Swapping Livingston for Dundee United is the biggest shot in the arm for the Scottish Premiership since Motherwell’s playoff win in 2015. St Johnstone have a one-point lead over Ross County with four to play in the fight to avoid the Premiership playoff spot. Neither are in good form but at least County don’t have to cope with Craig Levein picking the team.
One of these two will face the winner of the Championship playoffs, either Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle or Airdrieonians. Airdrie have never been a shining light in the world but it’s their plastic pitch that would cause most regret – the potential ban will not be in place for next season, if it comes at all.
Raith, Partick and St Johnstone each have a support base comparable to Motherwell and should be able to contribute something to the topflight. This scenario is a lot better than two years ago, when the prospect of Arbroath missed the automatic promotion spot to the Premiership by two points.

Jimmy
I have your email
If Moisy wants to email me on cqnclunks@gmail.com I can pass on your email to him and vice versa??
………….
MOISEY17….” CLUNKS” has Posted his Email address on the Blog…Please see above.
He has MY Email Address, so he will pass it on to you IF you Email HIM.
To be honest MOISEY, it would be IDEAL If you can meet me INSIDE the Shipbank Pub on The Saltmarket on Thursday. IF that is okay because I can NOT stand/wait outside anywhere because of pains in my back and leg.
I will Post on here WHEN I can expect the Tesco Delivery Tomorrow VERY EARLY in the morning, which will determine WHEN I can leave the House ?
HH Mate.
FT 2-2
Only 3 points ahead now.
Disappointing.
Fantastic episode of Ben Foster’s podcast with Fraser Forster. When asked about the CFC support, FF goes on for a while. BF wonders if it’s a bit like the Newcastle support. “Yeah, and then some,” smiles FF:

Did we not get Fras from Newcastle off the back off Alan Thomson coming to us from there???
St Tams if you are lurking – I will be in Kerrydale on Saturday when it opens if you fancy a pint and chat.

I would imagine the Mib’s will be trying to engineer a hearts win on Saturday , and if they can’t manage to help their Ibrox heroes in that way , to at least weaken us for the Sevco game by red cards or turning a blind eye to injurious tackles .
We will have to be both brave and smart .
@@@@@@@@@
That Crossed my mind to , the mibs have put a lot of effort into trying to scupper us , can’t see them calling a halt to it this late in the season , we will need to watch out
Ps but do not bring that Souside Ruffian that is BRRB.

Cheating wee female rangers player Hardy blatantly fouls hearts captain who is carried off with multiple
Injuries. Ref and commentary team don’t even see it as a free kick. Frankly it’s thuggery.

Well done young fella on getting that Job.
—————
Cheers Jimmy. Massive relief. As I’d been out of work for a while.
Thanks all for the congratulations on my job.
Very much appreciated.
Will be back in Scotland for around 10 weeks from June and may even make it to one of the Shipbank meet-ups. 😳😂👍

Yes not hard to spot the outlier there !
Let’s hope John Beaton has had his last chance to influence this season.
…………………….
Admittedly it’s a small sample size, but given what we’ve all seen from Beaton over the years it’s just the continuation of a pattern.
Still having problems on CQN.
Need to contribute something in order to turn the page. Very odd.
Yasss! Dortmund 1-0 up on PSG. 😃👍

They kept a low profile at Dundee , but I don’t think they’re finished with us yet .

you must repent your sins by leaving the toilet seat up 3 times after a pea
And to make sure it works
The 4th time you pee
You must leave the toilet seat down
WITH
A wee dribble on the seat
===========
Or use the Brave Browser which fixes most of the glitches
But to be safe, get brave and do the toilet seat thing above too
Above works the best if the dribble on the seat is from the first pee after a mammoth session and a curry…..
Melvin congratulations on the new job.
If you do make it to a Shipbank afternoon tea party please do not humour Belmont Brian and be wary of big Jimmy’s Jimmy Cagney impersonation.
D. :)
Dortmund score a Kyogo goal.
That’s Melvin Udall been frightened off the Shipbank. 🤣
Evening all
Melvin Udall, Charlie, thoroughly enjoyed your company in ‘Old Edina’
You will be more than welcome to the motely crew that is the ‘Shipbank Shipwrecks’.
Please ignore DAVID66 comments earlier, I am indeed ‘The Thief of Bad Gags, however, watch out for worst ‘ Jokers Wild’ TOM McG.
HH
Tom
TOM G = TOM McL
Tom = Brian.
Doh
NURSE !!!!
Is there no end to this folly?🤔
I wish someone would invent a mute button that could allow you to mute your choice of co-commentator
Quality of control and speed off though in the dortmund psg game is something else
Only problem is the fanny mccoist, stinking up the game with his chat
Quality of control and speed of thought
I should really check my posts before I post them
And I appreciate the irony in my stinking up the game/blog with my chat lol
Trump – Out
Maguire – Out
Higgins – Out
Ronnie – Out

£400m in debt to various.
Borrowing money to cover running costs.
Or as it is sometimes known – the Sevco model.
I’m sure the SMSM would be equally vigorous in investigating large football club finances.
It’s all gone a bit quiet hasn’t it?
That may change soon.
Melvin U
Well done re the new job. That is good news.
BTB
As in the huns??
How….
Sevco ran a loss last year and the biggest football running costs – that was with CL revenue and player sales.
This year, missed out on CL and eliminated from last 16 of Europa.
… Having got rid of a management team
… and brought in new players in January.
I’m sure the sums add up.
Clunks – yip.
Mel- excellent, good luck
