Quite a feat being a bigger idiot than George Craig.

Thing is, the lesser idiot (if that be true) managed to get two other football gigs, whereas the greater idiot didn’t……although he did manage to get an impassioned statement of support from MR.

The Hibs AGM when a supporter asked GC “what exactly is it that you do?”. GC (speaking about himself in the 3rd person) responded by saying “What GC does for Hibs will only become apparent after GC leaves”. After being found out and leaving, the chap wrote in a forum that “GC was right. It was only after he left that we all discovered what it was he had been doing for the last year and a half………taking a wage to do absolutely f**k all.”

Probably one of our best episodes, we should ignore the football or pretend the game was off most weeks 😂.

We look back at the last year, from Martin Rennie & Lee Griffiths to the current situation....

Plus discussing Alloa’s school boy error, the final of the World Cup of Falkirk Strips & a look ahead to QOS.

Don’t know how good the East of Scotland league is, but every time I see the Bo’ness result, some guy Daramola is banging in the goals. Another 4 tonight. Anyone got info on him? Worth a shout? 
Edited to add….just noticed it’s the 3rd division and it’s Bo’ness Athletic. Probably mince.

more edits….just noticed he has already scored 40 goals this season. That’s some strike rate.

Barr was in the youth system in the Brockville days (YTS?) Scobbie was part of the Academy set-up along with Arfield, Mitchell, Allison. Stewart etc.

What a squad, oozes class and great depth. Actually quite sad looking at it now, quite a few heroes in there - exact opposite of our wilderness years down in Div 3.

Our downfall from there to the Championship was definitely on the man on the far left. Our further descent into oblivion was for sure on Craig Campbell along with the baggage (lies, accusations, legal action & massive cock ups)

Does that encompass three or four financial years? Can you confirm our monthly intake 

I believe three and a half years. June 19 it started

A fair number of senior teams looking at him. It is different levels but IMO when these sort of players appear there is no harm getting him in to take a look in training.

This.

The attached article from November suggests that he might be capable of playing at a higher level.

There was a guy at that level (possibly even the same team) who scored 40 odd last season and went to Cowdenbeath who isn't exactly setting the heather alight in the Lowland League to be fair. Worth a punt for someone like you or us though, can always move down to League Two if he doesn't make the grade.

I'm not sure we will do that by choice just to accomodate a player, but the way we are going it might be where we find ourselves in a couple of years or so.....

Scott Sinclair we had him in for training last season I believe, he was at Boness also.

“Descent into oblivion”, you say? That one rests on the guy front & centre.

The young boy Joe Bevan at Camelon looks like a player.  Only 17, but certainly one for the future

Already been looked at by a L1 team lower down the league who decided not to take it further according to my source.

He's playing for a senior team! Couldn't cut it in the first team at Stenny or Camelon - maybe the move to Linlithgow Ams has improved him but its a massive jump from Level 9 to Level 3 and the lad Arbroath took is already back there whilst the striker Stirling took from Level 8 ain't exactly setting the stats on fire either.

Think it was 4 he scored against the rose last night. Albeit in a bounce game on a carpet.
