Raith Rovers finished a comfortable second in the Championship and pushed Dundee United for the title until late in the season, so they deserve a crack in the Premiership playoff tie against Ross County. Raith have a greater fan base than County, so if they get their act together, should in theory offer more to the top flight. They are also not located at the farthest reaches of the land…..
While County could he heading into the Championship, the biggest team in the Highlands, Inverness, drop out of the division after losing their playoff against Hamilton Accies.
Just a year ago, Inverness kept their hopes alive in the Scottish Cup Final against Celtic until the final few minutes. In September they sacked Billy Dodds and appointed Duncan Ferguson, but the former Rangers strikers contrived to see the club relegated to the third their for the first time in quarter of a century. Ferguson declined to offer his resignation.

Don’t know what you think, but I certainly would not be averse to the club giving the first team squad a significant pay rise, around 20 % . It would show faith I think

Mama Cass, my all time favourite.
I left my heart in Sam Plant’s disco
T.O. Presently rammed for renewals, estimated wait 1 hour
KINGLuBo- bottom line is we need to pay better money to get better players, or we will stand still, not saying give guys 60-70k a week, but we need to attract better players to make an impact in Europe, we are in a good financial position to invest for the next 4 or 5 years.
FLORENCE from ” Florence and the Machine”

Nice one :-). Your coat can stay where it is.
“located at the farthest reaches of the land…..”
We’re a small country, Paul. A very small country. Dingwall is only 180 miles up the road. If that’s worthy of ‘farthest reaches’ you’ve got no business seeking entry to a British league let alone European competition.
You know how far it is from Manchester to London? Try Udine to Lecce or Girona to Las Palmas.
We could do with broadening our minds as well as our horizons.

Joan Baez”
I went to see her in Glasgow. Her exceptionally clear voice was even more so in live performance.
🎶 She is the dancing queen only seven teeth 🎶

PETULA CLARK was also FAB !
Ive Posted before about Petula singing the Song ” THIS IS MY SONG”…..Great voice and a great song that was written by CHARLIE CHAPLIN.
____
That’s incredible. Then again maybe not, as Charlie was a genius. His film, Modern Times is brilliant and so ahead of the times in a statement on society.
I didn’t want Raith to come up with another plastic pitch but hopefully/surely they are going to be voted out, shortly.

Yes mate.
I gave ANNIE a wee mention on the Previous Thread.
GREAT Singer.
HH.
WHITNEY HOUSTON..
Great voice and ” Hot”….taken so young.
HH.
As I mentioned the other day, I just can NOT begin to even think about Celtic in the CL next season ?
We MUST Sign some better players than what we have at the moment in the next transfer window….and maybe the window beyond that ?
I sincerely hope that MATT O’RILEY sees his immediate future with Celtic, although IF Celtic received some MEGA Offer for him….and MATT also gets offered MEGA Wages it will be difficult to keep him.
I FULLY understand that.
Still, several players in the past have found out that ” The Grass isnt always Greener” elsewhere away from Celtic Park ?

Ps lunch break sadly over…back to work I go 😢
Hmmm…….tricky one. I tuned in briefly for Raith’s play off game against Partick. Plastic pitch and a stadium that made Hamilton Accies stadium look like the Camp Nou.
It’s not a great advert for Scottish football.

I agree, however, there is no doubt a wage structure in place if you elevate that I assume that every agent of every player already in the Club will want their slice too. I thought it interesting that Neil Lennon when asked in Kilmarnock and at Celtic Park about strengthening the team he said that Celtic need to and that to be competitive in the Champions League you also need a higher pedigree of player but he emphasised, ‘if they’d come’. We might be a large club and have a pedigree which is known across Europe/World wide but we do play in a League with one other big fish (albeit it stinks to high heaven) and a whole lot of Clubs with zero ambition or desire to push on to anything other than league survival and the odd cup win every decade or so.
As an example talking about relegation I watched the highlights from the St. Johnstone v Motherwell match , two stands which were visible were empty’; last game of the season for Motherwell and few could be bothered going to see them and St. Johnstone hanging on for dear life, again few fans bothered to turn up. The week before in McDiarmid Park 3 stands were pretty much empty when they played Ross County. If those sorts of games don’t get your fans out, then you don’t have a viable fan base.
Ferguson declined to offer his resignation.
Surprising , considering there’s a job guaranteed for him on Sportscene/Sportsound .
