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.

They’ll probably go on to ban all forms of media and and apply full soundproofing to the victorian lavy so they can have a big sash bash if they play there again next season.

Agreed , the BBC helped them out at every opportunity . Games on TV , more money into Huns piggy bank ( I’m sure that’s where the 22 million will be :-) . )

A very big thank you to the boy jinky who popped in this afternoon to spend a couple of hours.
Cheers mate.

Hope to get down for an hour or so.
Why have sevco banned the BBC?
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
What nice complimentary remark did the nice Mr. McCoist whisper in our managers ear,
and why did NL misunderstand it to such an extent that he reacted so ungraciously to said nice Mr Mccoist? Eh? Huh?
From their way forward document
• Players will be disciplined and act mature on and off the park.
Would that be old Victor they are acting? Or did they mean maturely?
I blame Kafflic schools.

In the Crowme Plaza in the toon,a few Sevco ties on show….
Radio Scotland phone in on now. The presenter gives points they want calls about, not a mention of the ban from Mordor. Usually they cannae talk enough about them. Hmmmmm.
The song “have you seen a handsome hun” easily stands the test of time.
IMO Jabba banning the BBC today is an oblique threat to the rest of the MSM – don’t run with any stories that might emanate from Chuckles and Craigy in the coming weeks?

I think it shows the wheels are coming off the third division champions safeway trolley bigtime, there’s been a massive falling out and the scoundrels are turning on each other..
There’s only so much cosmetic surgery you can do on a deid boady!!
I’m staying home the whole of next week to watch the car crash..
No to Newco…
Jim Traynor would eat his own baby to survive.
He has no moral code.
I have never written anything poisonous about another human being on this blog.
It normally not my style.
The man is a psychophantic,servile, toady,creature.

I’m beginning to miss Charlie Green.
He deserves to be in charge of the manky mob.
The Zombies also deserve him.
The sleakit rats words today were the sounds of a dead man walking already aware of his clubs demise but remaining loyal to the end like,a real true Hun
Tinytim-you can do a wee bit better than that :)
I watched the snooker this afternoon.
I imagine the barely literate sevconians did not. They were too busy in a friendly bigoted way battering their English namesakes into the pitch with their exuberant brand of sporting violence.
Reading some of the tripe they regurgitate, I’m surprised they don’t paint the turf blue.
They’re way too engaged in attempting to do that to the air, I suppose.
We better be careful on here….or one or
two cqner’s will get banned from ibrokes
as well.
shall we start a list

Was thinking of you when I posted – my thoughts were that something is cooking and a slap-down for the BBC is only way they can appear to flex their muscles.
BT aka SDM
Twas good to catch up … enjoy the kerry oot… ;))))
How often have we called for these monkeys to be banned?

I wish the wheels were still on the trolley and it was heading towards the edge of a very high cliff .

Cheers again jinkster. .
Can’t get to them yet. O))
Jabba finally got his revenge for the rammy with wee Chic last year throwing him out of Ibrokes prior to the ‘celebrations’ today.
Blue on Blue action. Brilliant!
