The Scottish Football League today placed an upper limit on which division Sevco can play in next season – their Third. We must now wait on the company providing sufficient information to complete their application to the SFL and for membership of the Scottish FA. Although many Rangers fans want Sevco to join the Third Division, chief exec Charles Green was clearly hoping to start life higher up the food chain.
The overwhelming nature of this verdict indicates the solidarity between clubs and fans, throughout the divisions, on how our sport is governed. This is a good thing but it leaves one burning question on the table:
Is the Scottish Premier League insolvent?
Last week SPL chief exec Neil Doncaster told SFL clubs that the Premier League would be unable to meet its contractual obligations if they did not vote Sevco into the First Division. Unless this was a shameless lie designed to bully clubs into giving Doncaster what he wanted, the Scottish Premier League Ltd should seek to appoint an administrator without delay.
You can ignore comments about league reconstruction at some unspecified point in the future, Doncaster told us last year that “those who want 16 teams in the top flight are deluding themselves.”
The Scottish Football League does not need the SPL, or its money, to continue to thrive as a community-based sporting entity. They will flourish. What happens to the SPL remains to be seen.
As we have observed once or twice before, M. Platini, where are you? We need the football world to assist with the survival of the game in one of its historic heartlands.

J.C. was called a nutter back in the day. Mahatma Ghandi was ridiculed. Nelson Mandela was branded a terrorist. Times change.
Me? I’d like to see Iain Duncan Smith’s head on a stick,just like George Dubya in Game of Thrones.

Easy enough to get into a Bilderberg meeting,
all you need is a helicopter and a letter of introduction from Brzezinski,or Mandelson or Rockerfeller or Queen Beatrix or Blair or Osborne or or or……
What’s the military count in London now? 35,000 troops, 10 battleships, some tanks and 10,000 Metro rozzers??

Good thinkin bud. Chico Green’s the only geezer I know with a helicopter. Might have to knock it – then I’ll gatecrash next meeting, jump out and say “Geez a joab”. They’ll respond favourably to my initiative.
I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth. Banks are going bust. Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there’s no one anywhere that seems to know what to do with us. Now into it. We know the air is unfit to breathe, our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be. We know things are bad. Worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in a house as slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller and all we say is, “Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster, and TV, and my steel belted radials and I won’t say anything.” Well I’m not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad. I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot. I don’t want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crying in the streets. All I know is first you’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, “I’m a human being. God Dammit, my life has value.” So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” I want you to get up right now. Get up. Go to your windows, open your windows, and stick your head out, and yell, “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” Things have got to change my friends. You’ve got to get mad. You’ve got to say, “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open your window, stick your head out and yell, “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”

I should have phrased it better.
The engineers of Occupy have a real agenda and they are using the really concerned people in a shameless and shocking way.
There is plenty evidence on the old net about various groups attacking various Christian sites.
Remember you might have to dig a bit deeper to get news that is not allowed to be published.

That is Incredible. I have never seen that before.
THANK YOU so much for posting this.
I think Big Carlos Puyol is one of the finest men ever to grace a football field and he plays the way he is, Respectful to everyone and fearful of noone.
I love that Big Man so much. That Barcelona club really does have the right ethos.
Aye,Stalin hijacked the Russian revolution,whacked Trotsky and set about the entire country with Beria.
Revolutionary movements nearly always get taken over by the psychopaths.
Fertile ground for predatory minds. Much like the banking world.
Hang on, can I not just ask the one under my bed how to join the Bildebergs??
Better looking under The Round Table.
True….but in my mind I was a cast of thousands!

The huns are finito, theres no rescue plan
They thought they could beat the mathematician, Fergus McCann.
As long as you remember that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
Right on that note, am off to my pit to imagine myself joining the Bildebergs and achieving world peace.
Night all :))
They make me sick. They really do.
“A loyalist band has been filmed stopping to play loyalist tunes outside a Catholic church in north Belfast.
The incident happened at St Patrick’s Church on Donegall Street during the Twelfth of July parade on Thursday.
The band – wearing Shankill YCV uniforms – was recorded walking around in circles outside the church by two different people.
At the end of one of the videos, the person recording it is confronted and threatened by members of another band.
At one point the band was playing the music of “the famine song”, an anti-Catholic song which originated in Glasgow.
The famine song is played to the music of the Beach Boys’ Sloop John B, but replaces the chorus “I feel so broke up, I wanna go home” with “The famine is over, why don’t you go home?”.
Sinn Fein activist JJ Magee said he started to film the band with his phone outside the church as he thought they were being very provocative.
“I noticed out of the side of my eye two guys approaching me and they started shouting at me and threatening me,” Mr Magee said.
“I started slowly walking up the street backwards, but then some of them started trying to snatch the phone off me.
“I then just had to protect myself and stop the guy swinging his stick at me and the other guys coming at me from the side swinging and pushing at me and then a couple of Orangemen with sashes on broke from the ranks and came over and started swinging kicks at me.”
Mr Magee, who was not injured, said he remained as calm as he could as he looked to see if anyone was going to help him.
“The police officer, who was in charge of the situation, he noticed it and just went for his baton straight away,” he said.
“He swung at the Orangemen and bandsmen and pushed them back onto the road.”
‘Dancing to drums’
The man who filmed the other video – and who did not want to be named – said it happened shortly after the main Belfast Orange Order parade left Carlisle Circus.
He said there was a delay in the parade and the band moved from where they were standing to play outside the church.
He said they played for 15 to 20 minutes and at one point were dancing outside it while drums were being played.
Such incidents had been occurring for several years in the area, he added.
Sinn Fein’s Conor Maskey saw the end of the incident.
“The actions of the band outside St Patrick’s Church was deeply provocative,” he said.
He said the words of the famine song were “deeply offensive and verging on racism”.
Community worker Frank Dempsey described it as “totally provocative”.
“Every year, up around Carrickhill and St Patrick’s Chapel, we’re subject to the same thing,” he said.
In a statement the PSNI said: “During a parade through the area it was observed that two bands continued to play whilst stationary outside the church. Although it was deemed that this was not in breach of a Parades Commission determination, officers liaised with parade stewards to negotiate an end to this action.
“Police evidence gatherers were also tasked to the area to monitor and record the incident.
“Officers intervened when a member of the public privately recording the incident was approached by a group of men. Throughout this incident police worked closely with stewards and organisers to resolve the situation peacefully.
“A considerable amount of footage has been recorded and will be studied closely. If any criminal offences are detected a full and thorough investigation will be carried out.”
In a statement, Belfast County Grand Lodge said: “The institution reviews all parades and will take any issues into account in that review.” “
