@jwatt0389 Used to live in Australia and liked how they worked the split in the league. Bottom teams' season just ended as no relegation. Those still in, team that finished first had 6 point head start. Runners up 3 points. The others on 0. Winner at the end hosted the grand final 1st v 2nd

@Ian1978Jambo @heartsshirts @JamTarts Totally agree. That there is just perfect.

@MidlandScotsman @heartsshirts Made me laugh that. I used to have a Newcastle Utd shirt late 90s it was a weird navy, green and orange thing and it was like wearing a cheese grater!!

@AaronFraser37 @EscociaLibre I started going to matches in the late 90s so I saw Robbo towards the very end of his time with us and only saw him score twice- in a cup game against Cowdenbeath!

@NeilNhendy @TheAthletic Could be mis-remembering this but seem to remember reading it was a cricket club who met on a Wednesday to play football to keep fit during the close season.

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@FBAwayDays I found football in Australia wonderfully odd as the distance massively affected away followings so certain sections of the ground (Perth Glory were my adopted home team) would round on others as though they were the away side!

@rivelin11 @BarnsleyFC @HorshamFC @EmiratesFACup Have a watch of what the Dorking manager had to say about his players after that match... its gold!

@patriciaclegg @TheAthletic It was a parliamentary candidate visiting Dumfries who was giving a public speech who first described Dumfries as 'the Queen of the South' and it stuck.

@BarnsleyFC Transfer policy jotted down on the back of a packet of Lambert & Butler or what??

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@FBAwayDays Been twice. Lost twice. 1-0 each time. Missed the two wins in between! (Barnsley fan).

@Sophia_Nyx Tombstone, but Val Kilmer's performance made that for me so I'd lean towards Aliens as a close second as Paxton got to shine more. But then Apollo 13 was great too... and I loved True Lies too! Trickier question than I'd first thought! Great actor, and a big loss to film.

@jckeysport7 @FRabbits @TheNational Solid selection that. Happy birthday also! Music teacher at my school asked for some staff suggestions to help broaden students' musical experiences. I sent her mine. Her response was simply "you listen to some weird music". 😂

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@dougokane88 That's... some score. Ouch.

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@RealBobMortimer It achieved a great sense of wellbeing for me when I finished it this morning and I remarked as much to the squirrel visiting my garden shortly before the heavens opened. The baby Robins were less receptive to my positive comments but you can't please everyone.

@alex_brooker saw you at Huddersfield comicon today at the ghostbusters display- didn't want to interrupt your day with your little uns, hope you had a good day. My kids loved it!

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@steelemaths That needs framed! What a truly lovely idea! 😀

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@AberdeenFC Once a Red always a Red! Well done Goose, glad your move North has worked out for you.

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@Scott_Watson14 @antclare78 Kozzie was mint!

[Alexander Barclay @AlexanderBarcl1]

@HMFC_1874_ On his highlights reel that was put out when he signed, there were loads of tackles like these. Meaty, whole-hearted and fair.

@OfficialQosFC no Queens match today so it's Barnsley v Cambridge United for us, but Queens not totally unrepresented!
