The Original Haggis Hunter

Aye, he’s an excellent keeper. From Montrose, as mentioned, Blair Lyons. Andrew Steeves is good enough to be in the Championship at least, and would probably handle the premiership okay

There are some fine bars in Brechin, but have you seen their women? Bowf!

What a fekkin sesh we had, the town was jumping, lucky a taxi driver kint me, and got me home, was too pisht to speak

I’ll go for that.

There aren’t many who we would want to leave, and squad members I would especially like to stay are; Dillo, Steevsie, Paul Watson, Terry, Flem, Matty, both Cammies. The Fife cousins Liam & CJ also great to have. Lewis has talent, but we haven’t seen it for a wee while, he needs to get back to being more mental. Rusty got of to a slow start and he still needs to prove his worth. Not sure about Lennox yet, he seems to have good and bad days. Blair will be missed, and will be playing against us next season.

I’m not with you on this thread, but sympathise and understand where you’re coming from. Falkirk will feel hard done by if there is no 14-10-10-10 or the likes and you see yourselves as being firmly in the championship at least. As a Mo fan, we had 20 years or so punching beneath our weight, while clubs like Brechin were way above theirs. Now I see the Mo being where they should be and we do get entertaining football. But this is a bit of a rarity, and not many supporters can honestly say this. I think Scottish football needs a huge shake up. Clear out the archaic blazers running the show, look at other nations, like Iceland, Croatia etc and see what they are doing right. Stop trying to copy England, which is a totally different entity that gets billions chucked at football from the TV. Scotland gets the crumbs and the twa cheeks o the erse sook it up. This BBC is a hugely England centric entity, what country in the world would get to watch its neighbours international game while their own country is not available on mainstream TV? Why was Scottish football so successful in the 1970s and 80s? We can also learn from the past.

True, but there are a few clubs in a financial mess and many of them are in the premiership. Rangers are the ones that stand out. Could it be they haven’t learnt from recent history?

Taking life not so seriously, who is the star of the MOstarmind so far? I’m thinking Cammy or Steevo? Thoughts?

Me too, it was going to be a very interesting and exiting end of the season. League 1 was a bit unpredictable and who knows who would have won it. But Raith are the team now, and they are right to celebrate.

The Herald Jings. Do you believe what they say?

Some of the premier teams are likely the first to go down the tubes, Rangers apparently can survive 7 days without gate money. Not sure why this hasn’t happened yet

Okay, I’m no where near you all, probably because I’ve a large family and too many commitments, work etc. 1) 12 2) 11 3) Apart from Links Park, The Glebe, Brechin City 4) Apart from Links Park, Station Road, Forfar 5) Gayfield, atmosphere was brilliant, cracking ground, cracking pies. The stadium is like something dating back to the 1920s. Got to hand it to these stinky Arbroathers, they do a grand job 6) Ibrox (to watch Aberdeen) it’s a pit full of knuckle dragging half wits. They have no sense of humanity. I will never return. The stadium on my hit list are; Hibs, Easter Road East Fife, Bayview Raith Rovers Dumbarton

I agree totally. Even if temporary, there should be teams moved up from the Highland / Lowland leagues. Partick Thistle have been hard done by, Stranraer haven’t. Brechin look like having a great escape. Ive always thought the top 2 should be promoted in every league, and there should be no relegation. But how big each league should be, I don’t know.

Congratulations Raith Rovers. It was great crack while it lasted, will maybe see you again, one way or another

Well, at least one teams fans are happy, the Mo would still win the happiest fan award.

Come on lads, you are neighbours Seriously, when the smokies went up, I was genuinely happy for them, but gutted, the Mo v Arbroath games could get 2000 fans easy and I’m guessing it will be the same for you? It was a brilliant atmosphere when we played the fish smelling seaside tuechters. I have always found both the Raith and East Fife fans good supporters and had a great crack with individuals from both teams, so it’s no true what they say bout the Fifers

Just followed Mo Indy supporters club on Twitter, I’m now following every thing Mo related on Twitter

Sounds of silence, no information getting out

That’s the way it is. Remember when Boris was going for herd immunity, and him being chief donkey got that pretty much wrong and while 1 million people attended the races at Cheltenham, the long awaited East Fife v The Mo game was binned in Scotland. Just as well for the Fifers because they were crapping themselves anyway

The first line sums it up perfectly and it’s the fairest way to do it

I see your point, but this is the easiest and probably fairest solution and the “what if” contingent will be gutted but these are special times.

Promote the top 2 teams in every league, demote no teams, move teams up from the Highland / Lowland league, and give Celtic the title. Everyones a winner! If the Rangers don’t like it, tough titty, they are 13 points a drift.

As a Montrose fan, I want to say thank you to the Brechin lads that made a donation to our fund. Very kind, and we are hoping everything goes well for City. Myself and I dare say some other Mo fans have contributed to your gofundme, to show appreciation and solidarity!

Apologies for repeating this, I mentioned it in the wrong thread earlier. some of you will have read about what happened in Chile? Due to social unrest, their league was stopped at a similar stage to ours. Their equivalent SFA fell out big time after a similar solution to what has happened in Scotland. So they changed it and promoted the top 2 teams of each league. Nobody got demoted. Their top team in the top league was given the title, fairly enough, as they had a 13 point lead! So the twa cheeks o the arse should accept this, well the blue cheek should! Scottish football needs a shake up. Stop copying England, shut down Junior football and add the teams into the Highland / Lowland leagues (making more leagues). One governing body, with less dominance from the twa cheeks. Make each league bigger by 2 teams? Maybe not ideal, but would stop the bitterness?

Chile had a similar problem, not being able to finish the league due to civil unrest. Their SFA equivalent had a near civil war, so what they did was no team got demoted, and they promoted the top 2 teams in each league. Seems pretty fair. Also they should look at moving up some of the Lowland / Highland clubs. Infact, Scottish football needs a total shake up. Do away with junior football and move the teams into divisions of Highland and Lowland?
