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?

I thought Manx Shearwater was a 60′s Vaudeville act!
They are sooty black on top and Snowy White on the bottom- a sort of avian Black and White Minstrals, so yes.

Manx Shearwater
Bonnie, no?
‘Manx Shearwaters are long lived birds. A Manx Shearwater breeding on Copeland Island, Northern Ireland, was as of 2003/2004 the oldest known living wild bird in the world: ringed as an adult (at least 5 years old) in July 1953, it was retrapped in July 2003, at least 55 years old’
Bournesouprecipe – apols for the wrong spelling.

That must have upset a few erswhilers, did she have piles of Ash outside on the pavement.
Every Sunday I would be over a my Nanas and have Captain Scarlet on, we never knew just what these Sainted Ladies went through for us.

For years the Seagulls have bred and reared youngsters. This year they are not hiding the fact they don’t like Grey coloured Cars. There is so much sh*t all around the car as well. It isnae funny any mair.
It is Pre-meditated In my humble Opinion. ;))

You always have to make it exotic. ;)
Great comment.
I noticed whilst up in Sunny Oban, last week, that either a Swift or a Swallow was doing the most amazing manouvres in the ole Shinty Stand. Bach in the ole 80s, we had many a bird of this type, noo we have foxes and diarrhea infused young seagulls with Attitude.
Gulls of today, hmmmm

Doesn’t say. I reckon if you are not there at opening time you won’t get near it!

Great to hear that we are opening the Kerrydale Suite to all of us. I would much prefer giving my money to Celtic even though it is likely to be a bit more expensive than the local bars. Another good move by the Club.

Knocking on the door at opening time is an art in which some of us have specialised over the years.
If their beer is as good as their pies,I’ll be elsewhere.

Bada,
I’ve never met the auld fella, yet.
He is definitely in all of our thoughts.
There is also a cunning plan to ensure no one becomes too intoxicated before games, two 75 year old barmen with hearing trumpets and bladder problems that will require them to take turns to make use of the latest in on site staff toilet facilities.

Should be a winner. Interesting to see the police reaction as entering the ground whilst drunk is not allowed.

No here’s a question, will this bar remain open during the game?

It will be a cider bar with the Wurzels providing the pre match entertainment.

I could not have expressed my sentiments better.
Don’t let external factors split the Celtic support.
