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?

Cadizzy,
I was told by a studio/muso geezer after he hear a set and asked if I’d ever sent out any demos, that Assad had stole one of my tunes, I told him there is also a chance that Assad might have come up with the tune the same way I did, it was flattering though.

you are correct (no prize though). This was before he showed his flip side as Dominick Hide

All this faffing about with wifi and bars misses the point.
Lawwell has to go, enough is enough.
Macan…,
I thought it was a bovine term I was going to look it up :o)
Macanbheatha,
If you can stand the boakin for 10 Mins. Do the no sedation every time.
According to DCI Tracy Barlow and PC Lenny Murdoch (so it must be etc etc )
“Douglas Simmonds (18 February 1958 – 15 March 2011) was a British child actor, who played the part of Doughnut in the British television show Here Come the Double Deckers.
Simmonds left acting to work in science and medicine, training as a medical student before becoming a theoretical physicist and researcher. After working for several years for the Department of Health as an expert in medical computing, he retired and concentrated on cultivating his garden.
On 15 March 2011 Simmonds suffered a fatal heart attack.”
macanbheatha, After all you endured in the H Blocks the endoscopy will be childs play for you. Now if it was me I’d be sedated even if it meant sleeping for a week.
Macan- it depends on how you feel about swallowing a camera- a small one but still a camera on the end of a tube
I took the sedation and didnt know what went on
good luck
Tonyg
Indeed he was. I’d imagine that most of the blog readers will be familiar with the fact that Brinsley Forde – later of Aswad- played Spring in the show. I also understand that Douglas Simmonds who played Doughnut is no longer with us.

macanbheatha.I tried it once without sedation never again sedation for me everytime. H.H.

Sevco Explained (Update) – The new club that bought the history of the old club from the old company via another company. Which owns a bus.
@Hullbhoy
Robin Bhoy,
Best post of the day, imo. I support Celtic. Others doing their best to do us down to help thon deid team has always been the way in my lifetime. Such shenanigans simply serve to strengthen my support for my team.
WE SHALL NOT NOT BE MOVED.
Macan…,
Got the same thing a few years ago, they had a spray which was no up to much, gagging was rubbish, if it happens again ill be taking the sedative, just make sure the clean it well I hear they use the same gear for both ends :o)
jimbo67
I wonder where I got it from that Brinsley Forde was called Sticks….he probably didn’t even play the drums.
Ah memories
