Horfield Old Boys (suburban lge) on sat and the Anchor Hotel (Regional) on sun. Both folded by the 2000's sadly.

Seen this in the Bristol area where leagues were decimated & some folded, sign of the times I guess. Seems like the travelling is an issue, lack of players & costs too ? Good luck to those clubs that remain.

Proves that the English players are made to look better at club level, because of the talented passing and movement of the foreign players alongside them. They look tired- just play the English way,quicker. Wouldn't surprise me if it goes to pens.

Anyone know when the junior lge fixtures are being released ? Hoping to squeeze some games into my week away

Usually a selfish point of view as I look to have loads of games on my holidays ! Probably stems from being used to having games every day down south - and set in my ways.

Usual complaint from me, in that there is usually many p-p games during the winter - why no midweek games in the so called professional league ? Not to worry, slowly sorting my holiday Aug 3-10 staying in Aberdeen.

The so called presenters show why I don't turn on until kick off - looking at the line up it seems the idea is to stay in the game as long as possible - then gung ho if need be. Wouldn't expect anything adventurous, just hope the Scots can score two somehow. Out of interest, I believe that every level below 'world class' has slumped the past 20-30 years.(Not just Scotland)

Admittedly Southgate is too defensive and can't get the best from these decent players, however in the Premier League they are surrounded by overseas class players which must make a difference. England always last eight, no more or less. Maybe a gung-ho type manager would get more, just needs more tempo from the start.

Boring tedious shite, total possession and no real shots on target. Only a couple of class players in squad but difficult to watch this. Better to turn sound off re commentary, pathetic backside licking stuff.

Hopefully some of the amateurs can make the jump up to the West - better than having players leave the clubs to join current WOSFL clubs. The only downside imo would be say 6 amateurs join up, only to go ground sharing at a soulless 3g cage. Not sure what the lower level ground entry rules are, for the amateurs to progress. Would be another part to the pyramid, good luck everyone.

Can only imagine the game plan was to sit back and stifle for 90 mins and hope to catch something on the break. Ridiculous challenge for the red card, hardly got into the game so far. Forget this one, can the Scots get anything from the other games without showing intensity, forcing tackles and trying to push upwards ? Time to watch the golf.

I spy some 'nimby' houses in the background, and maybe the violets have moved to another ground ? G - Grazing Goats to keep grass down.

Say August 10th to end April has 38 Saturdays, add in around 6 midweek 'opportunities' to play under the lights. Lge & Cup plus South Challenge and Junior Cup shows it needs only a few bad weather breaks to buggar up the fixtures. A few midweek games early on may cut the backlog later on. Seems many are against playing midweek - which maybe the only answer to fulfill games. Can league games be played away from the home venues ? (On artificial maybe )

Solution = the SFA and SPFL pay for the pitches to be improved and /or replaced - then charge the clubs rent for using them. What an ingenious money spinner for the blazers.
