The appointment of Neil Doncaster as chief executive of the newly formed Scottish Professional (sic) Football League was a forgone conclusion, No Surrender Longmuir was interviewed out of professional courtesy, and the clubs realised that the calibre of external candidates they would attract at the moment would be from the bottom of the corporate pile. Frankly, a heavy hitter would not apply.
Now that Doncaster is freed from his previous preoccupation – trying to parachute a new club into top flight football – he can worry about his key performance indicators, bringing commercial income into the league. If he can’t deliver a good deal, or scams a ‘Homecoming’-type deal, by pulling money already committed by a benefactor, like his pal along the corridor, we’re better off without him.
My thanks to Billy No’well for inviting me onto his podcast show, Desert Island Tims, available here. I had great fun choosing material for the show and even more fun talking about Celtic, and life, with Billy.

? ,how many people ,watching or going to Wimbledon have ever played the game.
Indeed…
Hooper May Stay….
And Run Down His Contract…
!!Bada Bing!! – quite a statement.
Personally, I find it very difficult to compare great sportsmen from different sports. How can anyone possibly answer the question – who’s the best between Ali, Nicklaus, Borg, Jinky, etc etc.
Even on a Scottish level, is Andy Murray a better sportsman than say Sandy Lyle, Ken Buchanan, Jinky (again), Liz McColgan, Chris Hoy…….
Bada bing
Paul Lawrie won a major in golf.

Is the big “blessing himself” Serb a Freemason?

I don’t think so.
The roof call was a disgrace, wouldn’t you say?
Do you know how powerful Andy Murray becomes when he is a Wimbledon Champion?
Is he easily controllable? I certainly don’t think so.
Kilbowie..,
Then again I’ve been wrong before,
Is there any mileage in the fact they received funds from the govt/taxpayer ?
petec
Roof call would never have been given if Englishman had been in same position,imo.
Canamalar, do you have the 100 names and details you need?
voguepunter,
I agree m8, I feel the Establishment fears Andy because of where he came from.

a ceiler…,
We’re in the 50’s with quite a few to return their details, a long way to go yet I’m afraid

Ernie, lazy journalism, try an stamp over someone’s point by makin up a point as if fact an when corrected disappear. Says a lot.
On another pt A millionaire who cud have had world at feet but was an erse a kid on bigot an wife beater bac on drink not atragedy on most peoples moral compass, have seen a lot of personal tragedy an good families turned upside down in last few wks due to health issues an horrendous cruel illness in last few wks that actually quite insulted that someone using tragedy in same sentence as this man, only look on this blog last few wks to see tragedy to normal decent folk
Petec,
I was surprised,yes, and I can see why Andy was raging but I wouldn’t call it a disgrace – although he might! Surely, it’s better to do it at the end of a set than mid-set which could have happened if the Pole hadn’t wilted.
Also, I think, given we haven’t had a British success since Virginia Wade i think, everyone at SW1 will be behind Andy.
Anyway. it’s my birthday on Sunday and all I want is to see Andy’s mitts wrapped round that trophy!
TSD –
enjoy Carluke ;-)

I don’t have shares, how do I go about acquiring the requisite amount?
I know you have my email, so you can let me know there and I will, hopefully, contribute to your campaign.
The campaign’s under way, Pete McLean has had a say
scotlands shame,
I have watched family members battle with drink,both my dad and brother,
the fact that gazza cant beat these demons to me is a tragedy,
as it would be anyone involved in that kind of battle
Sorry, my apologies, enjoy Cleland!
Was Andys opponent from Poland?
Canamalar, you need to get yoiself onto KDS and get some exposure over there.
50,s a good start bud.
Keep it going, you,ll get your bold 100.
I,m looking forward to the agm. I hope you,ll be putting in a personal appearance.
Hail Hail bruv
Jobo….
Getting Warmer…. ;-)
Jude, nay bother pal. Once i,ve wiped my neighbors cats arse, the rest is yours:-)
Canamalar,
….2. Secret cross governance agreements contrary to incumbent transparency requirements…..
My own limited education ended the day I turned 15,so I am no authority, but ‘incumbent’ does not look or sound right in that statement.
Existing (TSD), required, necessary, obligatory,..any of those seem more apt.
I would not have the expertise to advise you on the funding issue.
Sounds like a job for Auldheid or some of our legal men.
You are doing a great job.
Stay with it.
Good luck.
TSD –
Don’t you worry, I know who you are ;-)
Billy Bhoy,
Everyone will indeed be rooting for Andy. He is becoming a peoples champion, he humbled himself last year, for everyone to see. The Establishment will hate him though, IMO, I should really say, ;) apologies.
Good evening Timland
Gene, prayers to St Jude and Padre Pio
Busy day today, with it to continue into tomorrow.
A continued graduation party for daughter no. 2, and engagement party for daughter no.1
Jobs, how long did your daughters graduation last? This is torture for a teetotaller.
