Plenty of Nothing

TTC Subway Opening, 1954

The first segment of the Toronto subway system opened for business on March 30th, 1954. This subway-train-shaped cake was prepared in celebration of the event. Source.

Morton host Queen's Park. Morton are seventh with 37 points and Queen's Park are eighth with 36 after last night. 40 points is generally regarded as the threshold for safety from relegation but the mark should be higher this year. There could be a lot of Championship clubs packed into the lower forties come May. (See below for a list of unlucky finishers.)

Morton have a win and two draws against QP this season, with one goal scored versus Queen's zero. Queen's Park have not defeated Morton since they came up from League One, and in fact have not defeated Morton since 1962.

During Morton's winning run I said I thought they were due for another losing streak followed by another winning streak. This is definitely the losing streak: five in a row so far.

[Morton win 2 - 0 on goals by Broadfoot and Muirhead.]

[Falkirk have won League One and will play in the Championship next season.]

Lübecker Totentanz by Bernt Notke

Bernt Notke installed his Danse Macabre in Lübeck Cathedral around 1463. Here it is in situ in a black and white photo taken before the RAF destroyed the place on Palm Sunday in 1943. You can see the entire painting laid out flat here. Notke also did a Danse Macabre for St Nicholas' Church in Tallinn, Estonia. That one survives, in living colour.

Fife Flyers host Belfast Giants. Belfast are 3rd with two weeks to go in the regular season. Fife are 8th.

Belfast Giants started out in the year 2000. Their rink in the Titanic Quarter seats 11,000. Their most famous alumnus is Theo Fleury who played for them in 2005-06. They've won the regular season seven times, the playoffs three times, and the Challenge Cup five times. Last season they won the EIHL triple.

Kohei Sato has played for the University of New Hampshire, and JoKP and KeuPa of the Finnish Mestis. He's the only Japanese player in the EIHL.

Carrickfergus

Dunfermline Athletic visit Cappielow. Morton are fifth with 37 points, Dunfermline sixth with 35. The Pars have won two of three Morton matches so far this season, but the last one went Morton's way by a score of 5 - 0.

This time last year Morton were fifth with 42 points.

The attendance figure for the Morton/Hearts Scottish Cup semi-final has not been published yet.

Edinburgh City are the first club to be relegated this year, unless you count Rosyth.

[Morton 0 - 1 Dunfermline.]

The other Championship matches:

Arbroath (10th) [0 - 1] Partick Thistle (3rd)

Ayr United (7th) [1 - 2] Queen's Park (8th)

Dundee United (1st) [1 - 1] Inverness CT (9th)

Raith Rovers vs Airdrieonians (postponed)

The Challenge Cup final is tomorrow.

Airdrieonians [2 - 1] The New Saints

Airdrie got here by beating Stirling University, Rangers B, Morton and Raith Rovers. The New Saints defeated Hibs B, East Fife, Arbroath and Falkirk.

It has almost always taken five games to win the Challenge Cup, but thanks to random byes through the first round Stenhousemuir were able to win it in four in 1995-96, and Dundee won it in four in 1990-91 and 2009-10. The expanded format introduced in 2016 meant that Ross County needed six matches to win it in 2018-19. Conceivably a Highland or Lowland League club could win it in seven but that has yet to transpire.

Other matches:

Cobh Ramblers 1 - 2 UCD (yesterday)

Formartine United [1 - 4] Banks o' Dee

Linlithgow Rose [1 - 2] Bo'ness United

Largs Thistle [1 - 0] Kirkintilloch Rob Roy

Carrick Rangers vs Linfield [postponed]

The NIFL Premiership goes to a split season after this match. Carrick will be in the bottom six.

Carrick Rangers won the Irish Cup in 1976, earning a place in the next Cup Winners' Cup where they beat Aris of Luxembourg before losing to Southampton.
