Pretty sure the Highland League was glad to see the back of Fort.
I'd guess the SHFL community was glad to see the back of the idiots who took over and turned a troubled but ultimately still-functioning club into a complete circus which spent eighteen months trying to turn a Facebook audience and some batshit conspiracy theories into goals and revenue.
Fort weren't always the mess they became last season. A permanent struggle, an occasional shambles, certainly, but they never before plumbed the depths seen in the summer.

Five weeks and change we've kept this little bollix alive for. He seems happy enough, very even tempered except when he wakes up hungry and goes from zero to a hundred in the space of a few seconds. Rest of the time, he likes his kip, although still mainly in the daytime, with darkness and silence not really to his tastes. Fed him at 1915hrs last night and he slept til almost 0100hrs, so there's hope for us yet if we can eek out his last feed of the day.
There are occasions when he won't settle in a crib or basket and just wants to sleep on my shoulder, which I am a fan of during a month of football.

This is what I mean in the scenario of winning the North Premiership. If BoD Juniors have been set up as a completely different side...they get a Scottish Cup spot.
Do they turn it down basically admitting it's all pretence or take the money with a brass neck.
If there’s one thing Banks O’ Dee have, it’s a brass neck.

Watson’s of Aberdeen Demerara Rum?
The wife’s family are Watson. I may have to ask about this.

Also, clean your house one last time and admire it.

Every time you’re out getting a shop, buy nappies, wipes, etc. One pack will do. Aldi ones are fine. Stash them somewhere so you’ve a massive hoard of them for when Baby comes home. It’ll still never be enough, but when everyone is buying Baby nice outfits, fancy hats, Premium Bonds, whatever, you’ll find yourself muttering ‘great stuff, but another packet of wipes would have been just as useful’.
We’d enough disposables to open a branch of Mothercare four short weeks ago, and Hamish has pished his way through nearly all of it already.

The Station Hotel is a tidy boozer. Go there.

They don’t stay little for long, do they? Already bagging up some outfits he doesn’t fit into any more.

He’d a hearing test and a trip to see the lovely ladies of Inverurie Maternity Unit today so we needed him looking sharp. Having passed the hearing test, he screamed the car down and we’d to abandon the latter part of his day. Nice and calm now and has been sleeping (and farting) on me for an hour while his maw has a kip.

A shade over two weeks old and he seems happy enough. Caught the cold from his cousin and is a bit raspy.
Slept through No Time To Die this afternoon, much like his old man did at the pictures last year.

One week old. Slow-going feeding of small doses from a cup due to a fear of the boob has been replaced by an appetite for much bigger doses from a bottle, and he’s now terrorising Mrs S into producing the luxury milk by the pint. At the other end, what goes in must come out, and how.
He’s had his visitors this week so hopefully the second week of paternity leave is a bit more peaceful, and me and Mother Goose can work on the day shift/night shift routine.
Many thanks for the comments of the past week.

I’d never any fear of throwing my nieces and nephew about the place but he feels different, despite being the biggest of the four.
Not happy on the boob but taking milk out of a cup for now.
Maternity ward staff are the boy.

Proud dad.
The three-minute video of me trying to dress him that preceded the photo would have had the social taking him off me tho.

HAMISH GEORGE MCKENZIE
Born in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, on Friday, October 28th, 2022, weighing 8lb 9.5. Mother and baby well; both wanting fed and their bed. Dad happy with either at this point in time.

BOD’s statement about the situation suggested they weren’t all that happy about it, and in choosing to miss out certain details has meant their Secretary has escaped the worst of the criticism which has been aimed at the League, the SFA, etc.

My aunt started IVF after assisted conception for first but in the end her husband asked her to stop as the drugs were making her awful to live with.
They can do that. I'm not sure if they did with the wife, or if she's always been like that. Tip your waitress, try the fish, enjoy your evening. Helping her with injections at the start wasn't much fun for either of us.
Since this started, I've been bumped from one job - possibly due to all of this going on in the background - and taken another which involved an arsehole of a commute, moved to another one closer to home, spent a year working from home, then changed career again. Been a long time doing all this when I remember all that.

This is a hell of a journey you and your Mrs have been on, mate. Is it P&B's first IVF baby?
The longer we spent doing treatment, the more we realised how common it is. The first doctor we saw said most folk have no idea of the issues that go on because for a lot of people, getting pregnant is a doddle, but for a growing percentage of the population, it's apparently becoming ever trickier.
We started it in 2016, having to lose weight to get so much as an appointment - I'm not a naturally thin person - and once we did we'd to wait for a place on the list for treatment, keep the weight off - I shed near four stone between the 2016 Champions League final and the Super Cup game that came after it that summer - and then we could begin. First try didn't work. Second try produced a positive test, but the scan that followed showed nothing.
Abandoned it for a while, and went back for another go, and it didn't work. Had almost given up, but were told that because we had eggs, drugs and some of my sauce left over, all we'd need to pay for do it private would be the implant, and weight didn't matter. Knowing it was the last go reduced the stress rather than increase it, oddly, as did the fact we could waddle in any size and it didn't matter. And here we are.
It's not a pleasant experience, all in, though it's not the worst for me, all I'd to do was churn out some manfat in a room with a very locked door one afternoon. Not much fun for the woman half, even down to the terminology - implants, harvesting, etc. - and the amount of drugs she'd to take through it all was grim. There's stories of folk going nuts doing it, burning all their money doing it, divorcing after the end when it doesn't work. We've burnt all our money but that was due to going on holiday inbetween tries when we thought it wouldn't work.
One day to go.

The rule reads like the maximum fine for breaching the relevant rule is £500, not £500 for every breach.

Are trialists allowed in league?
Can understand a cup tie but surely league matches can carry a trialist?
Three games as a trialist. So at best, still a fifteen point deduction, but no way that would work as an excuse. You’ve to say on the teamsheet said player is a trialist.

Banks O’ Dee should be deducted more points for the absolute arse they’ve made of telling folk what they’ve done. Sitting reading a dozen stories on Twitter and Pussbook saying they’ve been kicked deducted 24 points as a result of their being kicked out of the cup, not because they did THE SAME THING NINE TIMES in the league.

North Caledonian League Expansion
in North Pyramid
Posted
As for whether NRJ sides go and get licenced, there's a few formally or informally on the road to doing so. Much of the hype around the pyramid was that it would allow clubs to find their natural level, and they will. It just might take a while in a part of the world where crowds are in the tens, not the hundreds.
