Topic: Answer me this...
1. Author: BouncyPar Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 09:10 What is something you`ve never really understood about football? What makes sense on a Saturday afternoon, but would be daft any other time? What do you "get" about football, but couldn`t explain it to a non-fan? Stick your "I`ve never really got that" in here. Maybe it`ll be answer, maybe naw. Reply
2. Author: BouncyPar Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 09:12 I`ve never understood the point in announcing match attendance, or why we clap it. Reply
3. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 09:21 Why goalkeepers warm up in the goalmouth? They always blame a dodgy bounce when they make a howler. Why not practise in the areas between the 18-yard box and the touchline? This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply
4. Author: parsmad68 Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 09:50 I’ve never understood why the wee lads and lasses at the kiosks look absolutely frozen yet when kids run aboot ootside in all weather you never see a jacket on and they look perfectly warm. Reply

I think you’ve answered your own question. “Run aboot” Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
6. Author: Bertie Paton Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 10:17 Never understood why folk have to eat at a football match. 3pm is not a meal time. Reply
7. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 10:21 As somebody who has been away from the Motherland for 13 years, I can tell you that the fitbaw Bovril & Bridie cravings are REAL! 😂 Just something special about it! Reply
8. Author: Milos Drizzle Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 10:22 BouncyPar, Sat 14 Feb 09:12 I`ve never understood the point in announcing match attendance, or why we clap it. Even more pointless now that it’s an accountant’s definition of attendance. It’s billy bonkers. This is my signature Reply
9. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 10:22 Why are the floodlights on when they`re not needed? I get it that you can`t switch them on during play but why not switch them on at half-time if there`s enough daylight during the first half? Reply
10. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 10:30 wee eck, Sat 14 Feb 10:22 Why are the floodlights on when they`re not needed? I get it that you can`t switch them on during play but why not switch them on at half-time if there`s enough daylight during the first half? Weather changes during a match sometimes. Might be bright at kick off but then rain comes and dark clouds overhead. In general though, I think tradition was always to put them on a half time at this time of year.

11. Author: BouncyPar Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 11:51 Why do keepers hit the crossbar at the start of the game? It`s the same height it was last week. Reply
12. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 11:58 Why, at any kick off during the match, do I always have the overwhelming urge to shout “Mon The DA” just as the ball is kicked, and have done for years?? ** or Scotland when I’m at the national stadium Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply
13. Author: OzPar Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 12:03 Why did they not build the main stand on the north side of the ground? Then we wouldn`t have the problem of the shadow on the pitch that causes the turf to freeze. Reply
14. Author: JTH123 Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 12:14 Cause that was the railway side of the ground and the other side is the main road? Reply
15. Author: Turps Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 12:22 wee eck, Sat 14 Feb 10:22 Why are the floodlights on when they`re not needed? I get it that you can`t switch them on during play but why not switch them on at half-time if there`s enough daylight during the first half? This has happened in the past. Reply

I get it that you can`t switch them on during play but why not switch them on at half-time if there`s enough daylight during the first half? This has happened in the past. Albion Rovers about 10 or 12 years ago for one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference Reply
17. Author: thebear Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 13:13 Offside, I understand offside, but why allow it to carry on for many seconds, causing great consternation and possible injury, call it straight away Reply
18. Author: P Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 13:29 Obstruction by a defender to shepherd a ball out being acceptable when it’s a foul anywhere else on the park Reply
19. Author: Jeffery Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 14:05 A couple that bug me. 1. Shirt pulling/holding. It`s got worse. 2. Watching the Airdrie v St Johnstone game last night there was a point towards the end (Airdrie chasing the game) where Airdrie were breaking from midfield and getting beyond the St Johnstone midfield. Reece McAlear was done for pace and purposely swiped the boys legs from behind, yellow card given to McAlear. That`s generally called a `professional foul` or the player is said to be `taking one for the team`. I don`t think a yellow card is strong enough? Reply
20. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 14th Feb 2026. 14:31 Why they don`t swap the flood lights with electric bar heaters. Whack them right up for some mood lighting AND thaws the pitch/fans. Reply
