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?

Will the Green Brigade have their own section in the Kerrydale Bar?

The Champions Bar has ceased. This was a subscription. Just wondered how they make up the shortfall. But I suppose the Champions Bar only held a couple of hundred (I think).
Will be interesting come CL time !
Summa of Sammi….

Listen to the olde Auldheid and stop being confrontational.
Checks and balancers are every where. I pick at the most obscure things at Auldheid etc because, well because. It is my Calling I guess.
petec,
What are you talking about ?
Shame my aul pop won’t be here to see the Rovers win the Ramsdem Cup Tie, he was born on Cliftonhill.
Still he would probably prefer to see them beaten R@ngers. Never had much time for fly-be-nites.
Hail! Hail!
imagine it is a big European night at Parkhead a crowd of around 58,000 are expected you decide to go into the Kerrydale Bar for a refreshment before the game.You get to the door where there is a large number of fans josling to get in the Celtic staff member says sorry the bar is full so you turn to go to one of the burger bars for a Coke and a burger however,you note as you walk away one or two who are being turned away have already been drinking and are getting abusive.Have you really thought this through Celtic ? how is it going to work ? H.H.

petec,
What are you talking about ?
______________________________
You obviously want me to expand. ;) Are you sure you want to do that?
It will mean 2 or 3 hour videos, videos I have posted on herr Religiously. :D
Sevco bus voted best coach at Ibrokes
petec,
As long as its relevant to what you were on about with the quote then calling me confrontational I really don’t see the link, and what has poor Auldheid done to get dragged in ?
So the Kerrydale Suite is to become the Kerrydale Bar?
Very good.
But!
I am hearing that everybody entering the premises are to be frisked, in case they are trying to conceal half bottles of vodka on their person – and that includes ladies’ handbags!
Sack the board!
HH!!
Dear Holy Father
Please don’t let Celtic ever go into liquidation and die, even if it means we get world class bus.

In my youth, early 70 s there was a hyper kids TV show with canned laughter called THE DOUBLE DECKERS.. Infectious theme tune, I can still sing 40 yrs later.
It had all the ” stars” named as they appeared in the opening credits..
What fun I’ m having mentally, replaying it with Sevco characters..
” fun and laughter,is what we re after, on a double,decker London bus”
Indeed, Sevco , keep the laughs flowing..
HH
Livibhoy……..I will try to ensure that I am sober when I enter the bar !!
I also hide it well unless I fall flat on my face HH :)
Megiddo 1 so far
Hollyoaks are better thqn this?
WOW, that is an amazing entice……….
Wait until you watch the 2nd installment, it is a real helter skelter…especially with current events…
I hope you ALL LOVE everyone you dislike, hard I know, but not that hard compared to what…
Fair play to Longmuir wanting a job with a lower league ‘community’ club.
Reaching out to the marginalised and most vulnerable is a worthy vocation. Trying to change the heinous behaviour of some who have been left behind in the rat race that is life and in some cases History, is commendable. I hope he gets the job he really deserves.
Will Jimmy Bell get a padded seat with a headrest on the ‘magic bus’?
More likely made to lie in the luggage compartment next to the kit hampers.
HH!!
