Why the Society's Fan Ownership Festival is being held in Glasgow and not in the Motherwell area? Surely it should be supporting the local business community. Seems a bit wierd. It would also cut down on travelling for folks who want to go along.

Not yet but it's in the post with your email reply

I would suggest emailing them but seeing as I am still waiting on a reply to my email 5 weeks ago I dont fancy your chances

You need a holiday mate 😉

Binks knows hes not good enough to get in the England squad...its people like Scott McTominay that you really need to tip your hat to, as he decided when very young and was playing for Man Utd

But in Angus Gunn’s case he had represented England at youth level all the way up to u-21 and was even called up to the senior squad although did not get any game time. It was only when it became clear that he was far too far down the pecking order for England that he decided to “see sense” as you put it. That makes a mockery of the whole thing. He chose to play for Scotland because he is not good enough to play for England, it is as simple as that. And from what I have seen he’s not all that great for Scotland either.

Update for the week to 4 October. The site is still at 209 clubs, and citations are now at 19,684, about a thousand of them added this week. No new clubs; the week went on checking what's already there against the papers of the day. Corrections St Johnstone's club historian, Alastair Blair, contacted us with a number of corrections which proved invaluable. The club was formed at a meeting on 24 February 1885, not in 1884, and our map had the Recreation Grounds 2.4km away in a housing estate, copied from a wrong Wikipedia infobox. Checking his letter against the papers turned up more of our own mistakes, now fixed: the Muirton Park opener on Christmas Day 1924 was 2-1 to Saints, Sanderson both; the 1969 League Cup final crowd was 73,067; and it's Kenny Deuchar, not Kevin. His and Brian Doyle's books are now cited, with their permission. Thanks to both. That prompted a check of every ground on the map against the old OS maps. Twelve were in the wrong place and have moved, including Kilmarnock's Holm Quarry, the first Celtic Park and Rangers' Fleshers' Haugh. Rechecked against the papers Dundee United: 27 chapters, about 225 new citations. The 1980 League Cup final goals were Dodds two and Sturrock one; the 1982-83 ninety goals was a record shared that season with Celtic; and the Livingston play-off semi was lost 2-3 at home and drawn 1-1 away. Dundee: the modern chapters, about 650 new citations. The 2023 Championship was won 5-3 at Ochilview, where Queen's Park were playing their home games, and the 2012 SPL vote on the Rangers newco was "overwhelming" in the Belfast Telegraph's report, not unanimous. Bellshill Athletic's junior years, from the Bellshill Speaker and others: the protested 1913 semi-final against Newton Villa, the 1913-14 Scottish Junior Cup tie with Mossend Hibs that ran to four games, and the 1923 Glasgow Cup final at Firhill on 26 May, about 8,000 there. The SFA Annuals are now cited for Morton's Garvel Park, Dundee's Carolina Port and Raith's Stark's Park. Crests Deveronvale and Annan Athletic have given permission, and their badges are on their pages. Thanks to both clubs. Next week the Premiership re-check carries on, Falkirk next. As ever, if you spot something wrong, the corrections page is there and I fix things in public. https://scottishfootballhistory.scot

International breaks have got a lot to answer for.

Must say I’m missing the SPL - to have almost 3 weeks off for this utter tosh is not enjoyable . feels like we crammed in a stupid amount of games , didn’t get a full pre season and then put the breaks on for weeks for a glorified set of friendlies

I am working on new material........watch this space 🤣🤣 Ps. Grizzly given written warning by admin 🤣🤣
