Aye, well any christmas songs about trains would probably cost £50 to download, start late, and breakdown before the end, fnar.

As predicted, plus his traditional red dot. So, let’s make a note that Vikingwang has clearly stated that using “shorthand measures” that provide “highly similar results” are valid, so the next time (probably later today) he gets pedantic, and attacks someone about not being exactly correct, he can blow it out his arse.
virginTROLL gonna troll, just the P&B equivalent of an excrement stained wrecking ball stinking out threads in all directions.
At a time when greener travel should be more enticing, sticking fares up above inflation isn't really going to help. Since I got a car 12 months ago, only twice used Scotrail locally and had three LNER long haul trips on advance tickets, having previously used trains at least once a week - it's only when I've had the motor that I realise how unattractive rail travel is just now by comparison. Even all the extra little crumbs you used to get fairly regularly in the First days (weekend upgrades, the odd £19 return fare giveaway) would be more helpful.

Littler shows some promising signs, but there was some flashes of inexperience and I fancy most players in the top 10 would pick him off over the longer format at the moment.

While tonight's statement describes how Edinburgh City are moving forward, it doesn't really tell us why they're in their current predicament, why the players are moving on and why the development and women's team are folding.
Assuming the club don't own the ground, surely the basic accounting principle of having hardly any tangible assets (just SPFL membership/prize money, sponsorship, any external director/council/etc funding, gate money) against a stack of liabilities (player wages, running costs of development/womens squad, any rent if applicable) is just too lop sided with all the previous investment now being pulled.
There's guesswork involved for those not in the inner circle, but if EC went into administration IMO they'd struggle to get out. Hope the current measures work out, no matter how much any of us gripe about the ground.

Bartley must stay until Saturday 5pm at least. Genuinely puzzled how someone who seemed so articulate and knowledgeable as a pundit/coach etc has made such a gibbering wreck of it, by and large.

Could not make it, how did we play yesterday ? Comprehensive victory by the end and that is now 13 goals scored against EC this season in 3 games.
Not at our finest, and game was fairly even until 2-0. In a way that didn't matter because yesterday was about getting in the hat by hook or by crook.
I'm not convinced SP would fancy the gig down the A92 just now - tribalism aside, A******h is only ever going to be a downward-trajectory since the top flight near miss a couple of seasons ago, so how does anyone define 'success' for them now? That job looks like a hiding to nothing.

Not sure about this one, my expectations aren't high. Cove batted us away fairly easily at LP, but they were very slack in the cup game and we picked them off. Would happily take a point here and focus on the cup, because that's the game I'd prefer to see us win TBQHWY.

Possibly the worst toss decision the Ingerlund have made since Hussain sticking the Aussies in at the Gabba.
Funny though.

I'm around 10 minutes dawdle from Pittodrie, it's wet but would be astonished if this is off. BOD Thistle's junior cup game round the corner at ASV went ahead fine yesterday if that's any indication (although the bogfield at East End was called off TBF).

Ach, Williamson has been fine enough - he took a fair few games to get going, but seems more settled now. He's certainly no Cammy Ballantyne, but he's better than anything we tried last season. So far, so good on the fitness/injury front, unlike some of our other defenders...

SO what now, have we now resigned ourselves to lowland league existence permanently, as long as the 11 players on the pitch are cheap, so much the better.
Not 'permanently', there's the EOS Premier waiting and ready....
(Torn between feeling sorry for the decent Berwick fans at the shambles, and having a nostalgic guffaw at berwick-the-unsustainable. Probably just do both.)

Maybe just me, but citydiehard seems like the type of poster who could be locked in a hotel room with a dozen supermodels obeying his every whim, have £100 million in the bank, a Ferrari outside, and still moan because the air conditioning is a couple of degrees too high. Geeit a rest!

Enjoyable, hard-fought victory. Thomson absolutley adds value to the front/middle of the park, another fearless passage of play for the goal. Not much between the sides otherwise, referee struggled to keep a handle on some of the clogging though IMO. Next weekend looks like a good indicator of where our hopes are this season - run Lolkirk close and we can definitely look upwards rather than nervously backwards. Think Stirling will be fine this season, robust enough to pick off plenty of teams and get past 40 points.
Back to back wins on the carpet, and it feels good.

Pretty sure Osman was quite high up at Endemol when Brand was working for them so he might have an awkward question or two heading his way.....

That'll do nicely. Fair play to the handful of away fans backing that mess - the last visiting side I saw wearing black and red stripes were Clyde last season, and it was hard to tell the difference between both shambolic back lines.
We had much better shape, Lyons getting back on form, and a couple of well worked goals. Can forgive some of the second half slackness. Looks more and more by the day that Rory-ball has been holding us back TBH. Next week probably a harder test and better indication of progress.

Tidy performance from the 'fringe' - Cove looked very very cavalier today compared to the LP game and didn't have their shooting boots on. Two nice finishes to seal the points on a tropical day up the hill. Need to take the good work forward into the next two home games.

Culter 3-2 Blackburn United. Didn't much fancy the trip to Dumfries (oops), so first trip over to Crombie Park for quite a while. It's not changed much, although you now get conventional plastic cups for your Bovril instead of having it made up in a mug which you had to bring back. Wasn't sure how North Juniors champions vs EOS Division 1 would play out, on this small sample size there's not much in it. Could have easily gone either way, Blackburn have a couple of tricky wingers but the forwards had a bad habit of shoot on sight, and several of those in the second half ended up over the fence and into Bieldside. Culter's winner was a cracking wee finish, although both their conceded goals were very defensively weak, and the second one made the last few minutes of the game more nervy than it should have been.
Really lovely day relaxing on the grassy knoll in AB14, and a decent game for six quid. Around 200-ish crowd.

Well, all the good feeling from last week evaporated after that 90 minutes, and a lot of deep sighs leaving the Dynamo today.
Cove looking not dissimilar to the team from two seasons ago which were just physically stronger and a bit more clever. Not sure they'll win the league, but there's not really any frontrunners yet. They could have had more goals today, really. We weren't exactly chanceless, but never looked like winning that game at any stage. Too much sitting off again. An injury hit defence and another midfield that is all flair and no fight (would take Sena back over several of ours despite his last minute kickboxing fail) could be a big problem for the next few games. We need something to spark our season, at the moment things are heading to another mid/lower table drudge.

Not shocked this is off - driving in the city isn't too tricky (just done city centre to Pittodrie-ish) but getting into it in the first place looks horrible. East End's ground probably looks like something out of a Tough Mudder event just now.
