The world looked so different for Scottish Football League chief executive, David Longmuir, back in March. He convinced half of the member clubs to reject a deal which would earn them considerably more money next season, while enjoying the accolades of Rangers International chief exec, Charles Green.
Green remains a controlling director of Rangers International, but Longmuir’s actions infuriated First Division clubs, who have now applied to join the SPL, furious at his attempts to subvert them earning what many see as crucial income next season.
To suggest Longmuir acted in the interests of one Third Division club to the considerable detriment of all First Division clubs would be stating the obvious. These shenanigans still go on in Scottish football, even now, after all that happened last year, but it is reassuring that the overwhelming majority of voices have, again, said, ‘On your (boardroom) bike’. We are rapidly becoming one of the least corrupt countries football is played in the world. Good luck to all in the First Division.
I read the leaked document, Rangers (sic): the way forward, yesterday afternoon. It was so ludicrously lacking in anything which remotely resembled substance I assumed the leak was an attempt to discredit Charles Green. Then I heard BBC’s Chris McLaughlin say it was Green himself behind the leak. The fact that the Rangers International director categorically recognised the club is lumbered with a lame manager hardly passes for insight. The document was embarrassingly inept.
“The team will work for each other and press the opponents when not in possession.
“Most of all, players will come off the park knowing that they have done their best.”
In a high-level policy document this is cringeworthy.

Haha I’m sure that Newcastle goal crossed the line.
BobbyM’s post there about Reading reminded me of a game the wife and I play when we are on a long car journey.
Sad so it is, but we started years ago, and still do it, words that are spelt the same, but are pronounced differently.
There are wheans of them BTW.
This sad Tim is off to bed, car boot sale in the morning.
Take care and god bless Timland.

The sfa can do anything they like if the clubs allow it, and that is what they are doing.
As long as the fans are giving the clubs their money, nothing will be done about the corruption.
It’s a catch 22.
I’m not advocating boycotts, not in a position to do so, but the only way the clubs will act, is if their income stream is taken from them.
complete agreement with you on that,furthermore i find it astonishing that all the other club’s including our own have not
decided enough is enough, i would also like to see paul.67 offering an opinion on this and to have a blogg piece on it, hard questions need asked and serious answer’s are needed to explain this position of complicity, because make no mistake
their is corruption at they top of our game as has been proven
by the act’s leading to a newco’s presence in scottish football ahead of more deserving club’s, this is plain to see if you want to see it that is, it’s alright keeping powder dry if you are gonna use it,if the powder is not now ready after what has went on then it will not be used, and the way our manager is being chased and harrassed at the slightest wim must also be reason enough to call for change through out, i suppose if i was really paranoid i would think the sfa are in posession of some serious material and are feeling quite safe.

Long live the Barrowlands.

Muney, muney, muney…tis what it’s all about, well at least the other clubs, they want the bigot pound come what may.
The sfa are just corrupt huns.
I have swithered about the game for a while now, and am nearing the end, but, and always a but, Celtic are in my blood, and that is something that I fear I can’t turn my back on.
We, the support are Celtic, not the suits who do their stint, they will come and go, we are the club.
It’s down to the support, and we are presently facilitating the corruption.
Catch 22.
I honestly wish I had the answer mi amigo, but we as a support are as diverse as the weather.
I still hold on to the belief that something will happen that brings their house of cards down.
We had the dossier a couple of seasons ago, I know it existed, Paul even alluded to it on here, Dr John alluded to it, it’s never seen the light of the day, why I ask myself.

BMCUW,
Sorry for not answering the phone earlier. I didn’t even realise you had called until a few hours later and didn’t want to phone in case you were in your bed after an arduous but no doubt very enjoyable few weeks.
Today the wee chap won a frame at the snooker against me. Downhill all the way now for me. ;))
I still won 2-1 though but I like his determination to win, he is asking his Mum now to go play Snooker with him. FFS she cannae even play Pool.

THE EXILED TIM,
sadly i honestly see the future being a lot worse, because if thing’s are allowed to go without answers and action’s what will it be like when the cant believe it’s not butter club enter the main arena, if the sfa can get away with this then nothing is beyond their realm and we and other club’s will have allowed this by non action.

Gordon64, the barrowlands was a cracking place to watch live bands. I did have one life changing experience in there. I took the (potential Mrs ACGR) there in the early eighties to see aztec camera. The place was jam packed to the gunnels and bouncing. I looked round and there was no sign of my beautiful future bride. Five minutes later I realised she’d collapsed beside me. The thing was, people were dancing on top of her and she was sparko. Anyway, a quick visit by the SJA folk in the yellow jaikits and she was as right as rain.
The life changing bit was realising that any time I needed an ambulance while in her company it would be there pronto. Nurses and doctors are as thick as thieves jist like the masons:-)
