So I feel entering a 2nd weekend team in a proper league is a bit of an insult to said league. It does scream of stability and probably a headache EoS teams could do without. Why should half the players in Division 3 have to be available for Friday night games just so some Premier League team can play a few kids in their league?

It's actually looking worrying for Nylander, there's something really not right with him. It's disgusting hearing some Toronto fans shouting that "he's ok to go and buy ice cream with his mates but he can't play a game of hockey"! The guy is obviously not well and needs time off, or he would be playing. Hopefully they get papped out before they risk playing him when he isn't ready to play

Fair enough. I said if they tightened the player registration rules and played a regular schedule (like Stirling Uni) it would be good, but if they are playing Friday night (when other teams have fringe players playing under 20's), not committed for more than 1 season and wanting to move players between teams when they want, then they need to find themselves a proper reserve league to play in

That's true, I only saw half a frame for the other game and was completely fixed on every brutal minute of Si vs Jones for the rest of the night. It's what makes the crucible worth watching, every night is different and the longer matches let the games ebb and flow

This is some viewing!

Good to see you're over it now and still don't think about it every day

Arthurlie 1-3 Auchinleck Talbot Gartcairn 1-2 Hurlford United Maybole Juniors 3-5 St. Roch's Larkhall Thistle 0-0 Cumbernauld United West Park United 1-2 Lanark United BSC Glasgow 1-4 Giffnock

If you aren’t cheating, you ain’t trying!

Si is a disaster, it is getting hard to watch now

Excellent point

I think it's more a case of more teams could be Bronze standard if they had to be (with a little work), but it's not worth the extra costs while they're still playing at tier 5

Where's @PossilYM? Surely he should be all over here telling us how much of an embarrassment this is for "the Blazers"...

Of course they'll say that. They don't want everyone thinking they actually planned it

Apart from the ones who finish with a championship playoff, like MLS and USL

Honestly don't know where that came from but it saved us a session and a half of Gilbert stumbling across the line. It might end up being a good game to watch now

I sense a meltdown coming...

A82 by any chance? Inverness to Fort William was always a ball-ache with them. Then the only decent straight to pass safely has a mobile speed camera parked on it

Good choice. Kyleakin away is worth it just for the drive and a chippy up in Broadford before coming home. I personally would avoid the boat trip, I can't even get out the dock without spewing up. Even JoG to St Mary's was nearly too much for me! The Wick Groats route would probably be my choice, keep my feet dry

I bet you even shuddered as you typed that! It was mental they didn't get cover when they had a chance, even someone like Jake Allen as a reliable backup Is the parade officially back on? Bertuzzi and Domi together are good fun, never know what you'll get with them

"All star" Goalies both on top in Winnipeg

He's not even a good fighter. Apparently one of the guys who asked for a fight gave him a seeing to in the AHL so Rempe said nah. The staged fights are stupid though, totally takes away the reasoning for having fights in the sport in the first place. If Rempe can clean up his act and stay out of trouble, there's a decent hockey player in there. He just needs to be careful with his health and reputation. The same words have been said about a lot of old stars when they were young and daft

It's funny, I posted something on some American based forum months ago about Rempe actually being a good player and all the noise around him isn't helping his development. Trying to point out the good side of his game I got completely ripped apart from all corners with the usual "there's no space for him in modern hockey", "he's only out to hurt people" and questioning what I know about hockey... Now they are all slavering over him and talking about his "attacking upside" and basically everything I said when I first saw the guy play and saw what he was doing in the lower leagues. Safe to say ill not be sharing my opinion there again

Listening to them all stumbling about Vafaei playing left handed instead of using the rest. Only Steve Davies actually got it
