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.

I was feeling a bit annoyed this morning but I could not prevent a huge smile as I glanced at this morning’s soccer headlines and saw, “McCoist should be knighted.’ Oh, I feel so much better!
Them auld double decker buses aye come in handy….upstairs and doonstairs full o folk in fancy costumes….loads a reek coming out the back of them…are they kept especially for days like this…..love to see them broken down on the motorways….whilst they stew inside…..maybe VOSA have been told to turn a blind eye to them….coatbridge will need fumigated
Good morning all from a gloriously sunny Upton upon Severn.
Lovely to wake up to the sounds of tweeting and not the bigoted sounds of the worlds largest gay pride parade.

Cluj are exactly the correct type of opponent for us to play pre European qualifiers as were Ukrainian side the other night….both slightly ahead of us pre season so playing off the ball just as important.
See Hooper might extend contract. ..great news
Good to see the sun back today bbq methinks pre match. ..
Well pleased for Andy Murray hope he does well in the final
Hail Hail everyone

Good Morning from a warm and sunny Co.Antrim.

McCoist should be Knighted!!!!!
Who wrote that nonsense…….
On a week when his club admitted needing to let people go to he’s dumping players who answered his cry for help last year. …and demanding a bigger squad…..Knighthood. ….
Pleased Longmuirs out of the loop….nit before
got up early today as the circus was out in town….always an amusing site. I ventured to the local Morrisons for my supplies , just beating a musical ( ???) mish mash of bigotry,b.o. and belly stretched polyester into the car park.
On the way out a daddy bear , aged about 40 and baby bear around 27`ish , were perched for support against the bus stop. I always choose my targets wisely and this was an open goal. They were bedecked in RFC strips of some era or other , I enquired “the ranjurs playing the day ? ” in my most gormeless manner ….”naw its furra walk ” says daddy bear….”Awright , ah wiz thinking the Ramsdens Cup started the day , no? ” says I and moved off smartish.
God save Coatbridge.

There used to be a fair number of guys from the “Gong” when I was involved with Sydney C.S.C.
I suggest he gets in touch with them for some ethnic colour.
Cheers.

Wow —–
Wee item on Sicilian radio news ——-
Amateur fitba match in Brazil .
Player disputes a decision and then slaps the Ref .
Ref pulls out a knife and fatally stabs the player .
A wee group of spectators run on to the park , attack the Ref , fatally stab the Ref and then behead him . That done , they put the Ref’s head on a stake and planted the stake on the centre circle..
Hard to believe / I Googled , it happened..
Off oot !
Once again – the Orange Walk may wakens you in Glasgow with that unique thumping offensive threatening drum in the distance like a band of Red Indians in an old Western.
The antiquated drone of dead sound mingles with palour in the fresh Scottish air expounding love, humaneness, and compassion for all in a contemporary world.
You only see them, in your minds eye due to a lifetime of caution, those drudging pavement poor people mingling with the Scottish cops – whats in their thoughts as they wave the cars by, or are they marching to the tune? as well , the embarrassed population go for the messages, skivvy past, and go about their business like normal civilised humans.
