thought i'd make a thread for the sfl, covering all the leagues. spl has one, so i figured why not, right? not as many sfl fans on here anyway, so we might as well just have one thread for all 3 leagues.:)

Good thinking - even though I may be an American Celtic fan, I am very interested in the doings on with the rest of Scottish football. Unfortunately there is never any video, or even audio, coverage of non-SPL matches. :(
My favorite non-SPL team is Fort William! :D In the SFL, if I had to pick a favorite, I would say Stranraer. I'm a sucker for geographical extremes. And the town is a cool combination between being a quiet town (at least from what I understand) and one that has a lot of traffic through it to and from Northern Ireland. And it really is amazing how much Stranraer FC bounces up and down the SFL ranks (2008-09 will be its seventh in a row playing in a different division than the year before).

Nah, the joke's still on them.:D
If they can become the first non-league side ever to knock us out the cup, fair enough, but until then.........

My mate has been a season ticket holder at Airdrie for years they have assured me that there is nothing surer than the diamonds getting relegated this year.

morton beat carlton 9-0 in the renfrewshire cup semi final yesterday. this comes after some less than impressive friendly results.
morton also played rangers in a closed door friendly today, 3-1 rangers.

Are carlton a full time side? Both those matches show the hugh gaps between talent and skill lvl in Scottish football.
