If that was the basis of your supposition it was a pretty shaky one. I'm not excited by something that happened 13 years ago. It wasn't even that exciting then. Just give the sanctimonious stuff a rest your club's hands aren't clean. What I will admit is my embarrassment and horror that my own club has issued no condemnation of the unacceptable behaviour towards your fans from a bunch of teenage thugs we are inflicted with. None on assaults on 12s and under at Dumbarton and Albion Rovers either. No statement. No apology. Nothing , absolutely shameful. I wasn't suggesting Rangers would buy East Stirling and move to Firs Park, either. You clearly did misunderstand, else you wouldn't have talked about Airdries shareholders. It's ok. I'm not looking for victories on the Internet. Enjoy your Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You too, there are no victories on the internet, only different perspectives for different reasons. For what it's worth I'm totally opposed to B teams as well, but I confine my outrage to them. Doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong. It does guarantee a few clashes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a big game like that I maybe would have expected more from Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastle broon Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 An old debate on here was that Spartans used to count the overhead planes and Morrisons car park just to boost the numbers. Looks like their work in the community is shooting some leaves though. Not sure if a 4th Edinburgh team in the SPFL would work and how far their ambitions aim but they certainly have a forward thinking chairman at the helm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is i suppose. i do hope Brechin find their way back eventually.I have a wee spot for them as i remember going to Brechin 0-0 Hibs pre season friendly in the early 80s when i was a bairn.I was quite amazed by the hedge.

Think so, there must have been 50-100 youngsters in the their new stand singing and bouncing away, they were also well behaved in comparison to our own. There were also a large number of youngsters in what looked to be Spartans Youth Team kit dotted about the stadium, which was all good to see I would say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is the capital, and that would give them more SPFL teams than play in Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
