    Could have been doing with another couple fixtures added in back then. Look where we are now.... again.... like every other year. 

    Yep, seen the fixture pile up coming back then. Considering we went out the Senior Scottish and the South Challenge Cup relatively early it could have been a lot worse.

    Nothing ever changes though.It will be the same again next season

    Nobody is upset it’s quite a compliment from Auchinleck supporters conceding that they ain’t the best team, don’t be taking it back regardless of how the last 5 games go now.

    I don't think any Talbot fan thought we were the best team after the start we had, 4 points from the first 7 games and were literally bottom of the table. We managed to go on a run and had a little hope but the draw with Beith and defeat to Glenafton ended even that slight hope.It was always going to be impossible to win the league after that start

    Every team that finishes top of their league should have the opportunity to achieve promotion if they meet the required standards to progress. That's a functioning pyramid structure and already have that in place. 

    There's absolutely no reason why automatic promotion should be granted for winning a league. It doesn't actually strengthen the quality of the levels above if the 'best' from a regional tier comes up every other season and stinks the place out reliably.

    You're appealing to 'common sense' because there's no other reason to justify your personal preference; having already abandoned the claim that a 'bottleneck' exists in the current structure. 

    A few seasons ago Arbroath were close to winning the Championship. If they had won it should they have been denied promtion because they would have absolutely stunk the top league out

    Dunno if Topps do hardback albums, though - that was a nice idea that Panini had started.

    Don't know if you are aware but the hardback album is up for pre-order onthe Topps website

    Mets opener tomorrow postponed. I've been watching the forecast all week and it seemed like it was coming but it's nuts to me they've called it so early. Was the 5.10pm game on BT Sport as well.

    Braves game postponed as well.

    Dodgers giving Will Smith a 10 year contract. He is 29. That will not age well

    Kyle Walker doing his hammy pinging a clearance off the back of Maguire's heid is very decent patter tbf.

    Considering the talent on the field the game is fucking rotten

    That should be the case but I doubt it will be. It will be covered up as he is too valuble to MLB.

    See a lot of folk going on about the 60/40 split. (Probably due to a certain someone voicing their objections on X/twitter) I know at 1st glance it doesnt look good but i'm not sure it's really that bad when you consider the prize money involved now.  Pretty sure the least you walk away with now is £5k + 40% of gate money, unless i'm mistaken. And trust me i've been mistaken more than my fair share 🤣 To me, that doesnt sound all that bad really

    Its very generous considering Talbot got zero of the gate money in the South Challenge Final against Bonnyrigg

    Aye, lets just go back to the Good Old Days of the West Juniors. Remember them?

    Lets not try and improve things. Lets keep it as no better than another league game. Never mind making it a family day out and try to make it a special day for the committees, coaches and players. No need for a showcase final for the sponsors. Lets do it the way its always been done. Wait and see who’s in the final and just throw it all together with minimal planning. Hopefully somebody with a grass pitch won’t have their own games to worry about and it’s within walking distance of everyone. Oh, and lets hope the neutral hosts want to actually take it. I seem to recall Talbot refusing to take a neutral semifinal between Cumnock and Glenafton.

    Not true. The police objected to it being in Auchinleck

    Keep the channel playing for a week and you'll be sick to death of it in no time. Same songs on heavy rotation.

    You might well be right, I don't usually listen during the day. Its mostly evenings and the request show on Sundays I listen to

    George Smith helped secure the conviction of two men for trading in wild raptors. Now, his work is helping to unveil an illegal multimillion-pound international industry..............................

    Thanks for that. It was an interesting read. The two guys should have went to prison though
