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.

RC corner
cleared cross backin but Lucas is fouled as he held it low
Vigurs through. Shot blocked by Wilson. Corner.
Ball ultimately comes in, LZ fumbles. GK given after RC player challenges.

GOAL
Watt is judged offside
Kojo – we have been all over that tripe like a rash.
Never offside there.
Quality goal by us
That is an absolute joke
onside – in line!
Offside nah….not buying that linesman..
A Great goal for County.
Celtic needs Competition in Scotland. Genuine competitors.
SHOCKING DECISION> Watt Scores Brother gives off side
Another honest mistake. Not offside.
Great attack and goal by Watt. Offside?! On a yard!!!! Dougie his name, apparently…has to be
Good goal not given. Dylan playing well

Not offside, wonder what that rat Craigan says……

Dylan is 21 and rejoined us from the huns when he was 18.
He must have spent some time with our youth set up ,how long I dont know.
His brother was also on our books ,but when he was refused a new contract his father was not to happy about it.
This was the reasoning behind Dylan going to the Huns.
HH
Officiating standard matching that of the pitch
Do the SFA teach actually these linesmen how the offside rule works or , at least, how it works in the rest of the world ?
The linesman is drunk.
What a feckin pitch!
Disgrace.
Be as well playing on concrete!
HH!!

The linesman is drunk.

We shall Forgive him then. ;)))
Really Really annoyed by that decision, as clear a goal as you will ever see. Pitch is crap, Match Officials either biased or crap, why do we have to put up with this crap. Given the conditions we have played O.K. Gershon, Dylan & Stokes the pick for me. Not a pitch for Kris.
It’s déja vu all over again.
I’m just glad we’ve got the championship in the bag. That was a perfectly good goal from Watt.
Not only is the linesman drunk, as acgr said, he’s a sad malicious wee twat n’ aw.
Happy Cinqo de Maio to all Corona fans
Jimbo67 – You are more than entitled to have a wee whiskey my friend.And you carried yourself well anyway.
What do we about these referees?
It seems to be getting worse,if anything. :(
Big difference between teams is movement.They have we do not.
We look to have been coached to play like the standing stones of Callanish.
Linesman is a cheat he was in good position but let his bias prevail.
Dylan is 20.
Born 15 January 1993.
HH!!
A good start, followed by a period when we lost control of midfield.
Poor marking at RC goal.
Tony W and Dylan both playing well.
Pitch sets a new low standard for SPL.
Disallowed goal raises the usual questions.
Craigan is a fann…
