Todays other fitba.

All we need is a goalscorer......or two.
Definitely need to bin Dykes and Adams. The Beeb did an article about all the Scottish strikers that could potentially go to the WC, and that pair scored the lowest on every metric (goals, assists, minutes per goal etc). Bowie scored quite high over the whole season. Ross Stewart, McBurnie, and Tommy Teefal of the Gunts scored the highest. The first 2 Clarke probably won't even have on the plane.

There are worse things football folk can do than drug dealing in Lanarkshire😯.
I've definitely been to Maldon. Maybe scouting a cup opponent or watching a player when I was involved in semi-pro stuff in London🤔.
I mind them being just Maldon FC, being at a very low level and being a bus journey & a fair walk from the nearest rail station. Not quite Forfar, but same ballpark. Lots of shite-holes in Saaaahf Essicks were like that. I imagined they all drove Ford Cortinas & had no need of trains.
Cannae mind exactly where Maldon is, but it's deepest Saaaahf Essicks and I'd be confident Reform swept yesterday's elections. Voting was supposed to be in the clubhouse, but the police were turning it over and a polling station had to be arranged elsewhere😂.
Very odd choice of abode for a flamboyant, elderly, gay businessman and his pet miniature poodle.
 
This, from a Facebook fans' page.
They've just won their division to get promotion to the Isthmian Premier. Been getting 1,000+ fans for recent games, in a tight title race, taking their average over 900 for the season. As I say, they were in "twa 'n' a dug" territory for gates when I was l there, I'd guess at Essex County League Division 2 level.

ITV had just wrapped a 6-part documentary, Wrexham style, due to be screened imminently. It was/is called "Up the Jammers!"😆 (Insert soap / showers / Big Bubba joke here)

"So let's talk Maldon & Tiptree shall we? They're hardly the first club in Essex to be ran by idiots.
They've got a "board" of one Director, who seems to be the son of the now charged father and owner. In a very very strange family set up, where said father is in a relationship with his daughters ex boyfriend, both of which are now charged and remanded ! Oh yes very normal it would seem.
He was banned from running any company for eight years in 2010, but was still allowed to stroll into Maldon & Tiptree with his money laundering empire.
Why no statement from the Club as yet? Because the only person now "in charge" can't speak to his crook and very dysfunctional Daddy can he, that's why, so it is totally rudderless.
I'd be keen to hear from any Maldon & Tiptree supporters, were serious concerns really not raised about the way the Club was being run before any of this? Were you not concerned about having only one Director who is the son of an owner? And the obvious lack of accountability that this brings?
Let Maldon and Tiptree FC be a sad, tragic example of why you should never operate a Non league club in this way."

"Your father is your brother,
Your sister is your mother,
You like to shag each other
In the Essex family."

Could easily happen in Ayrshire, though maybe without the gay bit.
 
Lichties 0, Pars 0.
Big Aaron Muirhead had a late penalty kick saved by the much bigger Oxborough laddie in goals for Pars.
With some momentum, they'd get 8,000 in the Premiership if they were on the fringes of the top six. More than Killie & St.Mirren have pulled in their recent European qualification seasons.
 
The Arbroath v Dunfermline game last night was dire.
Had 0-0 written all over it from the start, and Arbroath even missed a penalty in the last minute which would have taken it to extra time.

Worst game of football I've watched since we played the Pars. The dodgers will take 6 off them in the cup final.
