Tomorrow’s Annual General Meeting of the Scottish Premier League is set to be the third great football meeting in the last two weeks. The Prophet of Armageddon, chief executive Neil Doncaster, will face his shareholders and either have to declare he was being truthful when he told them, and Scottish Football League clubs, the SPL would be unable to fulfil their contractual obligations if Sevco were denied a place in the First Division, or that this was a cunning ruse designed to manipulate clubs and fans alike.
Doncaster was surely encouraged by some in the SPL to adopt his confrontational stance but support from SPL clubs was certainly not universal. No representatives from Celtic participated in any meetings or conversations regarding the contents of the presentation made to SFL clubs, nor was the club informed or consulted on it.
Well done to the Aberdeen fans who kicked off the Sell-out Saturday initiative. They hope to sell-out Pittodrie for their 11 August game and want to as many fans as possible to buy season tickets. The idea has been picked up by clubs throughout the league.
I get the feeling that if supporters groups got together we could use this unique moment, when camaraderie among fans coincided with unparalleled fan power over the clubs, to define a framework for the game we wanted, not something a dreamt up by a Norfolk MBA.
Even if we couldn’t get every fan group pulling in the same direction, a few productive bilateral relationships is all it takes to establish an powerful pressure group.

Poster on twitter claiming from a source inside CP that we’ll be wearing white socks in competitive games.
If that’s the case then why wear the Black socks at all?

***********************************************
My feeling is that we should wear much more than socks when we’re playing……
sorry but I hid tae :¬)

Get rid of the lot of them, put Longmuir in charge of the SFA

Senor Pablo Diablo-CL Qualifier in a couple of weeks,I know it’s pre-season but we have been found out against very weak teams before.Murphy ffs.
It’s what the feet do that are inside the socks that really matters.
We’ll be playing in black tops this coming season.
Personally I’m a HOOPS man.

=========================
I’d keep the black socks but put a red band round the top. Then dismiss the outrage from ‘them’ by claiming Goram-esque it’s a tribute to Third Lanark.
Bummer Broon, Charlie Miller and the Two Goalies at the top table. Like a team entering Universally Challenged.

I thought Broony was on first half???
HH
!!Bada Bing!!
In a game like this the attitude is different, players will be more concerned with getting their fitness up and avoiding injury than recording a meaningless victory and that’s fine by me.
I dont know if its breaking the blog rules as I’m not supplying a linky bhoy or anything, but I subscribe to livesportstreams dot com and its cheap as chips compared to the robbing ye blind ye know whit dot com, I can watch it on the PC or my apple tv box.

We might get a penalty.
He’s no bad at them.
Their no 10 is a bit of a nuisance…
Paul , regarding the closer links with other fans groups to give a greater say to supporters , do you think it would be possible to get a fans group / rep onto a new Scottish Football Committee to run the game instead of the deadbeats we have at present.
This would allow supporters to push for standing areas / better facilities / cheaper season tickets – individual tickets etc.
Any opinions welcome .

It’s the second game of our pre season prep!
It’s about getting everyone’s fitness up to a level necessary to take us into the new season on a competitive level.
Don’t panic Captain Mainwaring!?
Good Celtic crowd there. Probably have more away fans there than ibrox will see for the whole of next season.
Makes you wonder how the huns will manage to ‘thrive’ when they need a Million a month to just run ibrox.
What’s the betting we’ll be drawn against Sevco in at least one of the cups this season?
Forrest looks like hes in trouble here!!!
HH
Philbhoy-It’s good to be gabbin about the fitba furra change HH.
AsonofDan
How’s their pre season going, now you’ve mentioned thems?
Anyone elses Chapel giving away free Olympic football tickets today? They have only sold a couple of thousand for all 3 gsme apparently.
Tasty challenge on Forrest there.

Let me know if ever you do; first pint’s on me…
Even with the stinking attitude Rasmussen better option than murphy.
The first few months ras played after signing he looked ok, definitely a poacher who looked like he could handle himself.
Dunno what happened there.
Wee jamesy made a difference already.he definetly makes things happen.do any o the blog think hes a starter now?
