What the SFA elite boys club? Saw a prime example of what people contend with in terms of consistency in the first game of the season. Sock clash at killie vs rangers. That weekend there wouldve been officials being watched who have had to insist a team change their socks to not clash and are fighting a losing battle before they blow the first whistle. I got pulled for a black vs maroon sock clash in the WoS in my last season

With braves, colts, then Edinburgh uni I feel like we need at least 7 points from this...but in struggling to see us picking up 4 at the minute.

Ah fair didn't know they had their own guidelines for minimum dimensions

Absolutely, I get some places have size constraints. I remember something about Brechin having an issue with that, but being real in the modern era where we don't have dozens of pitches crammed into a small place there should be plenty of reasonably sized pitches.

Yeah seems daft that they allow so much wiggle room, I know for international matches(I assume that also Includes uefa domestic comps) there's a minimum sizing for pitches of 64m wide 100m long with a maximum of 75m and 110m. Seems baffling you can have such disparity in the dimensions out with the international with widths of 45-90m and 90m to 120m in length. Hypothetically you could find a case where a pitch is 90m by 90m.

Ideal mate cheers. Sadly back at uni but given no student card yet so the joys of the adult pricing tomorrow

What are Albion charging for admission this season? Tried to have a look at prices online but it was last seasons prices

Minimum width is 45m maximum is 90, so just to standard and no more

True true, stupid question incoming but hypothetically what would the response from a Celtic or Hearts be if their B team found themselves in the relegation zone come the end of play. Dummy spitting or do you think they'd accept the fate and try get in the the west/east respectively. I don't think either would accept them but it begs the question of what would occur in that situation if they didn't throw the toys out the pram and pull the teams

I feel like I've been exposed haha

When i was in the US I asked if i wanted any sauce with my meal and i said "aye tomatoe" please and the lad looked me dead in the eye and said "we dont have tomato...just ketchup or bbq" blood pressure was deffo rising at that point, another was a Texan saying...no comprende...do you speak English in Scotland

our new away top EDITED: home shorts and socks in photo, orange shorts and grey socks for new away kit

fair, i'm sure someone at Berwick told me that at an away day in the first season of the B team introduction. could have totally made this up...never know these days haha

ive seen us play against both B teams, in the first season they were in. there seemed to be a sense of entitlement between who was going to watch them with a "Oh its only the LL" mentality. sooner Celtic and Hearts are out the better. would rather they were replaced with ambitious teams from the EoS, WoS, SS leagues

am I right in saying their first season in they demanded both changing rooms at Berwick and for a fridge to be brought in and when Berwick said no they spat the dummy and got changed on the bus or something? feel like I heard someone say that to me but I could be totally wrong

Have to say with all honesty you guys have an excellent goalkeeper in Kennedy, the saves he pulled off today were outstanding. Could've been a lot more than 4 to us. Surprised he's playing LL at all and not League 1/League 2

Managed to get enrolled by getting access to my emails through ITDS. Emails were closed after I graduated in 2020 but sorted now thankfully

Very true, swings and round abouts in the grand scheme of it. You brought a good support up with you yesterday

Been waiting to do online enrollment for the PGDE, still no happened yet and start tomorrow. So I assume there's still issues with it then?

tell me you'd accept that penalty going against you ladd, not one of your players even appealed for it, no fans appealed for it. Your team started moving as if to set up for a corner.

Don't even know where to begin with yesterday. Firstly, what even did the referee see for their penality? No appeals, no shouts from any Berwick player they moved as if to set up for a corner. Stevenson has 4 fouls on our players, first player in the book is one of ours. Their second goal, came from a foul on Connelly, a similar tackle to what we had a player cautioned for earlier. Farcical but to be expected from the officials the SFA are pushing these days...

Just bought my season ticket for the new season

Varied, there is now a base rate then a milage top up. Average you walk away with is 60-65 per game, to encourage refs to not call off the likes of girvan or maybole due to travel for 45 quid. Base rates were 50/55 the higher being wos prem rates, assistants are 27.50 in the prem and 25 in the wos. AR1s generally cat 4d occasionally cat 5s, ar 2 generally cat 5 and below still in the amateur/youth ranks. I could still find myself on a wos prem line a week after doing a wos div one game based on the rota. It sometimes that was subbed out for a lowland league line etc. For example with wages I know the SWFL and SWPL are all paid for by the SFA, well they were when I did them and I assume they still are like the Scottish cup games. But that's a major issues, people going in with a massive ego, getting paid more than the players and taking a chunk of gate money wondering why they are grossly disliked. I had a certain style, I like to let play go on, banter with players to get them onside, none of this right go away don't talk you see alot of. But was continually brought up in observations.

Looking forward to our away day to gretna, honest good people who run the club who make you feel welcome. Experienced this when we played them and they were playing out of annan. Made me, my other half and little one feel more than welcome.

You've taken no notice of the actual changes from the old badge to the new badge, one of the three lines is now blue a throw back to the original colour of the club in the earlier days. The date of formation now sits either side of the ball which was previously below the crest too. Minute details but not simply just the old badge
