Official attendance 1313 according to Arthurlie’s twitter. I thought it looked a wee bit more but hard to tell.
Draw a fair result and keeps the tie alive for next Saturday.

Is Glens v Arthurlie on tonight?
Both teams had chances to win it in the second half, most notably when Arthurlie hit the crossbar.
An entertaining game - not a great deal of football played in the strong wind but hotly contested like a cup-tie; neither team wasting time and both keen to get on with it.

He just signed a new deal a couple of weeks ago
He has had these calls since the day he got the job..
I remember where the Burgh were before he came in
Up to this season he had done a very good job.
They have a semi final coming up there will be no changes
It's wishful thinking for some
He has now left.

Another vote for Pollok 3-3 Talbot. Terrific game, loads of action and played in a downpour for the first 30 or so minutes.

Can someone enlighten me what those 'hung out to dry' & 'back the fans' things are about at Ladeside?
Their official Twitter account has said that they won’t comment further until the conclusion of the SFA’s investigation into the rammy at St. Roch’s.

Chris Balderstone played for England in 2 test matches. He had an excellent County Cricket career principally for Leicestershire.
He has since become a top umpire. Martin Bodenham was an ex EPL referee and is now a county championship umpire.
Steve Bucknor was a former ICC umpire and FIFA referee.

They played as Babcock & Wilcox in their last Qualifying Cup South appearance: 1987-88 (lost 6-0 at Annan). Their absence isn't noted in the next season's Non-League Review.
However:
http://scottishleague.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1920&p=10397&hilit=babcock#p10397
From the SFA Annual Report 1988-89:
"Throughout the 1988/89 season, the club membership has remained at last season's figure of 78. At the time of writing, one club, Moorcroft FC, formerly Babcock and Wilcox, looks likely to fall by the wayside come the last Council meeting on 17th April, 1989. The loss of its registered ground, Moorcroft Park, is shaping like a mortal blow, and unless an acceptable replacement is produced urgently, the club's membership will have to be terminated."
And the following year's Annual Report confirmed that this was the end - at least, for SFA membership. Is it possible that Moorcroft continued as an amateur side? It is - they are members of the Scottish Amateur League and have a website here.Babcock’s would have essentially lost their ground as the company looked to reign in their commitment to Renfrew. They had their own bowling club, social club and sports grounds, but all of these have since been transferred to Renfrewshire council.
Moorcroft was the traditional local name of the ground, and Moorcroft played on for a number of years into the 21st century, at times fielding two teams in the Greater Glasgow and Scottish Amateur Leagues. Interestingly, and getting back on topic they retained membership of the Renfrewshire FA, so had semi-regular Renfrewshire cup semi-final appearances against St. Mirren and Morton. Presumably this membership was carried on from Babcock’s?
I’m not sure if Moorcroft are still on the go. Renfrew FC’s youth teams are among those who use the brand new 4G facility which sits where the grass football parks and cricket square lay. Ironically, Renfrew looked into moving to Moorcroft themselves before the establishment of New Western Park.

This might have been a schoolboy international. If it was, try the Scottish Schools’ FA’s website - there’s a link to a stats archive in their news items.

Is there a link to the full final standings in the west leagues?
I thought I’d read them in here last week, but I couldn’t find them.

Cameron Clark would’ve been 17 when he started for Rob Roy in last season’s West cup final. (They lost on penalties, before I am accused of misunderstanding the topic!!!)

A Paul Stewart goal gives the Farmer’s Boys a 1-0 win at Renfrew and it is now 9 wins and a draw in the last 10 aways in all competitions for Neilston.
I thought Neilston deserved it today. They were the better side in the first half, and defended well after taking the lead. Renfrew hit the crossbar twice, but it had the look of ‘one of those days’ as soon as Neilston scored.

40 minutes ago, Kennie said:Why would you post this?Game is in progress right now and it's 0-0.No issues with playing surface.
I was about to leave to go to the game, and received a message via twitter to tell me that the game was off. (I had tweeted Port Glasgow to ask if the game was on as the pitch looked pretty white when I passed on the train after work.)
The guy who sent me it was walking back to Woodhall station having been at Parklea apparently. I took this in good faith, and thought I was passing on information, saving others a wasted journey.
This frustrates me now, as I would rather be at the game, rather than sitting in the house.

Pitch markings being incorrect. A game several years ago at the very start of the season saw the penalty area being lined 12 yards, rather than 18 yards out. Referee spotted it, although both teams were just beginning to warm up.

My local Junior club is Maryhill - we have floodlights. I may have misunderstood but I thought floodlights weren't allowed for Junior League games, we never seem to use them.
Maryhill were due to play St. Roch’s during the week in a friendly. This game was postponed after a fault was found with the floodlights when they were used earlier in the week for a schools’ game.
(It might be that they are keen to use them more this year, but perhaps not for competitive matches. I have been at a number of Friday night floodlit games, and they have all attracted decent crowds.)

I watched this game tonight as a neutral. I felt that Port Glasgow deserved it: hungrier, sharper and made more chances. Completely different from the game at Ravenscraig a few weeks back.
A good crowd tonight too.
