Ladies and gentlemen, the Ninth Toppers falklandal1 north stander sb1876 Third Lanark Third Lanark AlexForsythFan AlexForsythFan Erty13 Fawlty Towers scotty lady-isobel-barnett jagaloon willjag Jaggernaut BowenBoys Awaiting a response from Anna to see what players are available. 55 members have raised £1350 for the club. Considering that we haven't won a meaningful game since we started pledging money, it shows great commitment to the club. You should be proud of that. Thank you all once again.

Much appreciated Alan. Thanks.

Thank you Jaggernaut. Our ninth top. Completes the Nomads/wearethistle starting 11. I've run out of superlatives. A big well done and thank you to all 55 of you.

Had a pledge by PM. Thank you Willjag. 1

Good man.

jagaloon sorry, misunderstanding. We already have Declan in our team. Don't know who we will sponsor as our no.9. But I'll take the tenner anyway Thanks. 2

I have decided to run the Prediction League competitions throughout the season rather than try to do them all at once at the end. Trying to organise 8 competitions at once would be a nightmare. The competition for Declan McDaid's top will begin with the fixtures due to be played on 3 October. I will open a new thread for it later this week. Now, to more pressing matters, time for some big red numbers. Please can we put this to bed today? Thank you all for your help thus far. 3

With just 3 pledges needed for the ninth top, I'm sure we will make it. Let's do it today guys/gals so I can phone the club tomorrow with some Monday morning happy news. Thanks.

If any of the three had gone in, I would have put them in the 'very good goal' category. I'll stick with unlucky if it's alright with you.

Thank you lady-isobel-barnett. That leaves just three opportunities to pit your wits against your fellow fans in the exciting Prediction League competitions. Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Does 'one born every minute' fall into you category of talking like a tosspot, Tricky? Or 'talking like a tosspot'?

Thank you scotty. Only four more needed.

Thanks Tricky.

The Dundee fans were very supportive.

Much obliged Fawlty Towers. Wasn't going to bother with this tonight given the general mood. But you're right, well said. Onwards and upwards Jags. I want to phone this in to club on Monday morning. Show them our support. Five more pledges for the ninth top. Let's get this done and dusted.

Can't disagree with that. I had to buy two.

As usual.

If anybody knows how to paste formatted text from Excel, please let me know!

Thank you Erty13. Just 6 more needed.

Welcome AlexForsythFan and thank you. Over half way to our target.

Oh, missed a chance for a plug there. Nip over to the Sponsorship thread and chuck in a tenner. Thanks

Not sure how you linked failure to post on a match day thread to not giving a fck about being in the top league. We have been on a poor run but I'm sure most of the people on here who usually go to matches will be there today. Having already raised £1200 for the club in player sponsorship, people are still pledging money to the club they love. One good result and the feel good factor will be back, it's human nature. Yes we're a bit low at the moment but let's not talk it down.

Thanks again sb1876 and welcome Third Lanark. I will be in touch with payment details when we have reached our target.

As throws in are fairly ineffectual, players don't mind kicking the ball out. It really slows the game down. Replace shys with indirect free kicks.
