So after 15 years and 121 years respectively, the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League will be wound-up due to the creation of the Scottish Professional Football League. Small objection, I know, but I don’t like the name. It’s cumbersome and, in the case of one member club (Queens) downright inaccurate. They stuck a word in to differentiate the new entity from the historical one, but why ‘Professional’?
I assume the last champions of the Scottish Premier League will retain the trophy, just as Northern Ireland did with the Home International Championship trophy? Or will the brown brogue brigade insist that doesn’t happen? I’m sure St Mirren will be making plans for the now-defunct Scottish Football League, League Cup, or at least they will when someone realises the awarding body is about to cease.
The new financial compensation structure will make a significant difference to half a dozen or so clubs in the second tier of the game but that’s about it. There is no magic wand for Scottish football short of federation with a neighbouring association.
The biggest laugh of the day came from the news that outgoing SFL chief exec, David Longmuir, the man who did more than anyone to prevent the new SPFL getting to this stage, has put himself forward for the new chief executive position.
The word ‘shameless’ seems somewhat inadequate. Make sure the brogues are clean for interview next week, David.
How will that one go? ‘I know, I got it completely wrong. I did my best to stop all of this from coming to fruition, what a laugh. Best thing I can say is, I’m not Neil Doncaster, so how’s about it?’
Better get that CV types, David. Or is my prediction that you were working your way to a position with a lower league club coming to fruition?

all the places you mention are of course brilliant , but what brilliant mind imagines a structure like this, genius, brilliant genius, and the people then subscribe to build it,
i just found it brilliant. need to go back again , and soon.
Its true. Last year I went to parkhead and got a seat and it said “breakfast anytime”. I got myself Poached egg during the Renaissance and depression donuts. What a treat!! 10 outta 10.

That question has been put to UEFA in terms of does Article 12 ( which keeps them out for three year) have precedence over Article 15 which allows a club qualifying without a UEFA level licence being admitted.
Under Article 15 the national association have to make a case that UEFA have to agree.
So far after 2 weeks UEFA have not answered the question put by Phil Mac Giolla Bhain.

one of our bhoys favorites, that was good, ta
For the benefit of Mrs Hite
there will be a show tonight on Celtic Green (..cymbals ..cymbals…!!)
Lenny’s sons will all be there
late of Tony Mowbrays fair what a scene!
Over men and horses green hoops and martyrs
lastly through a hunshead of real fire.
In this way Mr. D will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr D
Performs his feat on Saturdee at Bishopbriggs
Lenny’s sons will dance and sing
As Mr. D flies through the ring dont be late
Mrs D assures the tim public
Their production will be second to none.
And of course all the hairy old whores dance the waltz-!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. D performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. D will demonstrate
Ten summer bets he’ll undertake on a solid pound.
having been some years in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for none
And tonight Mrs Hite is topping the BILL!!!!!!!!!
The Bould Bhoys.
The “tone” of any resolution has to be right but it will definitely give Celtic greater authority to approach the SFA.

In 300 years from now the global Bishops of Timmery will meet in Constantinople and declare the miracles of Whytery. Of how Craigilee of Murderwell was visited by the three kings of Dorian Gray and given gifts of Gold Jockenstein and Murray in the year of our Turd 1971 only to live a life of anonymity and was crucified in 2012 the year of the Nostrahunnus.

And had no time for your Christianity
You paid with your life for their treachery

Hey Luciani
Jesus has gone away
I said Hey Luciani
Meet the Church, Bank, S.A.
They said you were of peasant stock
And one day the curia murdered you
Your hermeneutics are through
And on that fruited plain
The corporate bishop’s graze
Exit church of poverty and pain
The future’s here today
The future’s here to stay
