Chaotic life of SPL chief exec

957

The seemingly chaotic life of the Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, appears more predictable after First Division clubs made their feelings on league reconstruction known. Significant amounts of trickle-down money is available from the SPL to second-tier clubs from next season if they vote to merge the league organisations, which is likely to result in an 18 team bottom league. Longmuir managed to put a spoke in the wheels of a considerable majority in favour of reconstruction but his hopes will be denied.

Three weeks ago we reported speculation that Longmuir aspired to a job at Newco Rangers. Yesterday he responded by saying, “I know there are different expressions of conspiracy going on but I don’t deal in conspiracy, I deal in fact and honesty”. You can bookmark that for future reference.

I predict that the conspiracy will soon merge with fact and honesty – if Newco can still afford to recruit next season.

  3. Hold on a minuto!

     

     

    Now that there are two additional assistant referees behind each goal, should the fourth official not be known as the sixth official?!

    The Moral Compass of a hun -BFSDJ-“Can see why Rankers sacked Sandaza,but if he scored 20 goals they would have kept him”

  10. !!Bada Bing!! on

    STV-Show NL mouthing an expletive while covering the Fannygate story,more selective editing MSM style ,ban them Celtic.

  11. Bada- nae Tennents, nae Stella, nae Carling. Curlers has went doonhill, hence the Perroni. All ales I’m afraid old chap.

     

     

    Ps. In restaurant own ma toad the noo,

     

    Cannae even pronounce the draught….

    I happen to believe that the justice system in Saudi Arabia is actually hampering football development in the Kingdom. Too many players can only kick the ball with only one foot!

  13. Remember The ‘Fly-On-The-Wall’ Documentary Made By The BBC…

     

     

    When Peter Reid Was Manager Of Sunderland..?

     

     

    His Every Second Word….At The Training Ground/In The Dressing Room/On The Touchline…

    Wisdom beyond our ken.

    You forget:

     

    e) We are the people

     

     

    Or “All of the above”!

    Chris Graham on shortbread. Mentions “credibility”. Dear oh dear…..

  18. How stupid can the average bear be?

     

     

    Imagine you are a free agent player with a couple of offers to mull over.your agent tells you the clubs, the money and you hear how Rangers treated Sandaza.

     

     

    Who, in their right mind, would want to join such an employer?

     

    It’s truly staggering how the Huns don’t see through it.

    I’m starting to think the fat sleekit cowards at the HATE FACTORY’s jacket will soon be on a shaky nail wae HOVIS HEID.

     

     

    The three recent bumped off the payroll men( Wilson,Murray and Sandaza) were liked by fatty.

  20. Defence for NFL at his tribunal should be simple.

     

    Is he the first and only manager who has sworn and will every single manager, bar none, be from this moment be treated in the same was as Lenny?

     

     

    We all know the answer is no so why not just openly admit there is an agenda against Lenny.

     

     

    Celtic FC, we need to hear from you loud and clear. This is getting beyond disgraceful.

  21. leftclicktic on

    Bob Smith Walker ‏@BobSmithWalker 12m Rangers supporters asking Super Scoreboard what is going on at Ibrox. Deja vu anyone?

  22. Sandaza will appeal to SFL.

     

    Longmuir and Ballantyne will have to try and keep a straight face when they hear that.

    I posted this earlier. Any of these would be a good defence given what has happened elsewhere in Scottish football recently:

     

     

    Neil Lennon should not have to pay a fine for swearing at the St. Mirren game because:

     

    a) He has already been punished enough.

     

    b) Celtic gained no sporting advantage from the swearing.

     

    c) It was all Craig Whyte’s fault.

     

    d) There should be a fine, but it should be applied to Tony Mowbray.
