I don’t see it as just the yanks. It’s modern football. Tickets, travel, trains, food at games etc, everything is jacked up. Not a fans game any more.

Agreed and I'm going. Genuinely starting to regret it a wee bit now

I watched the BBC coverage this afternoon so missed the news that Michael Stewart was banned from Hampden for his co-commentary duties on Premier Sports. Premier decided to sneak him into the car park to broadcast from one of their trucks but he has since been banned from the car park too! https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/latest-premiership-news/banned-scottish-football-pundit-gets-creative-with-car-park-stunt-as-farcical-situation-slammed-6724960 Got to love Scottish Fitba!

Bournemouth manager Iraola has announced he is leaving at the end of the season. Apparently being replaced by Marco Rose who was at RB Leipzig last season.

What’s the chances that Congreve could be enticed away from Swansea? He looks decent, 22 and a season in the league under his belt. The FB Schjønning-Larsen at Killie also looks good on early viewing. 24 so a bit older.

Real Sociedad win 4-3 on penalties.

Boyle is a definite no to me. If he can’t get a regular game for hibs, that says a lot. I think we need to be targeting a few solid pros aged 24-28 or so, very few project players this summer or the Armstrong/sivert types needed. We’ve got lobban gyamfi frame Kjarten Marshall and bilalovic who I consider young first team players to develop, even lazetic is only 22. Need some more experience. I would give shinnie a 1 year deal, good for the leadership, influence, and a role model to the squad, true club pro.

Linlithgow beat Bonnyrigg 2-1 to clinch spot in play offs v Brora. With league splitting to East and West next season the final ever lowland league title race produced a great title race.

Obligatory “bring back the auld site”

2-2 now with another cracking goal this time by Alvarez for Atletico.

I see the yanks are just using this tournament as an excuse to fleece folk at every turn. Both Boston and New Jersey charging massive mark ups on on transport to stadiums in Foxboro and New Jersey. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/apr/17/new-jersey-world-cup-matches-train-ticket-prices https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cly797p1399o Can see this being a terrible World Cup to attend as a fan.

Been good game so far with Sociedad scoring in first 20 seconds. Atletico equalised with a great strike from Lookman. Sociedad went back in front from penalty spot just on half time.

Moving this thread to here for the next few months for obvious reasons.

scored the winner in a 2-1 victory over raith today.

Spanish Cup Final between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad is on ITV4 at 8pm tonight.

Sounds plausible, I'm running with it.

sorted.

Haven't seen any of the game so can't comment on the quality of football on display. What I would say however is that it is difficult to say that Dunfermline don't deserve their place in the final given the fact that in the last three rounds they have knocked out three higher league clubs without conceding a single goal.

We seem to be going back in time here Process starts on 6th July and end on 10th June P.S. Great work DTA, much appreciated

Hi everyone We are excited to announced that we are upgrading the DonsTalk community to a new version of our forum software this summer! This isn't just a small update; it's a complete overhaul of how our site looks, feels and functions. Our goal with this upgrade is to make the site faster, easier to use on your phones, and more fun to interact with. Here's a quick guide to the biggest changes you'll notice: Native Dark Mode We now have a native Dark Mode built directly into the core of the site. How to use it: You can manually toggle between Light and Dark modes, or set it to "System" so it automatically matches your phone or computer's theme. No more blinding white screen during late-night browsing! The New "TipTap" Posting Editor Writing posts is now smoother and more modern. The new editor is designed to be lightweight and "distraction-free." Slash Commands: Simply type a / to pull up a quick menu of options like lists, quotes, or code blocks. Draggable Media: You can now click and drag your uploaded images or attachments to move them exactly where you want them in your post. Floating Toolbar: On mobile, the editor tools stay right where you need them, making long replies on your phone less frustrating. A Better Mobile Experience The entire site will be rebuilt with a "mobile-first" mindset. Swipe menus: Navigation is now much more intuitive on touchscreens. Faster Loading: The code behind the scenes is much lighter, meaning pages should snap open faster ven on slower mobile connections. Community Experts and Badges We want to highlight people who make DonsTalk great. Expert Status: The system now helps us identify "Community Experts" - members who consistently provide helpful answers and earn "Helpful" votes. New Badges: Keep an eye out for new, high-quality badges appearing on profiles as you participate and reach new milestones! Topic Summaries (for long threads) Ever jump into a 20-page thread and feel lost? The new Topic Summary tool uses a smart algorithm to highlight the most important posts, high-value replies, and "Best Answers," allowing you to get caught up in seconds without scrolling through every single reply. A Note on the Transition Because this is a major "under-the-hood" upgrade, you will notice that the current theme will change. We're trading the theme in for a much more stable, faster, and secure platform that will allow DonsTalk to grow for years to come. Will I need to sign up again? No - your existing username and password will work with the new site. When will the change happen? The process will start on Monday 6 July 2026 and will complete on Friday 10 July 2026. During this period there may be intermittent downtime of the current site. More on the changes We'll be posting more information on the changes nearer the launch date.

There is a mad conspiracy theory that Leicester winning the league was a fix, and that somebody got revenge for it by killing their owner in a helicopter crash.

Interesting, he’s only in his first season in the A league, Nigerian, been around a bit playing in Lucia and Iraq by the looks of it. Not young either, 26. I’d not put him in the same category as milanovic or mcgarry. Maybe we can get a swap deal?? Ship out yengi or milanovic in return??

10 years ago, Leicester City were champions of England. Now, they're one game away from relegation to the third tier. It's a funny old game, Saint.

True, but what’s to say we would have. That draw was about as good as it gets. All the way to the final with absolutely none of the other 4 traditional “big clubs” anywhere to be seen..

Have to say our experience with A league players makes me run a mile from going anywhere near anymore of them tbh…
