If the league has a tally of aerial duels won, I'd imagine Neill is top of that list.
I don't have the comparison of aerial duels to hand but he is well out in front in recoveries.
Other outstanding stats: Kevin Cawley is comfortably ahead in second assists (assisting the assister)
No prizes for guessing who has the most fouls per 90 in the league.

Archibald Leitch was doing this a century ago with his double sided stand at Bradford Park Avenue for football and cricket. Fair to say the Portuguese one would fit in better at the Falkirk Stadium though
Feel sorry for anyone who has to sit on the cricket side.

Put some cover on that and make it safe standing and you have a good stand for watching training, youth games and womens games and mens football and if it’s safe standing the ultras can go in there if they want to
Or you could look to import Portuguese sunshine. Quite like the idea of a mad pyramid.

Saw this and thought of the Falkirk dual pitches for a 4th stand.8 -

This will never catch on here, m8.
Everyone loves to criticise refs based on blind prejudice, emotion and what they "reckon" happened rather than facts or what the laws actually say.
Watch the Rangers game last night and tell me how John Souttar was awarded a penalty against after heading the ball onto his hand?
Uefa referees would seem to agree that a Morgyn Neill-esque incident is completely up to interpretation.

We'll agree to disagree on that one.
We get a straight red against Cove for arguably a better tackle with less height and Dave McKay got a four match ban when it wasn't overturned.
Does look very fortunate from this angle.0 -

Hope our last game v Alloa at TFS isn’t changed to 5.30pm for Alba but I could see it happening. A late kick off is going to severely disrupt my celebration/drinking time.
They play all the games on the last day on the same time so I doubt it. Makes for interesting watching for the last few years when the Championship have played on Friday night.

You have to remember we will be playing 3 games in a week on different surfaces.
This season must be the most homogenous ever in terms of playing surfaces.
9 out of 10 sides have AstroTurf this season and at least 6 out of your last 7 have been played on the Greenfields mx surface we all use (can't find the Annan's pitch manufacturer)

We already kept Wales the last Scotland camp when he was called up for friendlies, these are now qualifiers for the EUROs. Can't blame him and wouldn't really want him to knock the opportunity to potentially play a tournament like that. Although, for us, definitely a massive blow.
This but Alfie Bavidge played for Scotland instead of Kelty in those friendlies interestingly enough.

It's pretty clear that clubs at this level are generally spending money they can't afford.
I'd disagree that they can afford it... but only with investment from outside the footballing business. Football's surely a hobby for most of us that we won't get much return on investment. Most wealthy businessman can probably say the same about owning a football club.

How long until the Indodrill sponsorship ends?
Think it's next season. Was it not first year in the Championship for 10 years?

I've just had a look at our most recent filings at Companies House, covering the 2022-23 season. £240,000 of debt to the Mulraney Group was converted to shares and a further £160,000 was raised through a share issue, and it looks like that was needed just to keep the club's financial position on an even keel. The way that we set out our accounts means that details are hard to come by, and my understanding of accounts is sketchy to say the least, but on face value it doesn't make for great reading.
Don't quote me on any accounting related topics either. Beyond this number is bigger than that number that's as sophisticated as I'll look at it.
Think increased cost is just a symptom of the times. The last few years have been massively inflated in terms of costs for everything and while that's happened we've also ran a big playing squad for a good few years now. As someone who really notices the lack of real estate in the programme - that's been way too big!
Bottom line is this though

I did like Sammons against Motherwell but I think youve covered the main ones. 2 horse race between O'Donnell and Roberts for me to date.
So many recently hard to remember!

I'm after goal of the season contenders. My short longlist for this season below.
Kurtis Roberts vs Hamilton
Taylor Steven vs Cove
Taylor Steven vs Stirling
Ally Roy vs Queen of the South
Ally Roy vs Montrose
Cammy O'Donnell vs Kelty
Any others that I've forgotten?

Ref also missed a clear hand/catch the ball in the air from Morgan Neill in the second half clear as day.
The only thing with that one is it's down to interpretation of the rules so it's a toss a coin decision. It's natural to put your arms up to chest a ball. Hits his chest then the hand so is that an unnatural position?

had assumed it was a foul by Cawley but having watched it at 0.25 speed, I see that Cawley isn't happy about Sean Dillon's tackle from behind and must have said something to the referee.
Missed this comment. Easy to see handball from Gardyne is why Kevin Cawley is getting on at the ref.

Also while I'm looking. No foul on this. No advantage played. You can see Kevs head flick to the referee as Duncan Williams is sitting daydreaming about what he is having for dinner. It was not a good display of refereeing.
There's another one in the first half that was an obvious kick to the back of his leg. I vividly remember him holding his calf after but I don't recall the time.
There's also one moment for Montrose that the entire stand went mental at the referee for getting something wrong.

The flick on (by Webster I understand) not in the Highlights ?
A quick turnaround on the highlights so I've clipped where I thought the opportunity ended without realising Montrose hoof it down the park.
Kevs sending off makes me think of this
But refs are completely unapproachable. I've heard bawbag said on bbc radio, if it was that insulting it should surely not be broadcast no?

I knew Roberts goal was a cracker but didn’t realise how far out he was when he hit it. Beautiful goal. We are scoring some fantastic goals during this winning streak. Big Andy has worked some magic on the boys. Not sure if it’s a plan that we have played within ourselves first half the last couple of games but it’s left plenty in the tank for the second half. Kinda feels that way after we collapsed second half against Falkirk that he didn’t want us killing ourselves in the first 45.
When did we last win 5 on the bounce?2012
Highly advise a follow for Jonathan Markwell1 -

You're a star, m8.
Roll on 10pm to see Kurtis's and Robbo's goals.
Once you see Robbo's again you see how close he was to missing

Aye dropped the footage in the wrong spot on from the memory card. Will fix it in about 5 minutes.
