It might look better 'in the flesh' but, no, I don't like it. Judging by the expressions on the players faces that don't care much for it either

Nice looking shirt. It really is a shame that there isn't an option to buy without the sponsor logo.

I used to rely on Soccerbase dot com for all my stats but, at the moment, there are no Scottish football lists on there. Ok if you're Welsh though or anywhere else. Maybe they're having an update or something.
Soccerbase dot com now up to speed(ish) with Scottish football. This will help with my retention of the NPL Championship

I don't have Viaplay and never will. Ditched Sky (all channels) and BT Sport ages ago. My live football fix is wholly dependent on free view via BBC, ITV or theft.

Can't believe it's all kicking off again in a couple of weeks. Can someone slow the clock down a bit please? Looking forward to the challenge of retaining my title.

After the debacle of the farcical and rightly withdrawn Conference League proposal (as an aside I’m not aware that Caley Thistle ever stated their view on it), Rangers have spat the dummy out and withdrawn their colts from the Lowland League:
Brilliant. Hope the others follow suit. IMHO Colts should never have been allowed in anyway.

Dumbarton and Bonnyrigg would be new grounds for me. Was hoping at least one of them would be a possible Sat fixture but....naa.

Well done Gringo!! Knew I'd blown it on Saturday.....lol
Thanks for all your hard work over season. It's much appreciated in the Macdonald household
Someone had to reel you lot in
Well played the Macdonald clan 
A great battle all season but you were running away with it a one point. You also missed a week which was crucial in the end.
-
My thanks to you all for playing the NPL this season. It's been one of the closest in NPL history.
My commiserations to old caley girl in losing out in the final few weeks. She had been in top spot for 40 games hitting number in game 7. Former champion CaleyCalum put up a good fight to retain his title but couldn't quite make the finish line.
Meanwhile, I can now take a few weeks off before it all starts again for, what could be, my final season of doing the NPL.
Thank you all for playing.

Review for game 49 - Final
So, it wasn’t to be a cup winning performance, but hey, what a go we had. Our goal wrecked my voice for a couple of days. Despite the result I enjoyed the day and the atmosphere was nothing like I’ve ever heard before...the noise..wow. Well played ICT and the fans. I really hope they continue to follow ICT next season...
Anyway...on to the NPL and the announcement of the champion for 2022/23..
There were no maximums in any section for this game.
