Blogging on the move right now but want to pass comment on one part of the statement by Aberdeen chairman, Stewart Milne. As he confirmed his club would place the fifth and decisive vote against Sevco being allowed access to the SPL next season he said:
“Reorganisation of the game is a priority and is something we have been actively involved in for a long time, but it is not something that should be rushed through just to deal specifically with one club.
“As we have indicated there are a number of other areas that we feel need to be addressed openly in the coming period if Scottish football fans are to feel that their views have been properly taken into account.”
Those well-paid executives who work for us and on Friday met to discuss a way to reorganise the league structure in the next couple of weeks should pay heed. As Mr Milne suggests, we are the game, not you.

So, as far as voting goes, the Americans have Super Tuesday, but we have Super Monday.
Now all we need is for thems to fail to get sorted out for the new season, and the best the newco can hope for is being accepted back into Div 3 of the SFL for the start of 2013 – 2014 season, possibly called Govan Hibernians or summit like that!

Defo no Gers SPL next season. Will they be in position to even apply for SFL? Increasingly likely year out minimum. Loads more to come out.
Has “Plug” and the “Milky Bear Kid” been snapped up byWigan and Real Madrid yet?

Aye….and that hellacious Tory mob of braying donkeys want to make things even worse.
Evil incarnate.
Don’t believe me? Just wait til this time next year and ‘Universal Credit’ comes into force. It’s already been passed into law. Very scary for a LOT of people.
This IS eugenics.
Has Quonno missed something? Have any of those club chairmen talking a good game actually cast a vote to exclude THEM from the SPL. And have any of them, assuming that they keep their word next Wednesday, indicated exactly which league THEY will be excluded to?
Why don’t the zombies just play Linfield every week, till they get into the way of things.

Home tomorrow mate,just said to wife ,I could go another couple of weeks,apartment superb.
Hmmmm…..interesting from Delahunt.
Just to confirm no variety/flavour/mode/make/version of Hun will be playing professional football in Scotland next season.
Simple
@killiefanpage: Johnston to vote against newco is the latest
Apparently 1500 online consultations have been emailed saying no to newco since release at 9am
The Proclaimers should be dusting off Letter From America, changing the lyrics slightly, and re-release it = instant no 1 hit due to all 11 SPL clubs’ fans buying it!

VP-Always the same mate,how did you get your armchair through check in?
MWD-As I thought mate,no one will now side with the ex huns,couldn’t handle our bhoycott.Vote will be 11-1.
If ever a mob deserve their club lying in tatters it is the huns.
Apparently they didn’t cheat and are not receiving the decisions of sporting integrity but are the victims of Hatred, Jealousy and Self Interest.
Delusional and arrogant to the end…
Just about to settle down to a bottle of birthday Chablis – best present today from ICT, Aberdeen and St Johnstone
Im afaraid that’s delahunt’s MO
Always implying he knows more than he does.

