The people running our game really are a bunch of total cretins.

Looking forward to St Johnstone accepting payment in the form of Dogecoin next season.

There is a rumour (and only second hand) that Brown is considering moving the season ticket holders to give Utd a third stand. Clearly not learnt much from when they did this for cheeks.

There's just no way that this will happen. I don't believe Saints can be that stupid.

Semi finals involving one half of the old firm don’t usually sell out hampden. What’s the point being made here?…
Hampden doesn't need to be "sold out" - if the total attendance is going to breach 20k then it gets held at Hampden, if not then it should be held in Edinburgh. Simple as that. Even Pittodrie would have been an acceptable option.

This game should never have been held at Hampden. A dreadful spectacle.

Welcome to the world of VAR, lads. What a laugh it is.

I was all for Spartans coming up because I'm naturally biased towards almost any potential new face in the SPFL. I didn't know / possibly forgot however that Spartans were one of the bad guys who welcomed the colts into the Lowland League. Any colt supporting club can get to f**k. So it has to be Brechin. I feel they deserve to come up after their efforts this season and the more turgid League 2 teams to taste relegation the better.

Anyone know what the attendance was?

I know there's a Highland League Chat thread but f**k it, this deserves its own IMO. Lets generate some more interest in this match of epic proportions.
It all comes down to this on the last day. A winner takes all clash. A draw is enough for Buckie.
Will Brechin win the title for the first time as they continue their quest to return to the SPFL?
Or will it be 11 time champions Buckie who take the Highland League crown after missing out to Fraserburgh on the final day of last season?
Victoria Park - 'The Vic' - will be rocking for this one. Arguably the biggest Scottish game of the weekend, it is sure to be a dramatic day.
Post live match updates in here. Share your pics from the game if you attend.
May the best team win. Godspeed.

Some shreds of faith in the BBC will be restored if they can at least come up with an article ahead of the title showdown. Easily one of the biggest games in terms of significance (if not the biggest?) in the country this weekend. I won't hold my breath.

Check this out from Reddit. The guy is working his way through the league it seems.
Not for me. I actually prefer our current badge over the old one. It looks intricate in a world of increasingly oversimplified logos. The kits are rats as well, far too dark a shade of blue - verging on Dundee colours.

Our turn to take our pick from the Scottish managerial merry-go-round, full of has beens and useless fools. How depressing.

I fucking love the Highland League. The title chases of the past two seasons have been engrossing, it is undoubtedly a far superior league to the Lowland League.
Can't see Brechin slipping up tonight. It's a shame I'm busy on Saturday, I'd have considered heading over to Buckie to take in the showdown.

Steve Bright is both devastated and seething. Absolutely wonderful Monday morning reading.

Hope Steve Bright is crying into his Callum Davidson pillows tonight.

CalMac's biggest ferry MV Loch Seaforth hit by technical fault https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-65237610
Yet another blow for CalMac as their biggest and newest ship breaks down with an engine fault. Having just read about the ferry situation there, I didn’t realise quite how bad things are. An ancient fleet that is starting to crumble, unfinished ferries sitting in Port Glasgow 7 years from on start of construction, a deal with the Turks to have them build our ferries, looking at second-hand options from the likes of Norway. It’s a real mess. We really should have been constructing tunnels / bridges years ago across some of the shorter routes to lower dependency on ferries. Take the Corran Ferry for example, a service that will be out of action for several weeks now during the busy Easter period and will require a significant detour. It’s terrible for locals, tourists and the local economy. The loss of the MV Loch Seaforth will be a significant blow for the Isle of Lewis.

Elgin going down to Buckie would be a bit of a disaster for Brechins title aspirations for the following season IMO. You’d imagine Elgin would have a decent pool of players to pick from.

Compare the English Premier League with the Scottish Premiership from 10 years ago. How many teams were in the league in 2013 but aren't in them now?
Scotland: 2
England: 8
The fact is that the Scottish top-flight has barely changed face over the past 10 years whilst in England there's a significant difference, thanks to the greater number of relegation spots which provide a better chance of fresh faces entering the league. There's only 5 teams from the past decade that have played in the Scottish top flight who aren't there just now! Hopefully Queens Park will buck the trend this season but even still, we are crying out for a more exciting league system than this.

As a side note, the Old Firm derby is one of the most tin pot derbies in world football. They play each other a minimum 4 times a season, this can rise to as much as 6 if they meet in the cups (like they will this season). The finest derbies in world football such as El Classico, Manchester Liverpool, Ajax Feyenoord, Bayern Dortmund, Merseyside Derby, North London etc are only contested twice a season and this hasn't diminished the status of those games. Add in the fact that the Old Firm aren't even letting away fans in, it's petty shite from two clubs that hold themselves in such high esteem. Both complete losers.

This format would be terrible
Going from 38 games to 34 cuts everyone's budget and makes it even harder to compete with clubs down south for players. And we don't have enough European slots to justify a league of that size, which means from about January onwards there will be a big cluster of teams in the middle with nothing to play for.
Your last bit is right, it won't ever happen, and thank goodness!
Narrow-minded pish. Would much rather we played less games a season than more games against the same opposition. Quality over quantity.
I 100% support a 16 team league like the Swedish Allsvenskan and Norwegian Eliteserien. Play each other once home and away, 30 games a season, bob's your uncle. No more ridiculous split and no more playing a team 4 times in the league. Games would be more enticing to go to home and away. 2 automatic relegation spots and relegation play-off would ensure that the relegation battle would be an exciting one every season and we would likely see new teams in the Premiership that haven't been there for many years, new teams to play and grounds to visit. 12 team league sucks arse and has become stale.

Can I shock you? I enjoyed the Soccerette feature. It was funny then and, watching that clip Throbber posted, it's still funny now. No amount of mewling from members of the #WOKERATI will make me change my mind. It's just a bit of silly banter *insert Richard Keys meme*.
Incredibly, watching Soccer AM as a teen hasn't turned me into a misogynist pig in my adult years and I think anyone who claims they were influenced by the show in that way was already a wrong'un anyway.

The scenes in Naples are just awesome. What a city, what a club. Argentina and Napoli - they did it for Diego. The prophecy has been fulfilled.
