Dunfermline have sold over 9,000 tickets for their game against Falkirk tonight.

That's a fantastic crowd for League One.

And we can generate extra income from sales of 6 fingered gloves to the visitors.

We get decent crowds against them most times anyway but it being a top of table old fashioned 6 pointer has peaked the interest.

Will be heading up myself.

Think it was well over 9000 when everyone was in. East End Park was bouncing!

Two close range scrapers but against the lizard folks, we'll take that.

Mighty Pars march on, 8 points clear.

Fair play to Scottish referees for single-handedly keeping the season alive.

Rangers given a penalty that was nowhere near handball, then let off with a blatant one where McGregor clearly hauls down the Killie player. Both decisions incorrect resulting in a two goal swing in a game they won by 2 goals.

Meanwhile Rangers still the only team in the SPFL not to concede a penalty this season, thanks to a number of "honest mistakes". And to think some people said VAR would solve this issue.

Same as it ever was. Depressingly.

Really surprised at that myself

It's because there are Champions League games on tonight. They are not supposed to show games at the same time, however they have done so regularly with EPL games. There is a financial penalty they need to pay, they obviously deem it's worth paying that for EPL games but not for SPFL games.

Could it be, I don't know, that they are not allowed to show top division games but second tier and below are okay as they are not deemed to conflict?
