Scottish Football Thread - 2022/23

My dad was born and raised just round the corner in Newmilns.
This result is more akin to Chorlton beating a premier league side like West Ham.

It’s a lovely little giant killing story but it’s an absolute world away from that comparison.

6th tier. West of Scotland premier league. A wee town 10 minutes from me in Kilmarnock.

Owned by John Gall of Browning's bakers so a fair bit of money pumped into the club for the level which they're at, know for a fact some of their players earn good money and they've paid upwards of £10k on certain transfers which is unheard of at that level of football.

Auchinleck Talbot are the biggest and most historical name in their league, Darvel have came from nothing and been completely bankrolled but I don't grudge them their success one bit - great to see.

We had Auchinleck Talbot come here to Preston Athletic in the Scottish cup last season and they were proper bellends, the fans we came across at least. Lobbing bottles, kicking in bus stops, trying to kick off with pensioners, it was like the old firm had come to town

Plus, with all their fans having those extra couple of fingers it really does give them an unfair advantage over the rest.

Seriously though, I don't doubt that. Some real backwards fans amongst the junior supports and Talbot have a bigger support than most, perhaps Pollok from the west being the main exception.

I stumbled across a game at this level (it may have been level 7 even). Ignoring the quality what made me laugh was there was no linesmen. The ref does it all

Much like the English Premier League - for all the fuckin' use some of those linos are they might as well be watching it on telly and waving their flag from their favourite armchair.

£3.70 for one at Rugby Park these days, a hard pass from me. Telling my kid 'no' can be a bit more difficult though...

Slippery slope. When he starts badgering you at home for a quinoa wrap and a matcha smoothie, you’ll only have yourself to blame.

A Glasgow housing scheme up tonight in the Scottish cup against Elgin.
Come on the ‘ Drum.

 

[Gabriel]

Both ties draws at the break. Would be an incredible achievement for either Drumchapel or Linlithgow to progress, maybe even both, but after last night’s shock it probably wouldn’t register with the football seismologists.

It looks like Goodwin has somehow survived the sack for now.