That is brilliant. I laughed long and laughed loud. Thing is noone here gets it and I feel so alone in my mirth.
———————————————————————————————————–sparkleghirl,
A lady after my own heart. I don’t think any other bugger commented on it after testing my brain cells to the limit. It’s not as though there was any news to divert us today. Bless you
Quonno why do you type in the third person the way Amalose used to speak about himself.?
It will be up to the fans of SFL clubs what division this new club gets into, if any. The revolution will not be televised, the revolution will be LIVE.
Celtic are probably being better advised not to make any statements at this stage.
Any NO to Newco comment from Celtic right now, would be met with “Celtic puts the BOOT into Rangers” diatribe from the MSM and Orcdome. They would blame Celtic, Celtic are wisely not giving them the chance.
The Rats are cornered, nowhere to go, watch your backs.
Speaking in the Third Person, Removed From Reality
By Awe Naw No Annoni Oan Anaw Noo III
Published: November 1, 2005
Almost from the moment he walked into my office, something bothered me about my 18-year-old patient, Quonno, sent to see me by his parents after they found marijuana and steroids and wank mags in his bedroom.
He was small and frail, with tousled, dirty-blonde greasy hair, outfitted in a faded T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Leo Sayer” distressed jeans made to look threadbare at midthigh and along the edges of the pockets and a 70’s retro leather choker with a few clay beads on it.
A shiny silver bolt pierced his left brow. He shook my hand and introduced himself with a smile, then sat down in the suede armchair opposite me, his legs outstretched, his ankles crossed.
“So tell me what’s going on,” I said.
“I’m in a serious jam, man,” he said. “I think I need rehab to get my life back. You know?”
He didn’t sound upset about it.
“What have you lost?” I asked him.
“Got two weeks?” He chuckled.
“I’m listening.”
“I don’t know if I ought to head to rehab or really go deep into analysis with you or what,” he said. “Or maybe we just go the Prozac route.”
“You think you’re depressed?” I asked.
“Hard to say.”
He shrugged. “I’m kind of like the quiet guy who goes to the gym, you know, keeps to himself, maybe hooks up with a girl here and there, but doesn’t make a big deal of it. He’s, like, sort of on the outside looking in, never letting anything get him too down.”
Quonno’s lapse into the third person – “He’s … on the outside, looking in” – helped me realize what had disturbed me about him from the start apart from his please slap me coupon.
He seemed fake, as if playing a role. He showed no anxiety or sadness or anger. He spoke in clichés. I’m in a … jam. I need … to get my life back. Got two weeks?
His hair looked intentionally messy. Everything about him, down to his carefully chosen, probably pricey, “worn out” clothing felt scripted.
I have treated several other teenagers this year who display a similar kind of profound detachment from self.
It is a kind of identity disorder I believe has its roots in a society that has drifted free from reality and is creating adolescents (and, I would venture, people of many ages) who are at most participant-observers in their own lives, with little genuine emotion – like actors playing themselves.
The signs and symptoms of this identity disorder are everywhere. Teenagers are embracing lies on a wholesale (and retail) scale.
They not only buy clothing made to look old when it is new, but they buy T-shirts emblazoned with logos from bars and bait shops and resorts they have never visited, and that sometimes don’t exist at all.
More and more, they use illicit substances and alcohol to keep their genuine feelings at bay. They use steroids (and plastic surgery) to alter their appearances and athletic abilities. Their self-esteem floats ever higher, untethered even when their academic performance and family relationships and prospects for the future sink to new lows.
They pierce themselves and tattoo themselves and have sex more and earlier, in what I see as desperate efforts to anchor themselves to some sort of reality – the reality of the flesh.
If a teenager can feel a steel bolt through her tongue move whenever she speaks, at least she knows she inhabits her own body, even if she doubts her own soul.
If she can use low-cut jeans or a glimpse of thong underwear to attract glances from boys around her, at least she knows she occupies space and time at the center of their attention.
The soil for this detachment from self has been sown for decades, partly by psychiatry itself.
By not opposing vigorously enough the dangerous myth that psychoactive medications are a complete answer to depression and anxiety, we have allowed the idea to take root that we need not heed our emotions as evidence of life crises with real and crucial meaning, that we should turn off our inner voices and “listen to Prozac,” instead.
The growth of technology has cleaved us from the reality of self, as well. We say that we are “going” places on the Internet without ever leaving the room.
In elaborate Internet-based games, people pay thousands of dollars to own “real estate” that isn’t real at all.
We watch newscasters (who increasingly could double as models or comedians) report on terrible tragedies, then shift gears and joke about the weather or a baseball game. And we learn to mirror them, to respond to our own losses like channels we can change.
We can wage wars that kill tens of thousands of people with “smart” bombs. But we see little, if any, blood. And we can count the dead between episodes of our favorite sitcoms.
We sit still for a cloudy sense of whether our president was elected to his first term. Then the president in the television drama “West Wing” delivers a political statement about the war in Iraq, and people actually pay attention.
A senator appears as himself in the film “Traffic,” in which Michael Douglas is the nation’s drug czar. Unless Mr. Douglas really is …
The trouble with all this is that the truth always wins. Reality will not be frustrated forever.
You have to pay back emotional debt, like the national debt, with interest. A crushing major depression lies in wait for Quonno, if I fail to help him face whatever demons from the past drove him away from reality, to drugs.
Ever-increasing rates of substance abuse and attention-deficit disorder and depression lie in wait for adolescents emerging into adulthood. And, in not many decades, our nation’s sense of itself will, inescapably, depend on theirs.
HAil Hail
I’m raising a glass of Irn Bru to the stupidity of Jabba, Young, Dodds, Goram, Hately and others who confidently predicted the ex club would be in the SPL!
watchtheadvertCSC
Well at least if they go to div 3 they’ll be playing at Hampden next season – more or lesser
Does this mean we don’t need to boycott away grounds now??!!
Green wont see out the week
Wishart Fraser, eh!
When exactly did he stop playin’ for thems again?
HHH.
HT-I would still like to see sanctions of some sort against Kilmarnock.
Do you think that Charlie has reached the, what the friggin hell am I doing , moment yet
Very big decision for Fraser Forster to make now its been confirmed that domestically atleast – he will be a passenger in most games.
Personally if I were him – id go for the Champs League exposure then re-assess just how good / bad the unknown SPL is panning out come January.
I think we are going to be paying (wages) for over hyping him and talking him up too much in our over zealous tactic at publicly talking about how much we wanted to keep him.
big Wanyama is a disappointment.
He is the first Kenyan to play in the UK and we are the first club to have gone to Kenya and affiliate ourselves no less with Kibera Celtic, a true pheonix from the ashes story arising from the slums of one of their ghettos – yet within a year, this 20 year old is already making assumptions about grass being greener elsewhere.
I thought there might have been more of an emotional attachment or bond between us, which obviously there is not – if I am wrong then I would be presuming Hooper, Izaguirre and Kayal would all be circulating stories via agents as well as through themselves of the same ilk.
Maybe its for a new contract.
Who knows.
I hope the big guy is with us next season, because I think in the god awful shadows of this SPL we are imprisoned in – the big Vic in a defensive becoming defensive midfielder is the exact type of fluidity we need, as opposed to two guys who can play centre half and centre half alone.
