She's been a high profile Dundee United fan for at least 3 decades. Doesnt matter, just struck me as odd. She started supporting them in 87, glory hunter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinstate Berwick, Brechin, Shire, Cowden and Albion Rovers. Leave the diddies like East Kilbride and Clydebank in the abyss where they belong. Simples, eh @PossilYM @Vanderbilt The SPFL bottom 2 divisions are full of part time diddies with a couple of hundred fans being propped up by leeching onto Premier and Championship sponsorship and tv deals. Since licensing and Scottish Cup entry has been opened up everybody has seen how shite a lot of these clubs are. Elgin lost 6-0 at Jeanfield Swifts ffs -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menzel Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Excellent viewing to be had with those highlights. How Joao Balde misses that chance at the death I'll never know - shocking stuff. EK seemingly showing their true character at the end of the match. Absolutely delighted that Stranraer are staying in League 2 and these chancers have failed - again - in their promotion ambitions.

Hampden Diehard Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Enjoyed the Stranraer highlights. Hopefully some of the extra locals who came alone will make an effort to support their local team a bit more often. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there any other teams in that league that could afford a good dozen signings and attractive wages? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin lost 6-0 at Jeanfield Swifts ffs See this argument every year, but it’s easy to get yourself up for a 1 off cup match against higher opposition. Jeanfield were absolute garbage when they came to us after beating Elgin, and trust me we were woeful at that time as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AUcal Posted May 19 Popular Post Share Posted May 19 I, like many others, very much look forward to having some proper community football clubs, who live within their means, coming up through the pyramid to challenge. The LL already has a few, so good luck to them. Until that point however, I think its very much the case that in these fixtures many will continue to support the L2 community football clubs that live within their means. For example, it would be great to see bankies return at some point, or to see a real progression of big clubs like Talbot or Pollok, but clubs like EK are everything that is wrong with the idea of 'ambitious' lower-league clubs. Living within your means is now viewed as being unambitious and lazy - as opposed to it being the very bedrock that the Scottish game requires. Saturday was the perfect rebuttal to the sycophantic media interpretation of spaffing money on a vanity football project. 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde_MM Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 57 minutes ago, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: Away ye go. He celebrated a goal infront of the opposition fans, so f**k. It happens up and down the country week in week out. Even if there was no history it’s lovely to see a bit of needle in a game. Each to their own. Personally, I think it's petty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrigtonClyde Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 49 minutes ago, Moonball said: I was tracking the player celebration close up otherwise it would have made the cut On Lorraine: "Kelly was born on 30 November 1959 and lived in the Gorbals area of Glasgow until she was two. She spent the first few years of her life in Glasgow before the family moved to East Kilbride where she attended Claremont High School" She started off in the Gorbals, moved to Brigton, then East Kilbride then England. It's just been a long downward spiral for that poor wee wummin from day one. Such a shame the glorified tennis court with a few seats glued into the side of it won't be gracing League 2 next season. Between that and their Toys R Us store closing down, only the truly hard hearted wouldn't spare a thought in these difficult times..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
