There's the one that was Stirling Albion's first stand.

Just think, if they had gone with 2 divisions on reconstruction, you'd have Alloa, Arbroath, and QotS as top flight clubs...I can't help but think that would be a bit more interesting than Kilmarnock v Motherwell for about the 27th time in a decade.

Livermore goes in hard on Grealish: red. Hause stamps on Diangana: yellow. You think YOUR refs are bad? Try having Twatkinson for fifteen years.

It helps when the financial differences between top and bottom are not so pronounced. Plus their players are more likely to be poached to go overseas than by direct competitors. Can't be many teams with a / in their name that are not the result of a merger. Wonder if it is meant to represent a lightning bolt.

The rule in England was the home team changed until the 1920s. Rugby kept the rule a lot longer, perhaps because there was sometimes no easy way to tell if there would be a clash. Until 1972 the rule in the FA Cup - no idea if it was the Scottish Cup as well - was that if there was a colour clash, then BOTH teams changed. Which was a bit daft. Two teams playing in blue might both have a change kit in yellow or white. So very often there were ad hoc third kits, sometimes borrowing one from a neighbouring club.

The flag is also a bit of a giveaway. I take it back then the home team changed? Maroon and red would have been a clash.

One club city, decent catchment area; I would have thought Stirling Albion a prime target for anyone with a few bob who fancied a bit of fun. Is there just a general non-footballingness about Stirling? King's Park never set anything alight either.

That's a weird Nazi flag, like they've reversed the red and the white. Did nobody have one so they just painted a swastika on a flag of Japan?

The copper on the right looks like Daniel Woodgate just off shooting the "Shut Up" video.

There is, you can have, at most, 2 terms plus 2 years of someone else's term. It's a pretty disastrous amendment, it enabled Trump to step forward and not have to deal with Obama.

Brodie recovered enough to play semi-pro football, which was unfortunate, as he was the Margate goalie when they lost 11-0 at Bournemouth (Ted Macdougall nabbing a treble hat-trick).

This was both teams' final game. Ayr winning 1-0. So a bit bittersweet. some of these chaps would no longer be first-team players. Black armbands on some players. Wonder what that's about.

He got booked for descent.

One single, one flexi, that's your lot from The Clouds... ...one of the best b-sides ever.

Nothing wrong with that.

And of course do what I always did and put Villa bottom of the fourth division all season long.

That seems really low, is there a reason for it?

It's weird that the solution to the big clubs playing too many games is to cull the games that make the smaller clubs money.

Heh, I wonder what the point of all that was. Someone with money on an ego trip?

Maybe they should invite them into the League Cup to make up for the fixtures?

Bertie Auld, in his brief sojourn at Blues, had one of the best sendings-off ever, against Fulham. Bertie nutmegged the £100 per weeker Johnny Haynes. Haynes was not exactly keen on that and tried to deck Bertie. Big mistake. One right hook later and Haynes was spark out. Fulham full-back Maurice Cook ran over for revenge and never got it as Bertie decked him too. Alas Bertie was sent off. So was Haynes. On a stretcher.

Bury.

Or people who have had fights with people called William.

Scotland has tended to be stricter on Covid closedowns, so I expect it to be the same for you as well.
