From the same page of the Joma catalogue as Morton's kit, but still way nicer than the red and white monstrosity we wore in last season's final.

Went for Main Stand tickets. I don't know why, but I think Falkirk's main stand looks superb.
It is a good stand to watch from.
I've been fortunate enough to get hospitality through there a few times and the the view of the game is excellent.

Moving on from all the Seaside League nonsense above, does anyone know of any pubs running buses to the final on the 26th?
The buses organised by the club were fully booked pretty much immediately and the buses from the Novar and Dunnikier Golf club are also full.

Does anyone know of any pubs running buses to the game with spare seats?
The buses organised by the club were fully booked almost immediately.
Tired the Novar and Dunnikier Golf club, but both full as well.

Is Sunday's game only on the extortion channel, Viaplay?
Oh yes, absolutely.
And no doubt they'll have some mouth breather like Alex Rae to impart his wisdom.

It looks like a solid foundation for next season. Absolutely need to address the striking situation properly, particularly with a bit of extra money from the Rangers game now in play.
How solid a foundation will largely depend on how many of our better out of contract players are offered more lucrative deals elsewhere.

Wtf was Callumn Morrison doing there?
That's the title settled
Morrison will rightly get slaughtered for that, but big questions about your 6 foot plus centre half being out-jumped by a guy half his size seconds before.

The one thing that really struck me tonight is that, despite our issues with central defenders, we made the right call in not offering Sean Mackie another deal.

It is indeed...
Someone on here may be able to settle a recent query I had with some pals. Was he the first player to score for the same club in the Second, First and Premier Divisions?
I would reckon that could well be true, unless someone did it for Clydebank when they had consecutive promotions in the mid 1970s.
I'm sure the Pars fans nicknamed him Winker and the Rovers fans called him something very similar.

The old East End was a cracking stadium. Remember going to one of the first Sunday cup ties there in the mid 70s - unfortunately Queens lost 1-0 that day with John Dempster somehow clearing the crossbar from the middle of the 6 yd box. Grand day out though.
Much as it pains me, I agree with you on it being a cracking ground. The atmosphere was immense under the shed on the north side, especially in the dark where you could hear, but barely see what was on the other side.
The noise cranked up when the teams used to emerge from separate doors, rather than a tunnel, in the main stand and had to trot down the steps on to the pitch.
We actually used to win an odd game or two through there when it was like that.

Anyone know if there are supporters buses running to Ibrox?
There was information on bus travel on the website.

My brother was at that. And still fumes at the refereeing injustices to this day.
I can't remember an awful lot about that game, other than the fact United must have won as they played Motherwell in the final.
If you want to talk about refereeing injustices, fast forward a few posts to the photo of Moyes and Watson re the 1991-92 league cup semi.

We played Dundee Utd at East End Park in 91 so maybe its just the west coast clubs that have expectations of Hampden.
League cup semi between Raith & Airdrie was at McDiarmid in 94
United v St Johnstone at East End in 1991.

John Lambie - born on this day in 1941 - gone, but not forgotten.
When you think of John Lambie, Frank Connor, Ally MacLeod, Eddie Hunter, Jock Wallace and Jim Leishman, you soon realise how bland and sterile today's managers are.

East End hosted the 1979/80 League Cup semi final between Dundee United and Hamilton as well.

Sad news.
A great servant to your club and fitting that you named your Main Stand after him.
His teams always played good football and produced a conveyor belt of young talent.

There's no danger we're overhauling a gap of 5 or 6 points on two of Morton, Ayr and Thistle.
Especially with Morton and Ayr having a game in hand against each other.

Nobody gives a shit, Just saying
You should ask an adult nicely if they'll take you to the game as you'll get in for free.
You can't have had many opportunities to attend a Cup Final of any sort. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Colin Steven getting wiped out was a flare worthy moment tbf.
I'm surprised none of our players took the opportunity to tread / stamp on him when he was down (accidentally, of course).

During lockdown everyone made impulse buys, for some it was easy to justify upgrading your power tool collection.
At least that Dremel would become useful sometime, alas...
There was a wee incident in Still Game involving a Dremel, although it was somewhat overshadowed in the same episode by Boabby's video.

Does that include the amount paid to Clyde, and the wages paid to Goodwillie while he was at the club?
So much money to then cause so much grief.
Not that it makes good reading whichever way you spin it, but that £105,000 termination figure probably includes James Keatings as well as Goodwillie.

A frustrating night for Rovers, and probably Ayr fans are feeling the same.
If it's not your night and nothing is quite clicking in the final third, it's just a case of make sure you don't lose the game, so in that respect, take the point and move on.
