Is it a little premature to say that Gretna are in next season'sUEFA Cup? I was reading a thread at Gretna's discussion forum yesterday which says thatHearts have to finish no lower than 2nd in theSPL, so chickens may be being counted... --Arwel (talk)11:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Some of players has links to wrong people (like those 2 FW players one is born in 1926? and was member of US navy?)— Precedingunsigned comment added by87.116.188.142 (talk)21:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to theboilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent withfair use.
Please go tothe image description page and edit it to include afair use rationale. Using one of the templates atWikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

OK, I am well aware of the club's situation and know there's little to no hope, but I think these premature edits saying that they're no longer in existence are not constructive. Would semi-protection be a good move?DrFishcake (talk)12:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They have now resigned from the SFL. Again people are jumping the gun and saying they have closed, which is not the same thing.Jmorrison230582 (talk)12:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, is this article supposed to talking about both the original 1946 version of the club AND the new 2008 version, or is it just meant to address the old one? Right now it looks like a confused mishmash between the two, and a lot of the information about the new club has actually been added to, and then stripped out of the article. Should we perhaps move this article to a new page (i.e.Gretna F.C. (1946)) and keep this page talking purely about the new club, or should this article encompass both clubs? (Bear in mind that they're both called "Gretna F.C.")— Precedingunsigned comment added byDaveJB (talk •contribs)15:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
After finding this quote inThe Scotsman from the current Gretna chairman, which says "...there is no connection with the old club other than the similarity in name" and given the new club has a different name, management, owner and players from the old Gretna, I can't see how the new Gretna can be seen as a continuation of the old one, especially given the precedent set with Scarborough. Therefore I've created a new article,Gretna F.C. 2008Gretna F.C. 2008 and updated this one accordingly. Whether this article should be moved to Gretna F.C. (1946) as suggested above, I'll leave to further discussion.Qwghlm (talk)19:30, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DidRowan Alexander really step down for "health reasons"? If so, what exactly were those reasons, and is there evidence?FloydPink99 (talk)06:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"The Celebrant"? "The Monochrome"? Yes, I can see the list of supposed nicknames in the infobox has been in the article for years, but come on, someone was clearly having a laugh with these! I've removed all but the official nickname of "The Black and Whites" as most of the rest look entirely spurious. The infobox guidelines say only the most common nickname should be used there, in any case.Jellyman (talk)21:19, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
