In terms of numbers of consecutive relegations, below the SPFL, Vale of Leithen are about to suffer their third relegation in three years, matching Brechin's record. In that time they've won 3, drawn 2 and lost 78, conceding 396 goals. Still got 9 games left this season but they've lost every match so far.
They'd been circling the drain in the LL for a while, saved by Covid and before that by Selkirk going bust and the LL choosing not to relegate anyone. They've won 5 league games in 5 years.
In 1996 Dumbarton were 10th in tier two, 1997 9th in tier three and in 1998 10th in the bottom tier

Unreal had the gopros on behind the goals felt like lobbing them so many times. Some amount of clear cut chances missed by Stranraer. Watch out fir highlights. Ben Armour will be having nightmares about this game.
Yip. The header he put over from six yards was some miss

Not sure how Stranraer didn’t win that. The shot from Grant Gallagher that spinned off the post and ran along the line just summed up the luck that teams at the bottom get

The guys has admitted guilt. I like your commitment to your mate, but all accept he’s been out of order in some shape or form
I don’t even know the guy. I just think that as the trust have investigated the matter fully and will be aware of all the facts they will be in a better position to reach a fair decision than people on a message board who won’t be as well informed

Maybe the people in the trust who made the decision are better informed and know more about what actually happened than all the people speculating here

I see the Trust will take no further action against the board member who is currently on a year's ban from the stadium. I understand that it's a difficult situation for the Trust as the individual involved is important to the organisation but I do feel it's not a great look. A couple of weeks prior to this incident the Trust put out a statement reminding fans that they have a zero tolerance approach to abuse from supporters, to go from that to keeping a board member in place who is serving an actual stadium ban for abusing a player weeks later looks hypocritical.
I do not wish to turn this into a big issue or a witch hunt, I know the person in question and I fully accept he regrets what he has done and that he has apologised and accepted his punishment accordingly. Hopefully that's a line drawn and everyone can move on.
Do you know that the ban is for abusing the player?

Three shut outs in a row since Durnan came back. I’m not saying we’d have won the league but losing Long and Durnan really changed our season

I’d imagine we can comfortably file making comments about sending bullets to the Lennons under the unacceptable category.
Obviously but I’ve heard different versions

If the fans are to know what is and what isn’t acceptable it would be useful to actually know what the ban is for. Otherwise it’s just keeping everyone in the dark and we are none the wiser

Definitely.
Games were even postponed e.g. AEK Athens-Hibs (Thu 13th Sep 2001).
EDIT:
Some were but Dumbarton played Clydebank on the evening of11th September Can’t see that happening now

I would have thought, in this instance i.e Edinburgh City go bust, no relegation from League One and 2 up from League two (Champions + winners of 3 way play off). Then - maybe - no relegation from League Two and LL and HL champions promoted. Or have I messed up the arithmetic?
Champions go up from league two and you still have a four way play off with second bottom in league two. Extra space would be in league two so probably no relegation from there and hl and ll champs play of for that extra space

Meh.
Not a great day for us with East Fife, Spartans and Peterhead all winning. Our next 4 are all games we’re capable of winning. At this rate, we’re going to need three wins from the last 5 to finish above East Fife.
You think East Fife will win their last five games, which would mean they had won nine out of their last ten?

The big losers would be lower league teams. I know a few people who regularly go to watch teams down the pyramid (at least a couple who are ST holders) who would probably sit in the house watching telly if Rangers or Celtic were on telly on a Saturday at 3pm, or if Hearts games were always televised.
Yip. Not only would they sit in the house they would watch in clubs and pubs. That happens to an extent at the moment with Rangers/ Celtic TV and places showing it but it would be far worse if it was officially allowed.

There are white ones but they are alternative. FIFA put it in their rules in 2013 that national teams should have one all dark and one all light kit.
when we play Germany they’ll be in all white and we’ll be in all blue
I know FIFA made that rule but plenty of countries just seem to ignore it and I'd rather we did

Anyone else hate the fact that we don’t have white shorts?

We've being calling it soccer for years...
Is soccer not an abbreviation of Association that they used way back in the 19th century to show it was different from rugby?

He isnt going to. As much as its a really untenable position for a football club chairman to hold, he seems to have an absolute terror of public speaking and will not address the fans directly. The club really should be making a public comment about whats happening internally. I'd really hope that we'll get proper communication about the club board's plans for the future sooner rather than later. Until that happens it'll be a case of watching for updates. But it is still in their plans. It won't happen until the funding is in place as the board don't want to commit to something that they may be left struggling to pay for until the finances are all agreed. Which leaves us in the unacceptable position of being at the mercy of the weather and how our pitch holds up with 2 teams playing on it.
The perceived view is that having two teams play on the pitch is the main cause of it's dreadful state. But Stirling Albion and University of Stirling both play at Forthbank and I don't hear anyone complaining about the condition of their pitch. Could it maybe more to do about how the pitch is (or isn't) looked after?

Should add that despite having Newcastle and Sunderland on their doorstep, South Shields managed to draw over 2000 fans today to the National League North - tier 6 of the English football set-up. Its almost as if its possible to live in the shadow of 2 much bigger clubs and to still bring in a healthy crowd if you do things properly and create the right kind of condition for the club to attract fans.
And certainly not a ploughed field masquerading as a football park.
Are you seriously comparing South Shields to Dumbarton? Its about four times the size of it

I see that Stenny can clinch the title at our gaff on the 30th. I really want it to happen so that Neil Mackay has sit and watch their celebrations and host their celebrating directors post match. Here’s what you could’ve won Neil, if you weren’t such a useless, spineless waste of space.
It will certainly be the closest Uncle Faz will get to a league trophy.
Wanting another team to clinch the title on our ground is perverse in the extreme

We must be nearing the estimated Mark Durnan return date. I’m highly dubious we’ll see him again this season, but if we could get him back in and up to speed before the playoffs, it would be a big boost.
This group of players should be good enough to win the playoffs. The big question remains about whether the manager can get them to do it in big games, however.
Was today not a big game?

22 November 1958, per Evening Times. I think that separately, his daughter also confirmed this in relatively recent newspaper article.
Presumably we didn’t think he was good enough

Ibrox , Celtic Park and Pittodrie. Which isn’t bad for a club the size of Dumbarton
