I think a lot of the assumptions were that they would stick to the same way of playing regardless if it was appropriate and that would ultimately be what would cost them.
McCabe has adapted and grown as a manager in identifying when he needs to change things and points won when he’s done that have made sure there not in a relegation fight.

Why is Kane on loan to us then?

This, plus also injuries. I don’t think anyone is claiming he’s an excellent premiership player as things stand FWIW only he has a good record

£15 per game for the East End Park experience, I am glad I will be over in Germany at the time.
Aye that’s completely killed any thoughts of going along for me, why would you pay that when it’s free to watch in the house and even if you venture out your going to be paying pub prices for drinks but your not paying an entry for pubs

Hamilton for me. Ewan as young player of the year
I’ve done it the opposite way around, whatever way it ends up I hope they both get one and they’re not both say on 30% of the vote in both categories and someone else sneaks.

Can’t Airdrie still finish 9th if ICT & QP draw and then win there remaining games?
It’s technically possible but it also involves Morton and Ayr picking up a decent amount of results not involving ICT or QP.
If you put a bet on the combination of results needed for airdrie to finish 9th you’ll walk away significantly richer

I’d take Graham in a second. He’s an absolute pest, knows and is willing to do every trick going and scores goals too, it only pisses you off cos it’s being done against you.

I thought it was a penalty, but it’s one of if it’s not given you can’t complain that much, it involved a bit of cute play from Kane something the ref at times seemed to want to be very strong at being against and something at others he completely brought.
I think he lost the respect of the players fairly early on and your left scrambling for the rest of the game once that happens.

...Arbroath now would need 12 of 12 points, ICT to lose every match, AND to close a 37 GD to avoid 10th.

the Sjfa increased their money they give to their working board members from about £3k last year to £23k this year so maybe that’s not enough and he needs more . . . .
£23k to do fucking what? Run one cup competition?

We seriously need a new solution to this then of we're going to be worried about games being on every tkme there's a few days of rain.
I suspect we will hope to get a decent summer and the pitch recovers. If problems persist next year it looks like a new pitch job with drainage upgrades, that costs a f**k load

I can understand the reluctance of some sides in the West to seek promotion to the Lowland League - the LL would involve significant amounts of travel and the costs associated with this for many WOSL sides especially the Ayrshire ones to the likes of Dalbeattie , Cowdenbeath and Berwick.
None of these places are far from Ayrshire tho.
If 2 hour journeys scare you then tier 5 is absolutely not the place for you.

I despise Brian graham.
I think that's one of the biggest compliments I can give an opposition player.

I'm presuming most fans who go to games have a zero tolerance attitude towards this behaviour so, fans policing their own fans I'm all for.
1,300 Raith fans, 1 guy lobs a glass bottle. You can bet a wee number of fans seen it happen. Only takes a fewto point him out and have him ejected mid game. I know it might take balls to do so but if everyone stands together then it could work
A few may have seen it happen. Those close enough that could directly identify the individual and not the section would have likely been those of a similar mindset and wouldn't call out the individual.

When I last read the rules on this it was still an elected position. The last published rules are a a bag of mess mostly focused on covid shortened seasons. But seem to suggest auto-promotion for HL/LL play-off.

You might have missed the search bit before the metal detector and wand, the way folk are frisked here compared to back home would more than likely stop the glass bottle.
I’m not saying that’s the complete solution for Scottish football but it’s part of a potential wider solution in time, because I just don’t see self policing and hands off approaches stopping these fuds continuing to behave as such. It’s sad.
Sorry, thought the search you referenced was about the metal detector and wand, didn't realise there was a hands on frisk first. It must be very invasive if its going to find something in your inner thigh, that sort of frisk should rightly not happen. A steward runs there hand up towards my balls and they won't like my reaction. No way is that considered a reasonable sacrifice in order to watch 22 men chase a bag of leather(plastic).
I may sound extreme to some but not having borderline sexual assault to thousands to accept one or two may have a bottle on them is acceptable to me. Ban them if they behave irresponsibly inside the ground, don't subject everyone to ridiculous authoritarianism.

Last got searched at Morton whilst my dad didn't, its quite clearly age discriminatory who gets selected. Not that the search would have found anything if I had it(I didn't obvs) told the guy my gloves were in my jacket pocket and a light pat down was all that was done, I could of easily had something in my jumper pocket behind and they wouldn't have a clue.

