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?

Right, self imposed summer interweb break coming up – clears the mind. See y’all in a few weeks.
I’m away to find myself. Right after I’ve found a few beers…………….
Great idea from Celtic with the new lounge for the fans,it will give them an idea of how much the fans will generate new income for the club prior to the Celtic triangle being developed and ofcourse the teething problems of how to facilitate and manage it..revenew for the club and not local pubs i’m in favour of no problem.i used the Champions lounge several times over the lasy few years and totaly enjoyed it..no walking in the rain from pub to seat,money going to the club and allowed to wear your club colours oh and decent food too hail hail
When Allystare Muckoist burst into the Ibrokes boardroom ,steakbake gravy dripping down his chin, shouting “WHERE’S MA DOUBLE DECKER?”, he was NOT referring to a bus.
Will ‘songs’ be allowed to be sung in the Kerrydale boozer?!
HH!!
I suppose the normal rules of any bar will apply. If the bar is full, it’s full.
If it works without hassle, then it will probably be extended.
It will be up to the patrons whether it is a success, or not.
I would imagine stadium rules will apply regards codes of conduct.
It may mean fans coming to the ground earlier than previously, so, that can’t be a bad thing.
The main point, for, me, is that it is a major step in providing all fans with access to alcohol in the stadium.
Perhaps, if it is proved viable and popular, then, further development outside the stadium could increase this facility.
It’s up to the fans.
New league set up should have new admin and execs to run it not these spineless lowlife who have all but destroyed our game for the lust of one organisation..longmuir and his ilk should be booted out the country never mind the league h.h

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 ?

Yer Brilliant pal, FFM, told me to make sure to listen to everything you say. I certainly do that, I never needed that information but he was promoting you when it would be easy to denigrate you, we’re all, obviously trying to work out things, I have been wrong so many times, it hurts when that happens, especially when you have a real Love of Celtic, it is BRUTALLY obvious you love Celtic to the maximum.
Following the news that the ‘Simply the Best Bus in Scottish Football’ has specially designed made-to-measure headrests for the crack Sevco management triumvirate (no, really!), news now reaches me that big Lee McCulloch’s seat has massaging armrests, to soothe his bruised elbows after another hard shift in the ole lower leagues.

That’s no good at all. A few weeks?
By all means take the odd evening off, but let’s be having you back on here in far less time than a few weeks. In a few weeks’ time, Celtic will be in Belfast. We will need your views and your news.
Sevco are looking a shoo-in already for Scottish Sportswriters’ Team Bus of the Year AND Young Bus of the Year.
#Jealous.
He he he am yer bus
The bar will be strictly supervised and observation to conduct and safety will be paramount,that i have no doubt..any trouble or deviation from that code and you’l loose your ticket or season card or worse but thats not what we want to discuss realy is it?
petec,
There’s millions of us and we all love our club, might no be as many as 500 million but enough to keep it afloat in hard times
Hail hail

bar/bus bus/bar
;o)
tommysbhoy,
Totally agree.
That is what we should be campaigning for.
It is for a fulfillment of Reid’s “Those Days Have Gone” pledge that should be the focus of Scottish football fans.
There should be no place in the game for those who shamed the Game.
I sincerely hope that there will be no ‘kettling’ incidents in the Kerrydale boozer!
Keep the rozzers oot!
HH!!
of course ole Dick Byrne will have ‘priority boarding’ for service at ole Kerrydale Bar.

The ole Book of Daniel is what I ama currently listening to.
I know you had issues about the Old testament and the New Testament. I find the Bible incredible in it’s foreshadowing, from the very little I have learned.

A brand new bus, has the face painter and the wee paper boy been paid yet? Or did they get this money from the half time cross bar challenge competition that no one won? Just a thought (cough! cough!)
Are Doug and Dinsdale Piranha runnin’ the ole bus now?
Paul, as they say in Fife Longmuir’s got a neck for anything bar soap.
petec,
I never had issues with the Old Testament I have issues with Christians who use it to corrupt the message of the New Testament the words of the Christ should not be twisted using text from a book that declared an eye for an eye.
The Rangers have a new coach? Damn.
Oh, it’s a bus. That’s aright then.

Good afternoon from a dreich, downcast hun-infested Ayrshire. The post last night with the kink to the “Broon” family choir was hilarious. What chance in life do those children have? anyway I have a suggested addition to their repertoire. “The wheels on the bus go round and round………..All day long” The sevconian’s answer to the von Trapps.

Dontbrattbakkinanger,
The ole Gazebo not grazing Kinross?
Sometimes you just have to say no, offered tickets for Sunday, lineup looked weak, IMO.
Rejected.

I must, again, raise serious objection to the totally bias nature of comments regarding the wearing of ‘brown brouges’. The fact that you insinuate that by simply wearing a certain style of brown leather footwear that one is obviously a Hun / Zombie / Goat worrier (delete where applicable) is annoying in the extreme. I often wear brown brogues and have a couple of rather nifty pairs of Jeffery West ‘brown brouges’ and take offence at the constant ‘allegation’ that only Zombies can wear this rather smart item of footwear. Any discerning gentleman knows that his wardrobe is not complete without at lest one pair of ‘Brown Brouges’
It is high time that all forms of footwear discrimination is banned from CQN for ever.

“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.”
“Sticks” who was the drummer (no,really!) was player by Brinsley Ford who ended up doing vocals in Aswad
From drummer to singer long before Dave Grohl and nobody had to die for him to get the gig

Jimmy Bell has his own customised seatbelt which he has covered in regalia, and it is coloured, – you guessed it – bright orange.
A trialist( or recently signed player if you’d prefer) at the Sevco club noted “it’s like he’s wearin’ a f*ckin sash….”
