Good point. Some Friday games would have been class

Can't wait until there's actual games to talk about again.

looked ok to me but I'm not known for my eye for detail!

Paid.

Does Samson know he isn't an EK player any more?

I think we were one of the few teams with Largs maybe) that put some good form together in the middle third of the season while the early leaders all stalled a bit. It was always a tall order to keep that going when the midweek games started but I think it left most Talbot fans looking forward to the next season. If there wasn't so much money chucked around elsewhere in pre season I'd have fancied us for the title this season but who knows how the bigger spenders will do. On paper it should be one of those clubs.

Hope you enjoyed the bouncy castles.

Is this it?

I was hoping for some diddy SOS side at home (no offense intended, diddies). Haddington away is definitely losable. Nice part of the World to visit if the weather is nice. I hope Pollok smash Darvel.

We're away to Haddington in the Senior Scottish Cup on 31st August.

I'd agree with you for bottom placed team v's champions play offs but I think they can be a decent addition for teams outwith these slots. The set up in the four top leagues keeps things interesting and provides a great spectacle at the end of the season. I wouldn't do anything like that at our level though as we don't need the added fixture headaches it would surely bring.

It was 90% shite after a promising start. England's group might have the dullest set of matches in all of international tournament history.

Also, I've just bored myself posting about pitch surfaces again for the umpteenth time so I shall depart the thread.

When there's a dafty suggesting critics of 3g are "luddites" is a perfectly reasonable response. 3g is and always has been a compromise to the quality of matches. Completely understandable that teams at our level go for it but let's desist from pretending it's somehow superior to grass.

Was just sitting watching the Euros thinking "this would be better if it was played on a plastic pitch" said no c**t.
