Too much distance between the grounds. Brechin City v Montrose has more credibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 What the most P&B-centric derby, as in ones that largely just exist on here and don't really exist in the grounds on gameday? My personal pick is St Mirren vs St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I wonder what Joe's maximum distance is for it to be a proper derby E.G. Arbroath is closer to Montrose than Ayr is to Kilmarnock. Kelty Hearts v Cowden is now a closer derby albeit without a century of Scottish League history behind it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Why can I vote for both East Stirlingsure and Falkirk on question 1 but not both teams in question 2 and 3? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Ferrino Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Why are they called 'Derbys"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 1 hour ago, Tony Ferrino said: Why are they called 'Derbys"? Quote The other theory as to the name's origin involves Shrovetide football, an early, unofficiated version of both association and rugby football. It was first played in the town of Derby prior to Medieval times. From as early as the 12th century it was known to have been played in Ashbourne. It was a chaotic and exuberant affair that involved the whole town, often resulting in fatalities. The goals were at Nuns Mill in the north and the Gallows Balk in the south of the town, and much of the action took place in the River Derwent or the Markeaton Brook. Nominally the players came from All Saints' and St Peter's parishes, but in practice the game was a free-for-all with as many as 1,000 players. A Frenchman who observed a match in 1829 wrote in horror, 'if Englishmen call this play, it would be impossible to say what they call fighting'. Shrovetide football is still an annual event in the town of Ashbourne 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The Rangers and Larkhall Thistle would be like Linfield and Glentoran although Larkhall has over 100 years more history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Kilmarnock is fucking miles away from Ayr, and looks like what most west of Scotland towns would if a nuke hit them.

The Moonster Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 7 miles between us and those Bankie b*****ds. I assume that means we're a proper derby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirktheinvincible Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 About 15 miles between us & Cumbernauld but Falkirk versus Clyde must be classed as some sort of derby as we had a really big crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
