HawkMan Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Watched some of the Raith v Hamilton game in the Scottish Challenge Cup Final while waiting for the England Ukraine game. Quite a decent game , it was on BBC Alba channel 169 on sky. Enjoyed it despite a mix of English and Gaelic commentary. I think they have some Scottish championship matches on, so I hope to see if Queens Park get promoted, currently they're top. But where will they play if they get promoted? They want to build a stadium at Lesser Hampden of 1,700 or so capacity only. Currently they ground share, will be intriguing to see if they go up and what happens.

I do enjoy the lower scottish league teams on bbc alba and bbc Scotland some great games in old school grounds and good atmosphere. Not so keen on a lot of those artificial surfaces a few use though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommygilf Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Potter and Rodgers going makes it interesting for clubs lining up jobs either in the summer or even now. Potter must be on Spurs' radar. Likewise Leeds have an interesting choice to make on Gracia should we stay up and I would love them to bring in Rodgers. West Ham will be considering Moyes' future too.

DavidM Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Lot of focus on Kane but it should be on Doucoure . He let us down badly . We’ve got no quality but they were scrapping and that game was winnable , then he does that and gets a 3 game ban . Kane did what footballers do . Spurs showed how brittle they were after they scored. Add a little attacking edge to the effort and hopefully we’ll squeak out if it until next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hallucinating Goose Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 One of the funniest things I've ever witnessed at a football game happened tonight at Beverley Town v Harrogate Railway Athletic. Ball goes into the crowd and fans are just doing their duty by holding onto the ball and wasting time. Harrogate keeper loses his mind and jumps into the crowd, tackling a fan and starting a fight. He gets out of the crowd and gets told off by the ref. Once the game restarts the entire crowd start chanting about his weight. He then turns to the fans just behind the goal and starts gobbing off to them, almost starting another fight while the game is going on. A bad tackle goes in and a 22 man brawl ensues, fueled by the craziness that had just played out in the crowd. I've never seen a player lose his mind like that before!

True, 8 or 9 teams cannot realistically win it, or even get into top 6, but the standard is higher than the championship. I've seen a fair amount of championship matches, enjoyed them, but only Burnley and possibly Sheffield United are anywhere the standard of say Leicester or Leeds, or even Bournemouth.

Yes of course, and Liverpool vs Chelsea was atrocious too, but I'm not judging on one game. There's a real good overall standard, lot of good international players right down the league. Certainly higher than the Championship, which was your contention, I'm enjoying the Championship, but Luton, Middlesbrough, Blackburn et al would need major signings if they came up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