Been in the US for a while now, every person regardless of their age gets searched, have to walk through a metal detector barrier and then a wand search before they get into the stadium at Austin FC. Not sure if it’s similar experiences for Txrover in his part of the state.
The point is, it CAN be done, if it really wants to be done. But there’s got to be a balance there.
Unfortunately every single support of every club has an element of utter wee fuds who think it’s a good thing to bring banned and dangerous stuff into football grounds. And it’s getting worse, not better.
Not sure entirely of the solution, but I think it won’t be long before clubs are made to act, and we can see netting going up in parts of the ground to stop things being thrown - or increased policing/stewarding being enforced by authorities.
Must be missing something if metal detectors and wand search(which is just a close proximity metal detector) is going to pick up glass.
You get those sort of searches going into gigs now and shit loads of prohibited things get through. This sort of thing is mostly anti-weapon and again performance art, if I'm turning up armed to an american football game intent on carnage sure as f**k a metal detector isn't stopping me.
Netting ETC may happen, but I really don't think putting fans as a whole at war with authorities is a good idea at all which these sort of blanket measures encourage.
we need majority decent fans and authorities against the small minority.

This your own story @Derry Alli? Far from an expert but does sound mental health related. Without wanting to put any pressure @Richey Edwards May have more of a clue.

Easter on not(defiantly not, if the excuse is its easter then its pathetic) not being able to get 7 players available for a league match is inexcusable.
I've had a look back and there's zero announcement of a league extension at least for the last month, therefore they've had plenty of notice, its not like a game was called off last weekend and they've been forced to scrabble a team together( something that has happened before, and teams do get a side together.)
Teams get reprimanded in recreational 5 aside league for late call offs, its simply unacceptable in senior football, fine + points deduction for next season seems only possible outcome with expulsion if repeated within next 2 years IMO

The performative grief ones are ridiculous and take away from those of more importance.
Ok.
Remembrance day silence. On remembrance weekend only, no poppy mascots etc and especially no ridiculous wreath laying to remove it 30 seconds later cos you know there’s a football match about to happen.
Pre-match silence/applause for ex-player/manager/director particularly if they were long serving
Well communicated during match applause/chanting for a young fan.
Not a fan but ok
applause for a fan of a decent age that often isn’t communicated well and results in random clapping hard to distinguish from that of free kick won on the half-way line. Fair enough if it helps the families process but it’s slightly odd for those who couldn’t identify the person if they were shown a photo 5 minutes previous to be joining in.
Minutes silence for someone who played 2 games as a sub 40 years ago.
Really should be dropped
Silences for those involved in football but not either club, why the hell were we taking a moment for Maradona when annoying England fans was his only contribution to Scottish football.
Natural disasters/wars etc not saying don’t recognise these, have donation buckets, ask fans to donate over tannoy etc but the silence doesn’t achieve anything.
Mon to f**k eh
Individuals with nothing to do with football.
Silences already being observed on a more appropriate weekend but clubs for some reason feel desperate to have one at their particular home game, mainly noticed at remembrance but you get in other times too

For all the pish comedians around these days, it's incredible that utter dross like this used to draw millions on TV every Saturday evening.
It’s a bit of a two sided coin, now that every one who has every thought of a joke can post it online and hope to generate a following a lot of pish does get pushed forwards.
However it does mean no longer can one half-cut producer decide who is funny enough to be pushed down the throats of the nation and leave some talented people struggling round pubs cos their face didn’t fit

Clubs absolutely can search every single person who enters the stadium.
They can but it would cost an absolute fortune getting enough qualified staff and also piss a hell of a lot of people who are just going to watch a game. Start regularly searching 10 year olds and watch your sales of child tickets and future fans plummet.
Those who are also a bit dodgy know how to get around the searches, let’s be honest their not exactly hard to manipulate.
Searches as they stand are little more than performance art, they do little but stop the odd can of juice someone genuinely didn’t realise were banned and the odd fuckwit who didn’t hide their bottle/smoke bomb well enough, they go back to the pub and their mates keep them right for next time.

I don't think he'd come after the shite he and his dad took off some Pars fans.
I don’t think he’d give the slightest f**k about that, he’s a professional and if the deal was right he’d sign. Players would have a tiny choice of clubs if they didn’t sign for a club whose fans said something bad too them

There too much baggage on 2 year deals.
MOH, Chalmers, Breen, Wighton etc. Need to find a way of getting them off the wage bill.
Your not just going to get rid of these guys easily, they've taken the longer term deals for a reason.
Probably part of the reason I don't think promotion next year is likely is that we can't turnover enough players, the very small chance of being promoted this year terrifies me as much as I'd be buzzing for it. In that unlikely event we'd need a dozen really strong premiership players coming in.

Witnessed it every time I’ve went, not directly in front of the stand but from immediately in line with it, this means anything on the near side touchline in the final third gets blocked. They should have a decent buffer zone to prevent that sightline being blocked.
Worst if your in the older stand is the general set up encourages everyone to walk in front of it constantly as the most obvious facilities are all in one corner.
