Where I grew up the majority were SEVCO fans with the Tic coming in a comfortable second. The consensus seemed to be that if you didn't follow either then the Tic were the lesser of 2 evils as the Sectarian element seemed to be seriously watered down for them. The same could not be said for a large chunk of the SEVCO lot. Several Tic fans I knew moved to Glasgow for Uni and within a matter of weeks had denounced them and thrown their support behind either Ross County or Inverness Caley. One even told me a couple of weeks seeing with the full-on 'horrible' side of the green and white had made him physically sick and regretul for ever saying they followed them. On the SEVCO side however I don't know of a single one who did the same thing after moving to Glasgow.

In the real world even useful fuckers get the bullet and a minimum amount to fuck off (As anyone who has experienced statutory redundancy pay will know) Whatever muppet brought about the rules behind the Bosman rulling really did a number on the teams. Seems the only way you can get sacked and get nothing is if you commit a criminal offence.

Supposedly there might not be time to get all the paperwork stamped etc but if it looks like its goer I reckon the EFL will give them a further extension past Tuesday at 5pm However their local rivals Bolton have now been told they also have until Tuesday at 5pm to get their sale sorted out or be kicked out of the league. 2 teams 12 miles apart (stadium wise) in the same division potentially going under on the same day.

McInnes may be comfortable but seems the players seem to have set up in a luxury spa and have no intention of leaving.

Bury's owner claiming the club has now been sold. Have until midnight to get that confirmed and to get the EFL to agree to it

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49449628 i wonder if they will ask for 3000 volunteers or if 800 of those will just happen to be Polish supporters?

Bolton postponed their home game with Doncaster tomorrow night citing player welfare concerns because they have been playing their Youth team while they try to survive their financial issues. Slight issue is they did it about 330 this afternoon and annouced it on social media but apparenlty did not contact Doncaster or the EFL. English football is so professional

Looks like a laugh. Talk of Disney 'having issues' with it being released given it was made by Fox (now owned by the mouse)

ive got it

Sol Campbell left Macclesfield during the week after 10months in charge. Seems they are in the shit financially with players threatening boycotts over unpaid wages and ex players now applying for a winding up order to get their money.

Found this little list after seeing Macclesfield town have been hit with another winding up petition, and the shit that is currently going on with Bury FC. The latter have 9 days to get their finances sorted or be expelled from the entire football league. They actually won promotion last season but have had all of their games postponed so far this season. https://yellowsforum.co.uk/threads/winding-up-petitions-lists-in-the-football-league-and-beyond.1949/ The media likes to focus on the EPL's spending power and how much money it supposedly makes around the world however drop out of it and you can find yourself in a completley different story. Reminds me of the spiel the Edinburgh Ghost tours like to spin about once you were outside the city walls you were basically on your own and the police etc wouldnt give a fuck should you go missing.

VAR Fuck sake this is gonna take some getting used to. Perhaps it would have seen a penalty awarded at Paisley today (still havent seen any TV pics) but the West Ham vs Man city, and Wolves vs Leicester games show the way things are going. Mind you given the rule about substitutes leaving the pitch from the closest point seems to have been kicked into touch already will it be the case VAR is footballs equivalent of 3D films & TV?

Got my annual quota of watching Dons games in person over early this season. had a bad feeling when it was announced 3 players were making their debut for Saints. Neil Mccan actually said the Dons dominated as if St Mirren were camped on their goal line with their Goalie getting a man of the season award. Every single fucking 'attack' (if you can call it that) started with Considine, McKenna taking multiple passes across the back line before suffering nose bleeds when they got near halfway and passing it back. St Mirren sat back, man marked and just waited for the misplaced pass or the slip. The goal was a defensive fuck up and moments later they got clear again and there were 4 st mirren attacking players in the box against 2 defenders which foutunately resulted in a free kick. McKenna had a great last ditch tackle (One rare moment of entertainment) but could and probably should have been 3-0 by halftime. St Mirren goalie had probably the easiest game he could have had in such conditions. After the supposed handball not being awarded (Never saw it as on the other side of the stand from the incident) for me the players seemed resigned to losing and only a few minutes later 3 passes cut the dons open and how the fuck it wasnt 2-0 only the Saints striker will know. The insult was bringing Wilson on just before the injury time went up on the board. Fuck all time for him to make an impact and as I see it showed McInnes had accepted defeat by the 80th minute and was either hoping a miracle would happen or couldn't even be bothered to play for a point at all costs. Yes McGinn was unlucky but that would have been daylight robbery.

Pissing Rain: Check 0 - 0 or 0-1: TBC

Personally Ive been waiting for Kilmarnock's relegation since 1995.

Im going so it will end up 0-0 or a 1-0 defeat in the pissing rain

Perhaps it should be changed to 'it's annoying how many people seem to be OF fans'

Tierney Offski

Andrew Considine

Robbie Winters vs Arabs at Tannadice 2000 (5-3) Robbie Winters vs Dunfermline at Pittodrie 1999 (3-1 in the sun)

oh for fuck sake

So thats two mass shootings in 2 seperate states in the space of 24hrs and the 3rd in a week Gillroy, California - 4 Dead (including shooter), 15 Injured El Paso, Texas - 20 Dead, 26 injured (Shooter arrested) Dayton Ohio - 10 Dead so far (including shooter), 16 injured so far. Democrats calling for Gun control legistlation however the response from Texas Suspect not being able to get hold of a gun would probably not have stopped the attack......

St Johnstone off to a flyer I see
