Our man on the inside, Charlie Green, seems to have upset a few people over the weekend. Charlie was playing to the gallery with his “bigotry” comment; it is not credible that the 35 clubs who voted against providing Sevco access to an elevated league are demographic significantly different from those of Rangers (1872/3). Although, there is a good chance that each of those 35 clubs will have a more mixed profile than the former club.
Green is still fending off interest from people with far greater pull with the Rangers (1872/3) support than he has (genuinely hope he succeeds here). He needs to sell tens of thousands of tickets to prevent his new club slipping into the hands of one of the other consortiums still trying to buy a piece of the action. I always caution Celtic from playing to the gallery, it delivers short term populism but is surely the alternative to a strategic plan. I am sure several clubs will express their alarm at these comments to the SFA.
Unfortunately, since the SFA failed to take action on either of Ally McCoist’s earlier inflammatory outbursts so they can expect more of the same from Green and others.
Attempts are being made to convince thousands of people a bigoted bogeyman has been out to get them. 99% of the target population will do no more than complain loudly but it’s the unpredictable >1% who exist in every community we should be concerned about.
To the best of my knowledge no Scottish club has ever accused others of bigotry, not even during ‘that’ 80 year period. If this is the new acceptable standard, the SFA are welcome to it, but it will be better for all if we go elsewhere to play our football. Our game has been potent for a century but it has now become dangerously unstable.
Let us go now, before this is whipped up any more. Anyone wanting to hold Scottish football together in its current form has a lot of explaining to do.

ConspirAcy.

I thought that the BDO takeover in sept was interesting..
He also said that wages of 2.5 mill I think had been paid.
They must have very deep pockets…….or a plan……..
DBBIA- ….also, the SFL website with “The Rangers FC” founded in 1873 + trophies but Airdrie United founded in 1965- listing Bankies honours and not a tin pot of Airdrieonians in sight.

They have very deep pockets to keep their knuckles warm.
Goldstar- I think the Cardigan is in charge of the website.
If, and it’s a big if, they ever get the titles taking away over the double contract issues they’ll still be visible on the BBC website. It’s like the ole Picture of Dorian Gray.

For some strange reason I have missed them talking garbage :>)
Thanks.
LOL!!!!!! This is their level now and how they expect to make Zillions!!
North/East section
Cowdenbeath v East Fife
Raith Rovers v Montrose
Arbroath v Forfar Athletic
Falkirk v SEVCO
South/West section
Annan Athletic v Stenhousemuir
Queen’s Park v Partick Thistle
Morton v Queen of the South
East Stirlingshire v Airdrie United
Has anybody ever seen Charles Green and David Icke in the same room?
If TFPLG is correct and Sevco fans have been punished enough, how come Jimmy Bell’s still there?
Charlize Theron has sent an apology to the SFL for not being able to appear at today’s Ramsden’s Cup draw, as originally planned.
She will try and make it over for the next round.
Me thinks the SFL need to swat up on their geography.
How come Falkirk are in the N/E section, and East Stirling and Stenny are in the S/W section, something no right there.

That cheered my day up no end! It really exposed the truth of the kind of clown at the heart of ragers,or whatever dummy/shell offshore corporation is pulling their strings/yanking their chain these days.
They’re called ‘vulture capitalists’…….with good reason.
HH!
No easy ties in the ole Ramsden’s.

Yes, they were both of interest. But not half as interesting as him having to explain to the other shareholders why they are paying out all that money for a team with 600 season ticket holders and a support that will raise less than £1m in their share issue.
And I do love that head in the sand attitude to the EBTs. Plan B? See Plan A. Oh…
Shouldn’t someone be taking the old BBC Scotland sports department to task. On the SPL pages we have Dundee (east Fife draw Rangers in the Cup) we have Hearts (Black free agent and Little sign for Gers), we have Kilmarnock (Shiels and Kafes targetted), and we have St Johnstone (Kyle trains with Gers). Now call me paranoid if you like but the old East Stirlingshire or Annan get this sort of publicity. I also object to my licence fee being used to promote a plucky brand new club, who have the same name as an evil empire from the history book.
Some draw for the daft wee division 3 club, they must be pooping it this afternoon.
Falkirk FC
Challenge cup winners: 1993, 1997, 2004 & 2012
Scottish first tier league winners: 1907–08 & 1909–10
Scottish Cup winners: 1913, 1957
Record attendance: 23,100 v Celtic
Wee daft divison 3 club:
Honours: Hee haw
Record attendance: 4,123 v Brechin City
Everybody keeps saying ‘this month’! It’s 14th/15th next month!

I visited them at the school about a year and half ago, took a bus from BKK to Nayai am. Took about 2 to 3 hours to get there.

If Black is indeed on 5K a week then he alone is getting paid TWICE the total season book take so far for sevco, according to my rudimentary mathematics.
More brown stuff surrounding Black and others transfers (alleged or otherwise) in to rangers. One assumes that Goain, Wallace etc are all still getting paid SPL level wages for the time being.
Go figure.
Sevco is baloney.
REPUBLIC of Ireland forward Simon Cox
has been left in limbo after West Brom
rejected an offer for the striker.
Cox struggled to get a place in the
Baggies’ starting XI last season and is
keen to get regular first-team football
to keep his place in the Irish squad.
Celtic have been linked with the former
Reading man and it’s thought that
Championship side Blackburn Rovers
made an offer for him.
Cox was left out of the West Brom
squad for Saturday’s pre-season
friendly against Barnsley in the
aftermath of the transfer saga.
“A club has put a bid in for him. It
wasn’t accepted but Simon didn’t feel
he was quite right to play,” said Baggies
boss Steve Clark.
“He said he needed time to think
so I took the decision to not include
him. It was my decision.
“He trained Friday morning with the
squad but the fact he wasn’t there (on
Saturday) is a sign the club are still
talking.”

You have it all wrong.
They have had a massive uptake in season book sales, heard it from the horses mouth :>))
Interesting to see what their plan really is.
Also what steps the sfa and sfl are taking to ensure they fullfill their games, they must have had cast iron guarantees…………
The sooner they go bust the sooner the sfa goes down the same sewer, the sooner we get taken over by the english fa.

Ditto mate,been posting similar last few days.
Any virgin users
A guy tried to flog mej cable t.oday in town. Virgin are doing deals for new customers which are better than existing customers are getting.
I went home and phoned them, threatening to leave if they did not give me the same deal
Now getting an improved ppackage for less than I was paying before. Getting new stuff installed on Thursday with no installation fee.
Worth a call and be prepared to play hardball with them. They don’t want to lose existing custom.
Tomorrow is meant to be last day for promotions.
Good luck.

Black: ‘This is a great draw. Games like these are why I joined Sevco Scotland. that and it being the only way I’ll get a game for a team with Scotland in it’s name. Falkirk away in the Ramsdens which, according to top analyst, Mark Hately, is the new Champions League Last 16.’
Green: ‘Ally has shown progress, getting through the first round of a cup tie is something he had not managed before. We are delighted for him.’
