The crest in my avatar is a clue. Eventually ill do it professionally…

2-2 at Arthurlie versus Talbot. Picked a good time to wrap up the language learning.

Arthurlie 1, Talbot 1. And I miss both goals as on Duolingo…

Arthurlie 0, Talbot 1. Early doors.

When we at Gartcairn twice there was two porta-toilets and a food van. Was the latter missing today?

Maybe it’s me but I just can’t trust any user who doesn’t use the default font on Pie and Bovril.

Abbey Vale last season?

Well worth the trip from Edinburgh.

To be fair, that Facebook page is a binfire. I had a former player say “who wants to watch Bellshill versus Maybole?”. And those wanting to bring the wee Ayrshire league, and 22 games a season, back. Cute. Classic social media nonsense.

To be blunt, there was no good reason to continue the way things were in 2020. Or 2017, or even earlier, as it stood in the juniors. The challenge for anyone arguing otherwise, or wanting to go back to those days, is disproving the above. In a way that avoids lazy rehashes of "long journeys" or "low crowds". With the pyramid... it took almost ten years in England for it to solidify with automatic promotion and relegation in the 1980s. And into the 2000s before it became yet more fluid. It will take time in Scotland, too.

Shotts is a good day out. Let's see them get promoted.

Resigned today. As I’ve said before, he wasn’t ever previously our Head of Youth Development.

We were told we couldn't play a regional cup match due to a later round Junior Cup match being a few miles away. This was a few years ago now but in the Pie and Bovril era. Needless to say, it didn't help our backlog. No games for weeks.

I miss traffordab.

Last season? (Not that it isn't a fair point. But context is key.)
