Deveronhills is my guess. Visited Dyce couple of years back so good luck if they've put the work in, was a basic ground that I saw. What support do they / could they get ? Would be a good start to see some nrjfa clubs try and improve, hope the costs don't put them off.

Quite right,can see an influx of B teams over the next few years - and when they start winning the league, some clown will ask why they can't get promoted, another can of worms opening up.Cant see any benefit these teams have provided so far, expect they'll all be in the 1st teams now that they've played against grown men (wasn't that the idea ? )

Should have made a ruling that all clubs with B teams would agree to pay an away following of 300+ to the hosts, whether they take that many or not. A small % of the OF regular 50,000 crowd. Get back in the reserve League.

Hasty drive to the Creek (Bristol Manor Farm) for Shirehampton v Bristol Telephones in Western League Div 1. £6 prog £1 hot drink £1. After a goalless first half, a 46th min opener as the visiting gk couldn't hold a shot, simple finish. Floodgates opened for a 5-0 victory, with the Phones having two late red cards to seal their fate.

Just think VAR takes away the instant enjoyment of watching football, we all accept dodgy decisions, things to talk about. Annoyingly playing on, and then possibly going back to make a decision really tedious. Must be hard to referee with just 2 angles (Inc linesman) with people watching from all angles on a TV set. Do VAR officials get questioned ?

I'm pretty sure that some architects could make a plan to redesign the interior of Hampden - install new seating etc. Remove all seating to reveal a 'blank canvas' for the arty and skilful types to design. Personally the bigger British grounds are way better than Wembley and Hampden. Murrayfield I like, the new ground outside for Edinburgh perfect for them. What if a big sponsor could get naming rights for Hampden, may help the costs involved.

Any fund raising for the club ? Maybe Victorian Dad, but catch the scum and then set fire to their houses. Seem to have had a spate of these in Scotland during this season, real shame.

Great display Pollok, fully deserved to get through on the night.Looked excellent under the lights too, worth getting them up. Only complaint, get the handyman up the ladder and repaint the covered side roof - can remember it gleaming black & white.

Anywhere to find attendances for yesterdays games ? Was at Sauchie, maybe 1,000 + is my guess. Att = gate reciepts.

Cracking game at Beechwood Park, Sauchie fully deserving 32 win. The teenage Ultras made it a decent atmosphere,fair play to them.Rose couldnt defend set pieces, glorious headers finding the net.The late goal only a consolation, could easily have been 41 before then.Both the home no.4 and no.9 my motm, defender could easily play higher up the leagues. Bonnyrigg half chances, but never able to dominate.

Think the guaranteed promotion for both HL and LL champions could be the only way spfl clubs could vote for a change, don't think they fancy the wilderness for too long. Since their relegations, you don't hear many complaints from ex spfl clubs - maybe the Lowland could resemble the English National before long.

Just back from the Ibrox Library, what a torture. If only Dundee had a bit more up front they could have got something as the Gers defended their 1-0 lead,utter crap they were. The booing justified, rubbish atmosphere apart from the one singing section.Fair play to the Dundee fans who travelled, stayed in the game at 10 and then got adventurous toward the end. Plenty of empty seats, under 30,000 att ?

Only a quickie: with all these foreign games, do you all make trips over there - or are some ex pat's ? Some brilliant games , venues, photos, the Czech one seemed great. Have done Juventus (old ground) Sweden (4 games) and Poland (4) in my younger days. Keep up the good work folks.

Also went last night, Clyde looked disjointed, not knowing what their jobs were. On the 3 or 4 occasions that decent crosses went in, there was either no one gambling or big enough to win headers.The only way was to push up and stop the Pars playing,force them into mistakes. Add some old heads and the youngsters may prosper.

Always played with linesmen, club officials mainly (often cheating) but would find it hard defending, especially when you're looking for a flag, knowing it's an offside. Fair play to the ref's who try to run the game, just think it's down to lack of numbers throughout the game itself.

Any ideas when those p-p games will be replayed ? Enjoyed today's Edinburgh South game, kept me busy on a Sunday !

Slow burner at Lesser Hampden, visited a few times. Are there plans to have any terracing - on either side I guess ? Different ideas at Ayr look good, again I hope they keep terrace unless told it's unsafe, by some jobsworth. Always interesting to see how clubs progress - unless they just bang seats onto the terrace which looks crap.
