  1. He may just have read it on here. Think the most interesting snippet of Marten's info is the Tayport and Scone angle.
  2. Hopefully the whole pyramid saga is reaching its end game now. Will be interesting to see what Montrose Roselea do in the years ahead, if this is what unfolds. Think it's critical that a Midland League can have at least 20 clubs so a two division format becomes sensible.
  3. ...and most LL clubs appear to have been OK with this. People are allowed to change their minds when faced with an unprecedented set of circumstances and new SG policies on weekly testing that were not on the radar when the season was starting. Clubs balked at proceeding any further because of the expense associated with that.
  4. Think they'll hold off to see what happens with the colt team reconstruction plan as that could eliminate the need to relegate anyone even with a move back to 16 and a club getting promoted from tier 6. An active playoff lumbering over the immediate horizon might prompt some of the lower half of the LL2 to vote for it so I would assume that's why BrazilianLex thinks there is a carve up unfolding.
  5. Leapfrogged Stirling Uni: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–21_Lowland_Football_League#League_table
  6. wikipedia still has them down as a possible relegation so you may have a point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–21_Lowland_Football_League
  7. Dundee United's success in the late 1970s and through the 1980s is probably the main factor and what it did to Dundee's fanbase among the younger generation. Clyde arguably did worse out of reconstruction though:
  8. The HL vs LL game is under SFA rather than SPFL auspices so might not be part of the same TV deal.
  9. Other two beyond Bonnyrigg would probably be VoL and Edinburgh Uni if relegation is still a possibility.
  10. See it's been announded according to what's on fitbanorth: https://www.fitbanorth.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8771 Brora Rangers - 2020/21 Champions by Jimmy Shaker » Tue Mar 30, 2021 12:11 pm The Highland League have announced Brora Rangers have been declared the Champion Club for the 2020/21 season and will go forward to the playoffs. On Pussbook the now.
  11. ...but he'll still be droning on about the need for Irish unity in other threads. Doubt this tunnel will happen as it's really about deflecting attention from what Brexit has done to the Union. There would need to be massive investment in transport links along a Portpatrick to Dumfries axis if it did, so the cost would be a lot more than just the figure for the tunnel that gets mentioned.
  12. ...That said the most challenging season may be yet to come as next season will be a massive challenge given the financial resource it’s taken to survive this and we should all be under no illusions just how hard it’s going to be. The club will need help... Sounds like the Shire's sugar daddy might have lost interest. Will be interesting to see what the HL do given how few games have been played: https://www.livescore.com/en/football/scotland/highland-league/ Guess it helps that Brora are top by goal difference. Fraserburgh getting a second place in an expanded HL on that basis would be difficult to justify though.
  13. The Cameronians had a Convenanter heritage and its traditional recruiting area was Lanarkshire and Dumfriesshire. They were formed in 1689 to support William of Orange during the Glorious Revolution after the Scottish parliament had declared that James the VII was no longer king.
  14. Think the uncertainty over this relates largely to what will happen between the LL and SPFL on the Club 42 boundary line when active reconstruction plans are still unfolding. Until that's resolved to the point that nobody (for the sake of argument let's call them Brechin City) questions where the divide should be any more, the EoS leaving Dundee/Angus as a grey area is a way of making sure that the east region can't use this as a backdoor into the LL portion of the pyramid as a second east feeder. Hopefully the Forfar WE application has provided the catalyst needed for a clear resolution of the way forward for all involved.
  15. You know you support a small club when you can tell that one of the players clearly recognises you on the street in the centre of Glasgow and you say hello to each other. Graham Mitchell who later played for Hibs way back in the 1980s. Once was on the train in the same era from Dundee heading into Glasgow with Paul Sturrock and Richard Gough who were on there way to an international call up. Paul Sturrock was really friendly chatting away with everybody close by enjoying his 15 minutes of fame, while Richard Gough clearly had no time for anybody that wasn't a fellow professional and completely blanked a Dundee United fan who tried to start a conversation and shake his hand. I've never met a nice South African and that's not bloody surprising man basically. Haven't run into any well known Scottish footballers since then to an extent that I could gauge anything about what they are like in real life.
  16. Lochgilphead Red Star might be a possibility in facility terms given they have a 3G cage with floodlights? streetview
  17. ^^^if WoS are involved that suggests an LL catchment angle.
  18. Brian Soutar is a prime suspect on being part of the SNP's deplorables faction.
  19. Your behaviour on here is frankly nauseating. You actively campaigned to get the season shut down on here and on twitter for the same transparently obvious selfish and self-serving reasons.
  20. ^^^any cost being a precedent that could see Blackburn relegated from the EoS premier.
  21. Think you are being naive. This will have been organised for many weeks.
