    More about the background to this from Non League Matter.

    There's a Fans Forum meeting this evening, hopefully get at least some clarification of what the hell has been going on. The past month has been awful and you wouldn't wish it on anyone. I've a feeling things will get pretty lively...

    Week 41 update

    Have you all just got really bad at the game this year? I feel as if I'm a lot less busy than usual.

    DP 2022 (first go at it) - nil points.

    DP 2023 - 2 hits so far including a solo shot and a captain's bonus.

    Strong contender for "Most improved player" at the end of year awards if there were any, these should really be a thing.

    Punt the arsecheeks into some other association's league structure. Don't care where, just somewhere where they have minimal impact on Scottish football. 

    I'd like to take this further, wishing for their complete extinction and to rewrite the history books removing all trace of them in a way that the Ministry Of Truth would be proud of.

    Escooter and ebikes shouldn't be a thing for anyone to be able to get. They are Motor vehicles. Wee c***s pelting past you at 20mph on the pavement isn't a good idea, The polis need to take more action. 

    Just as they scoot past...

    I'll flip it, who would you have supported in last seasons scottish cup final had Falkirk beaten Caley Thistle in the semi?

    I did say "even if it means a cup final victory and never hearing the end of it" so I'd have preferred Falkirk to beat Celtic. Under no circumstances am I supporting an Old Firm team. 

    If Falkirk got to a final and were playing anyone other than Celtic or Rangers, then I'd be rooting for their opponents and that includes Raith.

    Maybe an unpopular opinion but if Raith or Falkirk were playing either Celtic or Rangers then I want the OF team to win, preferably by a cricket score.

    Would have to disagree there, I understand the thinking but I will support ANY team against either of the Uglies and that includes Raith and Falkirk. Even if it means a cup final victory and never hearing the end of it. I don't grudge Rovers their League Cup Final at all purely because they got it right up Celtic which was extremely funny.

    A victory over either of the OF is a victory for Scottish football. Club rivalry no matter how fierce is one thing but the OF is by far the greater enemy of us all.

    I thought I could lock it but I don’t have the option.

    I thought I could control my creation, now like rabbi of Prague I must watch as my own golem rampages uncontrollably, causing havoc and devastation.

    You can create it, but you can't destroy it.

    Alastair "Algy" Ward, former bass player with The Damned gone at 63.

     

     

    Very sad news. Was reading up on him last week and was shocked to find he'd died a few days beforehand. Time to pick up the Tank back catalogue.

    My joint favourite Damned song, along with "Nasty", which sent me on a lifelong journey down the rabbit hole of punk/HC after seeing it on The Young Ones.. Algy absolutely steals the show here with his facial expressions. 😆

    For me, I'm not depressed but still grieving my dad. Just in my mind a lot that he's gone, replaying his last days and weeks in my mind. I don't get upset often but it comes occasionally (my brother is the opposite - he is in bits all the time). 

    The big kick came at the weekend though. My mum had got upset the week before when she arranged for his headstone. That felt quite final to her. She was told it would be 8-12 weeks. Then, on Friday she woke up to an email saying that the headstone was up, with a picture and an invoice attached. Just a week since she had arranged it. 

    She went to the cemetery to see it and it really shocked her. Really knocked her for six. Then on Saturday I went up, and there it was. An absolute gut-punch. I can't explain why but seeing it there made it all a bit more real. A bit more final. I think it's sinking in now. 

    I know this will pass slowly. Just watching out for all the "firsts" coming up - birthdays, Father's day, Christmas and so on. Next month would have been my parents 53rd wedding anniversary. It'll really be hard for my mum. 

    I know what you're going through mate, my dad died coming up for four years ago and me and my mum were dreading all the "firsts" as well as the anniversary of the day of his death. These things will be different for everyone but on the actual day of whichever "first" it was then this gif probably sums it up best for me and my mum-

    For all the dreading of it, it was a day the same as all the others, just another day when he wasn't around, no more or less difficult than any of the other days. It does get better over time, not so much getting over it as learning to live with it. You'll get there, you're more than welcome to PM if you want to sound off.
