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.

Avoid the Olympic games football and tell them why!
philbhoy
They have one game lined up so far against Keltie hearts.
‘Daryll Murphy is like a new signing’….says mark hately
If James Forrest improves on last season and can stay injury freethere is no reason why he cannot be a valuable member of the squad!

ASonofdam

I think the ‘friendly’ has gone out the friendly….
This mob are dirty and the ref is allowing it
ASonofDan that should have been!
Sorry mate.
I don’t know how TET can drink 3 or 4 bottles of wine at a sitting.
Hard work for me!
:0)
These pre-season games are torture……..LOL
We would be as effective with a totem pole in place of Murphy
Watching the game and with all the focus on the Sevco fiasco, I’d forgotten how short we were on defenders. Scott Brown just kicked one of the kickers in the koupon.

Need to be the League Cup early doors.
They’ll be knocked out by the time we enter the Scottish…
Oh sod this! Time to put the boot in Celtic. The boy Watt on the bench? He would rip this mob.
67heaven
……but a necessary evil.
Or would you prefer we revert to the first eleven against the second eleven?
I can remember those games.
Big paying crowds too!
Philbhoy:
their no. 10…
Watt on, Finish 2-1 Celtic.
About time we brought a striker on, I stuck a couple of bob on us at half time, 9/2, there are people out there Lenny who want us to win btw :>)))

Cheers.

he was in mid-air after having been scythed by the Kicker! Some man our Scott Brown.

Aye, but you can drink the whiskey, just a sniff is enough for me :>)
Dick right enough… :0)
Murphy on his best day is still worse than Sammy on his worst!
Why is this imposter for a footballer still at our club?
Should have been 2-0.
Every year we over-emphasise the importance of pre-season friendlies. They are warm up matches designed to get us up to speed. Anybody paying in to such a match should know what they are getting. It is the equivalent of a free ticket for a dress rehearsal of a play.
Give it 3 or 4 games and we should see an improvement.
Commons thinking he was playing at Murrayfield there
This team are well-named, and the ref wouldn’t look out of place in the SPL.
Need 2 centre backs IMO Wilsons not the answer and a don’t think mulgrew is the long term answer either !
Ibrahim on for commons
