Docherty as to how he never got a chance at the Falkirk job? after all he worked well with Alex Totten as his assistant.
I thought he was Ian McCall's assistant?

Will check it out thanks.

Absolutely smashed it with that home strip lads - looking forward to seeing it in action at the Bairnabeu.
O'Neills have been superb for us this season with all 3 strips hall-of-fame efforts and great leisure gear and so on too.

People said the same about Hibs against Livingston.
I don't think it should be understated how bad yesterday was. The fans turned on the players about about 15 minutes and they just shrunk. This feels like a squad who'll start getting "injuries" because they don't fancy that.
Hamilton?

Alloa have play off games to come so the management will have it drummed into them the importance of going canny.
Falkirk players have the chance to write themselves into the clubs history book and will play out their skins.
Our midfield will be key in protecting a possible make shift defence
It's going to be one hell of a day
I'm going to be in a conference room near Edinburgh Airport!
Absolutely making buttons here already.

Good chance that we could have 4 full backs as our defence next week. Not sure that I'd want MacIver playing at the back? He'd be good in the air obviously, but he looks like his concentration can waver a bit at times for me.
Sammon and Wales will be licking their lips!
My DOOM for this is unchanged; we'll just have to go out and outscore them. Probably will need 4 the way bad luck at the back and refereeing seems to be going...

It's a disgrace.
I have less than zero interest in woman's football, the Brazilian state championship or (hilariously!) the Saudi league. I appreciate others might have.
Can I personalise the Scores/Fixtures page to cut such guff out? No.
Can I at least scan down and see the scorers? Not any more.
The page doesn't even seem to auto-update any more. Joke.
Oh, and they don't seem to have attendances on any of the tabs.
Recommend the SPFL's own pages for after game browsing for folks. Don't know about live stuff.

The new BBC Football page when accessing the live scores is a fucking nightmare. No option to change to the lower leagues. Not really the thread for this but not worth creating a new thread.

So what you are saying is we are more reasonable and Gateshead got humped. Me too.

Bad feeling about this…
Funnily enough I feel we'll be ok here, despite their super run of form.
Alloa next week are giving me the Doom.

You used to get some mental sagas in the FA Cup. I seem to remember Everton being involved in a tie that took in something daft like five replays. Everyone just heartsick of the whole thing by the time it's over.
During harsh winters we'd also have the daft scenario of games being called off multiple times. Wasn't there an early-stage Scottish Cup game in the Eighties that had something like thirty postponements? I seem to remember Huntly being involved, and it made the national news in England when it was finally played.
Inverness Thistle v Falkirk, 1979. 29 postponements.

Would probably have kept them, but not too fussed.
Best ever was when Falkirk beat Thistle 4-3 under the lights at a packed Brockville. Sensational times. Bobby Law

Great to hear Joe is doing well. He is a friend of my son.

Motherwell have evaded relegation twice during this not quite so impressive 40 year period - League Reconstruction saved them in 1986 and the 10,000 seater stadium rule in 2003. They recovered from administration with no points deduction the following season by offering better deals to two Thistle's players and then voting to waive the 10,000 seater rule and relegate Thistle.
Motherwell were also saved from relegation in 1955 by another League Reconstruction. I was expecting a League reconstruction proposal when they were in the relegation zone earlier this season.
An impressively establishment club!
They have been utterly shameless over the years.

I mean, that's him on the steps of Ibrox, performing his famous "Whaurs the deeds?" speech.
Thought I was getting whooshed tbh.

In terms of Scottish football, it's a wild fall which is probably unlikely to be replicated barring a team getting into financial difficulty which renders them uncompetitive over numerous seasons.
The case of Paderborn in Germany in the past decade is the most extreme example of the antithesis of this thread:
13/14 - 2nd in 2.Bundesliga, promoted
14/15 - 18th in Bundesliga, relegated
15/16 - 18th in 2.Bundesliga, relegated
16/17 - 18th in 3.Liga - should have been relegated but saved on a technicality because 1860 Munich lost their license and were demoted
17/18 - 2nd in 3.Liga, promoted
18/19 - 2nd in 2.Bundesliga, promoted
19/20 - 18th in Bundesliga, relegatedSo not only a mad fall from grace between 13/14 and 16/17, but then back to back promotions to follow it (and then another relegation). They've finally calmed the f**k down and settled in the 2nd tier for the last 4 seasons.
The German side I keep an eye out for, Kaiserslautern, have had a similar rollercoaster. From top end 1. BL down to flailing around near the bottom of 3. BL, promotion last year, smashing it until the winter break, now unable to buy a win and likely to go back down again.
Just the small matter of a DFB Pokal Final this year though! (v Leverkusen)

Did Scotland not get humped v France by a disgraceful refereeing/VAR decision in rugbyball recently?
Rugby refs do get shown more respect than football refs, but that doesn't stop them appearing as even more insufferable c***s than ours.

I guess it's just recorded off the desk from the presenter's mic. No ambient sound from other mics to mix in.
