Predicting what is about to happen in Scottish football is a bit of an art. We all realise that just about everyone has an agenda, so the first thing most of us do is ignore whatever overt line is being promoted by one or two sources of ill-repute, especially when they suggest that Sevco will definitely play football in the SFL First Division next season.
So far around 11 clubs have intimated they will vote against this proposal while only Stenhousmuir, the very club that stepped forward to give former SFA president George Peat a seat of the board after he completed his work with Airdrieoneans, have offered the Loyal support.
Apart from Stenhousmuir, only Stewart Regan and Neil Doncaster seem keen on the idea of allowing Sevco to start their sporting life in two levels up from the bottom.
Ally McCoist spoke some wise words to online channel, Rangers TV (current ownership model unclear). Having gained some first-hand managerial experience against Falkirk last season, McCoist knows that First Division football would give Sevco no guarantee of promotion. He complained that he has only six first team players at the moment, although didn’t add “and they are rubbish”.
There is also the suspicion that Sevco are not shifting a lot of season tickets, income levels could be acutely low, and their potential fans appear to have no more appetite for a grubby accommodation than anyone else. Apart from Stenhousmuir, Regan and Doncaster, of course.
McCoist addressed the prospect of additional punishments to be handed to Sevco for the misdemeanours of Rangers as a further reason to go straight to the bottom of the pile, however, he didn’t touch on the obvious point.
The only way Sevco are going to avoid penalties for Rangers EBT behaviour is if the former club is found to have acted correctly, or if Sevco make no claims to inherit Rangers club licence, name, badge or other unique identifiers.
Anyway, we have Inter Milan, Real Madrid and the Champions League qualifiers to look forward to. Bring them on!

All that walkin. I understand that THEY only do walking away in groups. Its a Peepil’s sport. Some of THEM do it locally to “entertain” us and some really adventurous ones even aim for far away places like … erm…Southampton.
Good luck to them.

So a guy wakes into a peaceful bar on a Friday night for the first time and starts telling everyone what to do…claiming also to know what the rest of the people want..
Okay it’s different…

If lightning does strike those neanderthals on their “walk” tomorrow, will it be a case of “sashes to ashes”?
Hun texted me to say “we may have got away with this” my answer was ” no, you are going down to the bottom, where you know you belong” :)

Requiescat in pace
Leave Davis does do walking away :-)
Prestonpans…….
If they get into Div 3…………………..they got away with it. Period.
Anything else, is just more of the same.

THEY are lost. Nothing to cling to anymore.
Nobody wants THEM and they do care.
Is there a wake after the walk
1st?
The makers of GoalRef and Hawk-Eye goal-line technology have told Rangers they can’t use the system next season.Apparently it doesn’t work with goal posts made from jumpers.
Some on here ought to grow up, wishing for the skies to open tomorrow whilst they walk. Tut Tut, childish in the least. My wish is for the ground to open up.
sorry to hear about the passing of a fellow traveller, Lurgan. Why don’t we have a page or part of this blog for obituaries? I don’t know enough about t’internet to even begin to suggest how this could be done but I’m sure it wouldn’t be beyond the wit of this community to design a place where people can write and read about those who have gone before.

Thanks to Brendan for texting me this evening and informing me of the sad news about Lurgan 53. I hadn’t been on the blog for a few hours and missed the news earlier.
The world’s a sadder place tonight. A great Tim and proud Irishman. My deepest sympathies to his family.
RIP Lurgan 53.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed Rest In Peace. Amen

so what do you suggest? Do you seriously think total distruction of them is acceptable to the rest of the leagues?
….some peepil just don ‘t know when they should ……..walk.
Sad to hear about Lurgan53 passing away
Lurgan53 may you rest in peace
Prestonpans……..
Personally, I dont care.
They’ve cheated and bent the best game in the world all in the name of their bigoted hateful traditions and their desire to beat the Tims.
They’ve failed, been found out and should be banned, sine die.

Really sad to hear about Lurgan53.

According to the BBC, the police are going to lift anyone who is drunk, shouts any sectarian slogans or generally misbehaves.
Won’t hold my breath on that one!

My old man wanted it as hot as possible on their ‘marching’ day. More chance he said of some serious injury to some of them.

I’ve been bangin’ on about this for a while now, they should be suspended until the results of all the ongoing investigations are in.
The Craig Whyte take over invest.
The Duffers invest.

SFL3 is not a punishment it’s a gift and they should realize that, I’ll be sick if they kick a ball next year.
I don’t think they will but not because we have strong leadership only because they are an omnishambles..
Apply the rules..
Disband the SFA

Its an awkward one to try and explain to a child. Even for an adult to get their head round what the hell represents now. The schools do so much positive stuff too and it seems that their efforts go to waste due to ignorant parents – why don’t they free their kids from the bigotry?
It makes me angry too and every time I see one I always have a similar thought pattern.. something along the lines of ‘how can I wreck the parade – and get away with it in one piece – there must be a way!’ It’s an affront to modern, mutli-ethnic, secular society.
Can anyone tell me which park to avoid in Glasgow tomorrow? Kids want to go on their bikes but like to go to different parks each weekend.
RIP Lurgan 53. God Bless.
Delighted for Andy Murray reaching Mens’ Singles final. First from these shores for 74 years. Well done Andy! Believe in yourself in the Final. You can do it! I’m sure everyone in the country is behind you.
