Not a clue what you're on about.

I know the story behind it all. It was just stark seeing it in real life.

Knew I was veering too close to the crowdwank

One thing I'm really shocked about is the number of fans that Edinburgh brought. There were more directors and staff than paying fans. Cracking day to watch football and only 22 in the away end. A shame because it's a tidy team on the park.

Aye, although if you've seen where our camera is set up at the recs I want to ask someone relevant on Saturday if we can rig it similarly on the roof beams of their stand. Height helps massively. I'm reticent to attempt to film from the inside windows where I assume they're doing hospitality. All it takes is a bit of rain on a window to snooker you. To compare done a game at Crossgates the other day and it's nowhere near ideal at ground level. The camera sits at roughly 2m high at max elevation but it's not enough. https://youtu.be/qVPvnBfHdsA

I've not listened yet but to be fair that does explain it. There's a lot to unpack in that debacle. Not looking forward to the reverse fixture...

Very much this - I don't enjoy doing interviews because even I'm not that interested in the answer. For me it's a tick-box exercise. Brian Rice is very consistent with what he says. He likes to keep things positive and he doesn't like to look too far ahead. He doesn't have a massive focus on the opposition either because his philosophy is to affect the game with how we play - go score goals. To pluck a number from thin air 90% of what he'll say in interviews will cover those points. I find John McGlynn and Paul Smith are quite pleasant interviewees because they tend to be quite candid with praise for the opposition (us) whenever we've managed a result. Makes a change from blaming the pitch, referee, [insert other irrelevant excuses]

The only thing I'll say is it'll take me a while to get through 1:45 is a long podcast. 40 minutes for me is the sweetspot - I like to go to the gym in the mornings and listen to a single episode - I wouldn't last 1:45 in the gym

Had decent fun this week at two games fairly local to me https://youtu.be/Xt-38FGCF6Y - Pumpherston vs Sauchie https://youtu.be/qVPvnBfHdsA - Crossgates vs Thornton Hibs

On this note, I assume Jamie MacDonald for us was the longest emergency loan in history. If memory serves 5 months straight of renewals.

@wuffstercapturing an epic moment in history.

The only comments I have made to Partick Thistle were that the streaming blackout wasn't new information. It had been clarified multiple times before an SPFL email that Partick Thistle somewhat misleadingly spoke about as breaking news on August 1. And the statement they made a few weeks ago after googles data centre in London overheated. I also host Alloa's infrastructure there and we had our website restored by 6:15 while Partick Thistle's statement said "it wasn't our problem - we couldn't do anything." Google restored their service later the next day. Whoever blocked me does not like being told they are wrong. I'll be sure to bring it up next time I have official duties at Firhill.

Okay this is hilarious...

@Father Barrys Sign (Top Half)once said I'm the man who spins too many plates. Pre-match playlists coming off my laptop, playing goal music when we score while filming and commentating and troubleshooting any streaming problems midgame. Someone save me.

Alloa 2 - 0 Edinburgh Clyde 1 - 1 Kelty Dunfermline 2 - 0 Montrose Falkirk 1 -0 Peterhead QOS 0 - 2 Airdrie

No midnight highlights - went out for a few pints earlier. Just sitting down to do them now.

You know you know nothing in football when your predictions after 2 weeks need a wild adjustment.

Still worth it. Pixellot have a fixed rate per month no matter your usage. I'd imagine Stenhousemuir's live streams are in single figures as it is. It takes minutes to set up an event. Pretty sure it'd be turning down income not to use it and fairly certain EoS and Lowland League won't have the same holdback period in the rules that prevents them from streaming midweek games in the UK and Ireland although I assume the SFA would not consider streaming in the blackout hours as halal.
