    For clarity though, these are all the games I lied about.

    No just the soccerbase site never accused you if lying don't take it personally because the site you quoted was wrong.
    With regards taking the prize from the top shelf I have a house full of prizes from the top shelf.

    Hahaha, this is contender for daftest post of the year already!

    You're seriously basing your point on a friendly match 15+ years ago?

    If we're gonna go down that route - is this the same Hearts that drew 2-2 with Crawley in pre-season? Or the same Dundee United that lost to Fleetwood in pre-season in the summer? These sides would turn over the entire League Two, despite a combined draw against Crawley and Fleetwood, really? :joy:

    And the same Aberdeen that lost to an amateur team from the Scottish equivalent of the Conference North (6th tier) the other night?

    And these are the so-called best of the rest of the SPL you're talking about here!

    You do realise that most of the teams (other than Celtic and Rangers) in the SPL have a mass collective of failed EFL2 players in their first teams, right?

    I've heard of stubborn folk refusing to admit they're wrong but you are on a whole new level :joy::joy::joy:

    Behave, the standard of the Scottish and Polish leagues you quote is not non league standard. Never has never will be.

    It's a matter of opinion. Aside from the top sides in each of those leagues, the remainder would not be out of place in League Two from a footballing standpoint let's put it that way.

    Ross County, St Mirren, Livingston, Kilmarnock, Motherwell, St Johnstone make up 50% of the SPL. If they were in the English pyramid, where would you have them?

    You said top two or three. I dispute that claim. I agree that the teams you mention are about league 2 standard.

    We lost badly to Chesterfield in pre-season so does that mean the National League is better than League 2? We beat Blackburn last season so are we better than the Championship?

    Yeah, all of that. That's exactly what I was trying to prove.

    We're not better than Chelsea though because that wasn't pre season, or sommat.

    He's non-league standard, mate.

    Stockport have made the same 'mistake' we made by turfing him out because he's not actually League Two standard.

    He's SPL standard simply because he's playing for an SPL team.

    Just because you don't rate him and believe he should be playing lower doesn't actually make it true.

    Totally agree Jon although Northernmonkey can’t see it. Noticed today after 2 games Ollie has made his way to the Well bench.
