Any reasoning why Celtic were playing or allowed to play tonight when they can't play Tranent?
I thought the winter break had started?
Another piss take from the LL.

LNER are the best service in my limited experience of east coast travel. Cross Country isn't bad if it's quiet but there's nowhere near table spaces so it's cattle car when full.
You very much get what you pay for with Lumo - if it's comfortably the cheapest option then it's fine for a reasonable distance, but it's a cattle car.
Unless you went 1st thing in the morning with LNER from Leeds then you would need to change trains at York.
Lumo also only run King's Cross to Edinburgh.
Cross country are every hour direct, like you state decent if quiet,that's why I recommend checking whether it's a single train or two joined together. That is a game changer.
Trans Pennine may well have a service direct from Leeds but would be very few if any. Otherwise again a change at York is required.

Worth noting some Cross Country services double up so instead of being cramped in 4 coaches there's 8 or 9 coaches giving a bit more room. As others have stated all depends what time of day you want to travel?

Yet probs could've had a full list last Saturday when there was a break (bar Leith).
Typical weather.

Huge win for Oakley last night as well. Many had them written off as relegated.

No Coldstream announcement on their new management team?
I think it's Prof Blaikie however.

A lot of rain in last couple of days and a freezing night predicted.
I fancy a few games will not go ahead tomorrow. Any early call offs or inspections planned?
Whitehill looking for volunteers tonight to help wi the pitch so must be confident of getting it playable tomorrow.

What has that got to do with the current football club?
Clue - nothing.
Is it a totally different Edinburgh City to the one that got promoted out the LL like?

Shame was a decent club and done the hospitality after matches so would've thought was associated wi the club.
On a separate note their stovies were braw

At least we won't be playing old pals Whitehill Welfare in the league for a couple of seasons at least. There's always a ray of sunshine..
Ha back to "we" supporting City again are we ?
Sad to see the club in such a state after the small band of committee and fans got you up from the lower leagues.
I hope there are better days ahead.

That’s the social club of the original football club from the 1920’s and 30’s. They gave the current club permission to become Edinburgh City but there’s no further connection than that.
What happened to the Baxter's Place Edinburgh City club money when it was sold?

Well the dunipace abandonment was after that and that is getting replayed so I'd imagine heriot vs ww will be the same
You would think so but surprised its not been mentioned anywhere especially when it could affect teams around them.

I might have missed something but have they made a decision on Heriot Watt WW yet ?
2 teams near the relegation places?
Point(s) could play a massive part in who stays up and should maybes be clarified asap ?

The 12th away draw for Berwick out of the last 13 cup ties!
You ain't getting a home tie if you proceed as far as the final either.

He did do well promoting and reviewing the SoSFL on here though.

A tough draw for SJFC but content with it as it’s a new ground to tick off. I missed out on The Excelsior that time our final match of the our First Division winning season was postponed late due to a waterlogged pitch.
Stand out tie for me is Spartans Hearts. Will Spartans ask Hibs to hold it at ER like Bonnyrigg moved their cup game vs Hibs to Tynecastle years ago?
Celtic Buckie is a laugh, just typical. Superb trip for Buckie fans though. Be interesting to see how many away fans make the long trip down.
Struggling to get excited over any of the other ties.
Spartans are an SPFL side nowadays,has there ever been an SPFL side allowed to move ground? and I'm sure Bonnyrigg Hibs was the last ever tie that was allowed to be moved.

Like the idea of playing Jamaica or Nigeria in London or somewhere?
Brazil at the Emirates and Nigeria at Craven Cottage were great, easy to get to trips so I will go along wi this.

The answer to your question was in the bit of the post you deleted.
So you reckon a 16 team league wi 3 up 3 doon would stop meaningless games. I very much doubt that. You'd still have mid table obscurity from around November December onwards.
Better wi a play off system that gets interest beyond the top/bottom 3.
Worth noting that 4 of the current bottom 8 are ex SPFL clubs though.
Nothings going to change anytime soon.
Back on topic the Rose will get stronger the more experience of the LL they get.

The LL has way too many meaningless games and that hurts the level of fan interest.
So what's your solution then?
Lowland leagues of 10 or 12 and play each other over and over again.
The SPFL clubs hate that as it is.
Meaningless games all over Scotland not just the LL.

Whitburn v Dunipace - Replayed or Pace's points?
Replayed I think.
Similar situation happened a few weeks back Heriot Watt v WW.

Nitten will need to up their game if they want promotion.
WW more than matched them on the park for long periods last Saturday. A couple of breaks mightve seen a different scoreline but sometimes when yer near the bottom luck is against you.
St Andrews scraped past WW wi a penalty the previous game.
Small margins and aw that.
